    Quick note, "metal" currency i.e. coins were not accepted when I had visited there. US currency more welcome than CAN$

    Normal car recommendation….

    Mazda's drive well and their quality of construction easily meets that of premium euro models. Took a test drive of a CX-30 turbo and this one is a "Q ship", it will easily compete with the likes of an Audi Q3 (a dressed up VW)!

    More recently, Mazda's have had rusting at suspension fastening points, this too has been sorted out. Another issue was a "fast battery drain", also sorted out. These two issues stemmed from QC at the ancillary suppliers end. The body rust, is a past story. (gleaned from their forum)

    Mazda's seem to be well thought of - anyone know of a reputable dealer in the west end ('Sauga and it's environs), that I can go to and try one on for size? (DM me) Thanks!

    The same reason for you are "guilty" if your dog attacks a trespasser on your property.

    Normal car recommendation….

    Not disagreeing with you, the Mazda 3 is a great little car. Though, other hatchbacks out there have more space and nowadays an 8 speed box or CVT is the norm.

    The first $100 oil change.

    I had to use a third party (not Blackstone) to convince the Dealer that the motor was running too cold to vaporize the blow-by (forced induction motor) fuel vapor and it was ending up polluting the crankcase oil. Turned out that this later was a nation-wide recall or TSB ( Dealers hate the word...

    Normal car recommendation….

    All of what you say is true. Two caveats: - a 6 speed slush box (nowadays 8 speed is the norm) - space, it is "tight" in there for both pax and cargo.

    Pickup Trucks

    Pick up trucks are a nice to have, but following the 95/5 rule they are not the best choice. The Escape may be gone after 2025 (no hard evidence, just hearsay) otherwise in upper trim levels it is a decent choice. Nissan has gravitated to the use of CVT transmission for most of it's models...

    Pickup Trucks

    Try the Hyundai SantaCruz, 2.5T motor (think Genesis GV 70), nice interior, 4ft or thereabouts box (tonneau cover inckuded) with underfloor storage, pax seats too have underseat storage, most of the gizmos are there and it has a price of around 40K. Drives like a car. Just for kicks, I tried one...

    900,000 students coming in…

    This suggested policy change makes sense (from the C.D. Howe Institute): On international students, we recommend reintroducing the cap on off-campus work at 20 hours a week that was waived in October 2022 and recently extended to April 30. Study permits have become de facto work permits, and...

    January Motorcycle Supershow - Jan 5-7 at International Center

    Thank you! Tho' I was hoping that the hall/stall numbers would have key'd to the Exhibitors. NP, the Show is always a good place to take in things "motorcycle", meet fellow-riders (be they Harley folk, ADV'ers, Sport Riders or just Riders), or even walk out with a good deal on accessories.
