Kyle Long’s 1966 Volvo 122S wagon would be cool enough on its own, given that he swapped in the more modern…
My wife’s Cayenne has 130K miles and I’m willing to buy her a Macan if I can have the Cayenne. It’s nit the rocket that the Macan is, but it’s the only full size SUV I’ve ever driven with sports sedan handling.
Lol, the Macan is plenty roomy and runs like a bat out of hell, and for only $50K. The Cayenne drives like a sports sedan and has even more storage. Both have excellent quality, great suspensions, incredible brakes and fantastic steering feel. And they weigh hundreds of pounds less than competitors, making them…
I got a macan s 2 months ago and I like it a bunch. The appeal is that it feels german in all the most important ways when driving, has a great interior (if youre not obsessed with screens), car seats fit fine but yea its not a family hauler.. I didnt want another sedan, cant put my kids in a coupe, would feel like I…
I can at least say it’s a million times better to drive than the Cayenne; which (when I test drove both) is NOT a nimble-feeling car and rattles like a 1992 Suburban.
Can someone please explain the Macan to me? It’s tiny, has little room for passengers, and even less for stuff. I mean, it’s a vehicle that takes the “U’ out of “SUV”. And for the privilege of owning this thing we get to spend as much as the GDP of some third world country! And yet, here in Southwest Ct,. they are…
Don’t US laws require the reflectors? You’re probably comparing a Euro Spec against a US Spec model.
Are we sure it isn’t a $950 factory-delete option?
Hate this shit. Back in the day graffiti writers were excited when their work got up in films or whatever. Now you got these “street artists” commissioned and paid to do work in public spaces who then feel like they own the copyright to that public space.
Years ago I went for a test drive in a straight shift 1976 BMW 2002. The salesman got in the driver’s seat and I in the passenger. He started it up, revved the engine, threw it into gear, and stepped on the gas, hard. The ar leaped forward- maybe fourteen inches, into the building. The gear he put it into was first...
Buyer -I was 18, going around to all the low end dealerships in town looking for something dirt cheap. Get the keys to a jeep cherokee, start driving down the street. Within 30 seconds it starts hailing so hard it was like snow. I try to use the brakes...and they do nothing except shake the front end violently. The…
I was in high school and older brother wanted me to give a second opinion on a used Altima. We go in and salesman brings out the keys and a gas card since the tank was low.
Worst test drive ever was after the drive actually. I had just pulled back up to the dealership after test driving a 1992 Chevy Beretta GT and we were just about to sit down when I looked outside because I heard the beeping of a truck backing up. I screamed “NO” and ran outside as I watched another salesperson back a…
When I first started selling, some guy asked to test drive the new v6 camry. Cool, whatever, it’d be great to sell the first loaded v6 we got in of the new body style. Our GM had also promised an extra $500 to the salesperson who sells it, so I was eager to snag that.
Had a guy when I first started selling come in to look at a used Civic. He told me he wanted the cheapest certified car we had on the lot. I asked him if he wanted manual or auto, he said “CHEAPEST!” so I showed him the manual Civic which was a nice little car with decent mileage and a small claim. I asked him again…
I used to work in a Mercedes dealer where one night a gentleman came in to test drive a new CLA250. The salesman was still relatively new at the time and went out for the test drive with this person. About half hour later the salesman walks into the sales office in tears. We asked what he happened, only to find the…
When I bought my first VW, my dad and I (then 19) were interested in a 1995 Jetta. The salesman gave us the keys and told us to take it for a drive ourselves (???) so we did. The gas light was on but we thought it would have enough gas for a quick spin around the block.
Test drove a Turbo MR2 one day. I go into the first corner, not pushing it at all and find out that the outside rear shock is completely dead. Yeah, in an early year 2nd gen MR2. Hello snap oversteer. Do you know how hard it is to save a car when some fat dude is screaming and trying to grab you from the passenger…
