I have to imagine there will eventually be some sort of automatic sleep/hibernate function after a set period of driver inactivity. Which I expect to work just as well as the same function I have set on my laptop, which completely drains its battery overnight about once a week.

It certainly looks cool and puts a new spin on an old lever, but no matter how intuitive they make it someone’s going to get confused and leave this thing in not-parked mode (do we still call them Drive and Neutral with electric cars?) and become a rollaway risk.

Would this be the hot-hatch equivalent of Jeremy Clarkson’s Sports Train?

“I’m only doing a three foot patch of weeds, I’ll be done in 15 seconds” was all the justification I needed for the one time I didn’t grab a pair of safety glasses using the string trimmer. Very lucky I didn’t lose any of my eyesight, but a ride to urgent care and a $300 bill was lesson enough for me.

Overall it’s crazy overstyled like some sort of Japanese mecha fantasy, but in black they look much better by hiding the plastic fake vent overload. Granted, I’ll never own a black car again...

Shit, my school “recommended” the TI-83+ in 2002 or so and that was retailing for $180 at the time. They also said the TI-82 was “acceptable,” retailing for $130 but could be had for $100 when bought through the school.

Hyundai Brat N featuring the Veloster N’s 260hp turbo four, 6MT, AWD, and a $29,995 delivered MSRP? My god, I’ve never been so turned on by the prospect of a Hyundai.

1st Gear: They call it a pickup truck, but I’m not holding my breath for much more than a Hyundai-styled take on the Subaru Baja running on the Elantra/Tucson platform.

I know there’s a problem afoot when I’m more excited by the redesigned 2020 Nissan Versa than this car.

There was a time where these were the best-performing cars you could buy under $100,000, competing with cars costing $200,000 or more. Now the GT-R’s top trim costs $200,000, or more.

27 years seems a little optimistic for the $3,500 budget of most Jalops.

Could this be one of those instances where a brown manual Jetta (or Golf) Sportwagen TDI actually makes a solid case?

You say door-challenged commuter, I say Grand Tourer on the cheap.

Neutral: Hate to say it, but I open my car’s moonroof about once a season, and nearly all the time it’s spent closed I’ve also had the cover shut.

This is not sold by Amazon, but rather a company called “AMZ Fulfillment,” which has little feedback and a terrible average. https://www.amazon.com/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A37AGJ663NOU5J&tab=&vasStoreID=

1st/Neutral: Mazda would be a top-tier brand tomorrow if they addressed the dealer experience nationwide.

I’m going to guess it’s something more along the lines of “the lug nuts were tightened in a circular pattern rather than a star pattern.” End result - small chance the wheel could be mounted at a very slight angle, which would cause a tiny gap between the wheel and the hub on one of the lugs even after fully…

Tangent: I was just thinking last week that these have been out for months and I haven’t seen one, then in the span of 3 days I saw three of them. I gotta say, the hatchback doesn’t photograph well but in-person it’s gorgeous.
