My issue is that I don’t give a jack about the integra because its slow, so I’m now looking at it as a normie car, and in that case it fairs pretty poorly outside of its base trim, compared not only to the entry level luxury segment, which crucially now includes the Mazda 3 IMHO, but also “non-luxury” cars like the…

Yeah I don’t know about the methodology here. I feel like infotainment issues should be downgraded in comparison with mechanical ones (unless the infotainment stupidly includes critical vehicle functions), and many mfr’s get hit hard in these rankings due to them. However I have no idea for the life of me what issues…

It may have close to the same power but it’s slower than every car in the segment. The A3, 228, A250, Mazda 3 turbo all do 0-60 in the low 6's or less. Any performance sedan at this price is way faster.

Auto mfr’s overestimate 0-60 times. This thing will do it in 7.0. It will still get burned by an Odyssey and moreseo the Pilot. This powertrain is still pretty ass for the price, especially in CVT form.

I’ve tried it and its dog shit. I change my vent positions multiple times on a car trip. If I can easily change a setting, I want it to remain easy even if automating it is possible. 

I bought an Elantra N instead because of it. I gave up the hatch and the better fuel economy. The GTI is a better car overall but there is no way in hell I'm paying for that war crime of an interior. 

Mk8 GTI. They took a decent car, the mk7, and fixed its only problem, which was its at-limit performance. And then? They flood the interior with a horrible UI and capacitive touch buttons. VW spent hundreds of millions making one of the worst car interiors in the industry, all while other vehicles in their lineup,…

I need to make sure. Why isn’t the 918 the first car to pair a naturally aspirated engine with electric AWD?

TYPO, its 4,567

Its a typo. Its actually 4,567 lbs.

You would pay an additional 10 to 15 THOUSAND for wireless phone mirroring? This thing starts at below 50k. 

Hopefully not too many given that fusion’s a thing now

There is still a use for the front hood. It’s the same reason mid & rear engined cars have an “engine bay” as well. You need space for the front wheels, front axle, suspension and steering, as well as a crumple zone. You look at ANY vehicle that doesn’t have a front hood, it either still does but with a super raked…

The Civic hatch is by far the best car in this segment, if not for anything else the space. 

The portrait-mounted infotainment screen is nice

Civic Hatchback. Easy. 

Its handsome but pretty plain looking. It looks like you couldn’t recognize it from more than 100ft away. If they put this face on the current Accord, that would be awesome.

My guy, you will realize that there are things that are too big the tiguan as well. Then you’ll say that you should’ve bought an Atlas. 

Ok my point is that its cheap? You can get one new and with leather for just over $28k and there are a BILLION in my area.
