    Not possible when mfgs do idiotic shit like ford stopping car production. you can’t even get a good car now

    The fiesta was awesome. Ford stopped it. Subaru went to all shit cvt transmission. Chevy cars suck. Honda is ok ish.

    I just want a manual awd wagon. Turbo optional. Apparently Americans hate wagons and hatches. I’ll keep buying used forever I guess.

      “harder” !== “Not possible”

      People buy 10 year old compact cars every day. If you want to complain about it being harder I am with you. If you want an excuse for buying a gas guzzler I am very much not.

        Issue is those 10 year old compact cars are dissapearing along with parts to keep them going, plus we know the idiotic cash for clunkers destroyed 10s of thousands of useable good cars the poor could have used so the government could force us to buy new so gm wouldn’t fail. I’m still mad at that.

          I would agree there are challenges/problems here. Just not that it’s impossible to drive/buy a car

            Yep I agree. People gravitate to what’s easy, and in america, big truck or big SUV= easy and can haul their 5 fat kids. Except 99.8% of the time itll drive 1 person around.
