Well, guys, that's how it played out. We took delivery of a 2019 WRX Limited yesterday morning.

We managed to hold off the car shopping thing almost another two years but ended up pretty much...

Actually, I encounter enough situations where the LGT's turbo-4 is either barely making boost (or isn't making any at all) that I'd rather have an NA engine of comparable power. Even if it's a bit...

IOW, I might as well hope for a 3.6L H6 Legacy with a 6MT.

As long as your reasons were sound and this wasn't a decision made in haste, that's all that really matters.

Your family experience matches my daughter's experience (2013 Dodge Dart) . . . the common factor being Chrysler Corp.

So if your job predisposes you to see a high percentage of ChryCo vehicles, I...

Feel free to mostly ignore the recent Euro and Australian crash ratings and the resultant commentary. They're much to heavily based on the absence of various nannies, less on the vehicle's inherent...

Ditto for at least the early buyers of Nissan's Murano, lots of CVT failures, and the only 'repair' was replacement of the entire transmission with a new unit.

Biased much?


FWIW, the imports I've owned haven't been particularly more reliable or repair-free than the US domestics. And that includes the LGT which has never been autocrossed, tracked,...

To date, no. Never had it on the track - it was her DD until she retired so I guess it's still nominally hers. Not hard to guess how it goes from there.

Not sure how you're lining up the generations here - the 2015-up S550 chassis is generally referred to as the 6th gen.

What I can tell you is that even the previous-generation S197 (2005 -...

That would be nice.

In the meantime, the '01 Maxima - aka, the "spare car" - is getting a lot more use than it normally might (and it's still fun to drive).
