Wait - wait - wait. No one else caught on to Kenneth apparently having new/bad credit, and here he is unloading a new car a little over a year after buying it, in hopes of upgrading to something at a $60k price point? No red flags there?

And if you needed “credit building” maybe your budget shouldn’t be $60,000!

Credit building sounds like a load of nonsense, but this sure doesn’t seem like the way to build it. Why not just keep driving this perfectly decent, virtually brand new Buick?

Honda hasn’t made anything that I would want to buy in decades.

As one of the Canadian commenters here, good.

We became “not so nice” after your last POTUS kept shitting on us.

He is going to plead he has Affluenza and can’t be held responsible like that other little dipshit that killed people with his car in Texas

The irony is that modern cars can shake off impacts that would destroy older vehicles. Yeah, they crumple bad in serious accidents, but fender benders just deform stuff that was meant to deform anyway - the important bits are fine.

Too lazy to look, but there’s a great (horrifying) video of a crash test between a 60's Impala and a late model Cruze.

You are wasting fuel (and needlessly increasing emissions). Unless you need time to defog your windows, start driving immediately after starting the car. The car will warm up faster with driving. Just keep the RPM low for the first minute or so if you’re concerned with stressing the motor.

I can’t comment for mileage, but I can tell you that I still very much feel the power drain with AC on.  That probably has most to do with a lack of power generally. 

“Pickups are good in the snow.”

-Premium gas providing any benefit in engines not designed for it.

Exactly. This article would make sense if names like Norris, Russell, Hamilton, and Verstappen were moving to Indy, but c’mon, the drivers listed in the article aren’t fleeing F1 because they want to, they’re fleeing because they aren’t good enough to get a seat.

Uhhhhhhh ... what?

What an uninformed article. Do you even watch F1 and keep up to date with the driver market?

Yea this article mentions other reasons for why this didn’t sell in the US:

I predict that this will be the first obituary posted here that won’t have a single comment lamenting its departure from the market.

The GTI is under $30k and has a nice interior. It also drives well and is comfortable. I would say it’s far from overrated.

Nice interiors are important because I have to sit in it all the time. I don’t want to sit somewhere that I don’t enjoy for hours on end.
