They nailed the taillights and inset Integra logo, which are instantly recognizable. It’s just that it looks like a more mature and slightly bloated version of itself that needs to shout out “Integra” on the side of the doors like a base model Porsche script on a 914/924 so you know it’s still cool. It is styled like…

It might match market values but it’s still overpriced, and this definitely is not a ‘great deal’ but I agree it’s probably already sold. It’s not a hero car and definitely shouldn’t be trading at new MSRP prices, especially with stickers on it and a blow-off valve, and being showcased on the winter wheels - all red…

In some cases an 84 month loan makes sense at zero percent. If you plan to keep the car, and if a reliable vehicle is a necessity and the warranty is over a long period and if you put enough down that you won’t end up upside down. The problem is people are getting 84 month loans with interest, trading in an upside down…

It is a absolutely worth the premium. More powerful and efficient engine from 2012 on, better soft top system, updated interior from 2011 on, and they fixed most of the engineering related problems after 2008 including leaks and a terrible feeling intermediate steering shaft.

This would perfectly describe my used Audi as well.

As the owner of a Nissan Micra purchased for the sole reason of being the smallest car I could practically get away with I am hesitant to believe that without a real world test from different manufacturers. On paper, yes, it is less efficient than many compacts are rated (8.7 city 6.8 Hwy.) In the real world I’m…

I can’t be the only one that thinks this is a bit harsh. Emissions testing methods in Canada changed a couple years ago to a new five cycle test for all cars because many manufacturers were posting outright false claims of mileage. They were designing cars to pass tests and show results that didn’t translate to the…

Just picked up a Focus RS with opposed style wipers which would make the world right if they weren’t so terrible at doing the only job they have. It’s my first car to have them since I drove my parents sweet Lumina minivan.

I’m pretty sure that’s the one from Legendary Motorcar. Pretty sure one of the episodes featured it being driven on the track. http://www.legendarymotorcar.com/inventory/1995-porsche-911-gt2-evo-1450.aspx

My experience in the FRS left me with memories of a horribly firm ride, and the feeling of having what felt like more of a noise pedal than a gas pedal. The ST was a great all rounder and felt way faster than the FRS for real world driving.

A bit of spirited driving but definitely not abuse. I do question whether the tech has a weird foot twitch when pulling in and out of the bay though, I’ve never seen the need to rev that way in any manual I’ve driven. As long as the car didn’t have an extra 50 miles, the seat all out of whack, radio stations changed…

I have a ‘13 Golf TDI and the amount of compensation I’m offered should be the only thing driving my decision but it isn’t. Driving 40-50k km per year it was a financial decision to buy it and trade my gas guzzling Rubicon. The gas savings alone have saved me thousands for the last 3 years. The tough part is, it…

Any or all of those things could have prevented the crash. I rode for a few years without ever taking the MSF course without incident but did all the same things. I practiced emergency braking and counter steering in parking lots, read up on all the techniques for riding and for traffic management, as well as…

Crap doesn’t stop with the word Wrangler written on it. Both Jeeps (JKs) I owned had parking brakes so poorly designed that even after being “properly adjusted” at different dealerships they would still only slow down a roll on flat ground at best. They were completely useless on an incline. On the flip side, if left…

Same here - for me it’s as instinctual as putting on my seatbelt when I get in.

Even a couple of seconds stalled in traffic feels like forever. It felt like it took an hour in my Golf the first time I stalled trying to figure out how to restart it before I realized you have to turn the ignition to the off position first before it will restart.

Neutral: My wife buys her cars and I buy mine. Some salespeople need to understand this. We stopped into a Subaru dealership because they had her dream car in stock, which was not your typical “girl car” - she loves WRC, Gymkhana, and could probably outdrive me on any given day. She had been planning to buy a black…
