I’m 6ft2, husband is 6ft4 - the only that is reasonably decent for fit is the BMW 2 series cabrio but that’s pushing the limits for ‘small’ 

Yeah I’ve just traded an incredibly boring Highlander for an equally boring Sonata Hybrid for commuting duties in Los Angeles and I am *so* happy I did so! 18.9mpg to 48mpg, with CA gas prices? at 1200 miles a month or so.....it’s saving me a fortune. 

New driver, hilly city, manual? Uhmmm this sounds like it’s going to be interesting.

wait wait wait the *average* mileage on an older rental unit is 82k miles!? that’s insane. I’ve grumbled before about being given a 40k mile Malibu that very much showed every single one of those miles was hard one. I’m surprised Nissan isn’t begging them all to take their shitboxes off their hands to increase sales -…

Good! If it wasn’t going to happen under a Biden admin, it’d never happen. Big, long term projects like this are how differences are made. It would be fantastic if there were bigger tax advantages to businesses going electric too - the industry just needs to hurry up with heavy EV and PHEV trucks for people to…

I actually like the Tiguan - it’s packaged well and has the perception of quality. The tiny 3rd row is ideal for the couple of times a year where we need to take an additional one or two people a short distance. The issue is the engine. Whilst 180hp sounds okay and its similar to competitors, I just couldn’t live with…

I was today years old when I learnt you can start a car via USB slot. 

I recently leased a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid in Limited trim. In SoCal this is weirdly a rare car for some reason with most dealers only have a couple in inventory. Given my past experience with Kia/Hyundai dealers, I was nervous to start the task. Following the rules of Leasehackr, I emailed every local dealer for a…

I’m not really sure what the idea was with the pictures but it was certainly........a choice. I think for other reviews it would be good have pictures of the interior as a whole, not just close up snapshots. Personally, I care about the layout, how much space is in the 2nd and 3rd row. How easy is it to get in and out…

I’d save a bunch of that budget and buy a slightly used CPO Stinger GT - it’s not a proper sedan so it counts as switching it up a bit! 

Are they going to do a 4xe version of this too? -  I think Jeep will continue being Stellantis’ cash cow for the forseeable. 

Škoda has to be one of the best at packaging cars surely? their entire line up is consistently full of both little details that make driving them more convenient, easier/simple AND big details like cargo space.

this is what? the 15th ‘Holy Grail’ we’ve seen now? 

2006 Toyota Aygo 3 door. 67hp of absolute joy. I loved that damn thing. I leased it for basically nothing, it cost me basically nothing for 3 years and honestly saved my finances when I was in college and reeling from 3 successive Ford mistakes. Stupidly swapped it in for an Audi after I graduated which was a terrible…

Oh that’s a good point, I wasnt sure if that’d be in budget but looks like there are a few. Im astonished at how well those things keep value.

I dont understand the logic of not having this in the US market? Americans like CUVs. Americans like fast cars. Americans are increasingly liking EVs. Americans are increasingly liking fast EVs. It seems like a mistake not to bring it here - to at least pretend to compete with the Model Y. 

is it just me struggling to see this as a ‘wagon’ - I know we’ve gone all swoopy with wagons but even swoopy Audi/Volvo/Mercs are still very clearly wagons. This just seems like a hatchback with an extra fat ass? I know it’s different and bigger in person but to me it just looks like a GTI size in the pics.

I would go with the other suggestions to try and find the nicest Boxster you can find for the budget - a Porsche as their final car is pretty epic, even if it is the lowly but still excellent Boxster. If dependable luxury is more a thing then a Lexus IS250 IC

Toyota knows how to do business. They think long-term. Build bread and butter cars that everyone loves because they can rely on them to move their family from point A to point B in the most economical and comfortable way possible. That gives a little freedom to develop the fun stuff like Supra and the Yaris GR. They…
