Same boat. I have a 2015 Audi Allroad with 98,000 km that I’ve sunk $5000 into in the past year. A seven year old Audi at 60,000 miles is primetime for a big ticket repair so I’m looking to get out while it’s still worth some money. Looking at a Volvo V60 or a Golf R, but knowing I’ll have a six month wait I’m…

Bring back Nurse Ogawa or we riot in the streets!

But no, it’s gonna be Ro Laren...

The guy needs reliability and Owen comes back with an RX-8. I almost dropped my phone in the toilet I was laughing so hard. 

I interned at GM many years ago and briefly had a Bonneville GXP with the Northstar as my company car. Kinda what the Buick boys were going for here. The tune on that exhaust was excellent. Loved it! But if it were my money, I’d have a supercharged 3800 purely for the reliability.

N/C Spoiler delete option and I’m good to place my order.

I’ve used Krown on my Miata for years and it’s as clean as a whistle. The added benefit is it also helps lubricate everything so bolts don’t tend to seize up. It does require an annual reapplication (around CAD$130) but to me that’s cheap insurance for a car I intend to keep that I know is prone to rust (my first…

If it’s York Region, it’s safe to presume every Lexus RX and Heavy-Duty pick-up north of Highway 401 has an air tag stashed somewhere on it.

I’m not sold on this concept’s direction, but if Volvo will actually build an electric wagon instead of the electric crossovers that every other automaker is extruding, I’m all in! An EV version of the V60 would check every box I want in my next car.

The GM 3800 is a solid engine and generally unburstable if it’s maintained. It just looks a little strange not transversely mounted in a W Body. But, what more do you want for five grand? Nice Price.

Called it. 

Maybe not of all time, but first gen Vibe GT or Matrix XRS. Toyota block with Yamaha-tuned heads good for 180hp, manual transmission, unburstable Toyota reliability, and with fold-flat front passenger and rear seats, pop-up rear hatch glass, a standard roof rack, and a 120-volt household power outlet it was about as…

Guaranteed spot on the list for you! You know what Jalopnik journos like...

I was considering a 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV for an in-town runabout. We have a 2015 Allroad and a 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata for longer treks or fun cruises. Plus 400 lb-ft. of torque on the 2014 models would be a chuckle between stoplights in city traffic. I can’t quite make my peace with the fact I’d basically have to…

“If you’re charging the car after every use, you could accidentally charge it over the 90 percent threshold, which GM doesn’t want drivers to do.”

If you go to the recall page on Chevrolet’s website, it shows the steps to either activate Hilltop Reserve (2017 and 2018 models) or Target Charge (2019 models) to limit…

My favourite parts bin raid on the Solstice? The exterior rear-view mirrors are from the Fiat Barchetta.

I wonder how much more negative this article could have been if they’d done the special in three Tesla’s instead? 

Truth. 

Way ahead of you. I just dropped an alarming amount of money for pads and rotors this week. It begiiiiiiins....!!

I have been looking for an excuse to part with my 2015 Audi Allroad. This would have given me all the reason I needed. But apparently North Americans would rather drive an Atlas because we don’t dare to dream. On the plus side, I still have an Allroad to enjoy so it’s not all bad!
