My concern with buying any ICE or hybrid car these days is that you’re buying in to a dying technology, and 10 or 12 years from now it won’t be operable when you can’t find any gas stations. But there aren’t enough EV’s available (especially without massive dealer markups) to make buying one a good idea right now.…

Remember when GM used to put needlessly hot engines in crappy econoboxes, like the Saturn Ion Red Line and the Chevy Cobalt SS? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Was going to post this; this has to be the absolute winner.

I’m sorry your mom went through that. In my experience, when I go in to an independent mechanic and say something like “my window switch isn’t working,” they’ll fix the window switch. But if I take it to a dealer, they’ll fix the window switch, and also tell me I need new brake pads and rotors, and a new engine air…

1) The Coyote engine is designed to use premium but will take regular; in my car, it makes 435 hp on premium but only 431 on regular, so I always try to use premium.

Where else would I take it for service? If I can’t fix it myself, I take it to the dealer. I don’t know what a “code scanner” is; I don’t do much wrenching on these new cars with the digital. General rule of thumb is that if a car is new enough to have fuel injection instead of carbs, it’s too complex for me, so it's s…

I’ve only ever had my cars serviced at the dealer, except for oil changes.

My check-engine light just came on on my almost-8-year-old Mustang, and for a moment I thought “oh no” and then I realized that whatever it is that needs fixing will be cheaper than getting a new car I have to make payments on.

The ultimate solo road trip car as long as you don’t care about the price of gasoline. NP all day every day assuming that the mechanicals work.

The only 2-door Mini Cooper available is a hatchback. Mini Cooper stopped making the Mini Cooper Coupe for the 2015 model year.

I would simply choose not to own a first-gen German fancy technology car that will be out of warranty before you can say “wait HOW MUCH does that cost?”

Here is the entire list of 2-door, FWD coupes you can buy new in America today:

2 seat roadsters. It seems like an absolute no-brainer to make a small electric skateboard platform for small cabins so that people can commute around in a vehicle that should still get decent range even with a smaller battery because it’s small and lightweight. 

The average age of cars on the road will not be 12 years in 2035. Pretty soon -- within the next 5 years -- banks are going to stop offering loans on new ICE cars. Gasoline stations are going to start closing. Parts suppliers are going to start closing up shop. And ICE cars are going to start becoming as useless as…

Ok, but, like, compare it to private jets. There’s a market for jet fuel refining and distribution through airports. In 2040 how are you going to be able to get gasoline? Have it shipped to your house one 40-gallon drum at a time? Who’s going to be supporting the petroleum refining necessary to sustain that as a…

Where are you going to find a gas station when all of the cars on the road electric? Why would petroleum companies continue to refine consumer gasoline?

Hybrids won’t be viable because gasoline supply won’t be a thing. Paris has already shown that it’s feasible to implement relatively strict age limits to force older cars off the road; if they’re ceasing sales of ICE cars by 2035, expect to see the end of gasoline sales in the EU by 2040. 

I’ve put 85k miles on my 2015 GT. My suspension probably could use a good once-over since I’ve daily driven it in NYC, but other than that it’s mechanically perfect. These are just great drivers’ cars.

This is a screaming deal and I legitimately cannot understand what people voting ND are thinking.

It’s all about size; LS is easier to fit in a wider range of engine bays than Coyote engines. 2011-2017 Coyote engines are 100% reliable — once they introduced port injection for the 2018 model year there were some minor issues with the fuel injection system but nothing serious. And you can easily tune Coyotes for…
