2012-14 Civic. Has everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Has a big automatic shifter, actual knobs for temp/radio. And the small screen doubles as a reversing camera. Get in, turn the key, and drive. It’s also what my 90 year old grandmother drives.

These were $65k new in 1995. That’s a chunk of change today, and equivalent to over $125k today. No wonder the Japanese sports car market died overnight in the mid ‘90s.

I didn’t like the Huayra when it came out because the Zonda was such a different car to it. It looked like a blob because aero was so important, and it went the turbo/automatic route. I’ve grown to like it over the past decade, and I think I’ll take a similar approach with this.

That part of La Brea is like a freeway of sorts. Very wide with a long down hill portion culminating at a red light at Slauson. LA’s very spread out, this part isn’t like Downtown where there’s red lights every block.

According to the sellers comments on BaT, he has a 110 mile round trip to work, and that he also has a 2005 Ford GT with 140,000 miles for bad weather days!

I agree to a point, but when it comes to something like a 2dr manual sports coupe, you pretty much know what you want when you see it. Whether it’s a V8 ponycar, Cayman, or a Supra / Z. Not that I can afford any of them!

I’m not even the target demographic for one of these, but in today’s world of overpriced cars, $60k for a nicely equipped manual Supra doesn’t sound like a bad deal. It’s not like they’re going to depreciate.

15 mpg in this type of hi-po car doesn’t bother me. Sure, maybe a handful will be daily drivers, but I’m more concerned about the truck loads of HD trucks that are both gas guzzler exempt, and sell hand over fist.

My father, who commutes into Boston, bought a Carbon Black (dark blue) M550i last year. He traded in an F10 550i M Sport for it. The “old” 445 hp engine felt plenty quick, the new one with 523 hp really presses you into your seat, but that’s probably the extra 75 lb-ft torque, not the hp increase. In fact, it’s got…

I daily a 2013 Mini GP. I like space efficient hot hatches. From the sounds of it, this genre of performance car isn’t for you. It’s the same reason why I’d never get a big, lumbering rwd coupe. Because I don’t get the appeal.

The Montero Sport Limited got an extra 27 hp because it used a larger 3.5 V6.

I’m always surprised the original ZDX never took off. It must been only a couple years too early to market. The corporate Acura beak of the time certainly didn’t help, tho.

This clip aired in 2009, right after the global financial crises. If anything that clip just proves how wrong we were and still are about hi-po ICE models. Jeremy was/is famous for his fear mongering and the “war on cars”

Believe it or not, what was considered luxurious 50 years ago and what passes for basic transportation today pretty much overlap. Want a farm workhorse? Buy an old one.

Land Rover’s website has their three families broken down as:

$250k?! Why can’t they focus on the lower end models? We’ve had ridiculously quick EVs for a decade now, and their 0-60 stats are almost irrelevant now. 2, 3, 4 seconds? I drove an i4 M50 and an iX 50 at a BMW event and they were plenty quick enough.

I live 6 miles from my dealer, the next closest is over an hour away in the middle of Boston. I’m not doing that trek just for a car wash with my oil change. I was just pointing out that my dealer hasn’t done so.

My Mini has never been returned washed after service, and it shares a building/lot with a BMW dealer. I’ve even asked them to on occasions where it’s been there for an extended period of time (12 days for an oil change and replacement fog light install, for instance).
