Thanks, St. Reagan.

That’s a good point. I guess the child-seat killed the 2 dr. coupe!

Yrah, the Mini is definitely not a soft ride. To get a 4-seat drop top with a sizeable back seat and a soft ride you need to go looking for the (rare) Infiniti, Lexus and Mercedes models- and they get pricy. I cross-shopped a BMW 1-series convertible and found it had a much smaller back seat than my Mini despite…

Lack of golf ball shifter is a serious offense. Not joking.

A bicycle.

Used Nissan Leaf:

I can’t recall the last time I saw one of these on the road, but now that you showed me this picture I bet I’ll see one a some point this week. It’s the way it goes!

People probably forgot about this shit-heap, but the Chevy Cavalier was a certified cockroach of a car. Almost indestructible. Pick one up from a retiree who has passed on and drive it until the wheels fall off.

there’s always the 5 option...

As people flee the increasingly large parts of our country/world that are regularly on fire, I expect a steep rise in real estate prices in the mid-west and north east.

So a couple years ago when my MIL decided she wanted to replace her Sebring convertible, I suggested either a Solara, or IS convertible. She didn’t listen to me and bought an A3…

Ok, but when are they going to fix how CAFE is calculated, where bigger cars are allowed worse mileage?

“Toyota Corolla and don’t moan.”

Good planning with the wife, but I did one step better. I only knew one single woman at the time that drove a stick. I married her.

With a grill like that I’d be camera shy and try to hide in the lake too.

It’s not a traditional belt or chain drive CVT like a Nissan, Subaru, or Honda use, it’s a single planetary gear set using the sun and planetary gears to mesh power from the engine and electric motor on demand, so in that way it is more mechanically like a single speed planetary automatic transmission in terms of…

I’m a poor Millennial dad with a non-automotive-enthusiast wife. So, most cars.

So basically it’s a prequel to Pixar’s “Cars” series?

I am not a KIA fan and I would never buy a Soul... but I want this color on almost anything.
