- PaulHoule 1y agoI think the car industry's nightmare is that the average person thinks that whatever car Consumer Reports thinks is a good car is a good car. There was this discussion today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44424136 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44424136 where HNers who participated mostly drove practical, older and boring cars. (Maybe somebody who drives a BMW didn't say anything because they thought we'd laugh at them) Kinda funny because I my son just bought our second vintage American car ('79 Ford Thunderbird) but the title is in my name so I can insure it at a reasonable rate. For some cars you have to know what the engine is because the bottom trim level is awful. Maybe somewhere flat you can get away with the bottom trim level Subaru SUV but you can't around Ithaca.
