Fuck dude, I drove 94 Acclaim across the country, and it was a pos then, but I miss that car. My current is a 05 Sierra, barebones, not even a radio anymore, I really like that it doesn’t have much to break, and it’s decently cheap to fix still

dick_fineman@discuss.online 1 day agoI think they were doing the Nissan Versa like that for a while too. But it’s definitely not common and should be for cars that aren’t economy-boxes. And just to lay my shit out, I guess, my progression was: 1991 Plymouth Acclaim, 1990 Chevy Caprice Classic (loved that car), 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo (it blew up!), 2007 Hyundai Tucson, 2012 Hyundai Tucson.
I AM in the market for a new car…eventually. Have replace the engine on this one already and know it’s on its last legs. But I don’t see anything out there that I actually like. I kinda liked the Challenger, I guess…but I honestly am thinking about going back to cars from the 90s/80s again. I legit miss my Caprice.

A friend of mine had a Caprice Classic. Such a good car. It was soft and smooth and the economical 305 V8 made good torque while still getting good mpg!

It was a boat on wheels. But mine only got 7MPG. And that “twilight sentinel” nonsense never worked right.

Oh wow. The one my friend had got almost 20. He gave me a hard time because it got better mileage than my Jeep XJ of the time.

My 2016 versa is crank windows, no power locks, no cruise control, 5-speed manual transmission, no touch screen/complicated electronics in the dash. It’s been really nice minus I do miss cruise control.
