Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Rented a Mazderp3 last week. Pretty nice car, I quite like these. Mazda really nails the tech thing and just not going overboard in so many dumb ways. The old six speed auto, no touch screens, etc. feels refreshing as hell after so many convoluted rentals. Also, I averaged 35 MPG which was pretty s...

Check out an Atlas as a punishment box (cheapest on that list) or if you can find a Highlander or Grand Highlander HYBRID that's really the way to go if you can't stomach a Van. But honestly... I'd probably try and get my name on a list for a Sienna. It's the thing that makes the most sense. I like...

Went to a BMW dealership with Richard yesterday to go test drive an option for :cheese:’s stablemate. The :dillerman: we interacted with has consumed so much of the BMW kool aid that he lost it when I mentioned the Audi I was cross shopping. He also owns one of every generation of M3.

On a different note, i stopped by 7-11 to grab something quick in a slightly sketchy neighborhood. I hapened to park next to an early 2000's camry, the bulgy bargey one.

I had the same issue on the stand. It was/is documented issue that can easily be "Fixed" with lube. Someone should tell rental agencies that :lolol: maybe Ford, because it’s a remarkably bad impression when every single one is like that and they’re in every rental fleet. the good thing ab...

I’ve had about three of the previous gen, one was such a POS I returned it for the Mercedes I murdered the buck with in Utah. All three the rear windows didn’t seal, and I’m not talking a little whistle, this was like 0.5”+ of gap on both sides. Ferd really is kind of :poop: Ford is pretty much off...
