A week ago, I rented a car to visit family in New England. The car given was a 2016 Chevy Cruze LTZ. I was impressed by the power of the car, it had no problem managing the hills of New Hampshire and Vermont but the fuel economy was not great in my opinion. The engine was the 1.4l turbocharged four cylinder and if I…

Obviously Amazon and Clarkson contacted the good folks at Carrerra Cup and needed to drum up some interest in the new series.

My ‘91 Prelude won’t be hacked remotely. Heck it doesn’t even have keyless entry unless I forget to lock the door.

$20K! 182000 miles! I’d buy something new and have the new car warranty. Or buy an old beater for much, much less.

In my case, I own a 2001 Jetta TDi. The most expensive vehicle I’ve ever owned. The maintenance costs are terrible and constant. I gave up after the second injector pump died 2 months after I had the transmission rebuilt for the second time.

I can only imagine the chassis flex!

In the hot southwest, I travel with coolant and drinking water. Props for using the “shitmobile” as the cover photo.

My biggest complaint is that the manual transmission is only available in FWD.

Sounds a bit like “Alice’s Restaurant” to me.

Count me in. I just took the battery out of my Jetta to charge it.

Nice car but it is hard for me to consider spending that much on it.

I second this motion!

Love it! Mine was red! I don’t know where it is but my ex-wife may have it.

Thanks for such a great piece of journalism! In my 2 visits to the Philippines, I marveled at the Jeepneys and tricycles. My last visit was in 1998. I remember seeing a Jeepney with the nose of a Honda grafted onto it, it was a bit surreal.

I agree on the no better option part.

I lived in Massachusetts for the first 28 years of my life. I remember the stress of trying to get an old car to pass the state inspection. I’ve owned some rusty cars.

Yikes! I’m stunned by the pricing on Hemmings. Of course, Hemmings is a place for collectors and the pricing reflects this.

It is a solid design. The only change: It has to be named “T Mode” as it follows the same naming convention as the C Max hybrid.

I’ve had some cars that crumble zone was correct. Rusty old cars in Massachusetts.

This is a nicely presented little vehicle. Useful, too!
