I don't think the Subaru Crosstreck sells 2 million units a year.And that seems to make sense. We want things that are slightly less car-like for the ease of getting in and out of and having a hatch for added utility and moving slightly away from the standard sedan body style is pretty much all that is.I was thinking the same exact thing with the Venza.Don't forget they are selling the EcoSport. That stuff isn't standard on a GLS.
That's a CUV? That looks lower and smaller like a "typical" hatchback.You also wouldn't notice one passing you in the other direction. The only real difference is the badge on the trunk or hatch.https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/guide-to-the-volkswagen-dieselgate-emissions-recall- Try 550,000 in the US, 11 million worldwide. That's just what was affected by their scandal.I would wager good money your computer is optimistic if you calculated it over the next 1000 miles. They're a polarizing group but the TFLtruck/car/off-road guys test an awful lot of vehicles and have a pretty good and consistent test procedure and most computers state a higher mpg than what they are actually getting. Most are within 1mpg so nothing crazy but high is high. All of my computers have been higher than what I actually calculate and I've even tried using the same exact pump to eliminate one variable. This is my MKC’s numbers since ownership. Rated: 18/25/21 city/hwy/combined
And yet, they're still never all that accurate.Yeah, I beat highway and combined ratings as well but the best comparison is epa ratings. If we want to add 10% to the diesel(which as known to easily exceed highway ratings) we can do that do and say 30.9mpg for the 2.0T and 41.8mpg for the turbo diesel. That is still a very significant difference for something using a cheaper fuel as well. Also, what was the hand calculated number? Computers are almost always optimistic.Congrats, @ocnblu! I wish IL didn't require front license plates..Plate-less looks so much cleaner and better. My Escape had those as well. Somebody on a forum said it was to get air to the brakes because wheels and tires have grown so much. I don't know the accuracy of that but it made sense to me.People are COMPLETELY looking past the fact the 2.0T drinks premium fuel which costs MORE than diesel while getting significantly worse fuel economy. The article compares it to the 2.0T because of dollars but you're paying for efficiency and efficiency is what you get with the diesel engine. @dfelt mentioned women hate fueling up, well you'll be doing it less often with the diesel than either gas engine. Maybe it's a better option. I'm yet to meet somebody who's complained about getting fuel on themselves.. because most people aren't all willy-nilly with the nozzle.
Tell that to the millions of Jetta TDI owners..For @smk4565It isn't just about how bright they are but where they are projecting the light. they could get a poor rating if they're blinding every vehicle coming towards them, too. It's more than just the drivers' visibility. https://www.iihs.org/topics/headlights In my humble opinion, I'm extremely glad somebody is finally rating headlights. I'm tired of oncoming vehicles with their low beam-HID/LEDs blinding me.YUP. I'd rather pay less than he did on his 1.6L Fusion on my 2.3 MKC.I never realized how stuck-up Olds was about used cars until recently.. I bet he's only lived in new houses as well.That seems odd because with low sales you'd think that means low demand as well.. I guess a lot of people just refused to pay MSRP for it. That's a bummer you literally can't fit the Caddy in your driveway.
