TPMS is required, I forget when it started. Likewise traction/stability control,
I think.
All the Japanese cars seem to have rear view camera since '15 or so.
Spark EV, last made 2 months ago, never had it, wasn't ever available.
Do the Spark gassers have it standard for 2016/2017?

It is reputed to be the best value in terms of initial cost and cost of
maintenance/repairs. It also rates highly in reliability and resale value.

They may be but they are required to have them. Even a $14k Spark or what not
has them now.

maintenance/repairs. It also rates highly in reliability and resale value.
If I have to drive a vergasser, it helps that it has all wheel drive and
all the cool (?) new safety features (pioneered by MB) at a reasonable
price.
Why a Subaru? I've thought about them since they build some of the few that can
be towed 4 wheels on the ground. IMO it's the best kind to have when towing
behind a motorhome since you don't need a dolly.

Yes, it is a good price, and no, I don't have to sell it. I could keep it
and $6700+ and get it "fixed" when they get around to it.
We looked at the E250Ds, but they still want too much money for them and
the Stealer here is really one of the best at emptying your pockets for
maintenance and
What if you don't want to sell it?
Is the price really favorable to you?

Why the Class Diesel won't come to the US:
"Last year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) instituted an array

since, but Mercedes hinted it changed
