Aaaaannnd sold.

I have never used Vroom, but some members of a car club I'm in have had bad experiences including delays, incorrect paperwork, and problems with the cars themselves. Has anyone here used Vroom? Want to comment on the experience?

When that exact car (VIN) is entered into their "sell your car" page, the offer they make to purchase it is $36,600.

Your kids will fit well into a CTR, no problems. I am 6'2" and have a 12 year old that sits behind me, in a carseat, in that car and we each have ample leg room. The CTR will retain value much better than the 2.0t. The CTR is much more fun to drive. Personal preference, the hatch is more...

Has anyone run 245/40 on the stock rims? Seems like they might rub. Is anyone driving on run flats?

Today someone drove around me taking photos.

Yes, I completely understand that and agree. For my situation, run flats on other cars have been very worthwhile for me. I may drive several hours a day to fairly remote locales and there have been occasions where run-flats meant I could get home that night vs wait for a tow, get a hotel, find...

Thanks for bringing some needed reality into this discussion. For clarity, was your CTR free, as in you received it as a gift, or you used profits from your investments to pay for your CTR?

No. You know how most people testing a performance oriented car will drive. I know how I test-drove it. If this is a car you intend to have for any period of time (as opposed to try to flip for a profit) then no, I would not, especially at sticker price. The dealership has a legitimate...

Anyone using run-flats?

Have certainly thought about that. How have you secured it in the trunk? I'm already a bit concerned about driving a 'smaller' car on public roads, which around here are filled with Yukon drivers updating their instagram accounts as they careen through intersections. It would be preferable to...

Can you share the details of your spare wheel and tire setup? I am probably going to go this route although considering all-season run flats on 18" rims for winter.

My local dealer says they have a 2019 arriving in Feb/March. No info on any possible changes.

Exactly.

Relevant to this conversation, my BMW has spent almost 2 weeks of the past 3 months in the shop for relatively normal problems, i.e. nothing bizarre that took a week to diagnose. It's a huge pain and burdensome. Yes, it is covered by warranty and yes they gave me a loaner, but even on a $100k...

No trim details?

Like Wilysnet I drove it and several of the competitors. I agree that the X3 drives the best (there is one in my garage at the moment) but really is not IMO that much better, especially at the higher price point and lesser predicted reliability. I thought the RDX felt most similar to the Macan...

Yes, BMW and Mazda have had the tech on manual cars for at least a couple years. The engine may stall if the clutch pedal is not depressed, but it will stop your car if it so chooses.

There is one in my preferred color coming to my dealer at the end of September and I am contemplating buying that versus waiting for the 2019. Knowing if there are any changes would make it a much easier decision.

Good point. I was just looking for an excuse to squeeze in a Shakespeare quote. I should have pretended I was lamenting the end of the 2018 run ("Why must you be here, 2019 model year?") but no, I just didn't put enough thought into it. Thanks for pointing it out so others don't repeat my...
