I wish the old VW I had could use the window washer to squirt oil in the engine every so often as it burned it.

2007 VW Passat wagon; It had 30k on it when I bought it. It was only a couple weeks later when it started. First to go were the wheel bearings. It was all downhill from there. At least twice a year there would be something expensive that had to be done to keep it on the road. Those repairs meant I could never afford…

I can't wait to see this driven in downtown Philly traffic, the H1, not the PT.

It's simple enough to bluetooth your phone to the car and well placed mics already exist in cars. My phone has voice controls. Some of them even work.

Volkswagen, your low cost entry into German maintenance costs. I think reliability is more their problem than their odd cars.

You look at that speedometer every time you drive the car. The font is more important that you think. It has to be clearly legible, but also convey the something about the car. I would never accept a car without at least an "above average" from Consumer Reports.

Can you get lederhosen made out of the same leather as the interior? That'd be awesome!

Automatic transmissions, unless you have an injured left leg.

I had an old ('96) civic hatchback. I loved it. Super practical. Super simple. Super reliable. It's still on the road at somewhere around 250k miles. The Fit is much more a successor to that car than the current Civic. The hatchback is more useful and it's not an SUV. It has shocking amounts of very usable space for…

Justin should get something like my old '96 Civic hatchback. That car was fun to drive, reasonably comfortable, a stick, got great mileage, cheap to fix and will run forever. I foolishly sold it to a friend. It's had about 225k miles on it when I got rid of it and it is still on the road.

I don't know, does this one come with the most prominent feature of the B6 wagon I had? That being breaking down about every few months and everything costing too much to fix? It was fantastic to drive, fit everything I needed it to, got good mileage and was safe, but good god did stuff break all the time.

I imagine a conversation my son will have with me some day where he tells me it's time to stop driving.

Long commutes made by exhausted workers have to make this worse too. I have driven home after a particularly exhausting day, pulled into the driveway and not been able to remember the drive. It's a scary feeling.

Maybe since Mr DeMuro feels that his Ferrari is the most reliable car he's owned, (http://jalopnik.com/the-ferrari-36…) he should write about what it's like to daily drive it to 100k miles. He writes it all off as a business expense anyway.

Duh. They cover this in the movie. Lightning McQueen doesn't have headlights. They're decals. Hmm. That doesn't explain every other car in the movie though...

It's the message of the liberal Obama nanny state! They look all sweet and harmless. They just want you to care about the kittens and environment and crap, but if you don't conform and get a fuel efficient foreign econobox you'll be taken out in the woods to be executed! I don't even feel it when I run over a kitten…

My grandmother had one of these when I was a kid. She loved it. It was reliable. She lives on a farm ten miles from nowhere, so it had to start every time. Too bad the body rusted away. She found it funny that she could see the ground through the floor of the trunk. She didn't like the Taurus she replaced it with…

You aren't looking for a cool or even necessarily a fun car. You are looking for a car you can write funny articles about owning a car most people don't or can't. What about getting some normal car and customizing the crap out of it? Can Doug make a Corolla cool? Can you get a normal car and make it faster, more…
