    As many on this thread, I’ve been dreaming of another WRX STI Hatchback with the same or a more refined engine and three pedals but it’s not looking remotely likely. So - I went another direction, now on my second VW Golf R - the full monster. I have to say that, despite the Subaru drive system missing, these are

    The best Prius is Previous.

    Not cool.

    Could mean other things as well..

    I understand getting your heart set on something significant and having it not go as hoped. But honestly, things happen all the time that we have no control over. Getting so wound up that an unexpected change creates complete breakdowns or no ideas about how to move forward in life tells me that far too much

    Making dumb financial choices is fully on the person making those choices but we have a much bigger problem in this Country. We don’t educate our kids about how to approach, utilize and manage money while they are still too young to borrow. Remember “Home Economics”? It usually covered basics like this, albeit,

    This is an interesting set of comments. I think it really comes down to the fact that we are ending the period when large, powerful gas engines will be available in ANY car so when something like the LC500 shows up again, many of us who grieve the loss of these machines take a serious look. A second or third look. I’m

    I wonder if you need to drop the engine to service it. Not a whole lot of space in that engine compartment for the standard 4cyl but quadruple it and it gets a bit tight.

    When it was initially shown to the public, the Cadillac 16 was on the US car show circuit. I saw and sat in one at the SF show that year. Still believe it’s one of the most stunning vehicles I’ve seen from a domestic auto designer in my lifetime. Hip, slick, and very cool.

    Absolutely! No Audi products belong on this list. Still the best car I’ve ever owned. 

    Undoubtedly, anything made with a Jeep logo. They’re often used by rental companies and every time I’ve had one, it has been shocking how bad the whole thing was. Ergonomically, mechanically, fit and finish - pure crap.

    My 2011 Audi A4 Avant without doubt. The fit and finish, the handling, the looks and that sound system. Prior to that it had to be the 1992 Nissan Maxima five speed.

    Audi Avant either A6 or A4 “Allroad) should offer three pedals. RS6 does but it’s barely affordable unless you want to live in it.

    Bad show! Have a heart, for G-d’s sake. If they demand repayment, the management team making that decision becomes jobless. There’s a solution. If this happens, I, for one, will never purchase another Honda product.

    It boggles the mind. Unless, of course, we expect that our law enforcement folks are vetted sufficiently to determine if they even have the common sense required to do the job in the first place. This seems to prove that they don’t. As I look at all that open space where this happened, infinite options for parking the

    It gives me great pleasure to witness the best laid plans of the rich and entitled go sideways. As others have suggested, there are many other ways for Jeff to get his new toy, ways that don’t affect communities or their history. Find one, Jeff. Maybe he should sign up for Amazon Prime?

    Found and bought a used 2008 VW R32 from a local dealership. 40k. on the odometer. Car was stated to be accident-free and fully maintained prior to resale. Carfax showed no problems. When attempting to use the windshield washers about a week after purchase, I found that the entire system was missing from the car and

    I own a 2018 Golf “R”. Top of their line vehicle but the infotainment system is awful. Not intuitive. Clumsy to control and frequent hiccups while operating. The navigation performance is sub-par. My 2011 Audi had a significantly better system despite being seven years older. Sound quality is another important factor.

    Audi A4 sedan or wagon. ‘10-’11. Exceptional in snow, great on mileage, fun to drive and reliable if maintained properly. Mine were wagons but the model isn’t important. Actually, saw a consistent 48 mpg for an afternoon cross country, likely due to eight gears. That’s high for a hybrid and his was a gas engine.

    As A Golf R owner, I have to agree that there are enough disappointments to outweigh the phenomenal drive quality. It’s scary fast, welll balanced and handles like a dream. But for the top end VW product, the infotainment system is a copout and messy. My 2011 Audi A4 which was not the top of their line had a far
