Neutral: I live in Metro Detroit, but work in downtown Detroit and the biggest hindrance that I see for EVs are the lack of charging stations. In the parking structure where I park there’s only 10-15 spots with chargers on the first level closest to the entrance/exit and they are all full of PHEVs, and non plug in…

I would have voted NP, but I found out that the person who bought this paid less than a grand, and is flipping it for like 4x what they bought it for. It was on a Michigan Volvo owners Facebook group a couple months back.

As long as wagons and hatchbacks are still around, I personally won’t buy an SUV or crossover. However my wife is all about the “crossover life” and I don’t mind having one larger vehicle. As long as it’s not my daily driver.

Exactly what I did! I sold my 2011 WRX 5dr after owning it for five years and put the cash from the sale down on a used low mileage 15 Volvo V60 T6 R-Design. It’s a little bigger, but still fun to drive and quick enough to not be a complete bore to drive every day. Actually it’s better because, it’s a total sleeper…

For upcoming daddy duty I sold my 2011 WRX 5dr and bought a 15' Volvo V60 T6 R-Design. I’ve been very happy with it overall. I just wish the V60 was a little bit bigger.

I’ll definitely be looking at used V9os in 4-5 years.

What’s really odd to me living in Metro Detroit is that I hardly see a ZJ GC on the road, but I see a crap ton of XJs.

Definitely a good point. It totally makes sense to not want to risk losing the payout in the event of an accident occurring before. This person has like four cars and I don’t even think it’s his daily driver lol.

I know someone who has a tuned Jetta Sportwagen TDI and is going to keep it right until the deadline and then make a decision to take the buy back ($12k) or not.

Which I think is the best option at this point. Keep driving the car now and enjoy it since the buy back amount isn’t changing and then decide whether to…

I used to ride a Ninja ZX6R prior to switching to a dual sport, so compared to that, yes the DRZ400S is a lot slower.

I’m not saying it’s not fun though because it definitely is fun to ride around on. In fact, I have more fun riding the DRZ on and off road than I did riding the Ninja, but riding that gives you a…

The Grom? I’ve read varying top speeds. Some saying it’s only 55mph and others claiming just over 100mph. Either way, it’s going to take a long time to reach those speeds on a 125cc bike.

I think the Grom is cool especially as an alternative to a scooter/moped, but other than riding it around on streets/roads that have lower speed limits, I wouldn’t attempt to ride it anywhere else.

I feel like I have to fight traffic on a 45mph road where I live riding my DRZ 400S. And even that feels “slow” to me…

IF I were to get a sedan, I’d probably spend the extra 2-3k and get a new Taurus SHO. I’ll take two turbos with my V6, please and thanks.

That’s funny. I did the very same thing remotely on a 15 Volvo V60 T6 R-Design form a Volvo dealer. I just didn’t do the financing through them as I already had an unsecured auto-loan with cash already deposited into my checking account so all I had to do was write them a check and sign some paper work when I arrived…

Michelin Cross AC-10. They’re street legal nobbies basically. So they don’t have the greatest traction on pavement anyways, but I did notice reduced traction in colder weather.

But I had a street bike (Ninja 650R) prior and also noticed reduced traction in colder weather as well.

50 degrees is about the lowest I’ll ride, and even then, I don’t like my head/neck and hands freezing. How safe is it riding in colder temperatures with street tires? That’s the other issue I see being more of an issue personally.

When I ride my bike when it’s 50 degrees compared to 60 or 70, I notice that I lose a…

The new X1 is more of a crossover still built off of a car platform. The previous gen X1 was literally a lifted 1 series hatchback though so I don’t care how BMW marketed it, it was still a car.

Yeah I guess if the local PD departments use Chargers. Definitely good point though.

Depends on where you live, but my answer would be a Dodge Charger R/T and remove the R/T badge. That way you’ll blend in with the masses, but have some power in case the person you’re tailing should discover you and try and lose you....

As a former 11' WRX 5DR owner, I really want to recommend the Forester to my wife who prefers SUVs, but I won’t unless we can get a good deal on an XT.

CP. Too many issues, and it’s not a “full” STI swap. If it was a full STI swap, then maybe....
