Ahh. No more forester w/ manual?

Imprezza/WRX does not fit 4 adults in comfort, nor is it quiet.

and with a stickshift, from the factory! my buddy had a 94 324 stickshift with remote start.... but he better be 100% sure he didn’t park it in gear... and modern manuals cars require the brake be stepped on to start.

get a one or two year old one with a stickshift. The problem is he said no Outbacks. it must be too good of a fit, especially in New Hampshire and Maine.

For a manual transmission with panoramic sunroof in a car that will seat 4 adults in cloth seats, just the LOUD MINI Countryman/Clubman. The unbuckled beeping gong will be included and it’s not an analog key.

Congratulations. My 1990 E30 iX w/ a stick was perfect. Stalked the buyer on eBay for years trying to buy it back. It’s probably rusting away in some barn in Wisconsin. I loved that car.

You can. I don’t know about JetBlue, and Southwest doesn’t, but the others all sell seats in “premium” economy rows with more legroom.

51K miles in my over-maintained N55.

I’m on my sixth Bimmer, and I won’t challenge your statement - I’ve just kept repairing them.

Aparecida = Found. Her first name is, literally, “Found”.

Mazda3 and Honda civic do 40 mpg highway with manual transmissions.

Mazda3. way more reliable too.

Why would you own such a slow car? As a Jalopnik reader, I refuse to purchase any car that does 0-60 in less than 8 secs.

yep. American car companies, such as Toyota and Honda, would reliably figure this out. Ford could even put EcoBoost on the doors.

just make it a POWERED sliding door. :)

lucky!

and Volvo manual transmissions were peachy. I test drove a C30 and was impressed by how Honda-smooth the clutch/shifter relationship felt.

I’d add one major pro-buying argument. A home is a good hedge against inflation on your biggest bill - housing. Frankly. It’s the single best financial reason to own. If you buy a house with a boring 30-yr fixed mortgage and I rent the identical one next door, my rent will be nominally increased every year, while your…

I test drove this car and loved it. Except that it was August, and it was 108 degrees in Texas. 20 minutes into the drive, the A/C still wasn’t cold enough. My 135 convertible, with an admittedly so-so a/c did so much better AND it was a proper 6-speed manual with a clutch pedal. Is my Bimmer faster? Not with me…

Tesla European Delivery... I like it.
