Depends on the tune. The Focus ST is tuned within an inch of its life, so I wouldn’t count on reliability, but turbos directed toward the mass market should be reasonably reliable.

Man, there really is a stock photo for everything.
Haven’t heard good things about reliability. They also hold their value, so you might have to wait longer for a 50% price cut.
In all fairness, those Buicks were likely developed by Opel, not the other way around.
Plenty of good turbo options in that price range that will still have power at elevation. FiST, FoST, WRX, and GTI are all solid.
MINI is associated with BMW.
I really like Tesla. The fervent fanboy enthusiasm of this article made me not want to like Tesla.
I like how they are bragging about just barely out accelerating a normally aspirated 944. A 944 Turbo would have been impressive.
Hydrogen can be produced with just electricity and water, so it would be possible for homes or fueling stations to make it on-site, significantly reducing infrastructure requirements. Hydrogen production isn’t as efficient as charging a battery right now, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be a more efficient way to do…
You realize that is just steam coming out of nuclear power plants, right?
That isn’t how bonds (our debt) work. We would have to raise our interest rates a bit to entice other world governments to buy our bonds if China stopped. As the old bonds matured we would sell bonds to others instead of China to pay them off.
Deleting rear seats on a sports car is just a consequence of mid-engine designs. There’s no reason a front-engine sports car needs to lose the rear seats unless it has a crazy short wheelbase.
I know the Bronco I is, but is the Bronco II going up much?
I don’t know about all time great, but in 1984 the Corvette was WAY better looking than everything except exotics.
It’s basically the exact same situation as manual transmissions. Only enthusiast and base models will be autonomous.
Could it be an electrical switch that you’re hearing click, or do you feel the click in the pedal?
I haven’t looked at the numbers, but I know that depreciation is a major concern of McLaren owners in comparison to if they had purchased a comparable Ferrari.
McLarens aren’t investment grade cars except for the P1. One of their biggest problems with getting sales is that they don’t retain value like a Ferrari does. Anybody that buys one is going to drive it because it will depreciate either way.
Porsche is better than most when it comes to availability for old parts. They treat classic parts as a profitable side business instead of an obligation to not piss off customers like most automakers.
