I think a lot of the issues were tied to the quadrifoglio engine. 

Counterpoint, the EV component mitigates the wear and tear on ICE components. I’ve read of accounts of NYC taxis (hybrid escapes) running hundreds of thousands of miles on original components because they go heavily on EV and regen.

Definitely need to test the roof. The roof hydraulic actuator system is the single most common failure point on these cars by a mile, and can be a pain to replace. The rest looks pretty good and better than expected for mileage. NP if the roof hydraulics check out, and that said these wear their hardtops so well.

Yeah I’ve built/managed millions in revenue for my company. My take home is my salary which is a small fraction of that (although I can’t complain). I am not going to complain about “earning” millions even though I generated it.

Same here. It seems a couple of the other writers tried to get their kicks in and it just didn’t work very well. Glad to see him back -- nothing goes better with a morning coffee and dump than these articles.

The new accords are also quite nice and fastback-y. They’ve really stepped up their design to be quite elegant. I admit the first couple times I saw them, I thought it was a new A5 or something else from Audi. 

Saturn Sky 2.0T, I regularly get 35mpg on the highway (and that car is 15 years old). Closest thing to a 2.0T comparison.

Finally, a crossover with a special storage compartment for my trusty telescope!

I’d agree but usually there’s a bit of entertainment and sarcasm involved in troll posts

I’ve always been a big fan of these, just an elegant design. For 20k though I think a Merc would be at the top of the list. 20k will get you into a decent period SL600 which gives comparable performance.

Design wise, I quite like it. Maybe someday they can resolve the massive wagoneer quality issues and make it worth the money.

You realize most sailboats have motors (for harbor/marina maneuverability and local no-wind situations), and if there are people on board you have gray and wastewater, and food waste.

The door is (hopefully) just cracked open in a lot of these pictures. The rear bumper however...yikes. I like the idea of the later style retrofit (I quite prefer the later S4 rear as well) but some more time spent on fitment would do wonders. I like the spec and the idea but not the execution.

my 2010 e550 has the column shifter.

Great parts car. If you have or are working on an old colt and don’t want to keep running to ebay for stuff, this seems like a pretty good deal. Unfortunately there aren’t many people driving or restoring old colts (idk, maybe I’m wrong here). NP if you’re in the single digit totals of people doing that, ND for…

yeah mechanically I’d much rather have this gen. The design of the first gen really is the only selling point. A GTI is much cheaper, widely available, practical, etc. My mom has a mk4 thats soldiering on through 300k without issues but they took care of it.

If you want an old TT, the first gen is the one to get. The original design is still gorgeous and distinctive. This generation is nowhere near as polished and aesthetically pleasing...the mechanicals are typical VAG from the era which...is neither good nor bad. That said, this is a no-mans land for the TT, especially…

I love the look of it, except for all the snaps. I realize that’s the old tried-and-true removable top fastening method, but they just look janky. It would be better if they just left the roof off and kept this a sunny day car (its in SoCal already...). Like others, have questions about how it affects rigidity as…

60* V6 will run for a long time if reasonably maintained, and this seems like a good driver. For 4k seems like a great deal and not something you’d be afraid to daily and maintain. 

Virtually every “easy money” “side husle” etc. influencer in the last 2 years has talked about car washes, ATMs, vending machines and laundromats as profitable, easy money. All the people who tried to invest in STRs have gone to these businesses as easy money investments.
