I know they’re just problematic old gits (as am I) but I still think there’s some great entertainment value in their dicking about. They drive cars in stupid scenarios in places in the world I’ll probably never even be able to visit and I cannot get enough of it. They just tinker around with the format slightly (by…

Hmm, I’m not sure I understand the logic behind this one. Given the next gen Qashqai (and Juke for that matter) have already been developed and sell well in Europe and other markets, surely the costs associated with bringing it to North America would be fairly minimal. This is still one of the hottest segments in the…

I’m not sure the ‘discount’ is really worth anything when there’s 5-10k worth of ‘market adjustment’ added ?

No. Honestly i’d pick a Prius or a Camry hybrid over this - both have better fuel economy, will outlive us all and actually be okay to live with - they’re practical and will retain their value and will even continue to function perfectly fine, albeit uneconomically even in the rare times the battery does actually…

I’m also a Presidents Circle member with Hertz (it’s fairly easy to get btw - most fancier credit cards have it as a benefit) but Hertz was always my usual go-to for rental including for months at a time when I first moved to the US. I will say that Hertz back office admin is a total and utter mess and has been for…

Good luck folks! Can’t wait to see what’s next

I’ve been a Nissan hater for a LONG time, ever since I got stuck having to rent Altima after Altima when I first moved to the US. But I kinda feel like maaaybe, just maaaaaybe they’re turning a corner? - The new Sentra actually doesn’t look like the shitbox it really is, the SUV’s are improving and they’re finally…

Please, for the love of god can someone please tell me what is left to open? I live in the People’s Republic of California and absolutely everything is open and has been for over a year. What ‘freedom’ are these folks so upset is being infringed upon exactly?

Mine is black (with the solar roof) and 1 year in with SoCal sunshine i’ve not noticed any issues but I have indeed also seen some with problems - especially the red and I know that Kia had an issue with a bunch of the paint colors on the Stinger. 

Ugh where does this end? I know the bigger Jeep models are already well into 6 figures but $60k for a Grand Cherokee. Next year that’s $62k. Then $65k, onwards to $70k. This is all before dealer mark up’s too. Trucks are already at that level. WHO IS BUYING THESE!? I’m genuinely confused. I live in a household with 2…

The GV80 is the correct recommendation but the Clarity is not. Despite it’s utility it’s really quite a hideous thing. I’d stick with the Hyundai family though - I have a 2021 Sonata Hybrid in Limited trim. It’s ridiculously comfy, has excellent tech, I get 48mpg all day long and it’s good value.

I like the Niro. I test drove an EV back in May as potential commuter. The lease was insanely cheap - barely any money down and <$100 a month was easily the cheapest way to commute to work. The dealer was slimy and gross as Kia dealers always seem to be but I was very tempted. Only reason I didn’t is work from home…

I’d keep the 911, revise down the budget and buy the newest/nicest E550 Coupe you decide to set your budget at. You’ve got a great sports car for the weekends, a daily driver bike and a big comfy grant tourer that eats up miles in a Merc.

Is it just me feeling like Lexus has lost it’s way a bit? In fact all of the asian luxury brands are struggling to make an impact. This car seems very ‘meh’ to me. I fully realise I am not the target market (at least for a new one) but there’s really not much to get excited about here. At least with an S class there…

This is worrying for me as an owner of a 2021 Sonata Hybrid. After 7500 miles, there’s an issue with the rear speakers not functioning and weird other electrical gremlins. I love the rest of the car. It’s comfy, looks awesome, packed with tech and i’m getting 49mpg in LA traffic. Awesome. But - it does feel like it’s…

y’know what they say about assuming....it’s a CVT and whilst I know CVT’s have made *significant* improvements recently, it’s still going to be working extra hard if you’re loading this thing up with 7 people, their stuff AND towing 2000 lbs. CVT’s are perfectly fine for a Civic or a Prius, but I get real nervous…

Nope nope nope. Sorry others have said it too but 12 inches is a BIG difference in nearly every area (ahem) but certainly in car terms. 12 inches difference in a sedan moves the car from compact to full size. They’re just in different leagues - and that’s fine. But load this thing up with 7 actual people and all their…

Yes. Yes you are Lada

I hate it. 

Just be boring and pay the extra for a Civic SI.
