Any metropolitan area where they use looping zipper merge exits and you have essentially 45 feet for cars to enter and exit the freeway. Once you’re free of the zipper of which you’re lucky to be traveling 25mph you need to get up to speed as quickly as possible in order to not be a danger. Up to speed around here is…

New York is now Detroit 2.0 except Detroit at least has cars, New York is just stuck with a broken choo choo train hahaha

They act all smug about their subway system. Who’s laughing now! have fun with your delays you smug bastards!

when compacts are slowly edged to the size of a midsize one doesn’t need a midsize. I think my gf’s focus is the size of my 96 ford contour that I used to have.

CVTs are shit. Mine makes me want to slam my car into the center median on the daily because they can’t handle low speed traffic.

My biggest issue is that it only has a 2.0L vs a 2.4L or 2.5L. My lancer’s 2.4L is like minimum for a CVT not feeling like a death trap for trying to accelerate onto an interstate. I also wish they seemed larger (not tons) but then again maybe they are large enough and it’s just the impreza shape that makes them seem…

I have my license but no longer ride. It’s an experience I recommend for everyone, but when I moved to a metro for better pay it killed any further riding for me. In rural areas motorcycles are perfect. In a metro where people are constantly crashing because they can’t focus on driving there is no way in hell i’m…

The problem is you can’t get a color other than Silver, White, Black unless you get a certain model level (usually only their top one with all the features i dont want/need). Additionally those colors are rarely just ordered to the lot, they’re on the ones built for customers specifically making it even harder if you…

Or just make sure the model actually justifies the cost. You can charge $65,000 for a $24,000 car but most people aren’t going to pay more than $24,000 for it.

that was my thought. I think if it drove over an IED there would have been a better shaped car left than this disaster. This thing looks like it had a train ran on it by 5 tornadoes 

Less to do with dieselgate and more to do with a reliability issue. Accurate or not VW have developed a reputation like jeep to be cool looking vehicles that sit in the shop a lot. While the CRV is ugly (at least IMO) people know you can basically change the oil and run it for 200k miles. The american consumer on…

right i’m confused as to when the Ridgeline changed from being the butt of all truck jokes to suddenly the practical choice everyone should buy. Have crossovers really killed our minds that much in the last 5 years?

Epic find but $15,000?!?!?!? I could see $8k maybe $10k. At the end of the day this is still an older vehicle that’s still going to need a lot replaced out of the pure basis that stuff gets old and brittle regardless of use.

Hows your safe space working out for you?

Because this liberal site can’t leave politics out of anything but god forbid we mention that cars started to suck because Obama pushed for insane EPA standards that basically told the v6 to eff itself and you get boring 4 cylinder crossovers now because that’s all they can legally build.

Mustangs start at $26k As soon as you add a single feature it now costs more than a crossover which can at least tackle snow. Trust me i’m not a fan of crossovers but i see how they took over. They’re affordable, their gas mileage is the same as a midsize and they have awd. If you want a car with awd your options are…

Don’t even get me started on the CVT. I have a lancer SE (i wanted awd and subaru was out of my price range at the time). Anytime i sit in traffic which is for 45 min twice a day i wish a semi would just tip over on me because CVTs cannot handle speeds under 20mph.

it’s all anyone’s making so you can’t really fault him. When the options are a beige camry or a beige rav 4 what do you think people will buy. To even get to a fun level of car cost $40k. Crossovers are like $22-26 unless you load it up with blah featurs that don’t make it drive any faster.

The dealers and manufacturers know what they’re doing when they put out an ad saying “save up to $9000 off MSRP.” They did the same thing to my mom recently with her car saying they could give her an astronomical trade in because they needed to sell more cars per pressure from toyota. They were pissed when she said…

Pretty much. And it comes down to not that I couldn’t afford more but that I wouldn’t want to afford more. Like if you see an advertisement that you can get a $33k truck for $23k and then you find out it’s like $29k well no, i only got interested in it being abnormally cheap.
