I got rid of my 2016 SS with around 115k miles, but I went through my credit union. It was Route 66. I think I put it on at around 80k, but it only cost me if memory serves around 2300k. It was...

Same on the outskirts of the greater Houston area, like I had mentioned in my earlier post. Some builders are discounting houses by thousands of dollars and offering low interest rates if you use...

Sure thing. That was one thing that surprised me is when the turbo kicks in at low speeds it gets up quick. It drops off fast, though, at 40. Would be a great car for winter, even without the AWD...

Yeah. I hear you. The dealer service writer thought I was nuts changing it at 500, and was actually quite rude about it. It might not be necessary for breaking in these engines, but not taking any...

Exactly. Now what was a budget-friendly car GM produced will climb in cost exponentially. And I doubt GM will "choose to eat" that cost, or any other manufacturer for that matter. They just care...

Got you. I don't know how reliable it's going to be, and with a 3-cylinder with a turbo, wet timing belt, my bullsh** meter kicked in, having worked on engines and cars for years.

But that...

Yeah, it's the Activ trim. That's one of the two top trims on the Trax. They have a 2RS, which is also a top trim, for the same price that gets 19-inch rims, where mine are 18-inch. They're also...

Traded in my 2016 1SS 6-speed I drove daily since October 2016. Thought I'd shed a tear when I drove off the lot, but none were shed. I had 115k on the car, and it was starting to become a money...

On long trips with the cruise control on with my M6 I've got 31 on a few occasions. It's usually in the 26 to 29 range, though. Not bad at all for a 455HP car.
