JP’s Family Trucksters
So the accord is good and all but the stereo is absolute shit. There are “8” speakers in it but it’s really 4 component speakers with tweeters. The rear ones are on the rear deck. The doors don’t get speakers back there. But the speakers themselves are tinny on the highs, muddy in the middle, overb...

:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist
The other car in segment is the golf R... which still has a superior interior... but arguably less fun? But more practical, and kind of less special IMO. I am not diminishing the value of the other cars which are arguably "better" cars but at a cost. Sure, I’d love an M2 as well. But I th...

:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist
It’s the FWD aspect that I have a very hard time with. IMO wheel hop isn’t fun. I’m sure it’s a blast to drive. And if you require a manual there aren’t many available anymore. Crazy part is it’s a straight trade for my Tacoma. It’s still “worth” 47k according to carmax … 2 years + later … so it’s ...

Drove myself and little man to DC in the red rocket this weekend. Kept it at roughly 65-75 mph for the highway so faster than I usually drive. It’s about 2.5 hours of driving each way. Results were 48 mpg down there, 60 mpg for city trips, and 47 mpg back. The car is a highway animal. Better than th...

Come on over I have a driveway and an aluminum low profile jack. My kid can hold the flashlight for us.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Agreed, it's kind of funny they're really dying on the green hill... the whole concept of every vehicle being AWD kind of goes against the green initiative. Love doesn't get stuck in the snow. To be fair my STI was a fucking animal in the snow. Even on summer tires that thing was unstoppable.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Yeah but I think Subaru is going to be in some trouble soon as well. Their cars appeal to greenies but they have no hybrids or PHEV that is worth a damn. Supposedly changing soon I guess. I don’t think the new beetle saved VW as much as them fully leaning into and owning the Euro trash stigma and t...

I mean. I’d probably tackle that myself. But then again it’s an M3 not a GTI so maybe I wouldn’t. Lol. Who knows. If you forget to plug something back in it might get totaled.

So I finally reached out and got an estimate on the shifter install from the indie BMW shop. Still waiting to hear back from the performance group at the dillership but I can't imagine they're much different. https://media.tenor.com/bdzTE4CeYakAAAAM/mother-of-god.gif 6 hours of labor at $165 an hou...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
The Jetta seems like it’s back at the top of its game of affordability and drive. But nobody wants sedans. The CVT plus NA 2.slow that actually went down in power again from the Civic sounds pretty terrible to me. I’d rather have the Jetta at that level. But on the upper trims yeah it seems the Civ...

I like Jason but I think he’s wrong here. The Buzz won’t save VW. A good Tiguan and Atlas will. I am with you, I think it could've if they'd done a $45K hybrid. It brings back the charm of VW from the 60s-90s that is all but lost today. I think VW filled a really special niche - basically appealing...

I absolutely love the Buzz. The price, and EV only situation, is going to destroy it. If this thing was a hybrid at $45k they'd already be sold out for the next year. sadly i think you are right. VW might be toast in the US at least. I like Jason but I think he’s wrong here. The Buzz won’t save VW....

sadly i think you are right. VW might be toast in the US at least. One thing that's funny is the current Jetta is actually a great car. I've had a few rentals, they get real world 35-40 MPG, are decently quick with the turbo motor and drive pretty well. The interior is classic and I'd say above ave...
