Comparing cars is a tricky thing, especially when they weren’t designed to fit the same niche. M4s and Camaros were designed for different audiences and therefore are likely going to appeal to different audiences. The overlap with the M4 and Camaro is that both represent the performance coup options in their…

An unarguably good selection. Maybe not the only possibility but absolutely nothing wrong with it.

BTW, I am not being an apologist for the dealer. They screwed up but neither is the owner is not a victim relative to the warranty issue. As is so often the case there are multiple parties involved who each have their own share of guilt.

Not really true. People want certain words to mean certain things but racing doesn’t mean competition. You can race from one stoplight to the next and the word racing is being used correctly. If you think language is that precise you have never met a lawyer. Besides, the part of the warranty quoted here says…

I agree. However, many people here and the article seem to being trying to use this dealers bad act as an argument on a different topic, the manufacturer’s ability to cancel a warranty do to the vehicles use on the track. The dealer screwed up and should pay for the repair in this case but as I have stated it isn’t…

The term racing is not as narrowly defined as you would suggest. It doesn’t need to be professional or competitive driving. Taking a car to a drag strip and running it by yourself with the timer off can still be considered racing. Same thing with a road or oval course. Bringing your car to a track and driving…

I don’t disagree with the basic premise of your statement, however, when you track your car regularly you open yourself up to these situation. Tracking a car increases the likelihood of failure from all parts. Yes, some are more obviously connected to the use but ask the Honda F1 team if they are able to predict…

Subaru is going to take the dealer’s claims seriously, especially if there is obvious evidence to support that claim, and act accordingly. The fact the car was used as a track car would have allowed the dealer to work with the manufacturer to void the warranty. If you don’t like it you need to buy a car that…

In this case the dealer is paying exactly because they did the work without asking under the auspices of the warranty being valid. It is completely disingenuous to claim that track time is no different than getting groceries. No sane person believes that. Street racing can’t be used as a point of comparison because…

If you track your car you give the manufacturer a valid reason to cancel the warranty. There are a few exceptions and they aren’t on low cost cars design to be driven every day and those exceptions are touted as benefits to buying those cars.

Taking a car to a track and expecting any subsequent issues to be covered by warranty is ridiculous. Yes, the dealership should have let her know they were voiding her warranty before doing the work but she wouldn’t be any better off because she would still be on the hook for fixing it herself. The dealer only owes…

I would say by definition you didn’t overpay. You didn’t buy the least expensive car but you were fully aware of what you wanted and why it cost more than other similar options. To me overpaying is when you could have gotten the same exact thing for less and due to fraud or ignorance failed to do so.

The Force family is one of the best stories in motorsports. Just amazing levels of performance across generations.

It is all about risk management. People who are unwilling to by $50 meaningfully reduce the risk of catastrophic suspension failure must not place a high value on their own safety or the safety of other people on the road. Even if the the added chances of failure are small, say 1:1000, the fact that the cost of…

Maybe. My wife and I have had softtops for years and never had a problem. Typically it is a lot cheaper to replace than a window if somebody wants to get in.

The only way someone could write this article is if they are completely bought off by Porsche. Either with cash or be being so pathetic as to sell their honesty for a couple days in an overpriced VW. Urban driving, especially in NYC is the worst possible environment for a Macan. In that environment you need…

I like these cars, just not this one at this price. The interior is terrible and would cost a fortune to correct. NP would be $6k tops.

Since they miss 95% of such objects that just means there are a lot more guns on airplanes than you realize and it really isn’t an issue.

• Train service is worse. Both in getting tickets and the travel experience.

There is some truth to that but the bigger issue is that in an electric car the motor isn’t necessarily the differentiator to the customer. The motor might end up being a fairly interchange composite made by a general supplier, like many transmissions are now. But still, like transmissions now, that doesn’t mean…
