Worst, yet in a few ways the best. 1971 Fiat 128 SL. Rusted apart in 6 months. But what a glorious 6 months of driving that little hellion.

1975 Fiat 128 SL., tin foil fenders, 63 hp. Mechanics who could speak English are difficult to explain problems to. But it was fun in the snow.

Buy a Lexus CT or HS if you absolutely must have a luxury badge but Ideally buy a a Camry/Corolla Hybrid or a Prius. But if a Toyota product is too boring for you get a 9th gen Civic SI (Or 2017ish 10th gen EX-T coupe with a manual if you want more modern tech features). If you buy something European it’s going to

No one voted for Town Car Town Car L? Really?

My first thought is a Chrysler 300 (2012+).  They are still in production, IMO stylish and you always feel like a boss when driving one.

I’m... not angry about this? The average person is an inconsiderate moron. This reminds me of the time I had to yell at someone at the gas station. All the pumps were taken except for one pair of pumps on one side... and I was behind another vehicle and they pulled up and stopped at the FIRST PUMP without pulling

Meanwhile at gas stations, people will still pump the gas fully and then leave their car at the pump to buy some chips while the pumps are full -___-

You can be an entitled douche without sounding mean. That’s what came across to me.

...had this happen last weekend at an EA station. I bought a Hummer EV last month and was on a road trip. This is a remote station that I’ve never seen full with 4 chargers and there were only two charging, a VW iD4 and a Chevy Bolt, which can only charge at 118kW and 55kW, respectively. BOTH 150kW chargers were free

SJ: great pick!

It’s a Doozy! The Duesenberg Model J.

If you go far enough north, we know not to go out in ice.

First let me say based on what you stated you audi is not unreliable. A toyota with a bad part could have jusy as easily had you visit a dealer for the thermostat. The rest is all stuff you’ll encounter on your ev and probably will be alot more money come replacement time. Good news is you have an a4 as a base line.

At an Audi dealership you can bet it will be every bit of that much. Don’t take a car out of warranty to a dealership.

So routine maintenance and something covered under a class action suit makes a car “unreliable?!” This person is a tool. Also, who actually pays for those BS interval services at a dealer? $1500 for an oil change and inspection. Morons. I drove my ‘17 GTI to 100k and  did nothing except tires and oil. 

First, new car depreciation & payments dwarfs your repair bills on a paid-off car. But I understand reliability is more than a financial cost. Once you have one unexpected failure or breakdown you tend to lose some trust in the car; something that was rock-solid reliable for X years is no longer a sure thing and you

Or learn a bit about the car and find a good local Audi mechanic (not one at the stealership). There are plenty of Audi forums (Audizine, for example) where OP can learn about possible issues and ways to mitigate them.

This.

I may just be missing something but if the reasoning for replacing the audi is because it needed a thermostat and basic maintenance it really doesn’t make sense to replace it. Ditching a free and paid off vehicle for a a 60k loan unless you just happen to have 60k burning a hole in your pocket doesn’t seem rational.

Why would anyone who considers themselves a car enthusiast ever be interested in self-driving? The whole concept is just foreign to me.
