I travel out of here weekly and don’t really have issues. Anytime I can leave home an hour, hour and a half before my flight and make it to the airport, through security, and to the terminal with time to spare is a win for me.

Voted care and drive an M45 and Golf R. Any improvement in the looks of a car, be it a family sedan or sports coupe, is a plus for everyone else. I may not drive it but it would get me to at least look into it and see if it’s something to recommend for family when they inquire about a car.

Hopefully it’s livable back here now. I remember seeing this at the dealer and there was almost no rear legroom before

Exterior looks fantastic but this is a letdown in the layout. Still looks nice but just not as sharp as the exterior.

It’s not used daily but in my case, I have to adjust the seat a few times a year. We take quite a few roadtrips and that requires re-adjusting of the seat.

This looks fantastic. They’ve really continued to improve since the CTS release.

Horn loaded speakers, like Klipsch’s, generally bring out the inconsistencies and bad audio when listening to it. Unless you have a really bad recording, I doubt you’d hear the difference. 192kbps or better is fine for me. I’m not that finicky with music.

Saw some in Europe this past winter. They look horrible

Was thinking exactly this. My cousin did Vietnam reverse of what Top Gear did and said it was amazing. Still one of the best specials, if not the best.

45k seems very high since the Golf R tops out around 39k iirc. Also, while you can build a base Focus to be faster, it will never be AWD and the amount of money to switch it to an AWD platform wouldn't make sense. Similar arguments go for the GTI vs R. You can esily tune a GTI to make the same if not more power than…

I tried to watch it while flying from US to Poland but had to turn it off 20 minutes into watching the movie. They were trying too hard and reusing a lot of the old phrases unnecessarily. Maybe it's just that I compare it to the old TMNT shows and movies (though those weren't the best but not as bad as this one) but I…

Wow. It's a schooner.

Drive the Golf R. It's an S3 in hatch and manual form, well once they start selling the R with a manual :D

Not from my side. I know exactly why I take a RWD or AWD car for a DD. Not all of us can have two cars so we make due with one at times. Last I checked, jalopmobile was a brown, diesel, stickshift wagon with RWD.

try driving a 300+ hp FWD car and utilize all of that power without spinning the wheels. After years of driving FWD cars (Sentras, Altima, Eclipse, Corollas), I'll stick with RWD and AWD as they are a better platform for power delivery without spinning tires, on a whole have better limits for handling (yes I know you…

06 M45. bought in early 09 and still driving it. Used it for two winters with winter tires and no issues. survived through two Chicago blizzards, two roadtrips to ski in Colorado, a trip to FL, and multiple trips around midwest. Went to test drive a GTI and that FWD made me cross it off the list as soon as I drove off…

but but but...that FWD :(

Toyota crossbred a Camry and a Highlander and somehow made a car more boring than both. I can't hate Toyota for not making a Camry wagon, since you know, they want to sell cars, but damn is this dull. We're willing to strip its citizenship (it's built in Kentucky), denaturalize it, and send it away.

almost 6k miles and new doesn't match. Slightly used is more like it but still a great deal.

Let's compare that top speed to similar competitors: the 2015 Volkswagen Golf R will do up to 155 MPH, as does the Seat Leon Cupra 280. The current front-wheel drive Nürburgring champion, the Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy-R, will do 158 MPH. So if Honda's claim is true, the Civic Type R will be capable of significantly…
