This is the sort of behavior one associates with ex-presidents, not law abiding Canadians.

In Europe the base Tonale has a 1470cc engine with half the power of the base Hornet. Strangely it isn’t available with a manual and there is a similarly powerful diesel too.

We are certainly limited by space. And running costs (although that is not as important since our bigger cars have small engines and the cost isn’t that different).

Long time driver, many different cars including the exact same V70 as used in this test. I have often passed the time driving at night by practicing all the interface functions without looking. After a short time in a car it’s always been possible. My newer cars with screens totally fail this test. As others have…

Unfortunately, screens are cheaper to develop and implement than buttons now and they can continue with the interior design without having to think much about control placement. Just let the UI weenies figure that part out. The result is shitty infotainment systems. 

“This totally fits the bill except for the two main things you stated...”

CT200H is a terrible, terrible recommendation for someone who wants a fun car. Those aren’t bad cars by any means, but it is literally just a Prius with a different badge on it. Interiors are very subpar vs other Lexus-badged models from its time period, and everything else is still a Prius. 

Manual only requirement basically wipes out like 98% of what’s available.

That Lexus is a TERRIBLE recommendation. There’s nothing fun or zippy about it. It’s a Prius in a fancy suit. 

They did have a sunroof option, I have one - with Recaro’s. Backup camera was 19's only.

Fiesta ST. Selling close to original MSRP now, but still under 20k. Fits the bill, though I’m not sure if they came with a sunroof. Mine didn’t, and I wouldn’t want one with a sunroof anyway.

I feel like you read what you wanted to hear.

better solution, Chicago loves speed/red cameras so much but for some reason there isn’t one there. Install some at this intersection and your suspension pedestrian bridge would self fund. 

Does not look like that is an intersection, so the red light’s sole purpose is for pedestrian crossing.

I very much doubt your modified Tiguan is as fun as a stock, purpose built performance sedan from the factory.

Laughs in $20k markup.

1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).

Certainly, although they could have differentiate it more (like 2008 v Mokka). I guess this the last one based on Fiat parts. From now on they will be based on Peugeot parts.

Government supply chain manipulation using tax credits is bad mojo for battery manufacturing. Encourages bad decisions. 

was hoping to see the BMW E30.
