That GV60 is giving me modern 08-14 STI hatch vibes. It has a nice profile with lots of body and those wheels are a combo of OZ Rallys married to STI five-double spokes. All it’s really missing is a big spoiler.

It’s amazing how it threaded the needle perfectly between two gas pumps. This could have been waaaaaaaay worse.

Car insurance is, or should be, a big part of this consideration. Teenagers, especially teen boys, are much more expensive to insure. If you want to get them any kind of sports car, enjoy your insurance rates going up faster than the speedometer in the car.

Woah check out those rear brakes.

I’m a bit puzzled by the state of this car. Given how wrecked the passenger sills are, and the obvious exposure to water inside, I was expecting the underside to be an absolute horror show. It may just be that a very thick layer of underseal is disguising the state of the floorpan, but there’s only one area of…

I was thinking this, “I bought the cheapest Aston Lagonda’ later we find the Car Wizard has died from intentionally inhaling brake clean

Those of us that keep our cars forever will understand this the most: pick the color you really want, even if it costs extra. Sure, it sucks that most automakers now charge extra for the “good colors”, but are you really going to miss that measly $495 upcharge every time you stare at your car for the next 15-20 years…

Nearly every disposable appliance cookie cutter commuter cars have what I consider ‘must-haves’ as minimum standard already. Specifically, CarPlay.

It is gotta suck being a Tesla engineer. You pour your heart and soul into designing a project, and you have Elon’s deranged voice in your ear 24/7 constantly changing it, and you finally manage to get something onto the production line, your baby that you worked so damn hard on, and, in some ways, achieved the…

I was actually eye-balling the Lincoln Continental. They are getting into the low-mid 20s and that seems like a hell of a deal for a flagship luxury sedan. Plus those door handles...yum

Current gen Focus ST Estate - yes please

The Puma would have been a much better option than the Ecosport; but to be fair it would have been more expensive. 

Yes, but when was the last time you heard of a duck’s door blowing off mid flight?

The Mitsubishi Mirage is a perfectly cromulent car. It is reliableish, able to take most of the stresses of commuter life, low maintenance, and cheap to buy and run. That is all ninety-nine percent of the driving public care about. It is also small enough to park in crowded cities and apartment parking lots without…

No worries; a turtle riding a flying cloud will catch them with a fishing line before they hit the ground and deposit them safely back onto the track, helping himself to a few of their coins for his troublese.

Remember when this site would have had an unmodified vehicle pic to compare? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Good to see Jalopnik revisiting the classic article format. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a “buy this old ass luxury car for the price of a reliable new staple automobile” article.
