Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Europe’s busiest airport...

The prices in Doha will make your eyes bleed.

Yes, kind of begs for “Expects” as the second word.

Combine the car-free zone and no minimum parking or single-family home rules with a law similar to the Japanese requirement for proof of off-street parking for car purchases, et voilà!

Ah. Put my comment down to my habit of reading only the headline and first paragraph of articles on Google News.

Agreed. I remember that, when flights were temporarily grounded after 9/11, a study found marginally raised atmospheric temperatures in the USA and attributed it to the lack of cloud formation due to contrails.

For a regular passenger car or kei car, shaken is every 2 years regardless of age. Most 21st-century Japanese cars run forever if reasonably maintained and shaken is much cheaper than the taxes and depreciation on a new car.

I don’t think you’re the only one. I never look at the videos but used to DD a Festiva and thought it was a great little car, so I was interested to know what their problem with it would be. Even given the current state of Jalopnik, I wasn’t expecting facile, childish trash talk based on, basically... nothing.

The Festiva had such a big heart it probably could forgive someone supposedly interested in cars who doesn’t make a single informed or valid criticism and is still trying to get the hang of snarkasm.

You’re welcome. It was so sweet of you to trash a car that looked good compared to the competition, was great to drive in town because of its high hip-point at a time when most cars were still sedans, was a hoot to drive on winding roads and seated four 6-footers easily in a tiny package.

Well, that was a minute or so of complete and utter bollocks, proof, if it was needed, that Jalopnik is a mere shadow of its former self.

In the UK, jaywalking is practically de rigeur. 2021: 1,560 traffic deaths in total, about 1/3 of the per capita rate in the US, and 17% lower than pre-pandemic.

Yes, the competitor for the also JDM Toyota Noah/Voxy, also recently replaced with new models. Toyota precictably went swoopier than the last generation, nicely done apart from its ugly wall-of-chrome face. Honda took this functional direction and they look outstanding, and stand out, on the road.
We took a test drive…

1. Is that, god forbid, a yoke steering... apparatus.

Decibels are non-linear: 10~12dB is ten to 15 times louder.

It felt quite peppy, even with the automatic, probably because of the lightness. Mine was a company car for my first job in Japan, daily driven up and down Route 1 to Hakone (when it was still the centre of drift culture). On the hairpin bends it scrubbed its 80 (?) profile tyres almost up to its tiny steel rims,…

Yes, and sold as a Mazda 121 in Europe.

Yes! I daily drove a Festiva in my yoof. Slow car fast, what a hoot. Unfortunately it was an automatic – with a 5- or 6-speed manual (and more feel in the steering) it would have been nearly perfect.
