Yeah, they’re boring four-door automatics. We don’t get a lot to go on regarding its mechanical condition, but a quick inspection by someone who knows what they’re looking for should tell you what you need to know. It looks good, and it’s a great shade of blue, even better than that Scion earlier this week. I mean, no one has any idea whether a Maserati’s odometer stops before 300,000 miles. But the fact that that’s a well-known problem speaks highly of the car’s engineering and build quality. But no matter how well you care for it, this car will never see 300,000 – the odometer simply won’t go that high it stops at 299,999. It’s in good condition, especially for being north of 200,000 miles. In other words, they’re both just plain decent cars. They’re not the most exciting things on four wheels, but they’re both known to be reliable and durable, both have plenty of space for people and stuff, and both are all-wheel-drive, which is a benefit during a winter like the one we just had. The fact is, there are actually some decent cars available for the sort of money we usually deal with, and I feel it’s only fair to occasionally feature a couple of them. The cries of “ugh, neither” and “what did we do to deserve this?” don’t go completely unheeded. Now then: I know I subject you all to a lot of really strange and crappy piles of junk. I do hope the Victor finds a forever home, though it would be a shame if it just kept rotting away. But that little black Renault is hard to resist. Mon dieu that poor Vauxhall never stood a chance. Crazy, huh? I have a feeling I know which car won yesterday’s battle of the weirdos, but let’s confirm it: Good morning! Today we’re in the Chicago suburbs, looking at two cars you could actually, you know, drive.
