I don't disagree, but that's not what you said. As a big fan of the V4 engine, one of the perfect engine configurations in the world, I didn't want people to think that *all* 4-cylinders sound the same. :)

Guilty, on multiple points. I don't mind the fact that the GR Corolla is smaller. Much like my old Integra, actually. I do have multiple cars. This would be car #3 (#4 actually, but one of my daughters drives my old Integra). The GR Corolla might be the most practical of the bunch (the ITS...

This is not true, in my opinion, if you go back in time a little. V-fours sound fantastic. Listen to some old Hondas.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of videos, including that one. This video was interesting, too: CTR (not ITS) in that comparison but still relevant here, I think.

Has anyone here cross shopped these two? I recently got a chance to test drive a GR Corolla Circuit Edition and I thought it was fantastic. I have also driven an ITS. For a daily driver I think the ITS would be nicer (smoother, more refined, more room, etc.). But the GRolla was more raw and...

In the case of the ITS, you're fine buying without a test drive. You can check ergonomics on a regular Integra, or a Honda Civic for that matter. Go for a test drive, see how they feel (without the high end performance). Tons of reviews online for both the CTR and ITS. History with the car...

Wow, they must be putting those same options on a lot of cars. I swear, I test drove a twin of the car you're describing down in Atlanta. Same exact options--floormats, Alcantara steering wheel, valve stem covers, blacked out badges, everything!

I finally test drove a Type S on Saturday. Loved how it would perform as a daily driver!!

I let my daughter drive my Integra ... and now the panel gaps are much worse. :(

Perhaps, but raising rates is treating the symptom, not the disease. The disease is the printing of fiat money not tied to real assets as well as legal tender laws. Both parties are happy to use this hidden tax.

It is not possible to "bring inflation back in line" as you say because the "money" has already been printed. Inflation, properly understood, refers to the growth in the supply of money NOT the resulting increase in prices. Can't say it better than von Mises and Friedman, quotes in this...

Sure he does, but that's precisely why their channel works. That's a *good* thing. Everyone has biases, including auto reviewers. Better that they're up front with those biases, in a fun way (my opinion). Then when they give an opinion, you can calibrate against their known biases. They may...

Agree on a lot of the above. It's funny, GM can't even bother to paint their cars well, it's embarrassing, but they *can* figure out how to tune that magnetorheological suspension! It is REALLY GOOD. Completely agree about the shifter and clutch being "multiple orders of magnitude" better...

You won't be disappointed by the 5BW, it's a blast. But you will be disappointed by GM (parts delays, huge delays shipping the car once built, cosmetic issues, etc.). I'd drop the CF if I were you, to get the car faster--just my opinion. I have the opposite reaction. BMWs in general are...

I like that Acura is slowly drifting back towards their "precision crafted performance" focus. Much better than the "we copy Lexus ... badly" and "we make cars with beaks!" design phases they went through in past decades. As such, I could not care less if the ITS gets a sunroof or not...

Another review that covered the Type R, against the GR Corolla and Golf R. About the GR Corolla: "More fun, all the time." "This brings out laughter and smiles and fun, every time I drive this car." They agreed that the Type R is a more refined, faster on the track, etc. "The Civic Type R is...

Maybe it wasn't a bad thing that I waited on my Integra... Honda does build a great manual transmission. But I've been fortunate to drive a car with a Tremec manual. Now I know why the reviews all rave about them ... it's because they're *that* good. Interestingly, the BMW manuals I've...

https://www.wardsauto.com/10-best-engines-propulsion-systems/more-juice-electrics-lead-way-second-consecutive-year Fascinating. List is mostly electric. And the few internal combustion engines on that list are not what I would have expected.

Completely agree. Along those lines, let me share a horror story with you. This gauge cluster, on my '22 Bronco, is the worst I've ever seen in any car in my life. Now, the gauge cluster doesn't diminish the fun of the Bronco, but it's a weak point in the vehicle. You get an analog...
