There is a 2nd gen Cavalier wagon that is someone’s daily driver in my neighborhood. I see plenty of 3rd gen Cavaliers, usually tan in color, around here and I always wonder how they are still running. I agree though, that I still see more PTs than Cavaliers.

I’m right at the age where I remember these being around, but not old enough to have driven them. My grandpa had a late 80s Lincoln Mark VII which was cool, comfortable and fast. The air suspension was always broken. The closest thing my parents ever had to a comfy cruiser was a 1994 Chrysler New Yorker (purple with

Someone read your article!

Ohio lets you do this for free on their website:

I understand your point, but the gauges are arguably the most looked at part of the car for the driver. I would much prefer to look at the MX-5 gauges than this. 

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.

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...
