“Replace me with a TourX? Yeah, right.”

Kinja'd!!!

The electronic parking brake decided not to work, for some reason. I turned the car off and back on again and all was normal. Maybe it’s just a warning like “Quit trying to get rid of me, damn it.”

If that’s what that means, the Passat is being a clingy motherfucker.

My Golf does the opposite. The second I start seriously consider getting rid of it, all the issues go away.

Mazda is good at this. My 3 decided to kill its AC compressor the day after I bought a Focus ST to replace it

Just sold my wife's Mazda3 without it objecting. It probably wanted to get an owner that would drive it more.

My work truck's transmission killed itself the day I was unloading all our work gear from it as it was being replaced. They know, man.

Ah man, if the light stayed on, it would have been the perfect time to convince your  wife that the Mazda is starting to fall apart, and therefore, it’s clearly time to trade it in on something like say.... I don’t know.... a red Regal TourX

Mine has  been fine on that front. Once, the blind spot monitor had some error and turned itself off, but it never happened again. And this happened yesterday. Hasn’t come back on since, though.

His wouldn’t start because of an electrical issue (not battery or alternator), the infotainment will break or freeze intermittently and sometimes pulling over and turning the car on and off works but sometimes it doesn’t, he also gets a lot of warning lights and he’s only had his for a couple years now. He was talking about replacing it but then he  rear ended someone and the front isn’t great anymore. The bumper isn’t lining up straight anymore. No one got hurt though.

Yikes. Mine has been a great car aside from the brakes. They wore out way too soon. It’s a common problem.

The only reason I want to trade mine for a TourX is because the TourX is discounted like crazy, I want a wagon, and I don’t particularly care for the Outb ack.
