Are the grilles similar? Yes.

They look literally nothing alike, other than being a hatchback. Can we please all stop this?

You clearly have a very high level of bias - which is completly wrong on this car - the build quality AND reliability is one of, if not THE highest in its class -its also the only one built in the US (most are built in Mexico).

Ha ha ha ha - Shirley you jest?

I like it!

The new one makes the old one looks dated although the headlights look better in the old Sonic for sure.

40 highway wasn’t great?

Looks nicer than the Toyota products and they managed to not over-do it!

This is not terrible:

I actually....quite like that?

lol, right? Its funny, because I think we all felt that way until you get a sharp kick in the nuts and brought down a peg or two.

The only times I put my car into N is when I’m tired of keeping my foot pressed against the brake pedal at a stoplight and too lazy to put it all the way into P and back into D.

They would need to have a reasonable expectation of privacy for that to apply. You can record conversations between 2 people in a public or semi-public place with no issue if there is not “an objectively reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or overhearing the conversation”.

Yes - number 4 is very bunk. While the video author occasionally has some decent videos, some of the stuff is VERY grasping. Just like that one. Sure, it adds wear - but the transmission shifting adds wear. Putting it into gear adds wear. putting it into park adds wear.

In neutral, the torque converter is not spinning at any remarkable speed (if at all). This is why there’s the slightest bit of “lag” when shifting from P/N to R/D as the pump has to build pressure for…

You engine actually warms up much quicker when driving in gear (gently), not idling.

Keeping the car in drive with your foot on the brake is basically asking the car to move and then not letting it. If you watch the temperature of your torque converter it rises quite significantly when you’re doing this. Personally I tend to put my car in neutral while I’m waiting, especially if it’s going to be for a…

#4 - please elaborate.

There should be a special state law that says if you make a delivery guy deliver without tipping him in the middle of a storm, he should legally be able to throw you down the stairs. The higher up you live, the more steps he gets to use.

I’ve been in sales for 20 years and I still fail to understand why salespeople or companies hide from their customers when they have bad news; it only makes the customer angrier. Things happen. That’s life. But if your customer has to contact you regarding a deviation from the expected timeline, you’ve failed. Most of…
