By damn, I know it would suck on North American roads, but I REALLY want the Daihatsu Copen Cero Coupe anyway....

Yup, because most EVs are a lot more expensive now...

I agreed....I am not an SUV person at all, but a Suzuki Jimny or Lada Niva are the only two I REALLY love...

Honda S600, which, in his case, has a motorbike engine in it - Jay Leno did a video on his car, pretty frickin’ epic little thing!:

Exactly! Less to go wrong! Especially since Citroen’s 2CV-derived engines were tested HARD and incredibly reliable!

There needs to be a Jason Drives episode of this pronto. :P

I will be perfectly fine with this. :P

Any hints on when we can expect the first? :D

Your LNA makes me want to get one...in the same flat-twin guise...

Oh, I am SO looking forward to this! Hoping each episode is a little longer than a few minutes as well! I thoroughly enjoy Jason Drives! :D

Ooo, really excited for this Jason! Any hints on when we’ll be able to see it? :)

OK, that is BRILLIANT. Simple, clever and incredibly effective...

Damage to the suspension and half-shaft...any body damage or undercarriage damage? Can the car be repaired for another event?

Never had to try that one yet! :P

EXACTLY. They are getting fixed, but not truly fixed because they are being repaired by the same unupdated part that then fails again the same way.

I was replying to this comment:
“Many people did get their transmissions fixed.”
Which says nothing about them still running. Also, many of them work when faulty, they just don’t work right, so they would technically still be ‘running’, just in no way, shape or form properly.

But the problem is the fixes so far didn’t solve the issue...I have a co-worker with a Focus with the problem transmission, she’s had it back to Ford to get fixed THREE times.

Needing the same problem fixed THREE times with only months apart is not ‘fixed’.

Amen brother! My starter died on a Saturday a few months ago in my 2009 Hyundai Accent...no garages open on the weekend. I did my side job all weekend with no starter gently bump-starting it by making sure I parked on slight inclines everywhere I went. By the time I was done, it was actually sortof an amusing game…

A friend had a manual 2012 Focus until this year. The manual transmission Fiestas and Foci were perfectly fine as far as I know, just the automatic ones were bad.

Being in Eastern Canada today in the midst of a heat warning....
...uh....here near Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, it’s actually really not that hot at all...?

Yup...I have a Logitech MX510 that looks cosmetically terrible from all the wear and tear I’ve put it through....but I bought it in 2004 and, despite the ugliness, it still works PERFECTLY. I have to take it apart to clean every once and awhile, but I still game with it and use it daily and it’s fine. They had quality…
