Applebees Appetizer posted:They actually hold their value really well, when I was used car shopping I was looking at CX5's but for my budget the average mileage was just too high for me. I'd guess that's because they don't sell well in the new market, so the supply is limited in the used market and internet nerds (along with much of the public) want them used.

If your car already has some amount of imperfections and small rock chips, will PPF do anything? Is PPF mainly avoiding things like debris residue screwing up clear coat and rock chips? I just don't see a reason or benefit to put it on if I'm not cursed enough to care about small imperfections. I mean, I used to care but stopped as I became more jaded about life.

Oh yeah Macans are highly desireable, they will hold their value better than most. Still gonna drop from MSRP by quite a bit but that's the rub when you buy that kind of vehicle. It's the bodystyle of choice for the US after all.

smooth jazz posted:That's such an unflattering angle. Is this an ironic post? It's literally an honest photo of the front of the car. At several angles actually. I've been an apologist before but I'm done. I can't fathom asking people in a survey if they think this looks good and most of them saying "yes". Absolutely not the case for prior designs. Why do this?? Not that I could afford a new car from these brands (so I guess I don't matter), but this has pushed me into a bland Audi preference.

LeeMajors posted:So my 4Runner is awaiting judgement by adjuster after I suffered some fairly grievous front end damage of someone else’s making. I’m in a 2020 Mazda6 right now, which has some cool modern features and poo poo. It’s the first car I’ve driven with lane departure warnings and adaptive cruise. ACC that goes down to 0MPH (which the 6 should) is totally the future of driving for Most People, as soon as you try it that becomes clear. Every new car should have it. But I understand you personally might not get a lot of value out of it, especially if you don't spend much time in moderate traffic. Unfortunately, I bet most people with ACC never try it out, which is a shame because it could probably prevent a huge chunk of accidents.

You know LDA is toggleable right? Just making sure. It's a common criticism I hear of newer cars ('nanny tech') but seems some folks don't know that it's not permanently on. Most also let you control the strength of the correction.

Mr. Apollo posted:The one thing I don’t like about ACC in my Audi is that it disengages after 3 seconds of being stopped in stop and go traffic. Do the newer Audi/VAG models also do this with no way to turn off disengagement? Quite annoying when stop/go is the whole point of ACC. I drove a Jeep that had it and it was a perfect implementation that almost never turned off. Maybe after 30 seconds of being stopped I needed to tap the gas, I don't remember.

Yuns posted:2021 Mazda 3 2.5L turbo awd is live on the Mazda USA site. 250 hp and 320 with 93 octane. Says available late 2020. This is a cool idea. Even though no one buys sedans anymore, I would love a class of vehicles that have strong engines, but don't cost as much as entry level luxury like the 3 series or A4. e.g. MSRP around 25k instead of 35k, but with comparable performance. I'm not positive where the cost cutting would come from, but I feel it's doable and could be profitable. Is the Camry V6 going away? Something like that I guess, though the Mazda3 sounds even better.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:diagnosing and fixing rattles is absurdly hard and not worth it for the tech in most cases. better to just write "could not replicate customer complaint" and get something that will actually pay. Oh, that is sad.  I've never bought a new car but part of the allure would be a true bumper-to-bumper warranty that would include minor complaints like rattles. But your explanation surely makes sense.e: Wonder what would happen if you went for a ride with the tech and indeed could replicate it?

This was an excellent comeback, well done. e: Unrelated but looks like there was some drama with this sale in the BAT comments. When you win and fail to pay on eBay they can limit your account etc., I wonder if there is any legal obligation on the part of a winning BAT bidder? I imagine the answer is no but it must suck to invest time as a seller in an auction with lots of bids only for the winner to fall through.

Zorak of Michigan posted:The Miata is so clearly the next car I want that it's hard for me to even read new car reviews. The next-gen BR-Z/86 might conceivably lure me away but the rest are hopeless. The only other segment that has any appeal to me are the hot hatches, because if I ever can't get a Miata, a Veloster N, GTI, or Civic Type R would be the next obvious segment. Curious, what is motivating you to stick to a fairly rigid 8 year timeframe?

If you left a bike in a car overnight and a thief was especially motivated, is there any way for them to steal it easily? With a laptop, backpack etc. it can fit through the windows, but you can't unlock doors just by smashing a window right? Even if it wasn't possible I wouldn't leave anything overnight since I fear smashed windows either way.

CornHolio posted:I've driven manual cars almost exclusively for fifteen years and I have never once sat in stop-and-go traffic thinking "boy this is terrible, I really wish I could inch forward in an automatic right now."

TheBacon posted:for example Doug, he gets a lot of views and twice a week and I got the sense that like he sort of barely paying for his cars with it. I don't believe this is accurate. I think Doug is past the $1MM per year income from YouTube mark, which is more than enough for his payments. His revenue numbers are for a variety of reasons but the most important reason being he has a large video library at this point that many people watch per day, from what I understand. Very rare numbers to achieve, of course. Beyond just being jealous I'm proud of my boy, I've been following him since near the beginning. In his More Doug videos he's shown to be shrewd in the way he views YT, he understands that it is most likely a temporary income source, and like the others has started a non-YT income source which is an auction site. I think most YooooooTooobers understand it's a temporary boon in a similar way. It's such a minuscule population that are actually successful after all right?
