Yeah, but sometimes, my favorite corner on the commute is free (tight 180 degree, one way, good visibility, a challenge to take at 30mph), and I can try to go for a double heel-toe downshift and nail that corner.

For the TL;DR crowd

If I had a hernia I’d still would want to drive a 43 year old Ferrari. So by that metric, your car is the most comfortable car imagineable.

Raphael, if you read this, I like your photos. They aren’t perfect, but they are nice, and they are just different enough to make you look twice.

Bugatti is a proud French manufacturer and as such does not give a single merde about what the less well-governed parts of the world think of the safety of their glorious creations.

People buy them because they look like they can go offroad, regardless of any actual offroad prowess.

they’ve taken Alec Issigonias’ timeless space-maximizing design and made every part you can touch or use or smell or look at as good as it can possibly be.

Yes. A thousand times yes. You should definitely be thinking in problems, especially in the comment section of an article that is about finding creative ways to overcome problems.

Oh get off your high horse. If ageism really mattered to you you’d do better to find all the comments ‘minivans aren’t cool because our parents drove them’ to flaunt your tolerance.

Towing and handling is mutually exclusive anyway.

“I don’t give a fuck” followed 4 zillion pages of reasons why you bought it.

My parents had Renault Espaces and a Ford Windstar for a while. That’s what I’d get if I needed the space. SUV’s are compromised vehicles. Inner to outer volume ratios are shit compared to purpose-built minivans. And the new Espace is a handsome car.

Easier to get in and out of is an argument for old people. Old people aren’t cool, and neither are cars that are easy to get in and out of.

Stopped reading at ‘cat delete’. That shit is for wankers. You want to make power, fine. But you don’t have to be a dick about it.

Could be worse

The steering rack is electric and feels as light as you would expect from a crossover. It becomes easier to turn the wheel at lower speeds for ease of use. That being said, the steering wasn’t distractingly numb, and the steering column and dashboard on the driver’s side were even designed to allow ample room for the…

once upon a time Ford were really really pissed they got played by Enzo Ferrari. So they set out to build a car to beat Ferrari. And after three straight years of abject failure, they commissioned the brits to help. Enzo in the meanwhile had lost interest and then Ford won a few times. After they had won Ford pulled…

Even in 1967-1975 105 wasn’t really anything to write home about. The Alfa Twin Cam made 130HP with twin carbs. And weighed a lot less.

My pedal spacing is a bit tight, my feet are rather wide, my clutch is a bit bitey, and my gas pedal is a bit touchy, so I have a pair of loafers in my car for driving purposes.

Are rear-view cameras allowed on the road in lieu of actual visibility? Are there limits on visibility even? Newer cars have less and less rear visibility.
