I’d have no problem being a basic b*tch for a Miata.

I’m much more interested in the independent rear suspension. I can’t wait to hear more about that!

I’ve seen a lot of baby boomers in the new Eclipse Cross the past few weeks. Also went to the local auto show and there were A LOT of blue hairs checking out the Mitsu display. It definitely left me puzzled for a few minutes.

Looks like something out of RoboCop.

Interesting. I’ll have to forward this to the local guy who has a Chiron. He’s only got like 9-10 cars at the moment.

This is exactly what I thought of too. Must be rear facing like the S, but even then it looks like 3rd row passengers would have to ride with their faces pressed against the rear glass. 

335 horse/385 torque; plenty of space for baby and everyone else you have to schlep around; sweet spot in size; it comes in a plethora of bright colors; max out at $53,000.

My dad leased two of these badboys; a 1994 Limited V8 and a 1997 Laredo 4.0, both in that green if I remember right. Amazing vehicles. I loved the tuffed leather and the Infinity sound in the 94 and my brother would let me drive around in the 97 before I had my license. Great times.

CP. Friend of mine picked up an 04 with 55k on it for $15,500 back in January. Original owner had like 6 different cars and was pairing down a few.

Driving downtown can be fun too. I just prefer the secondary roads that feed into the city. 

“I was looking at a Toyota Corolla and also a Subaru Impreza. My two questions for you are this, do you have any insight on which would be a better buy? It would be used mostly driving around the city (Pittsburgh with its stupid hills and twisty, narrow roads) with very rare highway trips. I put an average of 3,000…

I see it everyday my friend. It’s hilarious to watch middle age men buy these $50000 half-ton trucks to commute downtown. Beds are in pristine condition too.

Pretty much this. Most “traditional” customers want all the features and will go longer term/have a higher payment to get them without really considering what the long-term affects could be. Yes, you can be emotional about it since you are spending your hard earned money, but you also have to use common sense and…

The only saving grace to these things are the SRT4s, and even those had glaring side affects of being based on that platform. 

I can tell you’ve never been behind the wheel of a first-gen smart fortwo.

I’ve had mine for over 5 years now. Mine has been incredibly reliable after 73k miles. 

Erin’s recommendation is pretty spot-on. You’re already a VW owner, so you are already use to that pain. They can be fairly reliable and the torque is always entertaining. Plus you’d probably be doubling your MPGs so the higher price of diesel would be negated if not save you a few bucks a month. 

People who don’t understand how to use a “suicide lane” properly. It’s a great idea to help you safely merge onto a busy road, but, you know, let’s not use it at all and hope the people behind you have strong brakes.
