Fellas, It has been a while.
Accord is still holding on great!
I have had a few dents on the car which I have just recently repaired via pdr. Nothing crazy to report. A couple of times when I tilt the sunroof it tends to make a rubbery noise on random times and doesn't do it again for a while. Did not bother me too much, just not expected for a Honda imo (wait it is built in the US).
She's 42k miles on the clock. Mileage has slowed down as I hadn't took it to any roadtrips since Chicago last January.
For the Clio, last time I've driven it was last summer. Right now my parents are being in Turkey more often this year. They were in Turkey for most of the fall, visited for a few weeks in January, then they're visiting today for another 2-3 weeks. My mom has survived her chemo, but her final operations hasn't been done yet, once that wraps up, they're coming back here towards end of may. So they've been using the Clio ever since, took the car to Greece on a roadtrip just recently, just nothing to report.
Even though my Clio may be a puny 1.3 turbo, the engine was discontinued about a year after we got the car, so when my dad took it to oil change, the service advisor asked if they're considering to sell the car. Because of our absurd tax, 1.3 Clio's have higher tax rate than the 1.0's (NA and Turbo) which are the only available engines now in Turkey. I've been seeing it on instagram, in turkish car pages, 1.3 clio's dominate the 320i's and a3's with 1.5t I think and the like. The 1.3 still exists on the Megane though, the Golf equivalent of Renault that also offers the sedan variant. We have been debating to trade it in for a Peugeot 308 as the new one looks fire af.
Since my parents aren't here as much this year, I drive their cucktrek from time to time.
I have driven it to my girlfriend parents house in Bluefield, VA, which is a 4 hour drive. The car handled the trip great, but compared to accord, I found the seats to me more uncomfortable compared to the accord. Went to a few wineries, which I had some fun on some rough gravel roads. It is a great city car filled with potholes nfg. I'd love to drive it to Philly for a day trip go try it on those rough roads before they are finalizing their consideration to
for an outback. The cuck is a lease and our sales person is happy to accommodate whenever we make a decision as such.
plans.
My girlfriend and I have fully finalized on moving to Silver Spring, Maryland, which is right by the DC border of the north, it is really close to her work (school) and her barre studio + is a fairly walkable area with what you need. She doesn't wanna own the car for a while so we will pull the one car family plunge, so she will dump the Fiesta. Also leads me to a much shorter commute. I decided
for lease a gr86/brz
of course once we are settled in. The move is strictly planned for this August, probably September I will
I will forever remember the accord
driving, I feel like I have more fun bombing off ramps and backroads that's just as curvy as kim kardashians fake booty than I do pure speed. Plus it is way more easier to be attainable, I'll take a carmax trip to test drive one.
when you compare to a lot of crossovers, it does feel better. As far as space and storage, outside of the trunk compared to the pooper, there's not a lot of storage. Steering feels good, cornering on ramps felt sketchy when you pass a certain speed where GTI's and even 
fiesta would carve it no problem. Shifter feels good which I suspect as good as the pooper, granted never driven one. And it feels just as bumpy like you would expect in probably in a hype r. The one I rented off turo in particular had 2017 with 70k miles and parts of the interior already started peeling.
markups according to fb b58 forums. I drove the cucktrek for a couple days and these thoughts kicked in. Especially considering that I will be getting a much shorter commute where probably on warmer days I'd go by my bike or get an electric bike. I'm talking less than 10 miles roundtrip. But then again, I don't plan to pull the plunge until probably I move first.
here. But the compare for a countryman is an X5 or X3, not a cross trek... It is a customer who doesn't want a behemoth SUV but needs/wants extra space from a fun quirky brand. Unfortunately BMW gave up on the brand circa 2019.;. As they picked up on the fact that everyone now wants SUVs.
that it is actually a far worse vehicle in every way but maybe style. 
for the actually Minis, they are quite cool cars IMO.
too. But turkish car market is basically in between European market vs American market(not much wagons compared to Europe as it used to be), meaning not much wagon offerings (especially 308 only being the hatch) 
We don't even get the Megane hatch anymore and yet Europe does. Also since I share with family, they want the 3008 which is a CUV 
ez pass roads where I have to detour) / 36 to 40 roundtrip at my last gig (depending on which route to take).
on the bolded.
around moving too.. 50 cents a mile or so is the cost (post tax)or prob 70 cents pre tax … if you’re spending 1200miles a month commuting it can be a yuge extra expense.
and we could dump it and be at $138/month depreciation and $200 in maintenance for 40K miles. Leasing it would've been like $500+.
