Modern for when? 1980? The sport mode is especially terrible. 

Did they update the interior? Those graphics on the digital gauges seriously date this car. I would rather have regular analog gauges instead of 80's inspired digital.

“You guys hated how ‘youthful’ the last Civic looked, so we redesigned it and now it’s a Jetta!” -Honda, probably.
Also, the last Civic was praised for keeping it’s infotainment in the dash, so of course they ripped that out and stuck a tablet way high up, just like everyone else. So creative.

What about the regular AirPods (non-Pro)? I have a set and so does my spouse, and after the iOS 14 upgrade, they have been randomly crackling, sounding staticky, and shutting off.

A washable K&N filter with a 10 year warranty cost the same as what the dealership wanted to charge for a paper one. So I went with K&N.  

We did get the 140S... it was called the Cadillac ELR.

Is it just me or does the fuel gauge needle look off center? It must be something about the camera angle.

Common sense? Good luck with that. Growing up I thought it was incredible that they had to post a sign next to the freeway entrance that horses, bikes, and pedestrians are not to use the freeway. Until I grew up and realized why every single thing has a warning label: people don’t use their brains. Then they get a

I have had a lot of great cars that I traded or sold for silly reasons. Top three I wish I had back: 2012 MX-5 Sport, 1997 4Runner SR5 Manual, 2011 4Runner SR5.

The Arcimoto website says the range is 102 miles city, 66 miles at 55 mph, 32 miles at 70 mph. Based on that, I think a Zero Motorcycles SR is a better option. Or one of the cars that featherlite mentioned.

I was also disappointed that the Mid package can’t be had with a manual on the Big Bend.

My grandpa had a Lincoln Mark VII with this, and I thought it was pretty neat back then. But the only use was that we could go out and let the hot air out of the car while we waited for the adults to come out of church.

And! And! And! Can Doug start a sentence with a different word?

True! I live in Ohio and moving might be an option in the next few years.

My first car. It is a Datsun 260Z that is sitting in my grandpa’s barn. The goal is to own a house with a big enough garage to restore it, and the sky might turn into the limit once I start. But I’m a millennial and buying property is difficult these days.

Exactly. The only option that is removed with the manual is adaptive cruise, which I would miss but isn’t a deal breaker. The 2020 Civic Type R does have adaptive cruise with the manual, though...

I looked for one too, but none were available at the time. I am currently trying to import the Canada spec hitch (for a bike rack) and sport exhaust — available only in Canada, of course.

I’m also super excited about the ID.Buzz!

This has frustrated me for a long time as well. I have an Elantra GT Sport, and I wanted a manual, but I also wanted the pano roof. You have to get the DCT to get the pano roof in the USA. However, in Canada, they offered the roof, heated steering wheel, and red seat belts with the manual. Hyundai Canada gets better
