I would wait a bit and get a Civic Hatchback Hybrid for EVERY north American Household in my extended family on both parents’ side, as well as for some friends. We all have too many CUVs. This comes out to about 20 (I’m south asian). I would then buy every 992 Porsche 911 (GTS’s & GT3's will be manuals), a rwd R8, any…

I don’t understand though. Does a rear differential take up so much more room than rear suspension in a FWD car? Having a longitudinal engine would certainly add a few inches to the length but I don’t think cargo room should take such a hit. The 3 series is about an inch longer than most FWD compact sedans in the U.S.…

I can’t believe the 1 series is that impractical.

Any Mk5-MK8 Gti . They’re big enough to hold any bike inside, 4 (maybe more *wink) passengers, and even small furniture. If I need more room, which I don’t often, I’ll rent a van. I do tell people though that a civic hatchback, which is way bigger, is good enough for them versus a CUV. But the GTI’s my answer…

Yeah, a telluride drives like a top heavy CUV. No I haven’t driven a Telluride specifically, but I have driven a pilot, traverse, Grand Cherokee and MDX, and the first three have been established to not drive as well as the telluride. Minivans don’t handle very well. I’ve driven Siennas and Odesseys. They’re not as…

Holy shit PGR4

What about driving these vehicles have I gotten wrong in my comment. Does more than 5% of the population benefit from having a body on frame car? Are taller vehicles better for daily street driving than shorter ones?

What’s your actual issue here? The telluride definitely handles better than the entire minivan segment and it can do offroading as demonstrated in this article. Having a real truck platform doesn’t benefit 95% of the car buying population whatsoever. Grow up. The real problem in the car industry as a whole is tall,…

If people are actually living on those roads, with their houses close enough to the roads for the speed on them to be an issue, it’s probably not a rural road, which is why I specified that. The building of houses on arterial roads is a separate issue.

Having driven around the GTA and metro Vancouver, enforcement isn’t that much stricter than throughout the U.S.

Rural country roads, something that is very common in Norway, should just not have a speed limit. Of course, a lot of these roads in Norway aren’t even properly divided with a line, so I guess maybe not but as a principle, if there is no incoming traffic or Suprise obstacle, good drivers don’t need a limit.

We need more people with this outlook in life, too many people are picky with what they experience and what they bother to know. But I value when people are open to new and different things. 

I hate this. For one, speed is always a factor. Every accident would be less fatal or dangerous at lower speeds, it doesn’t matter what that speed is. We determine whether or not speed is a factor based off speed limits, which are broken most of the time everywhere in the western world. It’s all subjective. We need to…

Jesus, only 15mph? Free-flow traffic on most rural roads and interstates are 15mph above the speed limit. 

Why did you find this to be a relevant joke?

Ok but turning right on red is generalized in these discussions and no one talks about the very basic core issue. 

OH WOW I DIDN’T RELALIZE OH THANKS

This idiotic. If there are enough pedestrians or bicyclists anywhere, they need a safe place to travel on. Like in an urban area, most, or at least a huge percentage of people will be on bicycles and scooters or their feet and what not. Should they not use streets? Should they not be able to use them safely? Obviously…

The real problem with this entire thing is that in the United States, alot of intersections that should be roundabouts are instead poorly programmed signal-controlled intersections. In Europe, most intersections where turning right on red would be perfectly safe are just roundabouts. Traffic lights are only used when…

I hope Germany and the EU exiles the people responsible for that interior. It (and the fact that mk8s are nearly impossible to find in Jersey) was a dealbreaker for me.
