Make sure to test one with the manual transmission. The CVT is horrible.

Whoa, this was unexpected. :-D

Hahaha, thanks, man. :-) I love Jalopnik, but its population sure is weird sometimes. People hate upon a decent, modern basic compact car but fawn all over a horrible 1970's station wagon with fake wood paneling. Dafuq.

Simplicity, warranty, safety, ridiculously good fuel economy. Nice amenities on basic model (Bluetooth, USB, power windows and mirrors). Good outward visibility (something I *hated* about the Fiesta). Stupidly tight turning circle, nice electric power steering for city driving. Tiny tires that will be cheap to…

Let me see... I recently got myself a 2014 Mirage. Basic model, 5-speed manual, 74 bhp, 74 lb-ft, weighs less than a ton. I should be suffering, right?

I think the historical importance of the Tempo is underrated. I'm dead serious. This car was the first one to bring aerodynamic design and forward-thinking ideas to a car destined for the common person. Now with this car, Joe Middleclass could own a car that offered many design features that were previously seen only…

I think the Sonnet used those too. I know because I used to have a '76 99 EMS.

Adopted San Antonian here, been living here for 7 years. Are you still living in SA, Patrick?

"I just bought a 2-bedroom house, but I think I get to decide how many bedrooms there are, don't you?

"Fuck you, real estate lady! This bedroom has an oven in it! This bedroom's got a lot of people sitting around watching TV. This bedroom's over in that guy's house! Sir, you have one of my bedrooms, are you aware?…

That MR-2 is just... Perfect.

Ha! That GIF has a very satisfying ending. What an asshat.

Looks great! It's the Porsche F-Type.

Odd, but I prefer how it looks in the sketchbook-type renderings. The final design lacks grace and flow on the back. Not a bad-looking car by any means, though!

I'm honestly impressed. This looks fantastic.

Hold on. Do you just open the whole ass end of that Ginetta? Awesome!

Why the Saab 99 EMS wheels?

I think the biggest problem is that the rear side window glass has nowhere to go.

About the children, well... It's *your* duty to teach them things correctly, be it science or anything else. My kids have a deep love of science, and it's not thanks to the school system.

New meaning to the term "information highway", I suppose.

There's a tiny bit of Lancia Delta Integrale in those doors. Hmm. Maybe they could redesign it somewhere along those lines? Cheap transportation with a cool Italian flair.
