My mom had a 92 Camry. Let’s just say Mom knew nothing about cars. The oil got changed only when I came to visit from across the country every year. The coolant was changed for the first time at 250,000 miles. Even so, it still was running fine at 320,000 when she sold it to a co-worker who the drove it for 5-6 more…
The 4 cylinder was mocked in the article, but TBH I would prefer it. Far easier maintenance. That said, saddled with an auto in a wagon would have perhaps been a bit much. I dont recall if these were available with a 2.2 stick, but if so that would be the one for me (and make me want to pay asking price. If it was a…
There is hardly a more practical car in existence. It’s so goddamn boring that it circled the earth and came back around to being interesting and amazing.
Haha not sure if you are being sarcastic or serious, but you do you. For me there are just some things you can’t get from watching TV versus actually being in nature.
Here’s the thing with “Easier to set up-” Yes, it will always be easier to set up than any conventional tent. However, Once you’ve set your tent up a couple times, it only takes like 3 or 4 minutes to set up by yourself, in the dark anyway. And when you inevitably wake up in the middle of the night needing to pee, you…
To go see things in nature. Maybe you don’t have nature where you live?
They’re very popular in Australia because of all of the nasty things that crawl around on the ground down there, but for places here like Colorado, I agree with you. Tent works fine.
Decent tent: $269.99
Rooftop tent on a utility trailer! The best (worst?) of all worlds! I guess then we’re just back to a pop-up camper.
I could see this being an advantage if you are on a rocky trail with no truly flat spots to pitch a tent. But, I’d rather buy a pop up with no floor and set my camping cot down on the most stable ground possible to save a few grand.
Traditional tents are more versatile, larger, cheaper, more accessible, and don’t tie up the top of your SUV for things like bikes, kayaks, and oveflow storage, and can be used no matter what vehicle you want to take.
Too bad it is an automatic and converting these is actually REALLY hard to do. I looked into it cause imports of them are much cheaper. You would probably pay as much swapping to manual as just buying a manual one with the same mileage.
“You’ll be surprised to find out that nothing major was wrong with the car.”
I don’t know how much it costs to manual swap an NSX but I’m guessing it would be a very good investment for this owner.
They actually have surprisingly good wheel travel and traction. I’m not a big fan of individual wheel motors for off-road. David Tracy and I were talking about the traction control logic after his big transcontinental drive in an R1T and he was a little disappointed. The electronic locking simulation just isn’t as…
Can’t say I agree with the title. For one, what are these going to be like to own in 10 years, let alone 25. The appeal of the Land Cruiser is part stealth wealth and part durable goods. This hits on the stealth wealth, but it’s a brand new product from a brand new company with zero track record. It might be the most…
The first gen S40/V40 did have a lot of Carisma.
I’d argue that the 850 and v70 wagons were top notch and hold up pretty well today. So simple, yet so distinctive - especially the rear.
