Second this... wondering how easy parts are to come by... All imports I guess? Can get pricey...

<3

Not sure how I feel about it... on one hand racecar, on the other hand, they’ve always had the center mount single wiper resting in the down position and having it perpetually in the up position would irk the hell out of me if I were driving it...

lol so true.

I get comments ALL the time on my 02 how it looks so much newer.

lol +1

#1 is asking quite a lot: add a crapton more complexity and parts to the car for the some purpose to appease to Jalopnik readers (I.e. The only people that would be asking for manuals on EVs). Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE a small manual EV sports car, but I accept realistically the odds are very slim. Check out…

Well said.

I want everything in these “colors”... (Can you call them colors if there’s so many??)

Whoa! That drastically changes the look of the car - in a very good way.
I’ll be honest and say that I think I’ve become numb to the big sliver... thing... on newer Acuras, but seeing it in black makes it looks super clean.

Wow. That’s an incredible model.

Basically, “newer” cars (probably wouldn’t even have to specify newer if this was anywhere but Jalopnik - remember the average age of cars on the road is like 12 years) cut fuel when coasting in gear - the momentum of the car (from the wheels to the transmission to the engine) will keep the engine spinning and…

The point is that what one company can afford to insure you at is not the same as what every company can. What we see as consumers is the product and the (premium) pricing, relatively easy things to compare between quotes. We don’t see the companies’ risk portfolios and that can make a huge difference with…

I think that most people grossly oversimplify insurance.

I understand where you’re coming from but ultimately I think we’re just talking semantics here...

Yeah this is a pretty important distinction...

For curiosity recently, I inquired to see how much I’d save by dropping comprehensive on my 02 Mini - which (to my great disappointment) is not worth on paper much more than $2k... It was something stupidly trivial like $50/year.

I’m really disappointed reading about your disappointment in seeing a 3-door hatch EV finally come to the market - a Mini nonetheless.

Ugh yes.
