Who said anything about renting? You already own two vehicles. Just swap one of them for something weighing less than 3k lbs and gets over 32 mpg highway. You’ll thank us in the end because you’ll save money, gas, and have more fun driving at the same time if you choose something like a Miata or a BRZ.

I agree it all comes down to priorities. If money was the only priority we could all take the bus. But ignoring that, let’s talk numbers since you’re interested. I paid cash for the flock, don’t even get me started on the stupidity of financing or leasing. Here are the purchase costs for three of my vehicles.

In my experience, I see people go buy $50K+ luxury sedans and SUVs attempting to find that swiss army knife of fun, performance, and utility. 

You already own two vehicles. It seems they were apparently both bought with the same intention: To drive the whole family. So I’m assuming the reason was either for convenience, or personal preference.

I assume you are driving yourself and your whole family to work everyday.

The bigger problem is that people try to get one vehicle to fit all their needs. Example: Someone has 3 kids and thinks they need to drive themself to work everyday in an Expedition because they’ll need the space on weekends for family outings.

I think I’ll get one in a couple of years when the depreciation kicks in, but otherwise I completely agree with you about this. It’s the quirky, versatile, good looking, luxury wagon I’ve always wanted.

Also, Tom doesn’t much care for videos at 240p. Can you see to it that the internet adopts 1080p as a minimum standard? Thanks, Jason.

Untrue Fact: Chrysler Sebrings are all recycled from Buick Le Sabres that were given back to dealerships by frustrated owners.

Because his actual hand is embarassingly small

To those who say this Citroën driver got lost, all I have to ask is, “what the hell kind of detour did the losers of the race take?”

Would be nice if they accidentally installed the X5 M motor.

I guess you wrote this article yesterday and had somebody else hit the “publish” button this morning at 8:30am

Fuck this story and its clickbait headline. Really? This is where you draw the line with Trump? This is his worst tweet ever? All journalistic credibility lost.

I’m pretty sure the vandal was applying “illegal” to describe that yellow paint color.

Tom is absolutely right. Subaru is the only choice given her criteria. I think it just comes down to the Impreza or the Forester. It’s really just a preference of how high to sit and how much visibility and cargo she wants.

Oh to see inside the mind of an internet writer.

That’s what makes it such a great example. It is completely stupid and yet is a marketing marvel, mainly because it was first to market in the European WTF? segment.

First of all, thank you for researching these mundane factoids of the auto industry. It’s very fascinating and this is a topic that has bothered me also.
