No one is debating whether a "warmed up" car runs better than a cold one. The debate is over what method to use to bring your car up to optimal operating temperature. Idling is one method. Driving is another. On extremely cold days (like today), I let it idle for a minute or two to let the oil circulate (as you note)…

I agree. "Warming up the car" is a leftover practice from when most cars had carburetors. Now, you're just wasting fuel.

I'd rather have a car that has decent visibility - especially if said "car" is a three-wheeled lightweight (see "easily crushable"). But yeah, I should keep my opinions to myself, right? The Internet is for serious business.

I sat in one of their models before and I have to say - I wanted to like, I really did, but even at <7k, I'd shop for something else. Visibility is a nightmare. The photos don't really show it, but the A pillars are massive and let's face it, driving on the highway isn't going to be enjoyable. As a commuter vehicle,…

Here's a concept wedge with added practicality - built in shopping basket! I saw this (and the Lancia) at the Dream Cars exhibit in Atlanta - definitely one of the best car shows I've been to.

Insurance costs aren't necessarily higher on luxury cars. Case in point: my Audi A3 (which, to be fair, is on the low-side of "luxury" cars) has lower insurance costs than either the VW GTI or Mazda3.

That's a house alright.

I agree, though I do find that he does try to insert lame attempts at humor in the web series. For instance, in the piece covering the Mercedes 600, he jokes, "The sunroof is so big ... it's like you can fit the whole SUN in here." I know the majority of his shows are focused on the cars, but when he does try to…

And that's why you never go to the dealer. Do it yourself or find an independent shop. And honestly, $450 for a major service interval is cheap for any VAG vehicle.

I rarely use taxis, but I will never use Uber - at least where I live (Tuscaloosa). They have had nothing but problems since they launched here. Case in point: http://www.al.com/news/tuscaloos…

Or let me put it this way: VW and Audi, they're not in the enthousiasts market.

I remember being inside a new Jetta for the first time and thinking "this is not up to par - not even close."

Sit inside a GTI and then sit inside an A3 (hatch). Not at all the same, but similar in so many ways. It's the small differences that add up to a much different experience.

It's a wagon for people who don't like wagons.

Not impressive by any means, but it's headed in the right direction, as opposed to the hideously proportioned 500L.

This is why I like you.

Audi's current lineup looks almost entirely indistinguishable– especially the sedans. Corporate design language is one thing, but there's a problem when from a distance, it's impossible to distinguish a $30k A3 from an $80k A8.

Men be all like, "Hey women don't know jack shit about cars." And then they be like, "Hey why won't women notice my fancy-dancy car?"

Sure, the MKIV has a few issues, but how in the world did it rank higher than the supposedly god-awful original Audi Allorad, which didn't even make the list?
