    2019 Honda HR-V Sport AWD

    I wish Honda would put the Si 1.5T or the 2.0T in these, or Subaru would put the WRX engine in the Crosstreck. Was wanting one of these little crossovers for a little more versatility, but ended up with a Si coupe instead.

    Ever trade in a new car shortly after purchase?

    What was the deal with the Miata? They are actually on the list of cars to trade for.

    Ever trade in a new car shortly after purchase?

    Not saying I'm really going to do it, but I've thought about it several times. Long story short is that I researched for about 7 months on a car, and finally settled on a new version of my old car. Anyway, I guess it may be because I'm older, but I'm not feeling it after a few months of...

    New car, nearly

    Had a 2007 that I wrecked not too long ago. Liked it so much that after months of looking into every car under the sun, I bought a 2019 model.

    Opinions on cordless weed trimmers for suburban yards?

    I live on a wooded lot, but there is no thick grass or weeds, just the normal stuff around objects that a mower can't get. Anyway, I'm thinking of picking up a cordless trimmer. Anyone have one?

    New car, nearly

    Probably would of bought one of these if they had the WRX engine and trans in them, but ended up with a new Civic Si instead.

    Do you feel very uncomfortable when test driving new cars?

    Especially when the dealer is in an unfamiliar area? I feel like a complete idiot every time I test drive one.

    Stupid question, but ever buy a car with no way to get it home?

    Haven't bought the car yet, but the ones I'm looking at are about 30 miles away, and I'm not trading in my current ride. Don't have anyone near that can give me a ride, and not even sure if there is a taxi or uber in my area. Strange situation I'm in.

    Can you get a better deal on a new car if you finance?

    Where you able to talk them down more than the so called internet price? The new Forester Sport and Outback 3.6R are the ones I'm interested in most. Doubt I'll be able to get a decent deal on the Sport as they are selling fast here, and we have no snow (Arkansas). I guess tax return time is a...

    Can you get a better deal on a new car if you finance?

    Subaru is one of the makers I'm looking at. Think the Forester is about 3.5%. Anyway, does that low percent based on you paying the $33K original price, or the $30K "internet price" most dealers have? I've been out of the car game so long that I have no clue as to how most of this stuff works...

    Can you get a better deal on a new car if you finance?

    I've got cash to pay for any of the cars I'm interested in, but I've heard you can actually get a better price on cars if you play the finance game for a couple of months, then pay it off in full. Am I wrong, or is it better just to be up front and pay cash? Also, what about some that have very...

    Anyone here drive a new or newer WRX or STI?

    That gray or silver is what I want. Did he drive an STI before he chose the WRX? STI is only about $35 more every six months on insurance for me, but t is about $10K more expensive.

    Anyone here drive a new or newer WRX or STI?

    I know I ask a lot about different cars, but it is getting close to the time that I am going to have to get something, or I'm going to be on foot. Anyway, I plan on buying new, and the WRX and STI are about the only thing I can find that are actually on the lot, have a manual, and in a color I...

    Would you take a Japanese made car over an American mad car of the same make?

    Seems some makes have certain models that are made in Japan, and some in America or elsewhere. Subaru Foresters are made in Japan, yet the Outback is made in the US. Some Toyota RAV4's are made in Japan, while others are made elsewhere. Anyway, is there generally a quality difference in say, a...

    Are Kia and Hyundai built on par with Toyota or Honda?

    Got my eye on a few of their cars, especially the turbo'ed Sportage SX. Do they generally hold up like a Toyota?

    Any thing to be leary of using a "free" online tax service?

    Just did both my state and federal by hand, and used H&R Block online (I didn't submit it yet), and they came out the exact same. H&R Block GTG???

    Anyone had a look at the new Honda Passport?

    I drove by the Honda place today and they had several, and I think they look pretty good, especially the Elite model in gray or silver. Only thing I don't like is the $40K+ price tag, which is Toyota 4Runner territory. Whats up with these CUV's in their upper trim levels costing so much?

    Any thing to be leary of using a "free" online tax service?

    I've always done a Federal 1040EZ myself and sent it in the mail, but am exploring online options like Turbotax, etc as long as they are free. Anyway, are these places reliable, and do they send you a copy for your records? What about sending a copy of the W2? How does that work?

    Getting extremely frustrated while searching for a car.

    I've actually looked into everything from the Miata to the Toyota 4Runner. 4Runner, Forester, etc makes more sense to most people, but I like the casket/cockpit/personal space/go-cart feel of a small car.

    Getting extremely frustrated while searching for a car.

    Kind of like some Subaru's, but I'll admit I'm kind of scared of their reliability, and there are not many dealers around. With Toyota and Honda, there are several dealers, and one of each about 10 miles from my house. Local Honda place was great when it came to having the Civic I had serviced.
