I don't think it is necessarily an issue of cost. These tires are huge and take up a lot of space in one's garage. So it is often a case of space.

I agree BUT I consider myself reasonably knowledgeable and I have no clue how to check the oil on my GV60 Performance! 😁

My problem with my Genesis GV60P is the opposite. I would bave assumed that a performance vehicle would come with summer tires for a sale in greater Phoenix but, no, I had to replace the Michelin Primacy Tour A/S with Pilot Sport 4S tires. I recognize that it is difficult to give every...

And the new med level car will likely have DD3 and the replacement Air will likely have DD4. As you say...that is a fact of life. Technology does change more quickly these days.

OP: unless I missed it I don't see any indication of the conditions you face in the winter. Are you driving often in snow? If yes...just a sprinkling or lots? Much ice? Elevation changes in your normal driving? Going from pure winter tires to all season tires will be an adjustment. Some...

That might be the result of using performance summer tires. When i changed from fairly standard All Season tires to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires I had two significant impacts: (1) the car felt very much more planted to the road; and (2) The road noise was very much louder. Lucid is walking a...

There is definitely a significant difference in car attitudes between Europe and North America. Unfortunately, for those of us in Canada or the United States, we tend to go for the immediately cheap solution. My example is a relatively large SUV. Volkswagen made a terrific high end SUV called...

Interesting. One only has temp tags if one has recently purchased/leased the car. The manufacturer would have manufacturer or dealer tags and license plates so it doesn't need temp tags. I didn't think that Gravities were actually being currently sold. As an aside, on Black Friday I drove to...

I agree. I used to live in Greenwich Village. If one is living in Manhattan, is a car really necessary or even desirable? I sold my car before I moved to the City and didn't buy another until I had moved out. If I was going on a trip and needed/wanted a car, I would rent it. My wife and I...

It is amazing EXCEPT that what meets the definition of "little things" varies widely. One of my objections to Tesla is that the company doesn't offer many options. Tesla decides how you should like your car and take it or leave it. For example, at least offering a HUD option would make living...

I agree. For me. one reliable backup is adequate. I went through my moment of concern when I was replacing my phone. I had driven to the phone company store and while I had intended to take my fob, I forgot. I realized that I was dependent on my phone working as it was in the middle of the...

yes. Don't confuse them with kitchen cabinet soft close doors. If you slam automotive soft close doors, the doors will close hard.

I just read the law in Virginia (I am assuming the sale was consumated in Virginia). It appears from a quick reading that a demonstrator can be sold as a new car so long as there is a disclosure presale signed by the customer if the demonstrator was used for >750 miles. So if this requirement...

Agreed value coverage is great. Eliminates all the arguments about depreciation and comps and the two major carriers doing that are both excellent. BUT, isn't there always a but, this type of insurance is much more expensive than traditional insurance.

I used to live in NYC. The OP is not exaggerating. The worst thing is that with the bigger swings in temperature (summer extreme heat; winter extreme cold) I suspect that it will cause even more problems with street maintenance. As a current Arizona resident, like you, there is no comparison...

Yes, I absolutely deplore the Polestar 3 internal view. Given the right design, either a vertical or horizontal screen can look good and given the wrong design, it can look awful. This seems to me to be to be the latter. While it is true that one can program a new function easily into a...

The first question, it seems to me, will be establishing that you can do so legally. One does need separate insurance to drive in Mexico and many auto leases and financing agreements may have terms regarding international travel. Driving without complying with these terms might be possible but...

My view is that CR is very good for reliability since it is subscriber reports, not haters and fanboys. But if one likes performance cars, like I do, I ignore much of the rest of the CR ratings although the detailed description of good and bad is helpful, and the road test reports can be...
