Yeah, I like the red. This was the exact model I would get IF I bought a RAV4 hybrid. It's $44,00. My 2017 Pilot was $36,000 and much more car with a better interior. Prices have gone nuts.
I paid 16,900 for my 03 when it was 2 years old with 16k on it.

I can think of an awful lot of vehicles that you can buy for under $80k.
AWD/4WD/all-wheel drive can develop some funny habits if you have a tire which is out of round or just a different diameter than it's running mates.
The differentials are always trying to compensate for it and they really don't like doing it.
I'm taking my 2017 Pilot in to the mechanic when I get back from CA. It has a rumble at 1800 rpm and around 35 mph, along with at other speeds. I just hit 68,000 miles on it.

I may go drive a Honda CR-V hybrid tomorrow. The Costco contact at AutoNation Honda 104 ,in Westminster, CO is dying to see the 2017 NSX. We have talked and texted. I sent him photos.

Oh, I reread it. The tires are all the same size and fairly new. It's not them.

Got the S going today, always amazes me car has been sitting for six months and runs like I have been driving it everyday. I put about 27 miles on it today taking it in Friday for a full once over and state inspection. Got the WRX inspected this morning it is quite a process now everything has to be photographed on the car and sent to the state. I went to an older guy who is a car hobbyist and I appreciated how much effort he put into taking the old sticker off cleanly and same with putting the new one on straight. Most places leave glue on the windshield from the old one and put the new one on crooked.

Yeah if you think about it the donut spare tires are pretty much useless also, on either of my cars anyway. On the ap1s if you have a blowout on a rear tire you are supposed to swap out a front tire/rim with the back and then put the donut on the front but I still wouldn’t want to chance running the two different size tires on the back even with them being relatively close. On awd my opinion is you shouldn’t use a donut at all. When I went on my trip I threw a proper size extra tire I had for the WRX in the back just in case.

Saw your post in the NY section buddy that’s great! You are late this year. I’ve driven mine only 2 days so far this season but I’ve put about 150 miles on it!
