That's what I thought, then I found out I like to put stuff on the back seat other than people and the back doors were very useful.

I would not spend all that money on a car whose visibility is not really all that bad after you get used to it.

One place I have found to drive a car unmolested by a stranger in the other seat is at car rental used car places. Of course the cars are about two or three years old.

The seats etc. are hard to really tell in a dealer test drive. I would spend some time just sitting in the thing alone. Actually for me the diversion of a salesperson in the car and limited time make test driving a car not really super useful. Better to read about it on websites and publications, definitely including…

Alex on Youtube does tests of some cars and car seats! Hint: don't even think about a 2-door.

Absolutely. After all the lying they will slip in whatever extra fees they can think of.

My experience also. If I was buying a new car I would price it out on Edmunds or a similar site, show them the printout including the dealer and what you should pay price, and negotiate from there. And do the same thing at other dealers. You can check their inventory and know exactly the vehicle and options for their…

If it is a car with a lot of road noise like a Fit/Jazz (CR says the new one is better, but still not that good) it will seem to be MUCH quieter and smoother on wet pavement. And what do you expect to test in the rain? Braking distance? On-limit cornering? I don't think so. And besides, you would be testing the tires,…

They need three things: unique advantages, no mistakes (awkward transmission, instruments in the middle, lacking something everyone else has), and rock solid reliability. If they come up short in any category it's curtains.

My 1962 Lincoln Continental had hydraulic windows run off the power steering pump and vacuum locks. And vacuum controlled everything in the HVAC system(s).

And the 500S mini minivan. Two models. Three if you count the 500 cabriolet. 2 1/2?

I read somewhere that they were moving in the common direction. It only makes sense, as a lot of the cars are now the same or versions of the same thing, unlike the olden days. And both sides have similar goals. So why not? It would be pro-business competition and good for consumers, resulting in more choice and lower…

That was the really French part.

If this is a coupe then a Fusion, Chrysler 200, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima etc. are now coupes.

Coupe (French) means cut. So in ballet it is a little cutting move with one foot (koo-pay). Originally it was a two passenger carriage with the driver outside. Not sure what was cut, but in cars it became a two passenger with maybe a small back seat two door car, probably shorter or at least shorter in the roofline…

The current CC really does qualify as a four door coupe though.

I thought the XJ is the more original type WWIIish Jeeps. But that is definitely an original Cherokee with a mod face.

I didn't realize they still made stuff like this so long after the end of the empire. Besides a hundred other issues, cars from then inherently take a lot more labor to build and there are no doubt no robots involved. Better snatch yours up while you can!

Just guessing, but I seriously doubt that. I bet the second generation Chrysler vans moved on from the K Car stuff to the Stratus/Cirrus and then maybe Sebring stuff. After the first generation they got about 6 inches wider. The one thing in common is the simple space saving beam rear axle with leaf (I think)…

But not the new one, finally.
