There are PLENTY of bro stance tuners in the WRX and 350/370Z crowd, too. Just sayin’.

I'm going to be selling my '08 STI very soon. I would replace it with this if I could.

Yeah, no LED tails for the Golf R here, at least not for '15. No multiport injection for the motor, no optional upgraded touchscreen/audio system, no optional adaptive cruise control, no power folding mirrors... and I'm probably missing a few more on that list. There's also the case of our cheapened Jettas and

Same here, but at least the car is something very unique and unexpected, unlike the overwhelming number of Nissan S-chassis and Mustangs in the US series.

I think the biggest amount of hate is due to the fact that our VW models are still a bit watered down here compared to their Euro counterparts. Yes, they're cheaper overall, but a lot of people want ALL the niceties, or at least the option to get them, especially on the higher end models (i.e. no LED tails or large

I understand the MQB platform and the like. The biggest difference in the US is that most of those other vehicles aren't sold here. And when the different variants of the Golf and Jetta can get pretty much the same drivetrain options, there isn't much need to steal to swap parts over (as opposed to, say, a USDM '95

Yeah, I'm aware with that about the Golf and the Jetta sharing some parts. But do they share parts across generations as well? The thing with Hondas is that it is relatively simple to bolt on engines, transmissions, hub assemblies, etc., from a late '90s Civic/Integra into an early '80s Civic/Integra. THAT'S the

Probably because there are/were tens to hundreds of thousands of older Civics and Integras across multiple generations that can be had for a very low cost of entry over the years, all of which can easily interchange many parts with minimal to no modifications. And also, let's not forget the "regular" Hondas, like

Tell that to S2000 owners who still get their seats stolen. Although not as rampant as it was in the '90s and '00s, probably due to the smaller range of platforms that can easily interchange parts nowadays, it's still something to worry about. I still don't think anyone with a DC2 Type R or EM1 Si would be

And that's where the Mini has a real advantage: it feels incredibly fast. I've heard people say this about cars my entire life, and I've never really understood it as much as I did when I was driving the Mini. It doesn't matter how fast the damn thing goes, because getting there is so much fun. You're on top of the

It's a shame BMW decided not to make the current Z4 a proper sports car or at least give it a real M treatment since it's one of the best looking cars in their lineup right now, and even better in widebody GT guise.

It was manual. And in gear. And had a bad clutch switch.

Do you know if the JDM Impreza uses a standard sized double DIN? For the GR, that was the case and getting the JDM AV panel surround got you a properly sized double DIN opening. It's pricier than whatever dash kit you'll get from eBay or Crutchfield but looks infinitely better (or as good as a Subaru could get...

When you think about it, carpet really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be in your car. Sure it looks nice, but why have something in your car that's just going to collect the moisture and crap from your shoes?

That must be one hell of a fire extinguisher. For that kind of money, I wouldn't expect a fire extinguisher to just put out the fire, I'd expect it to capture the fire, re-habilitate it, and train it to be my personal valet. "Fuego, would you mind blackening this catfish for me? Fuego, this wound needs cauterizing —

Makes me wonder if Travis even drove one before (or realizes it's built on the G platform and not an Infiniti Murano, like some people I know). Its shortcomings are pretty much covered in any reviews on this car, i.e. cramped rear seats and thirsty motor, at least on the EX35 with the 5-speed. I've driven these

Has been cool waaaaay before digitisation.

Sorry, but I have to say that you're wrong. As someone who used to own an '02 EP3 from new and was into the Honda scene from the '90s, NO ONE would've been fooled by just slapping on Type R badges and spoilers and calling it a day. The USDM EP3 came right after what would turn out to be Honda's heyday of
