The worst stretch in northern Indiana is the 2+ hour stretch on US31 between Indianapolis and south bend.

If you are complaining about driving through the Appalachians, clearly you haven’t tried to drive through northern Indiana.

This is a perfect mythbusters episode. The visual of some shitty little car getting a giant jet moving would be fantastic television

That’s great to hear, i actually had the V6 automatic. It had legendary pulley problems, glad to hear it hasn’t affected you. I also lost the rack and pinion, water pump, and upper and lower control arms cracked. All with less than 80k.

That was my first car, and a total lemon. One catastrophic failure after another starting at 70k miles. Sold it in 2003

That would be a different study called “what cars do people hand down to their kids themost often”

“As soon as I finished reading that, I hurled my laptop into the pool in a fit of rage. A butler immediately brought me another.”

I will sign that petition

There is a reason this era BMW 3 series can be had on craigslist for sub 5k all across the country...lots and lots of expensive repairs. My grandfather kept a 2002 325 since new and sold it 10 years later for $7000. It was low mileage and all the maintenance records. And there was a phone book of repairs. CP

they are more of a vestigial organ of the automotive world

I would be less likely to get carsick looking at something in my hands than something fixed above me but maybe I’m weird

It’s a Chrysler product with a junk transmission that has known issues, that’s a deal breaker for me.

The worst transmission I’ve ever encountered on a new vehicle. What’s weird is, I drove a jeep Cherokee and the transmission felt fine, but a Chrysler 200 transmission was the worst ever. They are both the same 9 speeds right?

The car is definitely cool as hell. Just not $37k cool

My question is, why not just be actual uber drivers and not turn the app on when dealing?

Mazda so badly needs to bring back their mazdaspeed marquee and refine it to be a luxury sport version of the Honda SI and they would sell a crap ton of them IMO

HOT TAKE ALERT

In my experience this isn’t true. Most people want to go 75-80 at the most regardless of speed limit. I am always shocked at the people all going under 80 when the speed limit hits 80

This website is far from the target market so it’s easy to forget what the average new car buyer looks like. You honestly can’t beat what you can get for the money in terms of features and space in a rogue or murano. Reliability is fine.

I think you are misunderstanding the role and effect of downforce in formula 1 racing regarding drag coefficients.
