Gotta come down to the four-digit range with that many owners. One person’s spotless dealer maintenance history is another one’s Jimmy Bo Bob & Sons Last Month’s Crawfish Catch Shack and Transmission Repair Services special. CP.

I have the only size and width combo that’s out of stock on the men’s variant. Curse my 14 4E feet.

It seems like they’re just a plug-in recharge system shy of perfection. Even if the batteries are only large enough that it would grant like 20 miles of range, this would make an ideal commuter for many.

...for risk of airbags not deploying in the event of hard braking and acceleration.

And by going the low-cost route, they were able to gradually improve the engine over time so that both the initial 155hp 2.0L and the new 181hp models meet their specifications for durability and reliability, keeping warranty repair costs down.

One thing I’ve always wondered...how do you get into these? How do you close the doors from the center seat? Does the steering wheel detach or tilt out of the way so you don’t have to contort your knees backwards to pour yourself into the driver’s seat?

Like seriously, it has pre-installed Camry Dents. Who approved this rear end?

Business up front, sloppy mess at the back. It’s the automotive equivalent of a mullet.

From what I gather the appeal is that parts are cheap and abundant, they’re easy to service, they’re decently reliable, and they last through a beating. I’ve known several people who had these as their daily drivers early in their automotive endeavors and learned to wrench on them.

Oh...oh my. Yes. I’m not even a BMW guy but I need this in full resolution so I can plaster it on my desktop and be happy every time I boot my PC.

One zero too many on this example of what has been lovingly referred to as “the disposable car” after one of my college friends went through 4 of them, all bought for under $1,000 and sold or scrapped for $400 or more. And that was almost a decade ago. CP!

Man, I kinda miss my Zune. Thing was an absolute tank.

My boss just asked what was so funny. I had to quickly pull up a spreadsheet and fake an egregious error on a report as cover.

My ‘15 Mazda3 does the first gear pseudo-lockout once or twice a month, and indeed a jostle into another gear briefly gets everything going again. Glad to hear this isn’t unusual or uncommon; I was more than a little worried when it happened three times in a day!

I read this comment during a lunch break and I was thinking about it all day because it was kinda funny but I didn’t get it. It hit me while I was working out and I nearly dropped weights on my face.

A Phaeton by any other name would be just as maintenance-free.

With enough time, neglect, and botched eBay turbocharger kit installs, all new cars are LeMons deep down.

Yet in the same presentation, Mazda’s marketing folks bragged about the fact that the Mazda 3 sells well in the upmarket Grand Touring configuration with a manual.

Someone grew up playing Enduro Racer!

When selling a car, you are allowed one (1) “dramatic” shot of the car with the camera taken at an angle to emphasize how cool and hip you are like the millenimals on instant-telegram. Level off your goddamn phone for the others.
