I’ve owned 2 BMWs including the one I drive now, but if they don’t bring back the steering feel and add Android Auto support, this one is going to be my last.

If BMW had sold it in the US with the same “proper M” motor as the rest of the world, it probably wouldn’t have this reputation.

Taxes definitely have a lot to do with the popularity of smaller, more generally practical cars over in Europe.

Europe has high taxes and small parking spaces.

You should ask DC residents how they feel about not being a state.

Lawsuits are often settled for reasons that have little to do with the merits of the case itself. In this case, we're talking about Ford, with its teams of corporate lawyers on the payroll, and the ability to drag the case on for as long as it likes and to make life as difficult as possible for New Autos and its…

Hyundai and Kia have been my go-to brands at the car rental lot for the past few years. They’re usually comfy, quiet, easy to quickly pair my phone with, and get good mileage.
