That's Civic pricing, so not really, unless everyone else has gone crazy too. (So kinda yes)

I haven't wanted a Ford product since I was 10 and wanted my dad's classic Mustangs, and I want one of these in that red, manual, with the 2.3 ecoboost. Guess I need to start saving toward a down payment. Edit: Actually in retrospect I'd never get it in my driveway with that front lip/that ground clearance. My current and previous three vehicles have all nose scraped like mad unless you find the perfect angle to come in and out and never deviate (and clearly I fail at it.)

DropShadow posted:Just curious: When you say the Golf runs from under $20k to over $30k, are you including the GTI and Golf R in that range, or just the "Golf" itself? Personally (and maybe this is wrong) but I consider the GTI and R to be related but significantly different enough to not be included. Well, the Golf TDI is $27k to start. $23k for the Golf with Convenience and Sunroof, regular gas. I hit $25.5k with options on that, so a TDI with all the options hits just a hair under $30k, yeah. Just playing with the configurator, mind you.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:My wife's has the 2.5L. It's a 30hp bump over the 2.0. I don't know if they're going to make it available on all trim levels, but she has an AWD Grand Touring. She really wanted to get a 2013, but I was leery about the 155hp. She had a CR-V with 160 and there were points where I just didn't feel safe driving it. It's several hundred pounds lighter than a CR-V, and lighter than a first-gen Forester, which had ~160HP.

MrYenko posted:I wanted a Golf or a JSW baaaad, but every dealer in the area looked at me like I had three heads when I asked them to order one with the 6spd manual. One salesman wasn't even aware they offered a manual in their cars anymore. I ended up with a Volt. So you wanted a manual wagon/hatch type vehicle but ended up with a non-manual sedan. Your dealers probably knew they'd be wasting their time ordering it because you weren't dead-set on the car you wanted.

My <long explanation of familial ties> has a 9 year old Prius with over 200k miles on it and all its taken is routine maintenance to get that far. It's still an ugly little silver turd but it still gets 50+MPG routinely. A new Civic starts at $18.3k sticker (28/36), the Prius C at $19k (53/46), I can't imagine if you're into the base model car that it would take that much longer to make up the difference on the Prius PCOS Bill fucked around with this message at 18:26 on May 27, 2014 |

Cocoa Crispies posted:In many places you already don't, especially if your home predates automotive culture or simply wasn't built with an idiotic amount of space dedicated to storing a vehicle. If you live in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, metro DC, or one of the many cities worldwide with popular and functional public transit, owning a vehicle is waaay more expensive than a transit pass and the occasional Uber. I live in a city, 2m+ metro population, not just some little bumfuck technically-a-city. Walking distance from dahntahn, even for a chubby guy. Way under 7 miles, hardly even two, less as the crow flies. I don't just have room to park, I have a driveway that can hold a handful of cars and a two car garage. If suddenly X miles from the "city center" became a no-car zone everyone around me would be completely screwed over. There's maybe one single car household in a stone's throw from me. A yearly bus pass that'll take you anywhere in the city is over $1600, and the bus system is, at best, subpar.

If I could drive the 3 miles to that park and ride and then take a drone directly to my destination downtown, I would actually go downtown more often. That's nice. For you. I'd rather drive. I've never had trouble parking downtown, even on Liberty in the middle of the day.

fknlo posted:Good luck with that. I'm imagining $10k markups minimum. I remember the first year of the C6 I was living in a small town, happened to look online and saw there was one on the lot at my local dealer walked into their showroom just to take a look at one in person out of curiosity, there was a huge sticker on the windshield that said something along the lines of "MSRP $XX,XXX + $25,000 markup due to rarity, YOU WON'T FIND ANOTHER IN THE STATE!!!!!!!" I just can't imagine how that works as a marketing technique, especially in a small town. "Spend twice what you did on your house on this Chevrolet!!!!"
