Its a nice car, but you’ll have to Let It Bleed your bank account dry when it comes to maintenance.

My first accident was a couple of days ago. I was driving along a country road, on a straight section. On this straight bit of road, there is a junction, which joins onto the road I was on. I was doing the speed limit (60mph), and about half a second before I pass that junction, a car slowly pulls into my lane, giving…
I find that quite surprising, given that most modern Audi’s have their engines ahead of the front wheels, and are less reliable than BMW in terms of both mechanical parts and electrical components.
Probably a blue E34 BMW 525i that my mothers friend owned. It was so much cooler than the Fiats that my parents had.
Does anyone know if the new Focus has been homologated for the US market yet? If it has, you could just import one.
Its a good car in good condition, sure, but is far too expensive. At the end of the day, its just an aging regular car.
A few days after passing my driving test, I decided to go see if I could rent out an exotic car. The only car I could afford was an S197 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 (its considered exotic in the UK, where I live). I immediately decided the best thing to do with it was a track day, despite the heavy rain. Obviously, it was a…
Here’s another interesting fact about the Honqi limo- while all other luxury cars of the period had ultra-light power steering, the Honqi had no power steering at all, not even the armoured version. I can only imagine how heavy the steering would be.
As of 2018, a car from the 80's is generally more reliable than a 2012 car on average. This is because the only 80's cars left are well-maintained cars which were properly built in the first place, cars like a BMW E30 or Mercedes-Benz W126 (Chevy Chevettes are pretty much extinct now). Buy one of those cars now, and…
Controversial opinion: Any post-2012 Tesla. Luxury cars used to be about the comfort of the car, the ride quality, how nice the leather was, how nice the wood trim was. Then Tesla came along with the Model S, with a giant screen (full of functions which should be controlled with buttons) to distract you from the fact…
Electric cars go wrong frequently. After 100k miles, the battery packs usually need replaced, and motors made by Tesla have been known to fail within the first two years.
Look. While alcohol may technically be a recreational drug, the implication is that recreational drug means illegal drug. That’s why the article says “Mr Musk has on occasion used recreational drugs” instead of writing that he occasionally drinks.
BMW 3 Series Wagon for me please
Components of cars fail, its a fact of life. If my power steering fails, I can still steer, it just requires more effort. But if power steering in an autonomous vehicle fails, it crashes? No thanks.
When it comes to the environment, politicians don’t care about helping. They only care about looking as if they’re helping.
For fast driving, Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Musk has stated in the past that he believes in a future where no cars are sold with pedals or steering wheels. For this reason, among others, I sincerely hope Tesla disappears, the sooner rather than later.
Most Tesla Model 3's will become beaters before they even finish their lease. Its a new-age AMC Gremlin/ Pacer
The best safety system is a good driver.
As a fellow Brit, I can verify that this is 110% accurate. On country roads, people slow down to 30mph to go around a corner that can be taken 50mph. Often they brake sharply in the middle of corners, causing them to oversteer, which most people here are seemingly unable to deal with.
