BTW, my girlfriend at the time and I had sex in the front passenger seat of my ‘85 Chevy Sprint once.

I’m actually on my second VW, LOL. Both have been fairly reliable, though..

Also, you shouldn’t have to bring your ID.4 to the dealer for service that often.

Frankly, I don’t care if it gives me a blowjob on demand, it’s a VAG product and I will never trust them ever again. Between dieselgate and a series of nightmares with a (supposed) creampuff VW Eos I never want to deal with another VW dealer or service underwriter ever again. I’ve had to deal with catastrophic…

As an old guy who drives a convertible (sadly, a 4-seat Mini rather than a roadster - gotta drive the family around sometimes) I wholeheartedly agree with and appreciate this.

A folded towel under the car seat helps, but you're not wrong. The main goal for us was to make surface spills easier to clean and prevent stains. A full blowout (from either end) is why we got the all-weather rubber mats as well. 

Yes, I really wanted a stick with my Mazda5 but couldn’t get one in the highest trim level (which I needed for the leather seats because babies are...moist). Thieves may break into a vehicle with a manual in order to steal the contents, but they’ll never drive it away.

Tow bars can be fitted to them.

Another vote for the underappreciated Mazda5. It drives like a car, holds a ludicrous amount of stuff, gets decent mileage and is damn near bulletproof. I’m 6'2" and I’ve spent hours in the third row comfortably. Footspace back there is only limited if the center row passengers wont move up AND if you can’t stretch…

Not my experience - my Mazda5 was bulletproof. We used it for 8 years until it was pancaked in a 3-car pile-up and never had any significant issues until year 8. We replaced tires, wipers and a battery once. Just before the accident I had all 4 shocks done because they were starting to go. Oh, and a brake job in there…

There was a time I would have been interested in a convertible Lincoln LS, but I would have wanted four seats. I remember back when it was coming out there was talk you could get the V8 with a manual, but that never materialized and that killed any interest I had in the sedan. Accordingly, the T-bird roadster version…

Oh I’m sorry - I thought you were trying to have a rational discussion. Now I realize you’re just a troll. I’ll block you now and offer my apologies to the rest of the commenters for feeding you.

Whoa, cool your jets there Sylvester McMonkey McBean- I was responding specifically to this statement YOU made in your comment:

In fairness, it can reasonably be claimed that ALL Americans hated the Japanese in 1942 considering we were at war with them over the Pearl Harbor sneak attack. Seuss was no more or less racist than any of his contemporaries and probably less so considering the extremely liberal messages of his books. Just ask the…

Another vote here for the Mazda5: it’s bulletproof, drives a lot like the Mazda3 it’s based on, has ludicrous amounts of room and is available everywhere for under $10K. Hell, if you’re lucky you can even get one with a stick. I’d still be driving mine if not for a hobo who darted out in traffic and caused a 3-car…

Musk is a Bond villain who just happens to focused on things that will improve humanity and human life. He’s another billionaire genius/madman with grandiose plans, but without the megalomania and without the sociopathic cruelty. If he was trying to build a giant, invisible space station from which to seed his…

Most Minis would look good in that style. The key is that you need to have a fairly ‘cute’ car that clearly wants to have fun. Beetles (new and old), Minis, Fiat 500s, Smarts - there are plenty of cars that can pull it off. SUVs, muscle cars, serious sports cars/sports sedans and all trucks are just going to look…

I love 4-seat convertibles and this Saab is in surprisingly nice shape. The stick and FWD is appealing and I can get a bluetooth adapter so I can play my tunes. The price is pretty good assuming there’s nothing wrong worse than the top BUT...

I remember seeing a then-new Lada Samara at a car show and speculating out loud about its reliability. My friend (who later bought a use Audi A4 - which should tell you everything about this judgement when it comes to reliability) agreed. But then he pointed out that for the price of a brand new Samara you could…

Nobody likes a pedant and nobody cares.
