Does the VW Routan version have more than both?Quote:

That. Was. Awesome.Quote:

Hah look at that piece of shit.
Those inboard brakes must be a real joy to change out. Probably why the thing only has 20K miles....
So I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get a face full here but I'm jumping in with both feet. I need a small, efficient little car for work, I'm allergic to sedans (and need a hatch anyway), I'm sick of auto tranny issues and I'm really sick of not working because I don't have a car I can trust not to strand me somewhere. I really don't want to pay the Toyota/Honda tax so the Fiat 500 keeps dominating my searches. Are they even sort of reliable?
Nissan leaf?
A new Chevy Spark is like 15k
Used Mazda 3 hatchback?
Kia soul
Good luck finding one.Quote:

But FFS, you're going to ignore us anyways, so go ahead and get the 500, or better yet a Mini. We can all use a good shitshow TR when it breaks down in a month or two.
Korean is the answer. Not quite the tax as Japanese. Comes in relatively ‘old ford-like’ base models. Wife’s ‘12 elantra wagon manual cost $20k CND and has had zero issues in 90000km. Others with Kia have had similar stories.
Hyundais and Kias getting jacked around the upstates like nobody's business.
It's like gravy is trolling us FFS!
Not that I'm aware of. I was tempted by an Abarth I saw here for like 3 grand a few months back. Was high miles, check engine light was on, and it was a bit beat up. I thought it would be fun to buy it and treat as entirely disposable. Just drive the absolute piss out of it, hooning it everywhere, putting no money into it, and when it blows up, it blows up. Off to the junkyard. SO, would I buy one for reliability? No way. Would I buy one for shits and giggles? Hell yeah! I've heard they're a blast to drive. Just don't count on them to be very good is all. I'm sure they're plasticky, junky little vehicles meant to use up and toss. But fun at least!Quote:

Actually, I saw a new Mazda 3 in that iconic Mazda red recently and it looked so good. Like a candy apple you just have to touch.
