    This was my first car as a hand me down from my parents. A 1989 Dynasty LE with the 3.0 V6 Mitsubishi. Not a terrible car as I remember as 16y old driver, except there was no CD/tape player (only a radio). Was reasonable fast... Could smoke the tires, but tires squealed around every corner - no matter how fast you…

    Except on the Honda you still can’t get leather with the 6 speed manual due to their zero option models..... This is the only reason I’m driving a VW and not a Honda.

    Why is this a question? It sells because it is cheap. It is likely the cheapest “new” 3 row SUV that is sold. Some would prefer a new vehicle over a (better long term value) used one.

    When will we expect to see GAC signs up at our local CDJR dealers?

    I bought a new VW GLI this year... Not because I specifically like or trust VW, but because they offered a car that met my requirements when very few else would: Manual trans, Leather (actually not leather but decent vinyl), four doors, and V6 or turbo 4 >200 hp.

    Any body want a basically new crossfire?.... Only $20k. Not a SRT-6, but hey, it has a manual trans going for it. Not sure why any body thought this could be an “investment” and parked it for the last 11 years.

    Also. Honda’s don’t have options. You only get to choose the model and color. For the 2018 Accord: LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, & Touring models.

    Only the sport comes with the manual trans... no leather.

    You could, but you have to settle for a low optioned model. As far as I know Honda won’t build an accord with a manual trans that anybody really wants... I want leather.

    Ha! that’s what I did for the collector edition tie fighter (Lego 7181) I purchased roughly around 2000-2002. Sold it in 2015 unopened (but in beat up box) on ebay for $800... Not too bad of an investment for a $75 clearance item at ToysRus.

    I put 125k on my 2012 civic - with the original brakes on all 4 corners....

    read the bottom of the plate. Manufacturer.

    I wanted to like it...... But a test drive said otherwise.... Just 30 seconds in, I knew this wasn’t the car for me. I just couldn’t get over the seats (where I would spend two hours a day on my commute). The seat design did not consider anyone over 200 lbs.

    I just picked up a new 2017 GLI for about $5k under sticker.....And that was the advertised price with no negotiations (though I had to travel 150 miles, as my local dealer wouldn’t match the price).

    Scrap’em. I need a cheap set of 16" or 17" wheels with some snow tires for my GLI.

    I had the TIPM replaced twice in my 2009 Ram 1500. Once because the dealer couldn't diagnose a faulty rear wheel speed sensor (fixed under warranty) and was just throwing parts at it, and a second time at 60K miles when my AC compressor blew up and the TIPM wouldn't let the compressor shut off when the AC was off. …
