Glad she's ok. Nice car, and get a dash cam. I seriously wish all cars would come with a built in dash cam (modular setup - should be able to remove the camera and also replace SD card), so I wouldn't have to fumble with wires and everything. I know it's an option on some GM cars

Looks better than Ford interiors, but still there are parts I don't like. What's up with the dial shifter? That's just not premium at all. Don't get me started on the screen!

I still value the headphone jack, and I'm glad Samsung and LG have at least decided to stick with headphone jacks in their flagships. This is just a pure marketing exercise from these companies - if you believe they removed it for technical reasons (or space), you are just plain wrong. They just...

ok....

I have the Civic with 1.5T, and it's just interesting to watch all this go down (even though Civic 1.5T is supposedly fine). I would be the prime candidate for this as well, as my commute is <1.5 miles one way, and live in upstate NY (very cold winters).

Something to think about - BMW is has the i3 and i8, which could be the foundation to the future of BMW when it comes to hybrid / alternative fuels. MB also has the B class electric drive, but that's just rare in the US. The tail lights are very Lexus like! I do like the progression of the 3...

I use S8+ and I enjoy it.The Xs Max is wider than S8+, which would make it more difficult to hold. I probably wouldn't consider it for that reason alone.

Glad you got the manual! The autos in the Fiesta / Focus are too troublesome (so many stories on the internet / forums)

Yeah, 42-44 MPG on the current gen. hatchback on hilly highways with AC, passengers, luggage, doing 75-80 MPH, and heavy foot. The folks on the civicx forums report much better mileage. Take a look on fuelly, and you can compare different model years/engines/etc. I do 99% city driving, but for...

What? 28 MPG on the highway? Is that on the last generation V6? The current gen. 1.5L Turbo Accord should be getting 38 MPG highway, and the current gen. Hybrid model should be getting 47 MPG. I have a Civic with the 1.5L Turbo and CVT, and it is a great daily driver. I can get 42-44 MPG...

Agreed. Phone prices are crazy, and unlike other flagship Android manufacturers, it's hard to find sales/deals on iPhones. If I had to get a new phone, I wouldn't get one without an OLED screen. Those Samsung panels are just amazing.

Nice. How have maintenance / repairs been over time?

If you're going to own a German car long term (5-20 years), get ready to spend money. The costs that you spend for regular maintenance, is going to be more expensive than your Toyota/Honda/Ford, not to mention break/fix costs. Find a reputable shop that won't gouge you on prices. There are also...

@HomerJS Fuckwad is an understatement.

I do exercise more than 3x/week, but I need to get a fitness device (preferably with a HR monitor). I have a Pebble Time, but it's not a fitness oriented smartwatch (besides tracking steps).
