Came here to see how long it took for someone to answer with the obvious - The Mazda CX-50. Pleased it was first comment. Carry on, people.

I Hate My Subaru! What Car Should I Buy?

It’s a Racing Thing (tm).

I had a Chevy dealer attempt to charge $1200 for dealer prep. After digging at them they revelaed this included a pin stripe down the side of the car and nitrogen in the tires.....that already came from the factory with nitrogen in them....which is a scam in itself. They literally tried to scam the scam and cover it…

It’s amazing how NADA, dealer groups, (and probably some politicians) are upset because they really want to preserve their “right” to lie and cheat dollars out of the consumers’ pocket.

I think it’s less about enforcement than it is about liability. Dealerships that pull these scams would now be breaking a specific law so could more easily be fined or sued. It’s a deterrent.

They can’t all be Ferrari. 

Interest rates on new car loans seem to be improving (and manufacturers are starting to offer incentives for lower rate loans).

And you become a hot girl when you own one. Win-win.

Conversely, our 2017 XC90 T8 was riddled with squeaks, battery issues, and random screen reboots. I loved driving the car (still the comfiest seats and best sound system of any car I’ve owned), but it was in for warranty work every other month.

You must have a lot of time on your hands if you can bear dealing with unexpected minor and major issues on NEW cars. Reliability does matter. Time taken out of my day(s) to take a car to a dealer to get something fixed that shouldn’t have been a problem to begin with is a major inconvenience. I could be doing other…

Secondary trouble area is the average owner of said Wrangler.

Anecdote is not data.

Unforunately given the way things are going you might need the infotainment system to so something like put the vehicle in gear.

I rented a late model Jetta a couple years ago and had to pull over to adjust the dash lighting brightness, because it was controlled by the infotainment system, and you had to be in park to…
