Forget vans, forget crossovers, the wagons aren’t half bad ideas, but the real answer is the 2015+ Hyundai Sonata Eco. Marketed as a midsize sedan (classified as a full size by the epa) this sedan can be had in the color brown with a 7 speed dual clutch transmission. A 1.6L turbocharged unit (optional engine in the…
Engineers. If a single one of you ever had to wrench on what you built after said construct has been through the ringer, I think you’d all change your tune about whether or not it was designed properly or intelligently
Respectfully, there’s a shit load more variables that will determine how much power your engine makes. Air quality,air temperature, air density (altitude), and humidity all factor into how your engine is going to run. You will make more power in below freezing temperatures you’ll make more power in the midtown tunnel…
Personally, I’d rather deal with the stress for a few days instead of paying interest for years on hundreds to thousands of dollars that I could have saved with a bit more effort.
Don’t do stance. Look I respect anyone that will rebuild something but stancing the car is just dumb.
You can’t win a war against something that is made up of fanatics. It’s an unwinnable scenario, the more terrorists you kill the more you create. Sure they’ve claimed land, but once that’s all gone it’ll be just like every other terrorist organization. We will spend trillions of dollars trying to end them. We we kill…
We have the largest, best equipped, and most capable military; true. Pretty sure Germany believed that in the 1940s after they took most of Europe though. We are strong but we can still lose.
So now Toyota is giving the “scion treatment” to the Prius? Let’s be real it’s been over 2 decades since Toyota built anything properly sporty. A sports car to them is a tacked on body kit and sport badges. Maybe add in an extra bumper dent for good measure...
The system works for brand new stuff, once the car has a few months under its belt on the road, stuff doesn’t always come apart easily. Bolts rust, snap, and end up making you take a LOT of extra steps to do the job right and this is where the issue with warranty times comes into play. Ford might say it takes 6 hours…
You can work on any modern car. My 2016 fusion has a “sealed” transmission. No dipstick, and supposedly I’m supposed to take it to ford to have the fluid and filter services. I can buy the filter online. There is a drain bolt on the bottom and the fill level is assessed by a peep hole on the side of the transmission.…
In that case you shouldn’t have bought an FCA product?
A 15 year old Mercedes with sheet metal that screams I am American retro? Mmmmm pass.
As if a Honda dealer would negotiate price on an si.
Huh, a car no one asked BMW to make, that doesn’t fit at all with the rest of BMWs target audience isn’t selling well? Also have you seen the tires? It’s a narrow ass rubber band wrapped on 20" rim it looks disgusting.
You’re backwards and I refuse to apologize. I have no idea why I was convinced the hound was Gregor.
Actually a mechanically timed engine would be a better cadidate for start/stop. Since everything is timed off of the crankshaft rotating, it can fire up in less than one full revolution. An electronically timed engine uses sensors to determine fuel injection, spark etc so you have to make at least one (sometimes two)…
To be fair though, find me a v8 powered rwd sedan in the sub $5000 category that isn’t a panther platform fomoco product. Sure they are soft handling heavy ass pigs with a v8 with shockingly low output figures for the displacement. But if you want a rwd sedan with a v8 on a budget that will run like a top for a half…
Gregor clegane= the hound
I’ve never understood this choice, sure it’s a good car, but good is the enemy of great. There are better driving subcompacts in the Mazda2 and the Fiesta, there are more spacious subcompacts like the Hyundai Accent hatch, and there are more fuel efficient one like a Prius C. Why would someone choose a car that checks…
Based on the Tucson? So it’s unibody and front wheel drive? It isn’t a truck.
