Intrepidation

It's not too bad looking actually, except the odd way the headlight creases on the fenders.

What Camino said,s sometimes letting it all out as loud as you can really helps release the stress and pent up emotions. Good luck, hope you feel better.

How come they still use leaf springs in a car costings close to $100,000? I'm not to making fun of it, but what's the reason? Is it somehow better than other types of systems?

The one on the right, what is it?

Finally a shred of common sense.

Welcome to like 5 years ago! Better late than never I guess.

Keep the car!

Sick f@#k, I hope he gets run over by a plow and his skull crushed by it slowly.

This weekend's storm dumped 10 inches of snow, followed by ice and then a light coating of snow on top of the last storm which dumped 7 inches on the existing 3 inches.

I know little about bikes but I do know what I like the looks of. Yamaha R1 The Triumphs are cool...also I like the VRod.

RWD or FWD all you need is patience and the use of your brain. I never got stuck once in the FWD Prizm, and never lost control of it...without snow tires too. The real hero of the fleet is the Shadow which has snow tires on the front, which certainly makes a difference. Although I would love to own a Jeep right now.

Tonight's crazy weather caused an mid-90's Corolla to T-Bone a last gen Altima at a rotary...wasn't pretty.

Glad that blind idiot didn't damage the truck. Yes driving in the snow is a blast. I wished today for a RWD car to go power sliding in the snow with. All you have to do to drive safelis take it slow and use common sense...that's how I made it through work tonight.

I was thinking that too.

Oh man, that's just nasty.

That is by fr the coolest thing I have ever seen on a car. It didn't even look real at first. There's certainly some implications with such a design, but it's still cool as hell and has quite a few advantages....would be nice to see some production cars with this.

I do like it overall, except the huge gaps where the tiny fog lights go. I'm also sick of BMW's interior designs. They look horrible and uninviting...their saving grace is that they are made well out of quality materials....but c'mon...they all look the same.

I lived with one for two months. I had a Laser Blue Metallic LS with the automatic. I always meant to write up a review but school and lack free time interfered...I wonder if it would be too late too now...a Anyway...here's the rundown: The Good Handsome, if conservative exterior Pleasant, is unimaginative interior design. No rattles Great Brakes Very good power delivery (always felt strong even on the highway Smooth Shifting Transmission Simple controls AUX Jack Automatic headlights (loved that feature) Nicely designed and easy to read guages Easy fold down rear seats (also the releases are in the trunk, which is convenient) Good Visibility Excellent highway stability (felt as solid as my car, even at 90-100) Information Center is useful and a nice feature Comfortable front seats Small Steering wheel The Bad Transmission sometimes hesitates to downshift Cheap interior materials Build Quality not very impressive (mostly inside but the front fascia was misaligned under the right headlight) Steering always felt strange. The waiting was nice and there was some feedback but it always felt artificial in the way it moved...I got used to it, but I was always aware of it. Base stereo sucks...no bass, music sounds hollow Rear seat legroom not very good, cushion not very comfortably positioned either Never sure whether I liked the engine's soundtrack or not The hub caps look like ass, go for the wheels Arm rest fabric on door panels very uncomfortable, plus it's just fabric over hard plastic...no padding Cheap plastics easily scratched...scratched the door panel with my finger nail(!!!) while rolling the window down Ignition area easily scratched No proper oil gauge, temp gauge or battery life gauge (but most cars lack that these days) The Ugly I got very poor fuel economy, especially in the city. Average was 18, worst was 16.8 Highway was better..best was 32.2. Still, as I've said, The Prizm gets 40+mpg highway...and we averaged 40 mpg going an average speed of 90 mph or so fully loaded with stuff, us a 30 gallon rank with about 5 gallons of water and fish, and 2 cats. It gets 25 or so in the city. Basically it got slightly better than what my Intrepid averages. Fuel economy aside, I liked the car overall and would consider a used one...but it would have to be a more up level one with nicer interior bits and wheels instead of hubcaps...and a center armrest. I doubt I would be willing to pay for a new one though.

That sucks, sorry to hear that man. Hope you get it fixed soon!

Thanks VeeDub for bringing the Intrepid back.

Taken as a whole the HHR SS (couldn't they have just named it "Sport")? is a big step ahead from the normal model. Still, while the review from the outset has a negative overtone, it's just compltely without reason. Facts are facts and compared with the MazdaSpeed3 it doesn't turn as sharply, the steering is not as crisp and natural, its suspension isn't as good, and it doesn't handle as well. It's not OMG T3H BIAS!!11 either...it's common sense. The Mazda has a more advanced suspension, isn't stuck with electric steering, has a lower center a gravity, and so on. MazdaSpeed3 simply had a better, more advanced vehicle to start with. Chevy had a less advanced vehicle. Ocn, you seem to be grabbing at straws. The MazdaSpeed6 is coming back with the next generation..it's not uncommon for trim levels to start to disappear shortly before a model is redesigned...look at the Vibe for example. As for the PT bashing, the PT, despite being older, has come out ahead in comparison tests, and has been noted for having a better interior with more personality (although I hate the seats, far too narrow for me). Overall I'd say that that the HRR SS is pretty good...it's probably not as hardcore as the SRT4 or the 3, which will attract some buyers. The SRT4 is a monster for those who want one, and the 3 is the sharpest and most dedicated sport hatch. edmunds review is unnecessarily harsh yes, but at the same time valid points, both good and bad, are brought up.

Well we just got about 9 inches, now we're gearing up for 4-8 inches plus ice.

The interior design is a big step up from the old one...the front end not so much...I don't know if I think it's any better or not.

I love Autoblog's article title: "Aw Snap!"
