    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    Respectfully the number of gen 2 Pilots still on the road makes this claim surprising. They aren’t sexy cars but when you have kids and need a useable third row, we have many friends who swore by them and still do, accumulating many years and miles with little fuss. I think the real issue is...

    3-Row SUV for Midlife Crisis

    Grand Cherokee L (if the third row is sufficient - go check for yourself). Don’t let the Chrysler haters that will come out of the woodwork deter you.

    Manual transmission used daily

    If no Euro cars (disagree but it is your money) then Subaru Impreza or Mazda 3. Could also look for the Toyaburu coupe, whatever they call it now. Best driving car you will get is the BMW recommended above.

    We run 5w30 in ours, no problems. Engine will likely outlast the rest if the unit.

    Local Mandate for state inspection dropped
