Um, I think you mean Dunder-Mifflin syndrome BRAD. /S

They CAN make good oil. And if they are a decent company they only make decent standards adhering products.

Element FTW

Last year I paid about $5.5k for my 07, AWD, auto with an immaculate service history and practically new tires and brakes. With over 250k. Had it a year, and only failure so far is an axle snapped, looks like it was OEM.

I think you have this confused with a different vehicle. People live in these. I own one and it's bigger on the inside. 

She clearly states she is style conscious. 

Its an Elements baby brother.

Defenestrate? Have a star.

I like “honest”. It’s not clad in plastic bodywork, or rich Corinthian leather, or swathed in fancy pants electronics... An honest car is true to it’s purpose as a transportation device. My Honda Element is honest. My Fit is just a little less so, with it’s rear spoiler, but still basically a sensible meeting of form…

What makes the AWD special?

Way smaller in tbe ways that matter.  We cross shopped with the Fit. 

Black with black steelies?

I think you might be in the wrong place.

It’s actually cut a little fast for me. The song is frenetic enough to carry energy through some slightly longer takes.

The answer is Honda Element.

Rude AND unhelpful. Well done sir.

Pilot underneath but same idea.

So care to rudely explain? Edit: rereading the thread I’m not “the friend” but I’d love to hear a true expert explain, if it’s not just normalizing crash rates for differing numbers of vehicles on the road. And adjusting for age, repair costs...

Needs to have all the features and personality of the Element, and they’ll have my money.

Having more of them on the road doesn’t mean there will be more of them in crashes in the way that would/should raise rates.
