I rarely say this, but good riddance. These just aren't goid cars. And I REALLY like the abarth, but i could still never justify buying it.  Even the 500e looks like it'll be shit value. 

The infotainment still has haptic buttons. Why are so many people overlooking that?

I have a couple of decent to good dealerships in my area. Here's to hoping they don't give me a hard time. This was my first new car and I really want the peace of mind for a long time with it.

Yeah, im not too worried about my car. It doesn’t have brand-new componenets so I'd like to believe these things were tested properly. I was just hoping I was supporting a good car company but I guess most of them are shit. I also don't know if id be happy with anything else for the price. 

Damn it now i feel bad getting an Elantra N

Im gonna say Mazda. Sure, any company can make an overpriced supercar with 1,000 hp, but there's something inherently cool about a small car company bucking trends in the rest of the automotive industry and paying attention to details and quality. Every mazda out now has a near-luxury level interior, good value, and…

Please don’t get a pre-2013 GTI. Too many issues on them, not great as a reliable daily driver unless the waterpump and chain tensioner have been replaced.

Generally yeah they’re not but it depends on alot of factors.a simple two way signalized intersection is safer for pedestrians all the time. But most american intersections are huge and complicated, so they're still not great

After doing everything it can to make its cars unappealing to everybody, they decide to advertise it to a major video game with one of the youngest player bases in the industry? Wtf?

Adding a full size spare doesn’t hurt any of those things that badly. My mk6 gti didn’t have a full size spare but it was still a real 205 section tire that could be used for normal driving and was a steel wheel. You can still save money and space but put a real tire on the wheel and have it work alot better. 

This seems to be less the fault of the spare and driving the car on the highway, and more that this guy drove aggressively and recklessly with one. Its impractical on most highways to stay below 50 in any vehicle, and if you install your spare properly, you can comfortably keep up with the slowest free-flow traffic,…

This take always misses the fundamental problem in the United States. The reason we have right turn on red as a default but that’s not the case in Europe is that intersections where turning right on red can be save here in the states would be roundabouts in Europe, where you don’t have to stop if there’s no one in the…

I think the Integra or civic hatch is a great choice for anybody wanting a crossover. The civic especially has more room than most subcompacts on the market but gets way better fuel economy than any of them. 

As correct as that is, this is a nightmare situation this guy put himself in. With 120k of household income this dude couldn't spend $5k in cash on a beater? He couldn't avoid an insane 24% interest rate? 

I think the automakers are overreacting. 2035 is more in line for the rest of the world and given the UK's energy troubles, it makes sense. EVs will still be a critical market by 2030. That being said, i can understand this being the tip of the iceberg of governments just not meeting any climate goals.

A note about the doors, this is yet another example of Tesla overcomplicating things that do not need and shouldn’t need to be. Pressing an electronic button to open a DOOR is unacceptable and should be illegal. If you ever find yourself in a car with electronic door releases, IMMEDIATELY find out how to override…

Thank GOD they’re keeping the physical climate controls. 

No? If i let someone borrow my car, i can't control whether or not they'll break traffic rules or run over a mailbox. The driver is ALWAYS responsible.

Also its florida. He couldn't find a highway or straight country road nearby?

Again with this assumption that before EVs we bought exactly what we wanted and not something that was made available to us after regulations, business decisions and market forces.
