#1 - Price: limiting the tax credit to just US brands effectively killed any enthusiasm for buying an EV anytime soon. There isn’t a EV made in the US and still qualifies for the credit that interests me.

With the advent of the electric vehicle, though, there’s no big engine taking up a ton of space, so it’s common for EVs to have both a regular trunk, as well as a frunk.

And no, I don’t want to hear about how you’re constantly changing your car’s temperature. Put your AC unit on Auto and leave it alone.

Audi also seems like a weird target - those who know enough about cars to care about such a comparison know that Audi borrows a lot from its parent VW, and they’ve long been seen as the distant 3rd place and the cheapest of the big German luxury brand.

Especially if Mazda’s made this push upmarket by switching their…

I really, really liked these, but it was so hard to find out whether they came with Android Auto or not. Apparently some of them got it in 2017, but AFAIK just because it had MIB2 didn’t mean it had the right USB port installed. The native Audi system was good for 2015 when these came out, but not super great otherwis…

The most amazing thing about driving an eGolf is that, other than the quiet, it felt exactly like driving any other Golf. It was super well dialed in.

I’ve owned both a NA 160HP and SC 210HP Mazda Millenia and each had their merits. While the NA was by no means slow, the whine of a supercharger coming from a fairly anonymous sedan definitely turned heads, and it made highway merging and passing a breeze.

Thiiis. I don’t care what’s under the hood when - other than the sound it makes, I’ll grant you - the car wouldn’t make me turn my head as it passed by. There’s nothing here to convince me they’ve broken free of the “grandpa’s car” association - it’s just so generic, you’d almost be forgiven for mistaking it for the…

Miata is always the answer. You don’t even need to make it a face-melting rocketship - give it the little 35 kWh battery and 140 HP motor from the MX-30 and it’ll be solid.

He’s said that anyone who wants to buy an electric vehicle should be able to but the government should not shape the car market.

Here in America, there’s a side-impact test that cars must pass that simulates being t-boned by an SUV.

Another man said when he went to confront the Dunkin’ manager, the shop’s employees locked the doors and refused to come out.

In 2022, VW bosses promised that the controls would be phased out on newer models with a return to tactile controls made wherever possible, reports Road & Track.

Right? $38 is GTI 380 SE territory, complete with DCC and Adaptive Chassis Control, Adaptive Cruise, a stick, and 20ish more HP

FTFY

Even if you got through all of this and are still wondering why The City doesn’t just pay for air conditioners to be installed at platforms, well, as with most things, it comes down to money.

Hand down, the Honda Fit. It’s enough car for 90% of drivers, immensely practical, Honda reliable, inexpensive, and spacious enough that a family of giants can sit in it no problem. It’s a real loss that the Fit isn’t sold anymore.

Wyoming. It is a whole lot of nuthin in the Cowboy State.

Every so often someone will ask why I never consider American brands when shopping for a new car, and it’s purely because they don’t sell anything interesting or small anymore.
