I have had them on my X3 and my mother's 325i (electrochromic) for many years now. In the latter vehicle, I was lucky enough to find an auction off eBay.de and thanks to my German skills, went thru...

None of the three states I frequently drive in use signs to regulate overtaking for multiple lanes in the same direction that merge together. That seems superfluous. Waste of signage in my opinion,...

That truck makes whoever's in the driver's seat look like a git.

I wonder how VW is going to price the new Golf in the US, seeing as how everyone complains it's pricey in Europe. $30k is pushing...

I tend to merge later and use the lane to near its full extent. After all, thats why the engineers built the extra pavement in the first place. It's particularly helpful in NC where there are three...

Without it, the Upstate would be mostly in shambles. Granted, the road infrastructure here is subpar but the state gov't is primarily concerned with attracting businesses (read: tax incentives). No...

I too compare vehicles based on segment, not price. I never understood how the latter works (like when people compare the X3 to say, a Toyota Rav-4 or Ford Escape).

Off-roading is fun folks. :D...

The GC doesn't really compare to the Q5, it's more the size of a X5/Q7/ML and actually rides on the ML-chassis.

I've been on a test drive with Meiac09 of the Q5 and it wasn't particularly...

I would actually consider an Allroad if I had the means. Who am I kidding though, I want a diesel in that vehicle. Built an Allroad 3.0TDI and that came out to €62k (incl. 19% VAT and registration)...

Good choice. Actually I like the F31 touring. If they made a lower-model 320d version I'd go for it. When I drove the X1, I thought it drove well but that was about it. I also drove a Tiguan Highline...

I just use a damp cloth and it's fine. If it's dirt, I might add a dab or two of mild soap/detergent but it's pretty durable and intended to bear the brunt of sunlight over many years.
