Dang this is a nice little car. Price is a bit steep, but it’s maybe in the top end of the negotiable range.  NP on condition of talking them down.

Has the Forester gone low-pro with the newest models? Our ‘15 (non-xt) still has nice beefy sidewalls. Rides great, don’t have to worry about curbs and potholes, did great on some sketchy back-roads.

my dad is a retired farmer that drove truck after truck after truck. Now he drives a Ridgeline and loves the thing. Drives nice, can park anywhere, and he can just toss shit in the back like he always has in all his trucks.

That fake pillar is both idiotic and hideous.  Bonus points for being really fucking annoyine for anyone riding in the back.

I agree with this completely. Part of the allure of the Aston is its dead-sexy good looks. This car doesn’t really have that. It looks “okay”. The interior hasn’t aged well either.

Hah, you’re not wrong, but I don’t really know why that is. I’m like 90% swedish and german, which is your garden variety northern midwesterner, and I love spicy food. Yes, actual spicy (both in heat and flavor) food. No, I’m not talking about diner pepper shakers.  I love korean, indian, thai, etc.

I see Local H every time they come though my area. Scott Lucas never disappoints.

That show sounds dope! Kids still say “dope,” right?

Hmm. . . close but CP. Just too rough.

I didn’t care for it either until I saw them in person.  I’ve gotten more compliments on my Still Night Blue Accord in one month than in the 3 years I owned my CTS wagon.  That color absolutely pops in person.

Eh the Mazda isn’t that amazing in person.  The Accord drove better and had a more comfortable interior.  The Mazda was cramped and I didn’t care for the ergonomics of the center console, even if it did have a nicer wrapping on it.

The Accord does.

I would have but I actually want my wife to take turns driving once in a while (she hates driving a manual).  Plus, a manual in a FWD family sedan is way fucking overrated.

The only thing wrong with Soul Red is that it’s not Still Night Blue or Great Falls Green.

It has not aged well.  Especially the steering wheel.

It wouldn’t. I drove both back to back and I’d get a GTI if the choice was between that and the Mazda 6. I don’t think the Mazda is a BAD car, because very few new cars are “bad” these days.

They didn’t so much turn down the Zoom Zoom as other companies have turned theirs up. The 2018+ Accord Sport 2.0T is proper quick.

I gotta agree. I drove a 2018 Mazda6 2.5T and an Accord Sport 2.0T (and a GTI) literally minutes apart, and the Accord won out. Something felt “off” about the power curve and the brakes in the 6. It also felt heavier somehow. The Accord felt way more responsive, but I will admit the steering feel leaves something to…

I honestly find it fascinating in this day and age that people can’t understand why players want to “retire” earlier from the NFL. I mean, sure, back in the day it was kept all hush hush that players’ brains were being turned to melted slushee. But now?

Yeah I personally don’t care for Popeye’s chicken. It tastes OK, but the breading is weird. It’s like crispier tempura--not at all how I like my fried chicken texture to be.
