While SkyActiv is the way of the future I'm concerned about an excessive maintenance schedule. A friend of mine bought a Mazda3 last year and barely uses it (it's only got 6,000 km on it now) but regardless of mileage Mazda is telling him to get the car in for its $150 synthetic oil change every three months or risk…

You wouldn't think Ontario was anti-green in looking at all the wind turbines popping up all over the province or the "Green cars allowed" signs on all our HOV lanes. I I guess it's not the province as the incentive is pretty decent. It's the manufacturers hosing us and thinking that we don't know how to use an…

The bucking borders on dangerous! Pull into traffic and put your foot down and that wait between first and second is terrifying!

The Leaf's monthly lease payment for 36 months is $611. Not exactly $199. Complete hose job versus what you guys get! I was an electric car sceptic until I drove the Volt and it made me a believer. A genuinely impressive car. For cutting around downtown traffic it's outstanding. I'm sure the other electric cars would…

I just went figured out what lease payments are for a Smart ForTwo Electric in Ontario. The website didn't give any information so I had to actually call MB Financial and ask. The current 36 month lease payment on a bone stock ForTwo Electric - remembering that it's $139/mth in the US - $508/mth!!!!

I own an '05. On the rare occasion I drive top up I'll admit it's a challenge but that's what my mirrors are for.

Not often. But even when I do I use mirrors. Haven't hit anything yet.

I don't think I want to share the road with someone who requires a Blind Spot Monitor on their convertible.

Any modified Mazda B Series. As modifying a B Series generally involves lowering and cramming the bed with subwoofers.

it was the first thing I said when I saw the Pontiac Solstice unveiled.

A big mouth and looks better from behind. I'm calling the Mazda Minaj.

The most unreliable car I've owned was a 1994 Miata. To be fair I was the seventh owner and I paid next to nothing for it, but in the two years it was serving in the fleet I spent more money on repairs than on any of my previous cars - ironically Ford, GM, and Chrysler products in that order. Despite my seeming…

Just change the name of the airline. Most people won't look beyond the name of the carrier when booking a flight:

"No way I'm flying Malaysia Airlines!! But this 'Air Malaysia' has the same prices and goes there too!"

Appropriate:

What about buying a used enthusiasts car that has known artificially high residual value owing to nothing other than enthusiast demand, running it for three years and then selling it?

For example I've been mulling over a Pontiac G8 GT. When I first looked at them in 2009 when GM was practically giving them away I…

I remember being at the media day for Toronto Auto Show a few years back, standing at the Chryco booth next to this slick looking customer with immaculate hair and a clearly expensive suit and thinking to myself, "who's this douchebozzle?" Figuring he was some Dodge dealer principal trying to impress folks at the big…

Fiendish! I like it!
