Well colour me mauve and call me a turtle!  They sure as hell don't advertise that stuff...no wonder they don't sell any cars.  Thanks!  Too bad the reviewer didn't like it...otherwise I'd be down for one. How can a diesel manual not be good?

Well, for one that combination can be in a Cruze….

With a Cruze diesel, you'd cut your fuel bill by 40%.

Hilarious.  It's amazing how much nicer old BC cars look compared to Ontario cars.

Can't remember exactly but it's over 200k. I think it's an '02. Previous owner did a ton of work in the last few years including the timing belt.

This is possibly replacing his '99ish Civic hatch. He wants to use it to go camping/road tripping.

Also looked at a '97 LX450 that he really wanted to buy but it had some frame rust, oil leaks, needed a U-joint and brakes all around, etc. This was the same price and is in near-perfect shape and has way fewer KMs. Definitely doesn't have the cool factor of the Lexus though, or the three locking diffs.

For those who walk away from their desks at work and leave their cell phone behind... it should be legal to smash said phone into very small bits as it rings incessantly.

Sellers of cars - what's so great about a car that's never driven in the rain?  Does that mean you know it leaks...and "didn't know" because you "don't drive it in the rain"?  I like driving in the rain.  All that clean water rinses all the shi# off the bottom of the car.  And the bugs off the front.  And I know my car doesn't leak.

The Z3M is a blast to drive in the rain.   It just begs to wag its tail at every turn.  The only problem for me is that my hair brushes the headliner when the top is up making for short drives only.

^Jeeze. I shouldn't be surprised. BMW styling went off the rails with Bangle, and never really recovered.

My lowly Jetta looks classier.
