Recently added a VW Golf R wagon to the fleet - I'm quite liking it so far :)

Hubba hubba! Certainly wouldn't mind having one of those.

Do they sell the wagon R in Canada ?  IIRC they don't offer it in the US (VWoA are too busy selling SUVs like most other manufacturers).

After nineteen years I finally sold my '00 Nissan Frontier XE King Cab last week (only 78K miles), and have upgraded to my parent's 2010 Toyota Highlander (73K miles), since they recently bought a new vehicle to replace it (2018 Hyundai Tuscon SEL Plus).

I'm still rocking my 2004 GMC Sierra that I picked up in 2016.  Fantastic truck, does everything I need.

Any car news, anyone?
I'm driving this brand new BMW 1 series for a few days now that my Mondeo is being repaired (fender bender):



I'm looking for a replacement, I'll probably keep the Mondeo until December this year. The shortlist contains Polestar 2, Tesla Model 3 (or Y if it arrives in time), Ford Mustang Mach E, Volvo S60/V60/XC40... first world problems.
Does anyone here drive an EV?

How old is your kid?
Over here in the Netherlands exactly zero kids drive a car like that.

I went the local auto show and sat in a plug in Volvo XC60 and it was actually really nice. I'm not sure if they are available in your neck of the woods but nice when it comes to a hybrid/ev. How about a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV?

Oh yes I like the XC60. But for rather complicated fiscal reasons it's way too expensive for me.

Thanks to the same fiscal measures (https://business.gov.nl/regulation/company-lease-vehicles/) the Tesla Model 3 was one of the best selling cars in Q4 2019 over here in the Netherlands.

Hybrids are basically too expensive. A BEV is the best option for me but it has to be registered before 2021.

With some regret I sold on my Renault Koleos as it was clocking up the miles and showing it's age.  After a bit of searching and test driving I landed on a very boring but practical Ford Kuga AWD.

That could fit in the bed of the Tundra.  I also drive a Tundra, 4dr beast.  Its a great truck but its bigger than I need now.  I'll keep it since its paid off but I'd love to get a Tacoma.

Its funny but I do not fit in a Taco really?
The seating position is too low and I get uncomfortable almost right away especially badly on long trips which I need to do pretty often.
I also don't see the Taco getting much better MPG plus I need to be able to tow more than a Taco more safely.

This is my 4th Tundra and I love them because it is like sitting on my couch in the cab for me!
I keep trying different vehicles but none are nearly as comfy on long trips as the Tundy!

It is pretty silly huge though for sure,I had a Double Cab and shorter bed but I far prefer the Bed Space to the Cab Space and yet there is a crazy amount of space behind the seat of this one compared to my 1st Gen which I do still have!

I might have too many cars?
