  1. Quincy Jackson Subaru only has average reliability, and many issues as of lately. Kia is actually getting top marks for reliability in North America.

  2.  @devn3813  VW is trying to sell high end trims because that’s where the profits are. They don’t like to stock many S trims.

  4. 1. The Escape is not a mild hybrid. Please learn terms before using them. 2. The plug-in Escape will only be available in FWD, while the Hybrid is available in AWD as well. 3. You can rev the engine in a Prius. 4. Deep snow/sand shuts off traction control and maintains wheel spin. Slippery mode does the opposite: controls wheel slip and reduces throttle input.

  5. He’s right though. “Snow” tires haven’t existed for a couple of decades. There are tires with an “M + S” symbol on them, which are simply “All-Season” tires with extra tread and there are “winter” tires, which are made of a special compound that is softer at below 40°F, where “All-Seasons” harden AND have a narrower tread pattern to reduce drag in deep snow. “Snow” tires of yesteryear focused on deeper treads for deep snow and had available studs, but did nothing for loss of traction in cold weather on on slippery surfaces, which is why they were superseded by “winter” tires. If you want the closest thing to the old “snow” tires, get “all-terrain” tires.

  6. Tremaine Brown Ford is making its entire lone-up look the same way. Toyota is too. Many manufacturers are going for that signature look. How many times did you have to look on a BMW’s boot to see exactly which one it is? They’ve been doing it for ages!

  7. sic22l FACT: Nickel Hydride batteries last more cycles and hold a charge LONGER than Lithium Ion batteries in cold temperatures. Lithium batteries hold MORE charge overall (per pound) and perform better in above freezing temps.
