The removal of the auto stop/start from cars due to the chip issue has been a blessing from this nonsense of a pandemic.

Never thought I would say this about a Hyundai, but this is a really good looking vehicle. It’s a great job of bringing what everyone thinks future cars design will be going to without being overwrought and too “futuristic”.
Since several people have already said Volvo (correct answer, BTW), the next best seats were in Saabs. Ultra comfortable with just the right amount of bolstering to keep you from flopping around.
That keypad is a great option to have if you use it. There’s been many times we’re out in my wife’s Escape and I’ve had to get into it with no keys on hand.
His brother-in-law already beat him to it.
My dad had a Datsun 1200 wagon when he was in med school. It is the only car he has owned that he talks about with any real affection towards.
Can you use this picture instead? I want to make sure everyone enjoys the actual car and the gorgeous white-on-white exterior.
AWD, room for the kids, 325/375 power, totally under the radar, tons of bells and whistles.
I thought they couldn’t make the Huayra look any better than it already did.
1998 Pontiac Grand Am: Big POS, but my first taste of freedom as a teenager. Had it until 2005 when a lady ran a stop sign and t-boned it. Sold it to the dad of one of my fraternity brothers who rebuilt it and drove it for another 4 years. Hasn’t been registered since 2009.
Sync3 is VASTLY better. My wife’s car has it as well and I use it mostly for CarPlay as well. She refuses to use it with her phone, but she hasn’t had any problems using the factory system thankfully. I just don’t want to pay $150 to update the maps.
Sounds about right. I’ve seen a lot of “off-roading” with the navigation too, where it would be just off the side of the road you were on, and if you went over a side road or over a highway, it would latch to that and try to reroute you.
It’s pricey, but worth it.
The first-gen of Sync wasn’t bad if you consider the technology back then. It was MyFord Touch that caused a ton of headaches. It either worked perfectly or it would crash spectacularly. There was no middle ground.
About 5 years ago, I was on my way to work and was caught behind a trash truck making its weekly trip. Not a big deal, right? No, this was on a 55 mph two-lane road AND on a blind corner.
I’d be all over that Cavalier in a heartbeat.
This picture is giving me PTSD. Did this back in 2008 with my buddy from Orlando to Pittsburgh. First 4 hours were driving through a tropical storm. He had to floor it just to keep it at 70 mph. Then we somehow got lost on a windy two-lane mountain road in God’s Country WV, which the sedated chihuahua we had to take…
Literally any vehicle if there’s a halfway decent public transportation system set up in said city. I never understand people owning cars in NYC or DC. It makes absolutely zero sense.
I can hear the front bumper scraping in that top photo.
You’d only buy this thing if you had one growing up and want to relive your best years, or want something new to take to Radwood. Other than that, this is double the price it should be.
