I hope you didn't wind up buying it. Those 1.4Ls have alarmingly-high turbo failure rates.

Honda salesguy should have described it as “zoom-zoom”. Then the questioner would have known to go to the Mazda dealership.

Re: #1: Honda sales guy is wrong on multiple levels.

Only the Model 3 doesn’t have an OBDII port (of the production models, anyway).

Oh, that’s right. That’s so dumb.

Please chronicle the resulting insurance claim against the Bummer owner and what his insurance opts to do to fix the car.

Why does it look like it has the face of an xt6 with a shrunken grille and Chevy badge? Oh, wait, it’s gm. Cannibalizing higher brands to make the lesser brands seem better is one of their best things.

Oh, so we’re finally catching up to (and perhaps surpassing) Nokia’s 808 PureView and Lumia 1020 (which I still own and love, but haven’t daily-carried in years)? Do these newest releases have physical OIS or that digital crap which is actually cropping?

And just a few years later, Chrysler debuted the K-car-based minivans.

Yeah, but they’ve had like, what, nearly 20 years to get the Challenger sorted out? That’s what it feels like, anyway.

Ha! No. Especially the flimsy-paneled crosstrek. Yikes.

Oh, if that was the casting, it would be quote a good omen for the series.

Volvo has available cloth, and even have PLAID inserts.
