If you really need a 3rd row vehicle, save yourself the hassle and buy the damn minivan.

Perception.

Someone forgot the sliding doors on their minivan..........

Who’s got the hood scoop on the Volvo?

Split open my old Chrysler 3.0 (mitsu 6g72) before putting it in my car. At 205k, it still looked almost new inside. Factory honing on the cylinder walls, no scoring on the bearings or journals. Replaced all the seals and put it back together.

Fixing everything wrong with the car will still be cheaper than buying a new car.

Depends how it’s used and how it’s maintained.

Looks in driveway at 225k mile Plymouth, 160k mile Plymouth and 150k mile Ford.........

The original Ultradrive 4 speed automatic is one example. If you put in dextron instead of ATF+3, it would lead to bad results. And apparently it was initially written in owners manuals that Dextron could be used.

When there is a consensus that an engine it terrible, it’s probably terrible.

3k oil changes with full synthetic and timing set at 80k?

False.

Because shaving a couple hundred pounds off an already overweight slob makes much difference..........

And turbos make fantastic power *under boost.

False.

Because a truck is far more useful and gets the same/better mileage than most CUV/SUVs?

Craigslist ad:

Unless it can pull 24 mpg towing a 3 place snowmobile trailer with 3 sleds, color me unimpressed.

I’ll believe it when I drive one.

I feel like a 2014 V6 should be able to do way better than 20 mpg.
