You can’t buy what they won’t build. 

It’s a very meh sedan. That’s what’s ‘wrong’ with it. It just can’t live up to the name they’ve slapped on it. 

The integra was not. It’s the same thing as the new Blazer, which is a perfectly acceptable crossover, it just can’t live up to the name. 

Don’t level 3 systems still require a human to be able to take control at a moment’s notice? If the system says “YOU NEED TO DRIVE NOW” you have to be able to take over. You can take your eyes off the road, but if the system needs you, you still have to be ready to respond.

What you’re describing as the jump to level

It’s a bit maddening they won’t bring it to the US. I understand not wanting to bring over the diesel in it, but they could put in the 2.7L V6 out of the Edge ST. If you want to go really crazy it’s been shown that the Coyote actually fits VERY well in the Ranger’s engine bay. Now, THAT would be something.

The issue isn’t the cars, it’s that right now Tesla has the only viable charging network. Trying to road trip other EVs means you have to use a hodge-podge of out of the way and non-standardized chargers and hope for the best. 

This article wouldn’t have been a thing if he was driving a Tesla. Supercharger stations have become common enough to avoid this. Generic charging stations are still years behind sadly. So while for your everyday around townage other EVs are fine, Tesla is still the only one you’d want to go road-tripping in. The

I cannot put into words just how sick I am of Traitor Joe. 

This is why there’s still no viable competitor to Tesla yet 

It’s neat, but I wouldn’t want to own it, especially not at that price. 

Similar story over on the Ranger5G forums. 

Or perhaps I’ll just disable the feature permanently with Forscan.

I saw a mint, low mileage 2001 neon this week when I was getting gas, and was absolutely floored. It was probably the nicest one in the midwest. I haven’t seen one that didn’t have rust or faded headlights in so long. 

Never pay full price for either OnStar or satellite radio. If you call and threaten to cancel the service they’ll almost always be like “Oh we’d hate to see you go, tell you what, how about we give you 6 months of service for the price of two”

Auto Start/Stop

Please. No thank you. I cannot get used to the car stalling out every time you stop at a red light. It’s too unsettling. 

The ONE good thing about OnStar was that it could sense if your vehicle was in an accident and automatically call for help.

I see people say this all the time, I’ve never been in any vehicle where I didn’t have to take my eyes off the road to operate any buttons in the center stack. Ever. 

The one feature, living in ohio, that my Ranger doesn’t have that I desperately wish it had was a heated steering wheel. I’m glad it at least has heated seats but gripping a nice warm wheel after getting in from the frozen tundra is just the nicest thing. Honestly, I wish every touch surface was heated. Wheel,

That’s actually what EVERYONE should be doing. It’s called zipper merge. The real assholes are the ones who get over 2 miles early causing congestion for everyone. 

My driving instructor in Ohio in the early 2000's when I had my temps instructed our entire class “The left lane on the highway is for through traffic, the right lane is for entering and exiting only, never cruise in the right lane”

You left out the bit where it prefers to kill children and if it is leaching life from a child its flame will be brighter
