They sit right where the wheel hubs would mount. Regenerative braking assists the traditional brakes.

Build it like a diesel train. Have electric hub motors on all four wheels and then have a little gas/diesel engine generate electricity.

Like This Old House but with cars? One vehicle a season type thing?

Discovery is doing a show called Cuban Chrome which goes into how mechanics over there have kept their cars on the road.

Put the Santa Cruz engine in the Soul. Sell both.

A Buick EV (Bolt or Volt 2.0 variant) should revive the Electra nameplate.

GLA55 AMG?

The Polo GTI, if it offered similar refinement as its Golf cousin would be a serious alternative for the Fiesta ST. Plus, a small hatchback with a diesel would make a great commuter car.

It's certainly something you won't see everyday, and 96k miles is really low for a 25 year old car.

It might be gray market but its over 25 years old. If it still runs and drives well NP.

I'd like a codex, or some kind of museum in the Tower that explains some of the lore. The story is interesting but there's not much real plot outside of Ghost's commentary.

Does it actually get 40 mpg on gas? I remember that Hyundai had major issues with misreporting their fuel economy ratings?

Plus if you get sand/dirt/pine needles in it you can just hose out the interior.

Honda Element bro?

I've got an MKV Golf and I find that it strikes a good balance between fun and practicality. I don't quite understand the GTI vs. Fiesta ST comparison, the GTI is bigger vehicle and is more in the same league as the Focus ST.

I'd go with the Mk5, yes it is heavier than the Mk4 but the 2.5L inline five is a much more reliable engine than the older 1.8T.

I have no clue how much space is in the engine bay, but swapping the standard motor with one of Ford's 3-cylinder Ecoboost engines could make an old one less horrible.

The switch to the 2.5L with the MKV seems to have fixed some problems. So far MKV Golf hasn't given me any trouble. Although I might wait a couple years before looking at a MKVII

It doesn't look to be in too bad of a shape. For $1,950 there's still room for whatever body/engine/interior work you wanted to do. NP.

The TDI motors are usually pretty long-lived.
