As Du Volant

Miata is always the answer. Not super powerful but always lots of fun.

The 1.4 in the base Jeep Renegade. While most people will opt for the 2.4 instead, the base model comes with a MultiAir turbocharged 1.4... and a stick! It may not be the fastest thing in the world, but it’s a pretty lively engine and can be fun to drive. Just keep the revs up, it falls asleep below 3000 rpm.

A gauge telling me what speed I need to go to catch all the traffic lights ahead of me when they’re green. Because having a light turn red as soon as you roll up to it just sucks.

Back in the 90s, you couldn’t go five miles on the interstate without seeing one of these rolled over on its side.

Not in the US, but Nissan has been doing this with other models in other countries for a while. Here’s the 2015 Nissan Tsuru:

Nissan Rouge?

Yep. What you see above is a brand new 2015 “Impala Limited.”

I meant this generation. Made as the Malibu from 1997 to 2003, but they continued making it for the rental car companies as the “Classic” until 2005.

Before anyone jumps in and says this was just an ‘80s car... they made these until 1996. 1996! (Also that’s the A-body, not the N.)

Actually the 1990’s Sebring was basically a reskinned Mitsubishi Eclipse. Yeah, it was bland as hell... but it wasn’t THAT bad. The truly awful ones came along at the beginning of the 2000s.

Chevy Malibu.

Rental fleets are snapping up Chrysler 200’s, Chevrolet Malibus, and Ford Fusions. There’s always going to be plenty of boring American sedans to fill their lots. The Fusion is a pretty damn nice car (and the 200 is alright too) but the ones going to the rental fleets are definitely boring.

Dodge volume has been hurt by the discontinuation of the Avenger midsize sedan.

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do.

VW Beetle. In terms of all the numbers used to evaluate modern cars, they’re terrible. But many of us love them anyway, there’s just something special about ‘em.

I’m still not quite sure how the adviser kept a straight face as he handed the ziploc bag with the dildo in it back to the customer.

Braaaaaap!
