It’s the same for road signs. People are pathetic.

(my usual drive into work is about 15 flights of stairs, according to my fitbit),

That generation Grand Cherokee looks a lot prettier from the underside, oddly enough. :P

I’m impressed, guys, I’m impressed.

I guess he learned the hard way that if you’re going to take a joyride in someone else’s car don’t do it in a car that is at its happiest state on fire.

The 3's visibility is probably about par for its class these days. The A-pillars are raked back which isn’t great for forward-side visibility, but I don’t think the over-the-left-shoulder view is that bad. Though I don’t have one personally (my sister does) so I may not be remembering it as well as I could.

Although I don’t really like that shade of green, it’s a very clean build. And yeah, the stock wheels on that ‘08 are boring, but at least they aren’t barf-worthy. :P

Our recycling service says to keep them on so they make it through the sorting machine.

I don’t know how it factors in, but I imagine they can make money on the methane that comes from a landfill. Of course that is if they are actually capturing it in your local landfills.

It’s too bad the wheels are so heinous on that Falcon.

The ride feels firm but compliant if you ask me. Loud? Sort of, but that’s what the radio is for. Tinny? Never found that to be the case. I’m extremely impressed by how solid the doors are. Visibility? Par for the course among hatchbacks these days. Reliability? Excellent according to TrueDelta.

Resale seems to be pretty good from what I’ve seen. My sister’s 2014 was like $18k and she got it in October of last year. It’s not that loaded up, either.

At least you don’t have only the option of AT&T DSL that tops out at 6 Mbps down, 0.5 Mbps up (what we have), or Mediacom - one of the worst cable companies in the U.S. Not only do they lock you into a contract for 2 years, they also have terrible customer service and are down a lot of the time in our neck of the…

ICE CAR! ICE CAR! ICE CAR! ICE CAR!!!!

One unfortunate thing about the Forte5 is that the fuel economy sucks compared to cars like the Focus and Mazda 3 hatchbacks.

I see now that you said “IRS guts”. My bad.

The Durango has IRS and so does the Explorer. The previous gen Explorer had IRS as well and could tow up to 7,300 pounds. My guess is that they don’t think anyone will tow much with it so they didn’t bother equipping it in a way that it could tow more.

The Q3 has less room than a Mazda 3 in the back.

I like it, especially the rear, but I can’t stand how the rear of the hood is so much higher than the front side-window. This seems to be a thing in many modern cars, and I realize there are safety standards that deal with the hood, but it seems to really be accentuated in this car.
