Obligatory star for PF reference.

As a 28-year-old, I couldn’t care less about connectivity in cars, when I get in a car I just want to DRIVE. I actually consider driving to be an escape from the always-connected high-tech electronic world we live in.

I personally like the newer, thicker, flat-bottomed steering wheels with thumb grips at 10 and 2, and I say this having owned an E46 for the past 12 years. What I REALLY don’t like is the new electric steering systems with their video-game feel. They’re invariably numb and offer inconsistent resistance, no match for a…

I actually love his thorough overview of the quirks and features, too many reviews completely neglect the interiors and exclusively focus on the performance and driving experience.

I miss the old Jaguar, with the exotic and richly grained wood trim, classic J-gate shifter that oh-so-smoothly glided into gears, and of course, the leaping cat on the hood leading the way. To be fair, all makers have lost much of their brand identity in the pursuit of modernity and perfection, but none more so than…

Agree with everything, except backup camera and automatic emergency braking. Sonar reverse sensors are more than enough. And I would also add tachometer to the must-have list, although pretty much every car sold in the US for the past 20 years has one.

There actually were not one, but two Saab 900 Safari wagons built.

Yes, I would venture to say that the 3 best American cars of the ‘90s were the Aurora, Riviera, and Mark VIII. I still have a soft spot for each of them.

Loved this lighthearted take on some of the worst cars ever produced:

4-door short-bed lifted trucks are the worst. If these things don’t scream “Look at me, I’m a complete asshole”, I don’t know what does...

Ironically, speed would have probably prevented this accident, she must’ve been driving REALLY slowly for the car to fall in like that. So remember kids, as Clarkson would say, “it’s not speed that kills, it’s suddenly becoming stationary.”

Late ‘90s to early ‘00s Jaguar XK8 Coupe. I dont really care how well it drives, but it’s drop dead gorgeous in British Racing Green! 

Same with housing sizes, average square footage for a 2018-built house is 2600, while back in 1985 it was 1800. And the average family size is actually decreasing!

The 9-7x also had the traditional Saab waffle air vents as well as the quirky fold-out cupholder. As an aside, all cars should have those joystick-controlled vents, so much easier to quickly adjust them to exactly where you want airflow.

Megan, what you want is a new-gen Saab 9-5. Unique, reliable, efficient, affordable, and of course, quirky.

I’ve had a few cars over the years that I didn’t like from the get-go and only drove them because of circumstances that dictated so. On the other hand, I loved all the cars I actually chose to buy with my own money, no matter how many times they left me stranded or developed major reliability/safety issues. I miss…

My tuned Saab 9-5 pings/detonates in hot weather on 91 gas, which is the max we get in CA. I’ve had to resort to mixing in a bit of Torco octane booster or a couple gallons of 100 race gas from a nearby station to keep my engine happy in the summer. 93 seems to do the trick, it’s ridiculous CA is stuck at 91...

Still looks better than a Juke...
