    Ahhh yeah, I do remember like the cheapest way to get the diesel was like 35-38k or something pretty nuts, because it was only available on the top trim. Whoa, just looked up a C&D test of the diesel 'Nox and I remembered it being slow...but this is real slow. 0-60 in 9.4 seconds and 1/4 mile in 17.2 @ 80mph. I still think it would be a fantastic vehicle but you can't be in a rush if you own one of these.

    NIIIIIICE! I wish those would have sold better but weren't they pretty damn pricey for what you got? The AWD version is rated 28/38. I'm sure you could easily top 40mpg with a little bit of a light foot.

    I can't read what blue badge. Is that the diesel?

    LOL, touche. Yeah, I'd want to move my legs for a couple minutes anyway after 200 miles, even if I didn't need to go to the bathroom. Heck, it's the kind of break our bodies probably NEED from sitting in the same exact position that long anyway. I just read a new review of the Bolt EUV and that has terrible charging speeds. They plugged in at a 350kWh charger and it only pulled 53kWh. I'm not sure of its actual rating but that's too slow. On the other end of the spectrum, a friend was traveling home to Vegas from Phoenix and stopped for like 10 minutes to go to the bathroom and his Model 3 got him 115 miles of added range. He has whatever their new battery is that doesn't have lithium in it, or maybe a very small amount? I forget what it is.

    There aren't a whole lot of those out there though, right? Those that are are like 80k+? What's the cheapest 350 mile range EV? Speaking of which, I've kind of lowered my standard on what range I would "require" to consider an EV. I used to think 350-400 miles was the minimum range before I'd consider buying an EV. Now I'm more like 250-300 miles of range, and even that's overkill but gives me plenty of safety net for cold-@ss winters.

    Can the 2.0T no longer be had in the Equinox?
  8. ccap41
    I don't believe this and an Equinox are about the same size. I thought this was a noticeable amount smaller. The Equinox starts are 26k..

    Oh...Oh I know...

    All great points and I completely agree. Just the idea of the dealerships being able to sway your interest rates should be illegal. They should be required to show you all of your financing options if you aren't already being financed through your own bank or paying cash. They just tell you the rate and you're either okay with that or your not. Just a couple weeks ago I was talking to a female coworker who was vehicle shopping and she got financing through her bank ahead of time and when she was ready to buy the Nissan dealership was going to charge her MORE because she wasn't financing through them. Smartly, she walked and found another Rogue Sport that she wanted where the dealership wasn't playing games with her.

    I understand what you're saying but is it all that different with car shopping? Call 5 different dealers and get 5 different prices? Go to 5 different stores and a pound of chicken breast is 5 different prices...and I'd wager it's all coming from the same or maybe only two different sources. I understand the haggling aspect you're talking about and I understand what you mean.

    I would only ever want a battery storage if I had solar panels to truly take advantage of storing electricity.
  13. ccap41
    Not all consumer products have fixed pricing. Walk into a store then go online to Amazon. You'll find varying prices for the same item. Home appliances have random/holiday sales and 0% financing throughout the year as well. Cell phones are the same exact way. The more I think about it, the more I think prices vary more often than you'll find the same exact thing for the same exact price everywhere.

    Oh I don't think it's a tech thing. I don't know anybody who looks forward to dealing with those people. Funny enough, the price haggling is probably the only part of the transaction that I don't hate. Them trying to upsell me on every little thing and then proceeding to try and convince me I need all of those upcharges, is what drives me the most nuts.
  15. ccap41
    I can't imagine missing dealing with a salesperson.

    I think this one is a decent step in a positive direction though. It doesn't have the typical FWD shape to it, stubby and very sloppy hood, like my MKC. Maybe something is just playing tricks on my eyes though, lol.

    Oh yeah, that's 100% what it felt like driving the two of them and why I assumed the GLB had more interior space. I do have to ask then, why'd you rate it(GLB) lower on your interior roominess list than the GLC?
  20. ccap41
    I looked at this awhile ago and GLB and GLC are nearly IDENTICAL in exterior dimensions and, if I remember correctly, the GLB had more interior space. We had a loaner GLB then a loaner GLC so I got curious. I was thinking X3 and GLC were the comparable ones as well. Ohhh okay, that makes sense then. Thanks!
  21. ccap41
    This is GLC-sized? If so, it's not nearly as small as I would have thought. We've had a loaner GLC and I really liked it. It certainly wasn't big but I didn't think it was necessarily too small either. Has the X1 grown from the original generation(I'd assume so - everything has)? GLC-sized just seems quite a big larger than what I'm picturing for the original X1, which seemed about Ford Focus-sized with a 0.5 inch lift kit. And thanks, I assumed it was still FWD-based but the low, flat hood does a good job of hiding it, in my opinion.

    You may have called it, but you need to pay closer attention to the details, cap.
  23. ccap41
    True, but, I never said "I'm done." Also, I was only talking to myself. ...And get called a dickhead for talking to myself...
  24. ccap41
    Well, in all fairness, I accurately called it.
  25. ccap41
    Well, to be honest, it looks pretty sharp for a really small SUV. I assume it is FWD-based but I may have missed it. If so, I think the relatively flat hood makes those FWD proportions look surprisingly great. I like it but nearly 40k for something this size seems insane to me.
