Minis are made by BMW/Germans. 

That’s a shame. The current MMI knob and buttons are really easy to use and I don’t really have to take any additional attention off the road to make quick adjustments. The HVAC and seat heater controls are also all buttons and knobs, and similarly aren’t distracting to use. It’s a really simple, functional,…

I think it’s pretty mechanically similar to the Tiguan diesel that had a lot of problems, right? I might be wrong about that. 

I’m pretty sure that person is aware of that and is saying it is similar enough being just one letter different that they hear Pinky saying it when they read it. 

At the local rec sports center where our rock climbing gym is, the parking lot frequently overflows on weekday nights when the beer league soccer, dodgeball, and wiffleball are going on. The back of the parking lot is a paved, sloped hill up to a fence, probably at like a 30 degree angle. I enjoy parking my tiny ass…

I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than making really, really, really, ridiculously good comments on Jalopnik. And I plan on finding out what that is.

I think Chargers are generally well sorted out by this point because the platform is like 10-15 years old and they are in fleets everywhere. There aren’t many problem areas. 

It’s not a sports car. It’s a heavy sedan with a big engine. There is a difference.

Why not just buy another of the same car? 

Try again, smartass. The HIDs on a rental 2019 Corolla I had were dim as shit and I had to strain my 20/15 vision to see anything down the road with the HID highbeams on.

It totally depends on the headlight assembly and how its designed. The halogen projectors on my 2008 Subaru Legacy GT were phenomenal with a wide expanse of evenly and well lit road ahead. Other cars I’ve driven with halogen lights had shitty beam patterns and sucked, for comparison (the Honda Odyssey my parents had…

But bro they upgraded the Focus ST to the EXPLORER ST!

This is exactly what I did with my current Audi A3. MSRP with my options was probably around $39-40k. Got it for $18,000 with 30,000ish miles. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, 0.94g on a skidpad, AWD, and a 700 watt 14 speaker stereo. What a fucking steal. The good thing about no one wanting small cars anymore is that dealers are…

This is a great price. These things are money pits but at $1700 you can just buy this and drive it until it dies/becomes too expensive to be worth fixing.

I don’t think anyone has ever said that. 

Top Gear/Grand Tour fan here. You’re ignoring that it is unquestionably, demonstrably true that Jeremy Clarkson is a racist, proudly ignorant boomer oaf and Top Gear travel specials (as much as I love them) aren’t exactly Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown in terms of respect for the localities, and James May is much more…

I’m not really sure what the point of a Lotus SUV is, though. Lotus makes lightweight, frugally appointed track cars that make no bones about offering creature comforts or a luxurious ride. Why would someone want a frugally appointed, harsh riding SUV?

Yeah, I feel like if you want to own a plane, you need to be able to afford 5 of them first.
