Probably because the tune leans out the mixture a tad.

The answer to this dilemma lies at Fuelly.com...

Looks like the venerable VAG 1.8t. And given the shape of the intake manifold, a transverse one. Assuming its DBC, but I could be wrong.

Haha. Thats as good a reason as any!

Why not refi the loan?

Would an aftermarket warranty have covered a complete rebuild though?

“Poor paint job”

Haha. Yea I really can’t explain why I hate Subies. I just do and I can’t really explain what it is about them that I hate other than “everything”. (But really I could list stuff off, but who cares...)

300-330hp seems perfect to me in an average sized sedan/wagon. Enough to have plenty of fun, not enough to REALLY get into trouble. And generally it means the engine isn’t tuned to the edge so you maintain some semblance of reliability and efficiency for everyday daily driver usage.

QFT. Zonda is always the answer. Wait...

lolwut?

There is literally nothing anyone could ever do to convince me that the SC300 isn’t one of the ugliest cars ever made. No idea why you’ve got such a boner for them. They’re heinously ugly boats...

And this right here perfectly illustrates the pointlessness of the Nurburgring-lap-time arms race thats only recently seemed to die down. Its basically turned into a marketing wankfest.

Presumably they were forced to add the soundtrack because the 2.0t sounds so damn boring viewers would have fallen asleep watching...

I always maintain that the 300hp mark is the sweet spot for a modern car (read: bloated and heavy). My old g37 coupe 6mt was an absolute blast and could take you to super-legal speeds quite easily, but it was also decently economical (albeit highly impractical) and never really felt like you were wasting its…

Helps that we’ve got a healthy supply of heroin and meth around here...

That’ll buff out.

They were before Tesla. This isn’t that new. I stopped reading them because of their steadfast focus on domestics over most else. Well that and their writing and photography just seemed boring over other magazines.

That’s hardly shocking. Motor Trend has devolved into a shill rag for the Big 3 over the past 10 years anyway. I wouldn’t bother reading that garbage anyway. And I definitely wouldn’t take their opinion on the cars that will likely be the future of the automotive industry as gospel, more like a Malibu sized grain of…

You might even get to test drive the backseat of a police cruiser if you’re lucky!
