Yeah, there's a lot of things on this site that I notice too. One in particular a few years ago was when a commenter on here was repeatedly complaining about how their vehicle wouldn't start and had to be towed to the dealership because the SYNC system was malfunctioning. Now there's some irony for ya.

This was a rental car in this review. We love renting late model cars when shopping for new ones and actually feel it’s far better than some brief new car test drive with a new car salesman bantering the whole way. There’s no maintenance by the way on a rental. Why not get a really nice one to drive. Luxury car special. We have new cars and still rent once in a while. And not just vacation taking an airport rental on arrival somewhere. If you are shopping for a new car, try this on a few ones you have narrowed down. We drive to visit a couple family members in Ohio from the east coast to be there by dinner. The nice thing is if a car does break down, you pick up another in the area. If your personal car goes down doing the same round trip, you may miss work on Monday. We get the weekend special and it’s cheap and fun to try them out.

I own a 2001 Toyota Corolla. I've thought about buying something newer, modern and with cutting edge features. Once upon a time, I owned new, higher end vehicles. And I've bought to resell several in recent years and none have impressed me enough to want to keep them. So here I am, driving my 23 year old Corolla that I bought used 10 years ago (I also have a 1996 GMC Sierra for 12 years that I rarely use, usually just to pull one of my trailers) and my insurance premium is dirt cheap, my registration is dirt cheap, the A/C blows ice cold, everything works and I've needed ZERO repairs other than routine. And you know what else? I have ZERO debt, I paid my 3 bedroom, 2 bath house off in 15 years, my bills are paid, I have nice things inside my house and garage that I enjoy AND I have a very substantial amount of cash and precious metals socked away in my safe. Not blowing money on the "latest and greatest" has served me very well.

I happened upon this Carsurvey review because I have the potential to buy a low mileage 2014 Accent hatchback that I thought maybe would be a nice replacement for the Corolla due to the cargo space. (I currently have a low mileage 2015 Accent in the driveway that is getting ready to be flipped soon.) But ultimately, I'll probably keep the Corolla and pass on the shiny, low mileage 2014 Accent... I'd be a fool to part something that's been so loyal.
