If only the US got the R version of the wagon, too. That would have made finding my new purchase even more of a needle in a haystack.

I was test driving a manual Civic and mentioned how the shifter was nice and smooth and the sales-bro said “That’s the CVT”. At that point I knew he had no clue. I also had to park the car for him afterward because he didn’t know how to drive stick.
Which cars require 87 octane? How are their engines harmed by higher octane fuels?
Isn’t that a minimum required rating? Maybe I have just misunderstood all along, but I always thought you could put in higher octane if you wanted, but you didn’t have to.
higher octane gas—usually 95 or 98 octane—is already common across Europe
How many times must we cover that you can’t compare MON+RON numbers to those computed in Yur-rope? The goal in the U.S. is to standardize to a single octane number of ~91 MON+RON because it is the optimal compromise between allowing for better operational efficiency while minimizing the added cost to produce it (which…
I, for one, am outraged. This is a very clear and very expensive restriction on everyone’s freedom to smush stuff and people.
Neat idea. Let’s do some very rough back-of-the-envelope calculations on the economic costs of this proposal.
I know this is beating a dead horse, but the stance fad needs to end. Along with the #RespectAllBuilds retort you get when you tell them how dumb their 15 degrees of camber, crazy stretched wheels, 1mm of ground clearance, etc... is.

They cost a lot less than backing over a kid in your driveway.
Bullshit! Not everyone driving in Michigan is from the area or even the state, and may not know what the de facto speed limit is for that particular area. Here’s what the speed limit is on normal 2-lane roads with cross streets, hills, driveways, etc. where I live. If you happened to miss that sign on this road, how…
I dunno, I found the Mazda HUD in my folks CX-9 to be helpful and unobtrusive.
if you are shopping Focus ST dont bother and get a GTI instead which is superior in almost every single way
The article says 286hp, not 268hp.
I’d be interested to know what they changed to result in this additional power. 95% sure it’ll just be a tune + something minor.
Except for some of us, that isn’t a lie ;)
My Volvo gets me laid.
got caught in an unexpected snow storm in the mountains and 5-0 was mandating snow tires, chains, or 4wd/AWD to drive down. Didn’t want to get stranded on a sunday so I managed to convince the policeman that my BRZ was AWD. “Yeah its a subaru, officer.”
