Id rather have it this way if it means I can get a manual with some options.  It sucks to have to downgrade everything else to get the better transmission.

Only 6,335 miles on a 2017.  Probably because it spent most of its short life with its hood open and Luigi working on it.  Unfortunately Alfa Romeo hasn’t shed its terrible reputation for reliablility... or lack thereof. CP

Because it is a lifted minivan for a mom with ‘attitude’

I can’t speak for the 2019, but when I was in a 2018 model as a loaner, I set my front seat as I would any other car. I stepped in the back and it was so tight.  I’m only 5’10. 

Hey Anthony! The video was only straight line cross-axle over a speed bump. They also apparently looked more at what Peugeot does with torsion-beam suspension in its cars (specifically the Peugeot 308), rather than start with what’s on the CX-3. Not sure if that helps or hurts, I don’t know how good the Peugeot’s…

Yes, they found me one in Soul Red with tan interior.

This is still one of the absolute best D segment sedans. Mazda deserves more credit than what they get.

Should’ve just gone with the 90s Japanese import classic color scheme:

They need to do a heritage color and to the forest green.

Bad take: isn’t this your fault, too? You wanted a Supra, badly. You wanted the ultimate Toyota tuner-sports car, the follow-up to the revered JZA80. You wanted something that can equal it, maybe even surpass it. You wanted the 2JZ engine. You bugged them for god knows how long. You saw all the SUpra builds. You got…

The Passat has always had a clean and restrained design. Nothing wrong with that. It’s certainly more pleasing than the “scared catfish vacuum cleaner” designs from the Camry, Sonata, etc.

Its frustrating to be sure, but towing these trucks out of the way is just going to result in violence. The kind of bro-truck, redneck mentality that leads to them ICE-ing, comes with a hearty helping of macho posturing as well. 

It’s probably unfair to call cars from the 2000s “analog” ones, since most of them were firmly into the complex, digital modern era.

First generation Lexus Is300, comes with the renowned Toyota 2JZ inline 6 motor. Can be had pretty cheap too 

This. I have a neighbor who just bought a Bolt. They don’t have electrical service outside of their house next to the driveway. Their electrician said that service to their 100 year old house doesn’t have the capacity to add a dedicated circuit to charge their 100% electric car.

There’s only one appropriate reply to this:

Stay tuned...

“I would totally buy that if it was in the US and under $30K” that lurk around these parts, this is your moment!

I love cars. But I don't know enough about the mechanical aspects for this article to mean anything to me :-(
