I like what Mazda does with the 2.5 Turbo. Premium is not required, it has two power outputs - 227 HP or 250/256 HP and 310 or 320 lbft based on the rating (87 or 93) and you can use Regular no problem. They advertise this and let the consumer decide. More manufacturers should do this IMO

No shit. Reminds me of a story a friend told me once, his history teacher got pulled over by a Georgia trooper who said, “I’ve never heard of anyone going that fast through Georgia.” Teacher’s reply was, “Perhaps you’re not familiar with William Tecumseh Sherman?” Spent the night in jail for that wise crack.

Hey, I sold it to her, and I talked with her this morning - I just want to say, I legit had no idea. This was my grocery getter and city escape vehicle, and the steering was vague as hell but I chalked that up to GMT2500 handling, or lack thereof.

I’ve looked at this car.  The guy is every bit the delight he seems in the ad.

I’m conflicted.

Let me drop this for you:

“Oh no he didn’t wash his hands.  He’s getting in the car...  Why didn’t you wash your hands??? OMG THE INTERIOR OF THAT CAR IS SO CLEAN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WASH YOUR HANDS!!!” -my brain

Alex, what is”something my wife has never uttered”?

Said it before, will say it again. Sidewall=good. The more sidewall, the less of those forces transfer into the car. Yes youll lose some handling, but for a daily driver? More sidewall.
