Of all time, it has to be the Classic Mini, afordable, fun, cheap to run, made for over 40 years without any mayor change and still an icon.
I prefer sedans no matter what
One of the main drivers of Crossover/SUV sales is the third row: if you’re carrying more than two kids (carpooling), that extra row is mandatory.
I remember not so long ago that young men, seeking the favors of young women, would drive sexy two door cars to project an image. Now they want to drive the box the sexy car came in. I don’t get it.
All hail the minivan, the perfect vehicle.
Trunks are such an inefficient waste of vehicle footprint. CUVs (short, slightly lifted, wagons by a new trendy name) are better in just about every way.
CUVs are just crappy versions of station wagons. Andy even included a description that made it clear that “car” was not limited to sedans. If footprint was everything, then there’d be more hatchbacks. As for sedans, I don’t much like them either, but a lot of people love having the luggage fully separated from the…
A CUV is a shittier version of a wagon. Taller, worse mpgs, can hold less stuff, etc. I get that wagons aren’t in fashion anymore, but they’re measurably better at most things than a CUV is. Every soccer mom driving around in an empty Escalade/Suburban/X7/Yukon/Grand Wagoneer really just needs a wagon.
If you only need a huge SUV to protect you from other huge SUVs, then buying an even huger SUV is just an arms race, not actual safety.
Saudi Arabia’s Prince Bonesaws thanks you for your support.
Full size trucks and SUVs make perfect sense in much of the country.
If - and we know that many do not fit the demographic - you are single or a couple without kids, the 500 is great. What people don’t understand is that the packaging is really based on the interior out, with fairly high seating position and lots of glass, which makes it feel bigger inside. Almost no overhang front or…
I’ve owned two now, one was my daily driver through 3 New England winters. The perfect size for a married couple without kids. It technically has a back seat but it’s really just useful for tossing your coat back. With the rear seats folded down, it can fit a set of 4 tires or a lawnmower with ease. I wish the 2nd gen…
I have a Mazda2, and it’s been my family’s only car since we bought it new 8 years ago. It was a bit of a hassle when we had a newborn - the rear facing seat would only safely fit with the passenger seat far enough forward to render it useless, but my wife generally still rides in the back with our kid to keep him…
I think I could do a smart car for 90% of my driving. Which is commuting and taking my daughter to school.
I am your stereotypical divorced father in their 40's enjoying the apartment life. So, Mini Cooper? Smart Car? CangLi EV? Ha! Gargantuan. I might as well get a Hummer EV at that point. I have no need of big box stores, Home Depot, or carting people about anymore.
The new electric Renault Zoe. It is an EV, it is a city car, and for an EV, it is affordable.
Nothing to see here, just an old junky Moskvich
Chevy HHR SS (see link below). Duh.
