Car Talk -- Helping Each Other Fix That Shit

I asked the new driver, who (to put it mildly) knows such stuff:

  1. Civic hatchback (though “the new model is more like a sedan liftback than a hatch”); 2.0L (“slower than 1.5L turbo but more reliable”); “hybrid coming soon” (presumably not as soon as you need)
  2. Corolla hatchback
  3. Mazda 3 hatch (most expensive)
  4. Impreza hatch (least expensive; worst MPG due to AWD – but my 2015 Crosstrek is essentially an Impreza, and in 7 years, besides the normal wear on tires, brakes, etc. I’ve only had to refill the refrigerant)

Also the Chevy Spark but that’s not as nice as your Fit.

Or, just for fun, a used BMW i3, 2015 or newer & ideally w/ range extender (“coded to Euro spec” – Oh boy he’s doing it again…)
