This. Easily an electrical gremlin, something similar caused crank/no-start on our ‘05 V50 which, after being towed to our indie, started immediately first try. Gotta love the ‘quality’ of these P1 cars. 

A Canadian on Oppositelock owned a 2014 Kia Forte with no A/C for quite some time. 

Also if you keep your minivan forever like my parents did eventually it becomes your small beater truck. With all the seats out I’ll borrow it to haul furniture, my dad uses it to bring in manure for the yard, and he’s even moved my grandmothers’ entire apartment in a couple trips with that thing. Never underestimate…

It’s gotten SO much worse. Look at how the Odyssey (gen3) and Sienna (gen2) used to be:

P2 Volvos and their flap handles.

Easy. They threw away all their brand equity by making years of terrible sedans that forced people to the Japanese (see: my grandparents, my other grandparents, my roommates parents, etc.) leaving them with a rental-only market share that doesn’t net them fat margins because rental companies only buy low-trim models…

Considering the Petersen just got in a pristine 2nd gen Neon, perhaps they should buy this and find a Cavalier to have the full set.

The benefit of buying a Tesla is that they are by far the most produced EV in the USA, so replacement parts for Telsas will be plentiful.

James May’s Cars of the People is one of the best. Reminds me of Clarkson’s Car Years from back in the ‘90s.

Agreed. This is all just change for change’s sake, doesn’t improve or fix anything that was wrong with the original.

People say the Mirage but no one mentioned the ASX/Outlander Sport?

Next month, Southwest may even introduce carry-on bag fees!

Yep, I wonder if this is why we got screwed over with bad gas at the local Rotten Robbie circa 2014-2015. After that we went Chevron/Costco only.

omg it’s the Queensland logo

Outlander PHEV? Was Drive.au’s ‘Best Medium Hybrid CUV’ of last year and guaranteed to break down 100% less than an Italian-made Dodge.

Can the Elíasson even be driven? If it’s not able to be ‘car’, it’s disqualified as at that point it’s only ‘art’.

Who is forgetting the Sentra? It’s just a baby Altima, equally as common as its bigger brother here in Southern Arizona and driven just as badly. Somehow the decade-old third gen Murano didn’t make the list? Will there ever be a fourth gen?

Wait, the Express had a diesel I4 for a bit? TIL

But not a cheaper Land Rover alternative—one that looked like a Land Rover, but had none of the ability, just like a modern CUV. I hear you about the idea of ‘predict’ vs ‘predate’ though; I guess that makes the unibody XJ Jeep Cherokee the first as it paved the way for the RAV4 and CR-V that came right after?

What’s left of Daewoo, now called GM Korea. Still the same plant site that Daewoo opened in 1991. Also, the Daewoo brand was not phased out in South Korea until 2011, so that’s only 13 years. Considering Daewoo always used GM parts anyway and was a GM-owned brand for about a decade before its discontinuation, the…
