Troubled Japanese automaker Nissan says it is selling its headquarters building in Yokohama, southwest of Tokyo, for $630 million as part of its revival efforts.
I’ll be honest, it’s tempting. And I don’t even like small hatchbacks.
The three pedals, the power rating that’s not massive, but quite a bit of punch for such a small car…
But then I remember that my back hurts and I can get a super comfy cruiser from Germany that has a lot more luggage space and is significantly more comfortable, though way less fun to drive… For half the price of the Type R, if I go used. I could also get the Type R for half off, but I have to go older for that, and then we’re talking about a bunch of kilometers on a high-strung 2.0 four pot, versus a similar power rating and kilometers on a 3 liter diesel, which to me sounds like the engine is a lot less stressed.
It’s funny, the Type R isn’t great value for me because it doesn’t depreciate enough. For the people who buy them new, this is the opposite of course - it’s great value because it doesn’t depreciate too much.
To be fair, Honda isn’t exactly a great company today either, it’s been a good 20 years since they made a decent car.
Honda E is the closet thing they’ve got to something decent, but overbuilt to the max and therefore 3x more expensive than it should be.
The civic type R is widely regarded as one of the best cars you can get today.
