The Difference Between Leasing & Financing

Jun 9 2014

Both have monthly payments, but think of it like renting VS buying a home…

In leasing you give back the car,
in financing you end up owning it.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

Remember: the thrill of new wears off long before the payments do.

1973 – When a Side Mirror was Optional

May 29 2014

Chatting with Honda’s Senior Manager of Product Planning Hayato Mori about the difference between the first-ever Civic and today’s.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

Air conditioning was available only on the top trim, and was considered a luxury feature. An audio system was an upgrade, and the only option was AM radio. And vinyl seats!

1973 Honda Civic

1.2 L engine
4-speed manual transmission
50 hp
4.7 L/100 km fuel economy

Apparently, many dealerships keep a ’73 Civic in the showroom, if ever you’d like to sit behind the wheel of olden times.

***

I saw a great ’73 Civic in Miami – here.

Safety Aids are Overrated

May 26 2014

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

When was the last time you checked to ensure the software on your car was updated, or that the sensor was clean of debris and able to operate correctly?

Use your eyes guys.

Could a Scent Improve your Drive?

May 21 2014

Many automakers believe so. Some add proprietary leather scents, others use systems to perfume the cabin.

Read it online at Autonet.

Read it below clockwise.

Favourite line:

Rolls Royce quietly perfumed the interiors of customer’s cars, and afterwards, the customers informed the auto shop that their car was returned “different, and better”.

***

This is the Mercedes‘ “active perfume system.”

And Ford’s recommended driving smells.

I strongly disagree with Basil.

1/3 of Traffic is Caused by People Looking to Park

May 14 2014

Read it online at Autonet.

The average time spent looking for
a curb parking spot is 8 minutes.

Favourite line:

Cities need to find the sweet-spot price of curb parking. If the price is just right, about 1 of 8 spots will be vacant, reducing search time, and therefore congestion.
