Obviously the grancoupe. The real coupe still gets the respect. The purple m240i is

I read a japolink article about the new upcoming grancoupe and literally that has been on my mind.

Exactly as long as its a mid crossover, cvt, and in some extend awd that they probably never use cause they're scared to drive in snow. for the npc's

Also having a volume seller is good so they can making cars that we like...atleast for now

So unpopular and and opinion. BUT there it goes anyways. Mini updated their Countryman and the Se version aka the electric version. Is the perfect electric family car imo.

Small enough to not be a gargantuan mess and lots of fun to drive and a shit ton of character. IMO the non EV version is great also but may be expensive to maintain. They come in under $50k and actually have quality interiors, tons of space, and are not some POS put together with bubble gum and saw dust toyota/honda/hyundai. They also come in fun colors!

Highly recco if anyone is in the market. I would have certainly picked it over my IX which costs 2x and has no incremental features over it.

Can't argue with any of that, looks like a pretty sweet kid hauler!

My wife is very much not open to an EV at this stage, I wish she was. To be fair, we take a lot of trips, so it likely doesn't make sense, but it would be neat to try.

Old Ramz are back in so that means the Apex wheels are ready to be driven to TN or swapped onto a Cadillac

I tried watching it but since it’s a “sponsored by Mobil 1 vid” I turned it off.

Can you cliffs ?

Yea this is def not a road trip car at all. But basically a “run all my errands around town and visit family and friends”.

They have near identical non ev ones but that would open it up to competition from other cars and brands. Which I am not yet fully ready making a strong statement like I made on the ev on.

I think the real head scratcher on minis is long term/high mile ownership costs. They can be overwhelming for Families who may do better with something like CRV but lack all character

water in oil bad. hybrids dont get hot enough to boil off water as often. new oils made for hybrid can help with emulsifiers.

No dingus, what's your issue with M1 sponsorship?

Oh I wasn’t sure if a video about oil performance/hybrids being hard on engines that is sponsored by an oil manufacturer is independent enough from a results perspective

Right on. I had the same thought.
Actual information? or Info-mercial?

I like EE videos, they're usually pretty unbiased, but hey, $20 is $20.

I do too, like his debunk of cybercuck towing the Porsche vid. He went in to explain what common sense told us was false.

This one I’m a bit sus on. And I’m a Mobil 1 fan. I used it to get 415k miles out of the crown Vic and using it in my current taco.
