Uh, what?

Really? Because a brand new 2016 Honda Fit is $15,890 if you pay full sticker.

Was it another Mustang?

Uh, what? 1976 was 40 years ago. I had 80s era Civics with over 225,000 miles on them that didn’t use nearly that much oil. I’ve got a 2005 Ram diesel -bought new- that I just put the first top off quart of oil into, ever, at 120,000 miles with 10k oil change intervals. A quart per thousand miles is unacceptable on…

It is amazing (and kind of pathetic, honestly) to see your attempts to justify Trump’s public sexual assault of a total stranger he just met. With that answer, I seriously doubt you were old enough to comprehend sexual harassment in the 1980s, or even alive then. I was.

I thought that too. Good catch

Women who are victims of sexual assault -especially victims of the famous, rich and powerful - are often reluctant to come forward because they’ll likely be harassed by lots of assholes. Like Fox News anchor Lou Dobbs, who just doxxed Trump’s victims’ home address and phone number on his Twitter feed to tens of…

Considering the rest of the bodywork is a single sheet of flat metal? Seems to fit the theme of lazy, cheap and awkward, no?

To make your new car buying experience as quick as possible you can use a service like Costco’s car buying service, or Truecar, etc. - you won’t get the absolute best deal possible but you’ll probably get a decent price with a minimal amount of sales shenanigans from the dealership. Just be sure to line up your own…

Or -

Good article. That describes my experiences with buyers, too. The wealthier clients want the research done for them (which I do) and an executive summary. They then pick out exactly what they want and try to get the process done as quickly as possible on their terms. Saving a few hundred bucks isn’t that important and…

I would buy one of those, to replace my ‘13 Fit Sport - which is an awesome car but it needs. moar. power. and a taller top gear.

Assuming you’re buying a normal (and reliable) car, the cheapest way to own over the long term is often to buy new on a low interest loan, and keep the car for at least 10 years. You only pay sales tax once, you only take steep depreciation for the first three years, there’s no out of pocket repair expenses for 3…

CP all the way. Non-Si models are nothing special and the insanely complex maze of 30 year old vacuum lines, solenoids, plastic vac valves and tees under the hood is a true nightmare when the car develops intermittent driveability issues.

I’d love to see a performance Cruze hatch too, but I doubt GM will do it because the sales volumes for performance hatches are pretty low these days. IIRC, even Subaru canceled the WRX hatch this time around, right? Personally, I’d buy a Fit Si in a heartbeat (to replace my current Fit Sport, which I bought new). The…

There’s a reason Vipers had by far the industry-wide highest-dollar accident insurance claims of any car - for years running. People who drive them without care or respect crashed them, and they crashed them *BIG*. Like ten times the average loss big.

See: my reply to “British standard motors”

Hey, a few of them were decent; even a broken clock is right twice a day. I made a good living fixing them in my shop for 7 years. It was just depressing telling the same owners that the coil pack/check engine light/oil pan/glovebox/window regulator/sunroof sunshade/headlight/wheel bearing/splash shield/seat release…

Ah, good call!

The most remarkable thing to me about the Mk4 Jetta (and all VWs of that time, we had a new 2000 GTI VR6) was that VW built a car with the appearance of quality without *actually building a quality car*. Really nice interior design, high quality feeling and looking soft touch plastics, switches, seats, finishes and…
