British people HATE mummies
Malforus-thanks for the support, but I have to...
Haha, well, I guess that would work, but you'd need to space those chargers perfectly :-)
I'm thinking the Caterham is way, way, way harder to drive fast than a 430. I imagine I would have spun out on the first corner.
Although there's certainly a case for an XKR, the XJR with windows down and sunroof open, stereo blasting, worked wonders for my girlfriend and I's first date.
Well, it's a Porsche, but so badly beaten that it isn't pretentious. Like a lot of NHL players-the missing teeth and scars on the eyebrows make them seem more down to earth.
A Leaf can go a thousand miles in a day? What, downhill, in 24 hours, with 480v charging stations every 100 miles? It can go 138 miles on a full charge, if you're drving 38 mph. It can't go 100 miles to the ski hill, park (no charging) and drive 100 miles back.
Until batteries get bigger and better, it's an urban car-which is fine, but don't lie about it.
Ah, thought you were American. 27k here in the motherland.
MyFord is worst in the Explorer (can't use the controls with gloves on!), but it's still unnecessary in the Focus. As for the dual clutch tranny, it's not as fun as the manual. Seriously, hear me out: the clutch engagement is clumsy from a dead stop, putting it in Sport disables 6th gear, and instead of steering column paddles you get a toggle button on the side of the shifter. It's a cool thing to be offering on a cheap compact, but it's not executed very well. Stick to the manual.
Leather, sunroof, Sync, heated seats, Sirius, cruise, disc brakes with a stick? Listing at 23k new. That would be my preference!
But it's an interesting combination. I can't think of a car that is both automatic and FWD that isn't inferior to the stickshift version of the same.
Well done, sir.
It's the dealerships offering '5k mile services' that are way more than factory recommended and charging labour rates of $135/hour that give them bad names.
Don't get either. Avoid the auto box and the Myford Touch.
Those are a blast-even in stock form.
A fire breathing muscle car? A long distance cruiser?
I kid, I kid...
It ticks, clicks and clatters a bit. Not noticable inside the insulated cabin, but definitely there. But I can still hear the difference on the new VW TDIs as well.
Sorry, not helping the cause there. Try a Tesla.
S-10s aren't made anymore. The (awful) replacement for it, the Canyon/Colorado, wieghs between 3400-4100 lbs, which isn't more than a lot of RWD cars, but isn't light. Furthermore, the vast majority of trucks sold in North America are half-tons or bigger, all of which can easily be optioned to weigh over 5000 lbs.
They're still noisy. Christ, my dad's new X5 diesel sounds like a bus. And he's on his third catalytic converter, but that seems like it's more of a 'lemon' thing.
I think that one is promoted by Ford itself :-)
