As a note, in Canada, having a stick in a car is a great way to keep it from being stolen.

Nowhere in the original suggestion, does the owner say they want a third row. The idea of a third row doesn’t show up until Bradley’s suggestion. The owner says they have a family of four. A third row is entirely unnecessary with two kids. The back seat of a Ridgeline is bigger than the back seat of an Accord. It…

Honda Ridgeline. It starts at $41k USD, has an interior that’s as roomy and comfortable as an Accord, rated to tow 5000lbs (and has been shown to be more than capable of this by Dave Tracy), and has handy under the bed storage. It’s a Honda so it’s going to last forever. It’s the truck that most people who want a…

Profile is a bit too blobish Honda Fit / last-gen Toyota Prius for my tastes. Would have hoped for sometime more like the Rivian R3X without the ride height.

Interesting, but as with most EV’s, it’s the interiors that make or breaks it for me. Not a fan of the minimalist vibe some of them have and this one looks to be just that, so...

I would say you are correct the Mk7  and 7.5 are peak VW at this point

An all electrical Jag? What could go wrong?

The more I read about what VW is doing lately with user interfaces, material quality, and driver engagement, the more I am convinced my 2016 GTI represents Peak VW, last of the greats before the fall. Sigh...

The BZ4X would like a word. 

People might view buying a used Tesla different than buying a new Tesla in regards to enhancing The Musk.

As an owner of a similar car (2018 Alltrack 6MT) I agree - the engine’s power/torque delivery is really designed around a DSG. Unless you shift like a crazy person you can’t stay in boost between shifts, unlike with a DSG, so in real world driving it ends up being a slower car. I put a mild tune on it which does help.

I’ll be happy to take her off your hands !

I passed on a MINT 1989 Porsche 911 coupe with less than 50,000 miles in Guards Red with the G50 transmission, full service docs, one-owner, for $18,000 in the mid-00's because I thought it would be too impractical

Mine would die in the rain. Being a moron and with a car-fanatic father that for some reason never bothered to teach me auto repair, I had no idea what to do.

This was never a Great Little Hatch. My girlfriend back in 1990 had one of these since her family were dyed in the wool Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth fans (K-Car and Horizon both in the driveway). At the time it was no more than 3yrs old and was just a POS to drive. Things were always wrong with it, it was noisy, slow and…

I had an ‘87 924S. the parts it shared with old Rabbits and Beetles were practically free. Anything with that Porsche crest on it Oh Dear God - the Porsche Tax is as serious as a heart attack. And that thing was a cast iron bitch to work on, and I am a damned decent wrench. That Porsche motor is MUCH physically bigger…

Bimmer batteries: complete with the boneheaded glitch of one cell ruining the pack--kinda like old-style series-wired Xmas lights that won’t light when one bulb is dead--only 10,000 times more expensive.

What? You’re trolling, right?

Other hint - pulling out of a lane of stopped traffic into one that is flowing is likewise tough. And your fault if you’re the one making the lane change.

I need this gif, it expresses things I have difficulty putting into words.
