Behold this from Chrysler Cirrus. My GF at the time had one that ate batteries. Fun.

I’ve got plenty of design flaws to roast them on. Relatedly. The interior door opening buttons in the S/X are capacitive sensors, which is just awful. 3 years later I still occasionally miss the button when getting out of the car. The 3/Y have totally reasonable buttons that you can open without having to look at…

Well… this is the most terrifying entry.

I trust tesla_fan to be unbiased on this topic.

Any car where the battery is in a place that isn’t easily and readily accessible.

If the top is down, couldn’t a person also just open the door the usual way, or if needed, reach to the center panel as well?

1996 Mustang GT used a plastic lower intake plenum...with coolant lines running thru it. Guess what happened when that plastic heated up and cooled down over several engine cycles?

I would not realize to look there for a lock for the door.

When I first saw your post, I thought it was gonna be about how Scion made that third brake light go across the trunk...then failed to actually have the LEDs inside of it do the same:

The door handles of most new EVs. They don’t need to be like that. Stop reinventing the wheel. Mach-E, why? Ioniq 5, why? Cadillac Lyriq, why? (Ok they’re fixing the Lyriq handles) Every Tesla, why? Uber had to start sending an alert letting riders know how to open the door handles if the uber was a Model 3/Y. Why can…

1990-2010 plastic parts in the engine bay. I’m looking at you BMW and VAG and your crappy plastic dipstick tubes, plastic water pump impellers, plastic EVERYTHING.

NP. These are fundamentally pretty good cars. Infinitis are not worth the money new, but you can get a great deal on them used and this seems like a good example despite the miles.

I LOVE my 2014.

Goofy styling, a weird color combo, and a nonworking top...appears to be good reasons to avoid. But seems to be in excellent shape besides the ragtop, and I’m willing to bet racking up 200,000 miles on a 13 year-old car means a lot of those miles got accumulated as highway miles. And highway miles when you’re cruising…

You can’t ask us, Rob! We are unworthy to gaze on it, let alone ride in it.

Ex AMG owner here. Run.

A 17 year-old gas-gulping Maybach-Benz that’s guaranteed to ream you with the first problem you have that means taking it to the dealer...you’re kidding me, right?

If it’s about status, you won’t look very cool to anyone. You might be able to use it for business purposes but I can’t see it being profitable. It’s not a future collectable IMO, there’s just no wide desirability for this.
