This - I’ve been looking for what to upgrade my Mk7 GTI to get a bit more space and this Honda is incredibly compelling for more space and quality of interior.

Why not a Kia Stinger? You get fun to drive, move up a size class, and it’s much more interesting than a Civic or BMW and less pretentious than an Audi.

If you can find any - after the Alltrack came out, the Sportwagen got super decontented, and while the 1.4L is OK, but 1.8L they originally had was way better.

Unless there are cars fully encircling your home like an old Western wagon train, and so long as your driveway’s not blocked, you still have plenty of access to your land. If you don’t want to see your neighbors’ stuff, live somewhere rural; so long as you live near other people, your stuff might intermix.

Some may argue too much power but I have yet to find anyone who complains their car is too quick.

If you have a driveway, you park in your driveway. Otherwise street parking has always been and always should be first come, first serve. There’s no difference between parking in front of my house or across the street from it in terms of inconvenience.

But the oil spots are not on your property, right? Why would it matter?

Delinquencies are approaching 2009 levels of bad, and it isn’t likely to get better for a while.

Yes! A green one that someone somehow drove from Ontario to NYC.

don’t be an asshole and take up parking in front of someone else’s house.

The new performance plan could stifle innovation if employees are afraid to try new things for fear of failing and being graded a low performer.

Now, though, there’s finally a truly good-looking car back in the Audi stable: The new Q5.

This is for the re-run of this story for Jalop’s 20th anniversary - I get if you lost the or no longer have the rights to the original image that goes on this post, but why not use a new picture of the car that the article predominately is about, a Mazda Millenia?

They do, but it’s just as the Integra.

Used, I guess, but didn’t they stop making those years ago?

I also own a Mk7 GTI, and would still recommend the Fit in this case. Great as it is, the Golf has horrible rear legroom with a tall driver and for Golfs with sunroofs, the headroom is greatly compromised. I only have about 1" between my skull and the sunroof frame, and I can tell you it hurts when a bump in the road…

Yeah, there’s a mod people do to add just a hint of tilt to the seats to give a bit more thigh support. I don’t have a torque wrench, so I never tried it, but there are also cushions that attach to the seat bottom for that, if needed:

Totally; the first gen HR-V is related to the Fit, but IIRC the current one is more Civic? Still, both are a bit large compared to the guy’s Kia Rio, IMO

Respectfully, all of these suggestions are still massive vehicles.

Without having to think about it, Raphael Orlove’s fantastic, long piece on the history of Mazda’s failed attempt at a luxury brand and the resulting Mazda Millenia. Since it all happened in the pre-mass-market internet days, the only way to hear the story is from a ton of the important, high-up people who were…
