My wife bought one new. I rode in it a couple of times. It was a tiny car compared to my 85 Escort but she never had trouble with it aside from the collision that killed it. She had it a couple of years and it was hit head-on at about 35 mph. She walked away unhurt.

The WTF is strong with this car.

Introducing the 2016 Chevrolet Scion TC in blue. That is what I see in that first photo and cannot unsee it.

I would add: "The Encyclopedia of American Cars, From 1930" It is a huge tome filled with manufacturing data, displacements, photos, model year information... Another good choice is the "Standard Catalog of American Cars"

I own a 2001 VW Jetta. Enough said.... CEL on forever. The German mechanic to whom I give all my income told me to put black tape over the CEL. For my car, 99% of the time it is telling me that the glow plug wiring harness failed. 1% telling me that I need a new transmission. It correctly predicted the second…

True.

Bob's Burgers is another thing I miss.

For me, I have 3 choices. Dish, Direct or broadcast. Broadcast isn't an option due to lack of channels in my area and I'd rather not change providers only to have a 2 year contract at a higher price so I have to suffer the consequences. All the providers need to offer an ala carte system. They offer so many…

The suck thing is that Turner pulled this channel from Dish Network a month ago. Greedy corporations are not making enough money and punish the consumer as a result.

If you choose to buy a Jetta, plan on a fairly high maintenance budget. I've spent lots of money keeping mine on the road and the hits keep coming. I'll be getting a water leak repaired and a ball-joint replaced in the near future. Since 2009, I think I could have bought 2 new Kia Rios with the amount spent on my…

It isn't only luxury cars that bleed your bank account. I bought a 2001 Jetta TDi in 2009 for $5500. I won't even begin to list the repair and maintenance expenses I've incurred in 5 years and 112000 miles. I'm sure I've come close to the equivalent of buying 2 new Kia Rios. I get great fuel economy but there's…

E series vans are dead, E series cutaways will live on for a few more years to supply the RV/Uhaul/EMS market.

I work in an RV repair shop/accessory store. I had a guy come in with his truck needing help because the salesman sold him too much trailer for his '94, half-ton, short-bed, lowered, sport model Chevy. His pickup was experiencing trailer sway when he went above 55 mph. Yes, his truck was within the supposed…

The best car I've ever owned is my '93 Roadmaster wagon.

I know it's not the same but if you go to Chrysler's UK website you can look at the 300C with the 3.0 Diesel but it only comes with a 5 speed automatic.

My meh experience was when we considered buying a new 1991 Civic. We looked a the base model hatchback and I took the car for a test drive. The salesman was like, "Isn't this the greatest car?" I replied, "It's just a car." Nothing too inspiring to drive. At the time, we had an 85.5 Escort L and an 87 Taurus GL. …

Great article. I just don't have the patience to drive at 42 mph (plus, on the roads I drive I would be run over if I went that slowly). This is the lowest speed that the transmission will stay in overdrive on my 01 Jetta TDi. It will read about 75 mpg at this speed but for my 140 mile daily commute I keep the…

I feel qualified to respond to this question. My daily commute is 140 miles round-trip and I drive...a 2001 Jetta TDi. I wish I could say that it had more sporting intentions but it is just a sedan equipped with a 4 speed autobox. It is a great handling little car and it gives me 36 - 41 mpg. When I got home…

I think almost every car I've ever owned was used to haul some cargo larger than should fit into the car. I used to deliver furniture with my Pinto hatchback. It was great, I'd sell the furniture and arrange for my delivery after leaving work for the day. It was a good way to make extra cash.

I'll take the Rampside if you're offering. Personally, all are great.
