Does yours do that thing where the speed alarm isn’t consistent either? So is sometimes a rhythm and sometimes not? I’m assuming it’s speed-related (i.e. the time interval between chimes is dependent on road speed), and that it's not quite getting a constant signal.

The “gling... gling-glong, glong-gling” noise as you hit freeway speed is both infuriating and charming.
It’s the lightest road-legal Lotus sold in the US in the last decade though (and even then the Elise was only allowed in with exemptions). Safety adds weight.
An Alpine A310 at the shops just down the road from my house:
Weight isn’t as bad as it looks. From Motorsport Magazine:
And only one comes with a manual transmission and HPAS.
Interesting... I really like the profile, it looks compact and nimble.
Nobody suggested this pair?
The lead image doesn’t give you a great idea of the sheer scale though - it’s either a very large car, or the man standing next to it in the image below is a jockey:
Damn right. “Eery”? “Is imminently about to”? They’re borderline illiterate.
“I know, Vladimir. It’s just that there’s no way we can get nineteen drivers to crash.”
What if the exponent is really low. Like 0.1 or something?
Flow... I should have suggested Philip Island.
I mean, if they’re still a good deal, it does seem a bit unreasonable that people are angry at Subaru for not making them an even better deal relative to the competition. Subaru could lower the price, but that would mean reducing profits, reducing funds available for development, and would ultimately hamstring them…
Well SOMEBODY has to make an EVO if Mitsubishi have given up, right?
I’ll suggest an unusual suspect: Cardrona (Race to the Sky). It’s a great hillclimb, the scenery is amazing, and it’s in Middle Earth:
271 hp seems like a reasonable amount of power. What do people normally cross-shop them with? A GTI has 228, a Veloster N 275. A Mustang and Camaro have a bit more but sacrifice two doors and usable back seats.
At the moment not even Sydneysiders can get there...
The Evora starts at £72K in the UK, so the “entry-level” Emira will undercut it by £12K. The first edition one is cheaper than a similarly-equipped Evora (£2500 for leather/Alcantara, £2000 for forged wheels, £900 for metallic paint, £300 for painted calipers).
Do you want to cheer a shitty person though? Two of those things (arguably three, if talent is to some degree something you’re born with) are innate. But you can choose whether you want to be a shitty person or not.
