Right but part of the etc. means having their souls sucked dry with every turn of the key, which they are of course oblivious to. The Saturn Aura makes the Benzo and the TSX look like interesting cars.
The one thing the Aura has is the 3.6 V6 with 50% more displacement driving the wrong set of wheels while the TSX is stuck with the RACEKAR 4 banger of doom.
Hers had the 2.5 I4
It was perfectly for her,
Where are these mangos?

Yea gotta chime in when you drive it more/as much as your accord. But that car is a perfect candidate for this. I’d even say runner up

I voted for the S4 BEATR but this indeed would be a candidate if TK sticks with new . I might even change my vote.

I also have to be ok with driving it too , luckily they're great on twisties and partially european, i'm sure a weekend-ish roadtrip would cover that and make it valid. dat NA 1.6 that's slightly slower than my Clio, dangerously slow Atleast the accord can get some rest.
Fwiw, I've rented a slower 67 hp turbo diesel in Turkey as well, it was except for the highway of course. In turkey standards, her car is considered "powerful"

My brother has a 1.0T Fiesta hatch and it's not that bad. 2nd gear sucks but other than that it's kinda fun to wring out and gets 40mpg redlining it everywhere.
Right now I'm going with the Elantra. It's the car I'd least like to own out of all of them, so I guess it's the shittiest. The entry of some 200,000 mile GTI with a shorted out ECU driven through the winter crud of PA would change that vote instantly however.

Have you seen that "Reacher" series? It's got the big guy, Alan Ritchson in it. They made some joke in the series about how "nobody will ever notice the Giraffe driving the Grand Caravan".....I think that's pretty much you in the Elantra.

Reacher is a great show that in todays land of BIPOC everything is a rare sight in american cinema.

Strong vote, but something about a B5 S4 that literally went to the moon and then some is terrifying to me.
While I actually love the car the thought of DD'ing gives me about as much anxiety as going into a strip club with my debit card and pin glued to my forehead.

I haven’t watched it yet. Saw previews and I have a hard time taking that actor serious after Blue Mountain State, but I’ll still give it a shot.

Dude is a fking unit... I low key feel weird watching it as it feels like a low rent Castro Street special tuesday night movie at points... a lot of naked/half naked dude + comments on dude
Figured the bodybuilding world would be pretty litty considering he has low key arnie vibes.
Only a matter of time until I get another total shitbox and own this. Previous contenders included a rusted out explorer, clapped out Sebring and a hail damaged Rx8 (which I still kinda miss).

I like the books and I like the movies with Tom Cruise. I'm not a huge "Reacher Head" but I think a lot of guys look pretty admiringly at the character's lifestyle..........which is collecting a U.S. Major's pension, wandering all over the place like Gandalf and pummeling or killing bad guys because you are a bad ass and you don't take shit off of anybody. I think the character also resounds with women, as does Ritchson's physique. He claims not to be on the gear in Men's Health, but the guy is not downing too many bags of chips and beer, that's for sure.
The Cruise character is much smarter, but Tom Cruise is probably much smarter than Ritchson. Ritchson finally gives Reacher fans the size attributable to their hero. The TV version also has a kick ass supporting cast, I really enjoyed Finlay the detective.
Your mind is not going to get all "wound up like a pretzel" but sometimes that's ok.

The show was a solid 4-4.5/7
I binge watched it with a hangover one Saturday. It is also easily repeatable without going stale........our hobo meathead just wanders into a new place with new good guys and bad guys. All Ritchson has to do is stay off the Cocoa Puffs and lift weights and he's golden for quite a while.

When i mean dangerously slow, i was making fun of one member from our dark side and claimed his cx5 was dangerously slow. Not being a karen about the car
