I find the B3 quattros to be very flickable. They have a more balanced weight distribution and the sedan's substantially stiffer rear chassis means transition oversteer is more readily available.

I'll just keep mine, thank you. :-P
I remember reading his story and thinking about when I was jobless and without a car and how random Jalopnik readers found out about it and starting sending me money and clothes (nice ones to use for job interviews) and the way I got choked up at their generosity and I just felt like I had to pay it forward for…
"I FUCKING LOVE COCAAAAIIINNNEEE! CHOOOOO CHOOOOOOOOOO!"
Come to upstate South Carolina if you want to see CRX's, 300ZX's, and 1st gen Taurus' in the wild. I see 2 or 3 of each on per week.
My girlfriend's comment while we were watching this:
"If you have a Camry, how over is your life?"
They're pretty close. I drive 47 miles a day to work. Oh wait, they meant round-trip? Haaaaaaaa! In that case, I'm gonna need another 44 miles on that charge, GM. More, actually, in case I decide to, I don't know, stop for something or run an errand on the way home.
I recently bought of 2006 Mini Cooper S and someone told me that I didn't need to warm it up before driving and that doing so was actually bad for it (something about exhaust buildup and the catalytic converter and making the supercharger unhappy, I dunno, they rambled on for a while) and I nodded my head and smiled…
LMFAO. I was actually looking at buying that exact car yesterday. Still waiting to hear back from the seller.
I came very close to buying winter tires this year, but the temperature variation is so severe that I just didn't think they'd last. This month alone we've had swings from the low 20's into the mid 70's. I knew I'd be compromising by getting all-seasons again, but I just didn't feel confident in winter tires lasting…
I agree that snow tires being better in snow isn't even worth debating- it's an accepted fact. The point I'm trying to make is that not everyone needs to make that particular investment. They left out the variable of all-seasons and that's the issue I take with the original video. The original comparison is too…
It's because it's become rare enough to become 'exotic'. Simple as that.
I do not acknowledge that. My AWD did just fine last time we got snow here, as well as the times before that, on all-seasons. In fact, I actively tried to get it stuck a few times, just to see if I could, and I couldn't. The only issue I had was stopping, and that was only when I was on actual ice, not snow. Even…
But is it enough of a difference to justify buying a THIRD set of tires for 2 weeks of the year?
And how do all-seasons factor into this? Because I live in upstate South Carolina, near the mountains: We get about a week or two of snow out of the entire year, but more than likely instead of snow we get crushing ice storms. Still, a few weeks out of the year doesn't seem like enough to justify 3 sets of tires. 3?…
My girlfriend and I are actually looking for that exact configuration Outback (except in grey or silver) for her next vehicle. The Flat-Six versions are so hard to find! We'll probably just have to get an XT instead.
I just had a flash of inspired genius:
Having driven on wet red clay, I can vouch that it is one of the most slippery substances known to man- it's up there with black ice and anal lubricant. If your car has even the slightest inclination towards corner entry understeer, you're going to essentially have no steering input whatsoever. You have to steer…
Any old Audi quattro.
Hi, welcome to the internet. It's sort of like a speed bump- you can either turn around and go back the way you came or you can just get the fuck over it.
