Where’s the “sleeper” argument??

Perspective:

The ONLY navigation system that should exist in cars is free Google Maps, leaching the little data it needs from your phone via the Bluetooth connection you already have.

Like every car whose HP deficit has been fixed, there is only one question:

Speculation:
“Oh yah! Airbaaygs! I gone dun’t even think about that. Shoot.”

No, there’s two discrete things that aren’t being sorted here:

Soooo... That “bad boy” douchebag stuff actually works for you ladies?

I’d like a direct comparison to the Civic Sport hatch (which I currently have and similarly am loving).

Great for “how to get your clutch to last”.
Headline promised “how to make your manual transmission last”, though.
It’s not the replaceable soft/wear parts that I worry about, as an experienced and enthusiastic driver who occasionally autocrosses on the weekend, and who’s “fun car” I purchased new in 1995... I’m looking…

The rear looks great.

285 pounds...
...of pure muscle.

I have to say - I have a Civic Sport Hatch. I wanted the hatch because I really wanted a commuter-and-lifestyle-car alternative to a CUV, being a guy who grew up autocrossing.
It also has about 180hp - and for a lightweight car, it does feel quick.
I don’t even have the manual transmission - I was intrigued by the CVT…

If they charge $5k to give you a different grille (that likely doesn’t cost a penny more to make than the standard grille) and stitching on the seats - that’s enough to make me surely never visit a Buick dealership...

Does selling my old one and buying a new/modern, lighter, factory turbocharged one count? That’s what i did for my daily driver.

I’m surprised you didn’t get a Civic hatchback, although I’m admittedly unclear which trim gets the always-terrible, always unjustly expensive factory navigation, that’s always better (as well as “free”) even in the cheapest Android phones...

Shame.

“much better”

“People already willing to spend $50,000 on an automobile can much better absorb that hit.”

Is it a deterrent?

Did you even read the post that I am responding to?
The section that I specifically called out, to frame the context of my comment?
