Any Honda Civic three door hatch 1973-2005. Nimble, practical, reliable. I owned a 6th gen for eight years and it was dirt simple for the time, fun to drive, and very reliable.

Neutral: All you folks with donut spares, check the pressure at least once a year; twice is better. They don’t stay at 60 psi indefinitely.

It seems to me that the “typical” LR owner is similar to the “typical” MB/BMW owners who lease a new car every three years and are so wealthy that they can afford a perpetual $600-$800 or more per month lease payment, in addition to $N000 up front.

I am also a (lifetime) Cleveland area resident, and a “Clevelander who has no fucks to give about sports”. Nevertheless, I do love to see the “Chief Wahoo” supporters get their panties into a twist about abandoning this racist bullshit.

I’ll add that like The Root’s regular commenter Marceline, I am a (lifetime) Cleveland area resident, and like her, I am a “Clevelander who has no fucks to give about sports”. Nevertheless, I do love to see the “Chief Wahoo” supporters get their panties into a twist about abandoning this racist bullshit.

Got it. I’ve always had one or more spare Perfectly Adequate Vehicles if another is temporarily undriveable. For me waiting six weeks for a new car to be built to my spec is nothing, considering I’ve been driving my current ordered-new DD for more than eight years now.

I have no interest in that power in a street car nor that price in something that doesn’t make me obviously better than the poors.

If you consider a CUV to be a lifted hatchback (See: HR-V and Fit, Trax/Encore and Sonic, etc.), then these are definitely more useful than a four door sedan. It’s the same utility argument that makes a Sonic hatch a more useful vehicle than a Sonic sedan.

...aren’t those spots used for fog lights anyway?

We should be putting our faith and trust in Jesus because science and scientist can and will fail you.

I agree with your comments. FWIW, I am 65 years old and have never owned a four door sedan and would never consider buying one. All of our vehicles have been coupes, 3- or 5-door hatches, and vans (Yes, we are child-free). Cadillac will never build the ideal luxury hatchback I described. Maybe Mazda or Honda/Acura,…

You start talking about 700 hp, where in the hell can I use that other than going directly to jail?...

I needed a car that day...the real deal breaker was the delivery time.

The reality is dealers care about inventory turn above all else.

No matter what the 0-60 times are and how many gs it can pull, it’s still a luxury auto that should make my tush and back feel good. And shifting just doesn’t seem to fit into what I see out of such a vehicle.

Her first car was a ‘78 Civic wagon with a four-speed manual, but she hasn’t owned a manual-transmission car since then.

It’s really just the people who have gotten their license this century who have had a LOT less opportunity to learn to drive a stick. Before that, many, many more cars were sold that way.

Thanks for your reply. I have never been in a position to have acquired a company car, nor would I ever consider leasing unless I could write it off as a business expense, which will also never happen. I generally buy-to-own for at least six to eight years or more; either buying new or lightly used.
