    164,000 miles on a Saab? What could possibly go wrong?

    Price is $3,150 asking. With cars like this, what you do is take a test drive.....alone...and drive the living crap out of it for 20 minutes....if it doesn't break down, leak, emit steam, make horrifying noises or light up the dash board, it's probably OK.

    when I posted they had not priced it. I would go $1,500 if it drove perfect. and had a stick shift.

    DETROIT (AP) — Honda says its Accord midsize car will be offered only with four-cylinder or gas-electric hybrid engines when an all-new version comes out later this year.

    The company says the smaller engines are sufficient for what its customers want. Only 14 percent of buyers in 2016 bought V-6 Accords.

    Honda released some details of the new Accord on Friday. The car will come with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a more powerful 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. A hybrid powertrain is optional. The smaller engine will get a continuously variable transmission, while the larger one will get a new 10-speed automatic transmission. Manual transmissions also are available.

    Honda says the new design has a more aggressive stance than previous Accords.

    Price and gas mileage and other details will be announced later.

    That Saab 9-5 is a really nice car. Way overpriced though. Maybe the unicorn factor is at play here.

    14% is still a big chunk. That's why they are offering a 2.0L Turbo and not just the 1.5.

    When you get used to a certain amount of power, you notice it when you drive slower cars. I don't mind winding a smaller engine out, so I can get by as long as the max HP output is sufficient.

    The 3.6 in the Subaru is definitely more quiet than the 2.5 at equal acceleration inputs.

    well, a turbo accord, with a stick, if it has a decent equipment level (as in, not a strippo) could be interesting! And a 2.0T motor in the accord, should be pretty quick (probably will run with the current V6 model).

    People like big SUVs and Minivans because they don't want to think about packing for a trip or similar- just throw in anything you might remotely need.

    Admittedly I did have to use some brain power and planning as to how I was going to fit that treadmill in the Wagon. Also, I had to take out a few screws (off and on - maybe 5 extra minutes spent). So the trade-off for 10 minutes of brain power and labor is less MPG and probably much higher initial cost on a larger SUV.

    Can't blame those that get the bigger car though, but how often do most really use all that extra space?

    Shouldn't you do that with any old car? Or is that what you meant by "cars like this?" I remember an old CRX test drive (owner went with me), and he made comments like "you sure have a heavy foot." I smelled burning oil, that was enough to turn me off.

    Interesting. Seems to be the trend, though. Less displacement and slap a tubo on it. That said, I like the current crop of 4 cyl turbos out now. BMW's, Audi's, Cadillac's, Mercedes' are the ones I've driven. All of them were peppy. Problem there, Honda's 6 is smooth as silk. If you're looking for that in a 4 cyl, you'll be disappointed.

    I think it's a power play to make you step up to Acura.  The loaded V6 Accord/Camry etc are too close to the luxury versions of the same brand.  

    It probably also streamlines production and lowers CAFE so all in all a big win for the manufacturers.

    anyway, proving once again that we are a bit out of the norm, the market speaks and says in mid size family sedans, the 4 cyl (and now, the small displacement turbo) is fine for them. the take rate for the V6 stays in the 10% range it seems. And the Turbo motor in the Sonata and Optima is probably just as low. Same reason we don't get sticks offered! Though at least the V6 is available.

    one difference I just realized that hurts too. The V6 is usually only on higher trim levels. The stick on just a sport model or strippo one.

    Camry used to offer the LE trim in V6 but they were really rare.   Most V6s were XLE. I have no idea what the trims are now.

    Back in 2002 when I got my '03 Accord Coupe V6, I got the rarest version imaginable!

    Imagine this:

    240 HP V6, but hub cap plastic wheel covers over steel wheels. No moon-roof. No leather.

    This was a "rare bird" as one dealer put it. The Accord LX V6 Coupe. It was a bargain compared to the EX V6 though! Had everything else, and the wheels are easily fixable. So if you don't like leather all that much, and you don't care for moon-roofs, it saved you a lot of money back then.

    The Solara at the time could be had in a similar configuration (even with a stick).  They probably sold about 7 that way.

    When I got my 2000 every V6 for miles was a full boat loaded SLE so that is what I got. I loved that car.

    Well I spoke too soon on Mershon's being stand up guys for agreeing to fix the issues with the 1963 split window coupe. They haven't ever come to pick it up. When I email, they say "next week". After 3 weeks I ask again and am told that they took a slim deal on the car and they won't "drop everything " to come pick it up. Then they say they have sold a car near me and they will get it in a few days but that was almost 2 weeks ago...

    Ahhh, the Accord had a stick option, but in the sedan you had to get a stripper, and with the coupe, it had to be a fully loaded EX if I recall correctly.

    I actually always liked the looks of the final gen sedan.


    I did as well. It was a great last gasp from Saab. If I had unlimited funds, time and mechanical and electrical knowledge I'd consider one.
    There is a sharp black one of those that I see often in our area, still looks good and contemporary. When Saab shut down I remember reading there was a huge lot with new unsold inventory Saabs just wasting away. I wonder what ever happened to them.

    a neighbor had a very late SAAB like that. I assume it was leased. A year or so ago got replaced by a nice Dodge Ram Big Horn PU

    Never too early to test drive right?  On the 20th the Elantra goes in for its first service so while I'm there waiting, I'm going to take take a Santa Fe out.  I'm hoping they have a fully loaded one to check out.  

    I figure I find I can squeeze in a test drive a month I'll know what's replacing the Enclave by the time it goes back in Dec.

    Out of town in Albuquerque for my son's baseball tournament, but had a chance this morning to catch up a bit on posts.
    • I like that last model Saab 9-5 too - very sharp. I suppose if it were cheap enough, it may be worth the risk to experience one.
    • I have quite a few voicemails from the newbie salesperson who showed me the Del Sol - "We have a few people inquiring about it, so if you're interested you may want to come in this weekend." Uh, yeah - I don't doubt that there are others interested in the car for the low miles. But anyone legitimately interested in the car knows a bit about the car and understands it is way way overpriced. A CRX with those low miles? They could probably get $7-8k from someone who just has to have it. Not a Del Sol. And if someone did? Go for it.
    • If that new Accord is available in a stick with the 2.0l turbo, I may find myself back in a Honda. That could potentially be the "mature" version of a Civic Si that I'd like.
    • Finally, my trip computer on the Durango showed around 22 mpg for the trip down - I'm thrilled with that, and happy I didn't let gas mileage get in the way of the upgrade from the V-6.
    Okay - I'm off to more baseball in the desert.

    Well to be fair, $1500 only buys you pieces of junk these days. Any basic decent car that you wouldn't be ashamed to drive, and that will actually get you somewhere, is going to probably cost you more than that, Saab or not.

    My uncle got $1600 for a ~98 LeSabre with 160K miles on it with non-working AC and a big dent in the fender. The engine had the dexcool/intake issue repaired at some expense at about 70K, and it had been maintained well and drove fine, but still an old car with some issues. The buyer was very happy with it, too.

    If I didn't care about cars, I would drive it. It will probably be reliable transportation for at least a couple years, and that's all a lot of people care about. My uncle is like that. My grandma gave him her old Taurus, he took it as it was newer and had very low miles. It's a transportation pod, he's fine with it.

    On the CCB idea, my friend who is thinking about MKZ lease end. He drove a CT6 hybrid today. MSRP 76K, get this - it had a "green car" ADM for an additional 10K. I laughed out loud when he mentioned it. He liked the car though - the reverse camera in mirror wows him, and he was impressed by the silence and smooth ride. Still a bit dear, I wonder what real world leasing will be towards the end of the year.

    I think there's something like that for the first 30K or so of MSRP, not a total break. I also think it might just be for EVs, and plug in hybrids/ I am not certain though, as very few of them appeal to me in the slightest way. I'd rather it be a MSRP-based restriction, but the social engineers still think it will trickle down or something. Probably put just enough strain on the power grid to hike our relatively low electricity rates.

    was pointing out some more vehicles to the wife that interest me, and will be on the list of ones to test drive. Though I still have not finalized a plan yet (could be anywhere from fancy new car, to cheap lease on a basic one, to a few YO model at a nicely depreciated price, to a cheap thing to barely use, or maybe no car at all. IOW all over the place).

    But on the list now are also a 2 door Wrangler (stick) and a Ram PU. Just don't ask me why. Along with all the other stuff already on it (too numerous to mention).

    Though if I needed a car today, that 2013 Mini S 6 speed is still calling my name!

    After needing to make multiple Lowe's runs for plants, potting soil, pots, and other misc. items either Ms. Pensfan or myself are going to be driving an SUV in 3 months.  The convenience factor of folding seats down and having all that space is appealing.

    @stickguy funny you added a Ram to the list because I parked near a GMC Canyon Crew Cab and thought of adding that to the list but I think my happiness with a truck would be short lived.

    I was really pushing the wife to allow us to get a sedan when the Enclave goes back but unfortunately the roominess is needed.  I came to this realization last weekend (I pretty much knew anyway) when one night we had both car seats and an extra passenger and then the next day I took a loveseat and chair to my SILs house.  Oh well...

There's still Ms. Pensfan's Altima if I really get the itch to drive a car though.

    And as for landscaping I actually find it very cathartic, even though today was pushing it with 87 degree temps outside. Got all of the herbs planted, some areas reseeded with grass, and plants planted. Productive day for sure.

    we will always have at least one utility vehicle I think. SUV now, Minivan when we had little kids. Maybe a wagon next time. Just way too useful.

    Today I got a call that our patio door was fixed (at local hardware store). Had my car at the time. Had to go back to get the Acura, since I discovered last week when I took it in, that the door was too wide to fit through the opening into my back seat. Fit fine in the RDX (though it did sit on top of the front headrests!).

    I just like having the big box space available when needed. But we really don't need 2 of them, but I would not mind a hatch or small wagon if I don't get another sedan. 99% of our driving is fine with the sedan, which is why having a PU of some sort as the 2nd car is intriguing. But I am pretty sure I would quickly tire of a FS one like a ram. A Canyon or Ridgeline could work. They are big but not too giant.
