My 1.0L 3-cylinder Opel Corsa (yey Europe) with blown head gasket could take off with the clutch alone. My Volvo 850 Turbo will do that in third gear...

Maybe the pictures don’t do it justice, but whenever I see a CLS in the wild I can’t help but think it looks so disproportionate it’s almost cartoonish, specially from the front. But those are opinions, I guess.

Pretty sure they’ll be offering that will a diesel in Europe? Not sure about manuals though.

Looks perfectly fine to be.

YES! A legit, near-straight roofline, as it should be, and not the sloping bullshit everyone else is doing. Leave it to Volvo to give us the REAL wagons we want and deserve.

I drove a car without the reverse for a couple of weeks until I got it fixed. It was OK most of the time as my work’s parking is pull-through and my apartment is in a flat area in the suburbs with infinite parking, so getting it out was just a matter of pushing it back a little bit. Not super fun in the rain, but far…

As a Volvo enthusiast who plans to one day own a first-gen S80, could you elaborate on the issues with the early models?

Guess I won’t be needing Porntube tonight.

I’m sure the Carmax warranty people must suspect something is going on in there. I can sort of imagine Doug going “Damn, nothing has broken in my Range Rover in three weeks! I’m running out of things to write about, something must fail soon! Maybe I should take it through a car wash with the windows open, just to be…

Isn’t that what the Range Rover is for, though?

So you will get a second car after all? I thought you had exhausted your budget on this one. I am totally in favor of the 2-car thing, makes it a lot more interesting and varied to read about two completely different cars. You don’t get bored of hearing about the same car all the time.

Exactly my concerns, word for word.

True. Fuck new cars.

There’s something very Hyundai-ish about the shape of this grill.

I was actually looking through these comments looking for the best way to answer this shitty question, and this definitely wins the prize. I will definitely use it from now. Thanks!

A bit tricky to do this in America since roundabouts are rarer than unicorns in most areas!

It is incredibly useful when trying to diagnose problems, though.

Indeed. I feel they have the focus of this article totally wrong, judging by the headline. Hack apart an (admittedly, very expensive) aero pan is obviously very bad, but doesn’t come anywhere close the damage that could have been done to the engine and trans if this guy was a typical owner.

Wait, are you telling me that Honda drove around for an entire day with close to no oil in it? That’s pretty impressive. I’ll have to imagine some degree of permanent damage has to have been done, though.

True. See how well that turned out for Cartman’s mom!
