“Also for the record, even with all of these issues and the terrible dealers around here, I still love the car. I just wish it wasn’t such a piece of crap.”

I’ve had mostly Fords in my driving lifetime and I’ve been to at least 4 different dealers of theirs in my region(South of Philly) and I’ve never had experiences like that. I’ve had some mistakes but then the dealers have always addressed them and made it right.

Dude asked for an opinion and the Church of Jalop answered. You got it wrong, the majority likes SUVs, they don’t like crossovers =)

This. The sheer amount of crap you’ll have to lug around means you’ll need lots of cargo space.

Exactly. Get the effing minivan. Stop this insanity. Besides, they are way better than awkward 3-row suv’s at just about any measure.  

Christ, what is with the minivan phobia?

That bike would be cooler if it had pegs. 

Long live the IS500

When to use “its” versus “it’s”...still baffling for Jalopnik writers.

I’m the complete opposite, every time I see heated steering wheel, I wonder why the fuck people would pay for that. And I say this as someone that lives in the frigid northeast.

Wearing gloves for the 5 minutes it takes the car to warm up isn’t an option?  Sorry--I’ve just never heard of “heated steering wheel” being a deal breaker.

No, at least not what I consider reliable. My former 2001 Tundra only ever needed routine/preventive maintenance over the 18 years I drove it. My 2017 F-150 3.5L ecoboost has needed 2 sets of cam phasers in 5.5 years of ownership, and I suspect it had another set done before I bought it used with 12k miles. Lots of…

Current minivans, besides the Sienna & Odyssey, are not what they used to be. The Pacifica has a lot of issues and the Dodge Caravan is plain garbage.

That’s why. 

Go watch James May Oh Cook on Prime too if you haven’t already. Just James being James the entire time and it’s great.

At least we still get to keep the other icons: swimming jellyfish, dead jellyfish, police, jellyfish kebob, walking mech suit, praying hallelujah man, man who has been sliced with a katana, and big holding enormous lollipop. And now when you press the brake really hard on snow, it’s easier for the car to notify you…

Two things can be true:

Elon still won’t let you suck his dick.

“Voluntary recall” almost always means that NHTSA went to the vendor and said “There’s a problem, and you don’t seem to be fixing it. It sure would be a shame if the government had to issue a recall instead of you doing it yourself. Sure would be a shame.” The UI on the right is FAR superior.

Wait. So, do you work for Tesla, or have your years of pro-Tesla comments on Jalopnik just been for fun?
