Figure the G70 will be around that price, right? Audi S3 or a stripped RS3 would be a good car. You can fit two kids in the back - three if you really need to and still have a nice compact vehicle. (Disclosure: I have an ‘18 RS3 that replaced my ‘17 Focus RS buyback).

You could probably find a lightly used Chevy SS if…

Looks better than it’s Kia twin, the Stinger. I can’t get behind the taillight design on the Kia. I’m too lazy to do a cost comparison but I’d be interested to know the range between the different models.

I just couldn’t do it... it was a fun car, but it’s big, the taillights are eh, and it’s big.... You do get some great features and a lot of bang for your buck, but can you rely on the first real performance KIA? 

They just seem a little low to me - I like the idea, but why do you want to put your head down and eyes off the road? There’s enough real estate on a large car like this to put them in the bottom left and bottom right corners of the wind shield. With the technology that they have today, they can be like a HUD and you…

2000 on a 150000 plus vehicle is nothing and 99.9% of owners are not doing it to spite the rest of us. If we want to go down this rabbit hole then we should all be driving Taupe Ladas......

We dont have free trade. A free trade market would have zero tariffs and a free flow of goods between markets. We have done an excellent job of allowing others to protect their interests at the expense of ours. So either create proper free trade agreements or create a tariff system that benefits our interests.

The RS3 and TTRS wheels are wonderful. Better than the modern m3 which looks vaguely similar to that 325ci wheel

Never played that one but I have tried to play Democracy 3 on Steam. It’s an unwinnable game where you’re usually assassinated by one group or another. I had better luck with Master of Orion....

I didn’t know the m2 and this were so close in horsepower. I guess that’s why the next m2 is 405..... They almost had me sold but I just couldn’t do 2 doors and expect to shuttle around a couple clients.

Don’t forget that Genesis has two, maybe three cars now.... that really simplifies the problem situation. I like the Genesis brand though even though they were a little bland to look at. 

Too bad they didn’t ask me about my RS..... (still in the buyback process, but they’ll enjoy getting it back)

My Focus RS..... though it wont be mine much longer since it is being bought back. A blast to drive but not put together as well as it should be. 66 days in the shop in 7 months of ownership and still needs to be repaired.

I usually have a good two year run before I get a little car fever (beyond the normal car fever). I had my work truck the longest, but after that it was a furious upgrade from F150 - CX5 - GC Altitude - GC SRT - and RS.

I’m a little tired of the RS being in the shop for as long as it has. It’s spent 1/7th of it’s life…

I would show you a picture my RS but it is still in the shop......

Interesting - we ran into a similar situation for one of our kids but I was more impressed with my daughters selflessness in the situation. The girl loves to share and she loves making friends - she never saw a problem in it.

Never ever heard of a fried bologna sandwich being ghetto....grew up with them. Heck, would roll up a piece of bologna with mustard or salt too. My father lived off them through his youth and tainted his families perception of it so bad that my wife refuses to even try it. Missing out is all I say.....

Sure do enjoy my Focus RS..... been thinking it might be worthwhile to keep rather than trade it in when I get “the itch”.... great little vehicle with a low total sales numbers... and I guess the last of it’s kind for America. =(

It’s not like the Lancer name is great by itself... should we not be more worried if they wanted to make a Mitsu EVO sport that ended up being a city car?

I am not part of the nra, find most of your ideas reasonable, but having the government create one more database that could be used for ill purposes certainly concerns me..... when you start talking in absolutes then maybe you are part of the problem?

Took the car in for two days to do the tests and only needed a head gasket. Instead of leaving the car there while the parts came in, I took the car back and drove around for about 3 days of waiting. It took another four days to install and test...... so figure a proper week. The dealership gave me a loaner for both…
