I don't know, maybe you could do some research into exactly what you're getting before you buy it? Or maybe the car salesman can take two minutes to explain what a CVT is? That could work too.

^ Exactly. I won't get another Ford and I cannot get excited about the GTI. It's very boring, very. The GTI does have quality that I didn't appreciate until I owned the ST. Also, what you said about being stuck driving a rental, that has been my Ford experience. And what you said about everything else on offer, and…

Ha, and I was going to replace the ST with a GTI. Just supports my theory, most corporations don't care (though because of this experience, I've heard/learned that Toyota is usually quite responsive, too bad my wife already has a Prius and I don't want anything they make for myself,) and it's really about the luck of…

Other than that it looks to be pure uncut '80s Rampage 2.2. That means lots of fake scoops and side stripes, while on the inside it has those puffy seats that Chrysler seemed to love back in the day. The steering wheel also looks to be out of something other than a Rampage, maybe a Daytona Turbo Z perhaps?

Very long story, suffice to say the drivers door wasn't installed correctly at the factory. Dealer A) Dana Ford if you must know butchered the car and didn't fix the issue. Car went to dealer B) who has been super nice, fixed the door, and realized that part of the Dana hack job meant I had to get the dash replaced.…

Ha, Ford quality. "Software fixes" riiiiiiight. Oh, and just so you all know I speak somewhat from experience as my Focus ST has finally agreed to be voluntarily bought back by Ford. All I can say with my first experience with an American manufacturer and my first experience with Ford, that a) no the quality isn't…

RE: the discussion about vortices and "fined-tuned aerodynamics" or not, ETC. It looks like Ferrari maybe trying to reduce exactly what we are seeing here: http://www.f1technical.net/development/43…

What can I say, but no manual, no interest. I'm also confused about why everyone is so excited, we now have had two Polestar models actually put into production and both have apparently (according to the reviews,) come up quite short in the performance / enthusiasts department. Face it, NONE of you are going to pay…

Good deals, because hurricane season…

Sorry, but no way LRP is prettier than RA. Spent plenty of time at both, and while LRP would be considered my home circuit, RA has it beat. After all, it is a testing ground for Briggs & Stratton, so the freaking grass is amazing, thick and lush.

This, no question about it! Statistics also back it up. Credit to Volvo for bringing it to market, but more credit to Nils Bohlin. Oh, he also worked on ejection seats for Saab, go Saab!

Sounds reasonable to me.

Sir Jackie,

I remember that episode, it was clear from your letter they read on-air you meant for it to be Jeremy. I regret that they didn't send him, (too?)

Dear Sir Jackie,

Looks nice. Been to Wales, had the Welsh Black Beef.

What's that track Chris Harris uses in a lot of his videos? The one right by the sea on a cliff, looks pretty beautiful.

I love it, but had the same thought about the fins / rear lights. Just don't quite work, need to be shorted up. Otherwise, I'm ready to own my own.

I for one loved CfC. Last year when I lost my 2009 Si to the hurricane, used car prices, especially Civics were so jacked up it only ended up costing me appox. $7500 (or just a little under a 30% depreciation) to own from Aug. 2009 to Nov. 2012 with 36k on it. Obviously not including maintenance etc.
