I was going to post the same, basically a 2 door Sidekick with a different body. Many have been lifted and are as good as a Sidekick offroad:

TIL the ILX exists

A place to chuck a lawnmower/bicycles/group sex accoutrements when you need it.

“The Chrysler 200 I Bought A Few Months Ago Already Needs To Be Replaced!”

Well, my recent desire to spend $20k on a Harley Pan America has morphed into a desire to spend $20k on a Maverick...

Prius MPGs with more utility for less money? If you have a family of four and a budget of less than $25K, I don’t see how you buy anything else. 

I could have used a couple extra inches of ground clearance on a Yellowstone road trip a couple year ago in our ‘09 Sedona. We’ve done plenty of groomed gravel in it, but driving the dirt road north out of Mammoth Hot Springs that leads to the north gate entrance (~4 miles) I had to get out and walk at least one…

First off: It’s a suspension lift, roof rack, and inverter. It’s a light camping package. Calm down.

I’ve heard the NVH on Fits isn’t great for longer road trips. 

The 370z with a VLSD starts at $33,820 according to Nissan’s website, I doubt the base 400z or just Nissan Z will be available for less than $35,000 in base trim (if that includes a true mechanical LSD). The current gen BRZ starts at $28,845 and the tS starts at $31,495 according to Subaru’s website, so I imagine it…

Rally actually seems like a good contender for a full EV race. A rally stage is well within what current EV technology can handle time/distance wise. Heck, EVs are already record holders in hill climbs like Pikes Peak, which is essentially just a rally stage. Biggest issue would likely be places to recharge between…

Yup...overwhelming demand alright.

Pure speculation on my part, but I suspect Hyundai was hoping for a TPP (trans-pacific partnership) that would allow them to build this thing in South Korea and import it to the U.S. back in 2016, and avoid the Chicken Tax.

“Still not sure I see the need for this vs. a regular bike though.”

Sounds boring, and potentially COVID-ish. But you are correct.

I guess you dont shop for Wranglers. The models with the big tires and lights sell for big bucks

Jason, your problem is that you’re American with tastes that skew toward the understated. You project yourself as sweet, quirky and intelligent. I’ve always assumed you moonlight in an alt-rock band that plays lots of ukulele heavy songs about tail light design.

This is exactly the thought process that led me to my recommendation.

Brake fluid was hard for me to say no to because it’s probably never been changed, and it’s a safety item. O2 sensor was the main reason for the shop visit. ATF was just something that could lead to an eventual failure (Puh chose to pass on this for…

In the early evening, just as the sun fell behind the trees - a gale blew from the west just right, and I heard the mournful cries of a broken man...

Starting to get an irrational hatred towards Singer vehicles.

And that is a fair assesment, but when you have already completed 99% of the process, starting all over may not be the best use of your time, especially if the dealer will give in and pull the nonsense from the quote.
