The Patriot always struck me as a decent, inexpensive run-about that was suitable for light off-road use. The Compass just seemed twee and over-styled.

My experience exactly. The pilot was brilliant, genuinely creepy, and the characters were well-formed and behaved logically. The first few episodes to follow were also great. By the end of the first season though, it was just crap.
I have one. People thought he was a fox when he was a puppy. Carolina Dogs/American Dingos have pointed snouts and upright ears like most wild canids. It’s how dogs are supposed to look. He’s cute as hell, but doesn’t trust strangers. Having a dog people want to pet but can’t is sort of like walking around with a box…
Yes... those were potent, efficient and great-looking little runners!
I loved this piece, but want to make one correction - the largest living invertebrate is the colossal squid. They are stouter than giant squids and have hooks on their tentacles, adding to the bad-assery.
Wow - that looks fun. I would think it’d be unsafe, but it never seemed in danger of tipping.
Some of Alfa’s front-drive hatchbacks may have been terrible, but I’d have been thrilled if they had brought the gorgeous MiTo here back in the early aughts. It’s the 500’s way more luxurious, better-looking, and more practical big brother.
I'd love BMW to shoehorn one of their multi-turbo diesels into the i8 or a similarly low, lightweight coupe.
That there is 21 feet of awesome.
Awesome show, but I think street-commentators are best addressed with laser death-beams:
You'd be better off with a PT Cruiser.
Australia was also home to giant spiked turtles until a few thousand years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiolania
Any crash should be mentioned in a review.
That's freaky looking. What film is it from?
What a good looking car. I'm amazed you fit so well, as it's pretty darn small. Did you track your mileage? I'm curious if you broke into the high teens.
Those Imperials are gorgeous. They were the most expensive American car of their day.
I agree with your choices. I had a 1982 300SD (same basic sedan, but with a smaller engine). Great car. It was classy, comfortable, and averaged 32 mpg on long trips. That efficiency, coupled with a giant fuel tank, allowed for once-monthly fill ups. But, it was crazy slow accelerating from a stop and lacked the…
Capris had four seats. Increased practicality was their only advantage over the Miata.
Didn't the X1/9 have a stronger frame than the 914? Rust issues aside (and few cars from that era were properly galvanized) I'd always heard the Fiat was overbuilt and extremely stout.
