With that kind of annual mileage he needs something older with low mileage. Either sacrifice the cargo capacity or the gas mileage. You can’t really get both in something reliable. Drive it for 2-3 years, and then replace it.

But he’s using the Caravan for weekend conventions, so a rental car would become prohibitively expensive quickly.

The Hyundai/Kia 10-year/100K-mile powertrain warranty is only for original purchasers. So if you bought yours used, that shrinks to 5 years and 60K miles, matching the bumper-to-bumper. That’s still highly competitive, but it’s not 10 years/100k miles...and it might mean this Forte is already out of warranty even if…

Sometimes theft

I think I learned more particiating in History Day in Middle and High School than from any history teacher at any level, and my mom is one of those. Thanks for helping out with that and also, nice job to those girls. 

Your point about violent arrests of suspected non-violent offenders, and how easy it is to create that suspicion/probably cause in the first place, is well taken. But what Hertz did to hundreds of people is not simply report cars used without payment. The problem with most of these was due to administrative screw-ups…

I had to step-in on a non-(it)hertz 3rd party theft claim once via fleet management/law enforcement. This was mostly because it was a short-term carshare program that was only quasi-managed by my dept - because it was a for-profit doing business contracted out by our gov. We controlled the parking space which they…

[Ralph Nader] Ask yourself: why is it that there’s never been a meaningful, impactful, or challenging exposé written by a car journalist?

Technically a NP, especially in the current market. But a ND for me at nearly any price. My brother owned one of these, and to the surprise of no VW customer, at around this age/mileage things started happening that had the dealer suggesting they pull the dashboard for service.

“How the hell does an unmanaged file extension cause that to happen?!”

Dumb coders who never think that anything upstream of their technology could ever possibly go wrong or get screwed up.

I really am a cheap bastard.

“Again, 98% renewable energy. That’s incredible.”

Getting rid of dams seems like a bad idea if clean energy is our goal.

True and it guess that's one reason they're expanding wind in Norway.

Let me help.

no we all dont. i ride a motorcycle i stopped rolling through stop signs years ago. its not worth it.

This car is something of an enigma. So it’s no surprise that we’re being asked to perform a Touring test.

I think the car has plenty of power. 0-60 in 9.1 seconds. It’s a barn burner!

Thanks for sharing!

I just figured I’d post a follow-up to this. I’m one of the on individuals who had this situation come up. I ended up informing the dealership that I would not be signing the new contract after I had a litigation lawyer read the original. Never heard from the dealership again and just got my first bill from the…
