Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
35-50k in todays world is not "expensive" per say since the average transaction price is 48k. :disgust: I keep waiting for the shoe to drop but somehow the average american family making 70k can afford a 48k car and a 470k house and many vacations as AIRBnB is thriving... I just don't get...

20 on the van is pretty bad but I guess it’s a rolling shipping container. Weird the atlas does better on fuel. Did you test a 2.0T one or just the VR6? I wonder how laggy that motor feels in something this large. Not surprising that it drives better than it should. Nice to hear. And I keep reading ...

Yes we have talked about the cost and know we need to cut it back. You only have bits of information and I’m really not going to share more about that since it’s a sensitive subject for her. But yes as I mentioned if that can be cut back the options open wider. Wifey has been pushing to sell the 86...

You guys have an Atlas too, right? What's your assessment on that vehicle versus the van if you're only using the first two rows regularly? How it drives, ease of use, MPG, etc type daily use.

I had a CX-30 as a rental for a week. It was great for what it was. Mazda gets a lot correct with their cars. Their infotainment being knob controlled, no touchscreen, widescreen, and in your line of sight seems like a no brainer. Yet, they're the only ones really doing that. Also, the old six spee...

I demoed a rim brake carbon setup a few years ago and the braking was horrible. I can't imagine it in the wet. Did some cycling this weekend. I have a tradition of riding 2X my age on my birthday, turned 35 Saturday so went out and did 71 miles. I hit about a 40 mile group ride and then 30 solo, I ...

I’ve asked that but it’s related to lady parts and pelvic floor. She needs a lot of one on one troubleshooting with the physical therapist every session. With the baby she hasn’t gone in about a month which is good but those $ have been consumed by the baby and hospital bills. if i was a physical t...

We stretched the budget way too far to get this house and I can’t afford an additional $150 a month for a less fuel efficient vehicle. I think you got the math backwards… Yeah my head is swimming right now. Can’t think clearly. Yes cheapest option is an old car with bad gas mileage. Still cheaper t...

Our old Chrysler did that. Shit out like 4 transmissions. The dodge caravan my dad bought to replace it… transmission literally exploded a day after he bought it. Towed it back to the dealer and got his money back. Our ford wind star was fine. It was abused hard and kept chugging along. Our expedit...

Not a bad suggestion for longevity overall but will have old car bs problems, and likely will get about 10 mpg. Yea but it won’t have a 40k car note … 40k at todays 5.5% is $183 a month probably enough to pay for gas and repairs. And I’m not even using the cost of borrowing and depreciation. Gas co...

Sienna seems like the answer. I finally got Lisa to ok test driving one, after she started watching how much easier the vans are to deal with at preschool drop off. everyone hates a :minivan: till you see the practical side.

Can confirm. As kids our vans were absolutely beat to shit.
Our v8 expedition didn’t fare any better though.

Probably Pilot. But I'd have a hard time pulling the trigger on one until they put the new Accord infotainment in. It has a comically small screen in it right now. CX-90 would probably be my personal pick, but you get more bang for the buck with the Pilot. The new pilot seems alright with the refre...

What do we know about 3-row SUVs in this forum? We are stopping at two kids but the CRV is already feeling tight as hell with the baby seat in there.
