Ur-Turn: So Close, Yet So Far Away

A whisper in your earThere’s a particularly notorious car doing the press rounds lately…well, was doing the rounds. If you’re feeling generous about my job title, you could say I was the last automotive journalist to have a go at the Dinan S3-R BMW 1M before the keys were handed to its permanent owner.

Jeff S For a commuter vehicle this would be good especially at 1 $100 a month. Just keep in mind that you would not want to travel long distances but for a 2nd or 3rd vehicle and short errands and commuter trips this would be ideal if you have a home charger.
Jeff S I had a 1985 silver Mitsubishi Mighty Max (black and blue side pinstriping) with 4 on the floor, gray vinyl bench seat, and AC for 14 years and put 200k miles on it. I bought mine 2 years old at a Cadillac dealership in Houston with about 30k miles on it. Good little truck and I put it through the ringer hauling 2 x 4s, rocks, soil, mulch, gravel, lawn equipment, appliance, furniture, and anything you can think of. I only paid $3,500 for it and added a rear bumper, stereo, bedliner, tie down hooks on the side, and built up the rear leaf springs to make it a 1 ton with extra heavy duty shocks. I even pulled out a tree stump with it. It was the first compact pickup I ever owned and with a 7 foot bed there wasn't too much it wouldn't haul. Too bad CAFE standards and manufacturers just wanting to build the largest truck they can have eliminated compact trucks with the exception of the Maverick and Santa Cruz which have small beds. My 99 S-10 extended cab had about a 6 foot bed and was a smoother riding truck but the Max was a great little truck and did everything I wanted it to do. I like my 22 hybrid Maverick but I would also like it to have at least an extra 6 inches on the 4 foot 6 inch bed.
MaintenanceCosts Test drove the Leaf before buying a Bolt. It was a much worse drive. And CHAdeMO sucks. So not remotely interested.
