Yup, my bad. I see it now. With a regular auto stick, when the stick is in the Park position, you know its there, you dont have to trust a light or a sensor. And an E brake is supposed to work when all hell breaks loose, all sensors, servos, batteries, computers, engine power, belts, ect ect are busted, you still have…

Spoiled it for you ??? Its a talk show that discusses with the most popular current issues. Idiots.  

The fact that it is saltwater make the battery/fire situation worse ?

What the hell is that ? And those stupid stupid E-parking brakes, because pulling on a stick when you park is a huge burden. 

Like Lord Harry says they put all this effort into making a hybrid and then a tiny battery. That may have been acceptable in 2012 but not now. Even the ‘torque fill’ of such a battery must be quite limited. For Joe Wealthy to use this car on a semi regular basis it should be able to putter through residential…

Resale value for manuals is very low but in 20 years that thing will be a collector item because of the manual. Another plus is the reliability of a manual transmission. Some of us really do like to drive their cars into the ground instead of the ‘great leasing options financing trade in drive away low payments ‘ BS.

The newest crossover to be found in its natural habitat, the Starbucks drive through.

Its electric range is a joke.  At least the bmw i8 has some electric range.  Yes yes the nsx is faster and more reliable but whats the point of making it hybrid.  It also cost more than the i8.

I’ll take Quebec drivers over BC drivers anytime.

Might be a good idea on steep uphills. Install it where fuel consumption (and pollution) is highest.

I thought Hipsters were extinct, then there are these two. 

A four cylinder manual would at least be cheaper.  And lighter.

I hope this kid is clean but the past tells me to be skeptical.

Why did you mount the trans cooler on the blazing hot rad ? 

I know someone with such a car. He does mainly city driving so fuel economy is pretty bad. Keep reserves of cash for repair or enjoy diagnosing and DIY. It is smooth and fast, no doubt.

Take your socks or underwear or crappy old t-shirt in the shower with you. Wring them out good and hang them up on a makeshift clothesline or drying rack.  It works better than you think.

J D Power is - asking owners of 3 year old cars how many problems they had in the previous 12 months.  

Would be interesting to see a detailed list of the repairs, maintenance on this thing.  Farmer’s axe. Don’t get me wrong, I like things that last and are maintained to last.  

Kind of like being lost at sea and dying of thirst.
