Season 4 Speed

This week we were lucky enough to attend a Lexus driving event here in Minnesota. We were able to drive the brand new IS 350 F Sport, LC 500 coupe, and the RC F! This was a great chance to get a sneak peak in to these cars with public road driving and a (very) small coned coarse. We got in to a few other new models from lexus to discuss. Thankfully with our delay in dealership drives we had two fans bring their cars down for reviews. A 2001 Subaru Forester with 2003 WRX engine, shifting through a 2007 Legacy transmission. Of course with a few other mods to go along, this build is early in its life and already a unique fun driving experience! Not supercharged, but a Turbo Cobalt SS sporting all kinds of fun add ons brings this car to a torque steering little monster pushing over 20 pounds of boost when the tune is turned DOWN!

This week Kyle purchased a 1998 BMW Z3 2.8i with a 5 speed manual! This car is optioned up fairly heavily checking every options box and then some, with a few individual factory options. We compare it to an AP1 Honda S2000! Finding that these two cars have clearly been designed with two different goals in mind. Check outhttp://kandiauto.com [http://kandiauto.com]to see some of the cars we will be reviewing in future episodes! We are really happy to have them on board as a partner dealership, find their facebook and give them a follow for us!

This week our friend Justin Mauricio at AutoNation Ford White Bear Lake, handed us the keys to a 2018 Taurus SHO and 2013 Focus ST! The SHO certainly lived up to its "dad car" reputation while falling a little short in the spirited driving abilities. The Focus was an absolue vlast for the money. Cheap, small, quick, sporty seats, decent exterior styling, all adds up to a pretty good car! We discuss some of the progress being made on the E30 engine swap, and give some updates on modifications being made to the S4! https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2013-ford-focus-st-white-bear-lake-mn-id-1fadp3l92dl334971 [https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2013-ford-focus-st-white-bear-lake-mn-id-1fadp3l92dl334971] https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2018-ford-taurus-sho-white-bear-lake-mn-id-1fahp2ktxjg119724 [https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2018-ford-taurus-sho-white-bear-lake-mn-id-1fahp2ktxjg119724]

Thanks to Daystarr Motors in Minnesota we were able to put together two great comparisons for this episode! Getting in to both an N54 and updated N55 335i's to find out if this car could really live up to the hidden M3 hype online. Finding that this car may not live up to a full M expereince it is still a very affordable sports car. Copmaring the X5 and GL 450 was a great chance to see how two SUV's that are desgined to fit different lifestyles really fit the prices that come along with each.

This week we were able to line up two direct comparisons thanks to a new partner dealership Daystarr Motors! We compare a 2011 A6 to a 4-matic E 350 from 2014 and find the pric egap is well deserved but may not be worth it to most buyers. The 2013 Civic Si may be a few years behind the 2018 WRX but we still found entry level sport car driving expereinces in each and thought it would fit a good price comparison. http://www.autobase.com/cgi/info.exe?bc=14921047&dealer=daystarr [http://www.autobase.com/cgi/info.exe?bc=14921047&dealer=daystarr] https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2014-mercedes-benz-e-class-e-350-luxury-white-bear-lake-mn-id-wddhf8jb8ea832130 [https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2014-mercedes-benz-e-class-e-350-luxury-white-bear-lake-mn-id-wddhf8jb8ea832130] https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2013-honda-civic-sedan-si-white-bear-lake-mn-id-2hgfb6e57dh703643 [https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2013-honda-civic-sedan-si-white-bear-lake-mn-id-2hgfb6e57dh703643] https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2016-subaru-wrx-limited-white-bear-lake-mn-id-jf1va1j63g9824209 [https://www.autonationfordwhitebearlake.net/vehicle-details/2016-subaru-wrx-limited-white-bear-lake-mn-id-jf1va1j63g9824209]
