Hey David, what’s the deal with the 6spd having such a low towing capacity. I read your article about how they got the automatic up to 7650 lbs and that the diesel will be less due to the intercooler, but there was no mention of why the manual transmission can only tow 4000 lbs. Is it still a matter of cooling, or is…

“Blue Sky”, they own lots of “blue sky”

I’m one of those gearheads that loves cars but has almost no interest in watching racing.Formula 1 was one of those sports that I felt I owed it to myself to get interested in since it’s the pinnacle of automotive racing, but I didn’t want to commit to start getting up in the wee hours of the morning to watch a race…

NP 100%

Why does high beam warning in the instrument cluster need to be so god damn bright? Why can’t it dim with the rest of the backlighting in the cluster. When it gets dark out I dim my gauge backlighting, but then every time I turn my high beams on I have a glaring blue light shining into my eyes. I’ve been tempted to…

$100 a block for expired, inedible cheese?

They could just buy Audi and get four rings for the price of one.

I listed to one Regular Car Review podcast, the one where they’re helping Nick’s mom pick out a new car, and they became hung up on the fact that the light used vehicle sitting on the lot had rusty rotors. I would have figured those guys knew well enough to quickly dismiss that issue, butI believe they were saying…

I didn’t say they don’t deserve a job, I just have a hard time feeling sorry for them when people that are earning much less lose jobs all the time. That being said, as BigBlock440 and Jeff D. pointed out, my calculation didn’t factor in that some of the cost would be tied to insurance, pension, retirement etc. I was…

5th Gear: VW intends to save $6.7B over 5 years by cutting 7000 jobs? That works out to an average yearly salary of $191,429 per worker. Sorry, but I don’t have any sympathy for people making that kind of money losing their jobs.

*cough, cough* flood damage *cough*

That’s an interesting idea, and would allow them to make a large two row crossover to succeed the CX-7 without having to accept the tainted name.

I think they chose the wrong name. Based on the design, I think CX-5 would have been more appropriate.

4th Gear: I’ve lived in Oshawa, just north of the plant, for a year now, and within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) for all my 29 years. While neither myself nor any of my family have worked on the line or experienced their anxiety, I feel the workers should have seen this closure coming and looked for new work while…

$100 says he had them tweak the software so only his player’s profile hits balls that go further and fly straighter than in anyone else’s.

Now that my wife and I have bought our first house, I’ve thought about the possibility of eventually replacing my Mazda 3 commuter car with an EV when its worn out, but I had yet to see an article that actually broke down what it’s like living with one during a Canadian winter. Your article answered a lot of my…

Seconded! I’d like to see something like this but with dark bronze wheels.

The sock hop music playing in the background of that video is an annoying anachronism. If they’re going to be playing old timey music, why not play music from the era these cars were built in, not music that’s 2-3 decades removed.

What took them so long? All they had to do was install two more pistons and connecting rods, the V6 they debuted with already had the same size block as the V8.

Something to keep in mind is that I believe these satisfaction surveys just basically want to know ‘did the car do what you expected it to do?’ So a Mitsubishi Mirage could rank as very satisfying if you went into buying it expecting it to be an incredibly cheap, fuel efficient little econobox that fired up every…
