No you’re right, when it first launched it was lease only with the possibility of buying at the end - but was never promised (I assume Polestar/Volvo wanted the ability to buy them back to assess how they aged?). Either way, they ended up allowing owners to buy them at the end. You can buy them used now directly from…

I thought Volvo bought back their majority share from Geely a year or two ago, and besides platform/engineer sharing, operate independently?

Can I borrow it for 36 months to decide if it’s worth leasing?

Volt - Everyone I know with one LOVED it. My friend got one and 5 other people we know bought one because of them.

Is that what blinking 3rd lights are from??? I always assumed it was some new safety feature from manufacturers, where if you stomp on the brake hard it flashes the light? I think my VW can be programmed to do this via OBD2 for free

I was looking at a car the other month and the dealer refused to remove a $1,500 immobilizer that I couldn’t even find. Walked my ass right out of there!

Apparently I need to write a damn dissertation on how symmetrical AWD is better than haldex AWD. Obviously I’m not saying they’re better than a Jeep or Bronco or body on frame. But yes, they are better than their relevant competitors off-road. There’s a reason everyone I know in Alaska drives them and not Hondas,…

I said they’re better than MOST things off road. To me off road = mud, sand, rocks. Obviously they’re not better than a true jacked up off roader, but they’re also better than a vast majority of consumer cars including this Cybertruck, and more than capable off road for a majority of peoples needs.

Yes, like I said, quibbling over the difference between “off-road” and “AWD” is silly. That said, I think a Subaru can do 75% of whatever a Jeep can do off-road with the right set of tires and some extra ground clearance. 

Ok yes, if you want to quibble over semantics then Subarus are not designed for rock crawling off-road alongside Raptors and Wranglers. But you gotta admit their symmetrical AWD system is pretty legendary - just Youtube “Subaru Offroad” and watch one of the thousands of videos.

No one is claiming they’re rock crawlers. We’re talking AWD

Why are you acting like Subarus aren’t good off-road, even my Grandma knows they’re capable lol. Here’s the full video though if you want more context:

Is this a surprise? Subarus beat just about everything off-road, or at least they punch WAY above their class. 

True, it’s not easy work, but the pay off is worth it. Even more interesting/scary is when asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, 75% of kids age 6-17 answer “Youtuber”. It’s the new movie star/celebrity dream.

Nah. I don’t watch his stuff and he’s a bit cringe, but I did see a doc about him and he genuinely works nonstop and is involved in every aspect of his several companies. He’s going to get burnt out, hopefully he’ll retire soon lol

Everything is easy to steal when you walk around with an angle grinder. Should the insurance companies come after Milwaukee and Dewalt lol?

The smartest people I know including a cardiologist are diehard fans of Real Housewives, Vanderpump Rules, etc... I think they need to decompress lol

I think he’s more exhausted than anything. This kid works nonstop 

Surprised no one has mentioned the Volvo S60R/V70R blue gauges that are front lit. Simple, timeless, unique, gorgeous - something a digital cluster will never be.
