There is virtually no difference between the better regular models (e.g. Subaru, Toyota, etc.) and the luxury models these days. They score about the same in tests. They have essentially the same safety equipment. The luxury models are a little quieter, have better speakers, have nicer...

Pricing is crazy on these things. Not surprising that is where GM makes most of their profit.

+2 on Focal. Best speakers I've ever owned. They have an OEM replacement line that is pretty reasonable, their high end stuff (expensive and needs amps) sounds like great home equipment.

Becoming a Swiss citizen is like belonging to a snooty country club. If you have to ask, they don't want you. It's hard to become a Swiss citizen even when you are married to one.... and try to learn Schweizerdeutsch ; my Mom grew up there, is a native German speaker, and still could not speak...

The CR reports have been spot on for me. Very happy with the RT43's we purchased as a result. They are very good in snow and rain.

Costco has 7 lb bags of Bob's Red Mill organic steel cut oats. We eat a lot more oatmeal than cereal ; it's more filling and has fewer calories.

I used to hate the old ladies slowing down traffic. Now I realize how many speeding tickets they saved me!

You should have your product shipped to one of the border specialists and they will hold it for you to pickup. They have offices at all of the major crossings. It will cost a lot less than $300.

Considering that you may be driving in SD and Nebraska during the winter, I would also look at a Subaru Legacy. Highway mileage is decent, mid-30's and you are very unlikely to be stuck in a snow or ice storm. Bad weather hits hard and fast on the plains. They are also very comfortable and...

Thanks for the review! We leased an LE Camry of this generation , except in green. I especially loved the huge trunk which was big enough for a family to take serious road trips. All it needed was an audio upgrade and it would have been perfect.

It's more miles than minutes to warm up, especially when it is cold outside. Our Honda V6 pumps out warm air in about 1.5 miles. Our Subaru B4 takes 3-4. Also consider that cold air will not feel warm until the engine is fully heated because the temperature gradient might be 70-90 degrees...

Whether to retire depends on your health, stress levels, and income situation. People tend to underestimate the amount of money needed to retire. Can you live for 40 years on your current retirement income, assuming your joint life expectancy is long and will both die in your late 90's? That is...

Too bad you can't get a manual in the USA.

For that price you might consider in a throwaway. Dump it if it breaks.

Why be concerned about such low miles? You'll only probably find one in an estate sale, or from an older person. A 2017 with 20 or 25K would be perfectly serviceable. Most will be dealer serviced. All you will need to purchase is a new set of tires, and to do some some oil and filter...

Subaru Forester. They have excellent visibility with very large windows, and a short seat cushion which makes it comfortable for short drivers, and are reliable and reasonably priced. I would avoid versions without power seats. Also look at Toyota Sienna (good visibility, short seats) and Kia Soul.

Bigger engine = faster warmup. Our Honda V6 is warm after about 1 mi of driving. Our Subaru Boxer 4 takes 3 or more miles before it starts to warm up. Another issue is heat if you live in an extremely cold climate (like N Ontario or Minnesota). In that case a vehicle with dual heaters is best...

I switched from Premier A/S to PureContact LS in a V6 2007 Accord. The Conti's are a better in snow/ice and handle about the same, but are wearing better. No difference in ride quality that I can tell.
