Road trip selection....
Mitsubishi Sport gas hog....️
Accord thrifty but never relaxed...
It feels like a 70s muscle car with a 4 spd manual that you leave in 3rd gear.
Always torqued up
Mitsubishi 2L and cvt so improved it comes off as a lazy V6 with auto trans....32 mpg average in daily driving, no start stop, all the safety features but plain and simple....
You can drive it and work the HVAC etc. without looking
My cheapness wants me to use the Accord . But the Mitsubishi most likely is a better trip choice.
Still deciding which to use...
Kcjeep no doubt will hone in on the cheapness lingo while seated in his new gorgeous green furniture
Maybe it's because I don't drive much faster than 70, but I think my 2019 Accord Hybrid would be a great road trip car.
My Passat GT was the smoothest most comfortable cruiser I've ever owned.

I believe you.
I went to buy one and it was gone so i got the Arteon
Five percent is really good.
I use a debit card via Apple pay, I don't get nuttin'. Another example of why I'm broke and you are rolling in it.
Gas is cheaper here though; I pay under 3 for 87 and the 93 Premium Ultimate I've been putting in the Stang has been steady at $3.47 for quite a while.

Historically the price of gas up here has been significantly higher than in the US but right now at the Costco near my girlfriends place it’s around $1.20 per liter, which works out to $3.32 US per gallon. Not bad. For the longest time we were closer to $5 US per gallon

This was a cheapness alert.... for KCJEEP
What about “ Made in America”. Does that come into play?

No as long as it's not made in China

My girlfriend told me that she saw gas at her Costco this week for $1.139 per liter so that’s $3.15 US per gallon. But when I filled up there yesterday it was $1.199 per literHistorically the price of gas up here has been significantly higher than in the US but right now at the Costco near my girlfriends place it’s around $1.20 per liter, which works out to $3.32 US per gallon.

I can't complain on top tier price here
We are next door to many refineries but rarely get good prices
I guess we can't complain too loudly around here. I use QT because they are Top Tier and convenient. Regular unleaded since the Pilot is fine with 87 octane. The station closest to me is significantly higher than the other two, but it's their newest location right off the interstate.
We had a 97. That generation could be very long lived if you treated it like an on-road vehicle. It had the drivetrain and brakes of a truck but the unibody was less durable when ‘wheeling. Suspension was not capable of safely towing its rated class III capacity. Engine and transmission were bulletproof, seats were good, steered like a car. Bumper could be rebent into shape with hand tools. It was an odd mix of awesome and ok. Great urban snow commuter.
I guess being in that Amish buggy's draft helped your mileage.....

I called Honda to schedule an appt for a minor issue and a software update issue.
I scored a loaner car for Friday.
They said they have a few but only on certain days. I told them I can bring it in any day and for them to pick the day and time.
She said it will be here waiting for you. Saved me $70 in Uber fees...

So how is the new eBlazer doing real world?
Recalls or issues?
Wife might want, afraid of issues.
Don't hold back.

The Blazer EV has been out for a bit but the SS is here, and I love it! 0-60 in 3.4 
I'd probably be willing to give up CarPlay (which I picked the Prologue over the Blazer EV in the first place) to have such a spicy vehicle. The Equinox EV we picked up last week doesn't have CarPlay and honestly, while annoying, it's not as annoying as I thought it would be.
