What Would You Buy Instead: Buick Encore Edition
Drew Dowdell replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
So I'm a little confused. Is the money restriction only on base price or on as configured price? -
What Would You Buy Instead: Buick Encore Edition
Drew Dowdell replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
With that criteria.. it's basically only the Encore. Which is fine, I'm 53k miles into mine and not a lick of trouble. -
Yeah, if you know you're going to be loading stuff up at Home Depot, you need to remember to park ass out... but it is a small price to pay for the overall convenience.

Who Is the Most Legitimate Automotive Source?
Drew Dowdell replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
I prefer @Drew Dowdell and @William Maley myself... If I have to pick outside of C&G, then I'd go with Aaron Bragman at Cars.com and Zac Estrada who is an independent for multple publications (He did the Continental article we were arguing about) -
Honestly, I have a hard time quantifying it. Keep in mind use my Honda for doing maintence work at my apartment buildings, so I'm always hauling tool boxes, supplies, etc. in it. It's just easier to do in the Honda than any of the liftbacks. It's not something I can really explain... it's just something I live with.
-
You know what would sell me? This right here... You have no idea how much superior a side opening tailgate is compared to a lift back until you own both. The side opening hatch on my old CR-V is sooooo much better than the Encore liftback for loading and unloading stuff.

FCA and Cummins named in diesel emissions class-action lawsuit
Drew Dowdell replied to FordCosworth's topic in Industry News
I doubt it would come to that. If what this article states is true, it is just the catalytic converters and other emissions equipment wearing out too quickly. Off the top of my head and don't quote me on this, the manufacturers all have to warranty the emissions systems for something like 100,000 miles. -

Drew Dowdell replied to FordCosworth's topic in Industry News
This sounds more like a design flaw than an intentional thing.... The key is going to be if they knew the emissions system stopped working before the mandated warranty period. It kinda sounds like FCA may be just on the hook for new cats. -
Latest purchase: 2015 Chrysler 200S
Drew Dowdell replied to 2QuickZ's's topic in Member's Rides Showcase
Sounds like a nice ride...especially at that price. -
That is one of the few cars that really can't/shouldn't try to get away with a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder. It is excessively heavy for its size and in 4-cylinder guise, the transmission hunts for torque it will never find. 2.0T should be the bare minimum for that car.
