the volvo is $650 more than the acura we were looking at and is so much nicer
dense shard
Okay.
So get the Volvo?
I still think that has a very strong potential to bite you in the ass.
And buying any crossover with intentions of using the 3rd row seats for roadtrips is... meh.
manic isle
its only getting used 2-4 times a year for road trips
and my parents will never buy another minivan and we dont want a massive chevy tahoe or anything
stoic ledge
This is fine
dense shard
It's gonna age well.
manic isle
thats what were probably doing but my dad is leaming toward the damn explorer
dense shard
You have plenty of physical controls, it's all logical, and easy.
Because the Explorer is probably cheaper.
And once again the perception remains that Volvo is going to cost you extra to keep on the road.
manic isle
thing is for me is i have never heard good things about ford reliability
dense shard
Ignoring a few exceptions, they're cheap, but fairly durable.
manic isle
i've talked to friends with volvos and no one has said anything negative
dense shard
And for what it's worth. The previous generations of Volvos were basically reengineered Ford products.
Now that Volvo is Chinese... well make what you will of that.
manic isle
it is? window sticker that i saw says its parts are made in sweden and japan
dense shard
The company is owned by the Chinese is my point.
As for the ford products bit... Ford oversaw Volvo.
And don't forget the S80.
dense shard
perhaps
stoic ledge
Ah 2nd gen not apparently
dense shard
I remain skeptical of Volvo. Nice looking cars, but meh.

Problem with those is your fuel economy gets A LOT worse @dense shard
From what I've read, even just having roof racks on (like on my car) can cause up to a 7mpg hit

In terms of actual wheelbase it's not that big but its still got sizeable mass so
Even by european standards the wheelbase isn't that big
its not even 5m long
but it can be up to 2.6 tons
wild tiger
the new discovery is smaller than a g4 explorer
unborn cedar
Its not much larger than my GTO in terms of length / width but its visually much larger if you know what I mean
Yeah
It's lighter too

4.956 mm is quite a big car for European standards

just changed the body

took a explorer body

Fomco and rangerover as basically the same

the gen 2 looked the biggest even though they're not
it's probably just the shape
It is the tallest
Pretty infamous generation

The new discovery shares motors with the explorer g5 and 6

Not anymore from what I've heard

The most recent Discovery is post Ford... Yet looks more Ford than ever before
Current gen is all JLR

its fookin big
it just looks like someone took a normal, if a bit boxy, car and englarged it by 60%

To be fair, Uaz hasnt really changed much in the 469 over the last 25 years

I also never see anyone at my age driving a ford focus
it's always families or companies
fathom socket
i think this current series and the last seem to have gotten alot closer to the good ol top gear we know so i wouldnt give CH any crap
dense shard
I won't get on their case too much since the Grand Tour is also a bit removed from what TG used to be.

The top gear as people remember is gone but that's OK because not exactly a lack of high quality car channels

Did you know, if you press gas and brake pedals at the same time ur car will take a screenshot?

Is this a joke that I'm too manual to understand?

Did you know that if yuou engage reverse at 120mph your car will do a 360 ?

The Lexus LFA with the Nurburgring edition has the right amount of wing.

@flint sable is that ur car?
paper kernel

Wait is that a removable roof?
flint sable
No itβs just a sunroof and the black bits are wearing off to show chrome
paper kernel
Is it a hard top convertible?
civic spoke
I'm proud of my E46. Even though it needs some new stuff.
civic spoke
Wheel speed sensor is going bad. And it needs some new bushings.

I eventually wanna put an M3 front end on the 325xi and make it an M3 touring

the first thing I'm going to do with my car is new exhaust system and better air intakes
flint sable
Good idea
paper kernel
aswell as a good standalone ECU for future upgrades
civic spoke
Since it's an E46 (I think it was). Check on the lower control arm bushings.
Thoe like to go bad.
paper kernel
how
civic spoke
The rubber just crack and go bad on the E46.
civic spoke
... That's not how you do certain repairs.
paper kernel
U just fill them and do a re-paint job
just like how Zach jobe did in donut media

Come back in a year and let me know what you think.
Don't really like the new 4 series as a whole.

buying honda civics is not worth it
at least the older ones
It just seems that noone takes care about them and they just rust away
like I know that honda civic is a good car
but it's just ruined by thier owners
dense shard
It's an economy car. Most cars aren't really cared for.
civic spoke
No one takes care of ecoboxes.
dense shard
That's how it is in the world.
civic spoke
First owner usually does take care of it.
Others do not.
But it's like that with most cars.
charred depot
@drowsy kernel old cars arent very common here, i dont have a trailer so my options are limited
MOT fail from rust sends them to car hell.
dense shard
I'm just gonna wash my car often.
dense shard
Makes sense. Rust is an astounding amount of work to fix
charred depot
id like to try welding sheet metal on cars but im not sure id sit on a seat attached to a floor pan i welded in heh
fathom socket
well
someone took care of my ford focus
I know the caravan rules for welding it's basically just gotta be a constant weld not just a couple spots
the chassy is pretty much rust free
can't say anything for the body panels
civic spoke
I want bi-xenons.
flint sable
Still canβt believe I got it for 200$
civic spoke
Someone just wanted to get rid of it.
How is she doing mechanically and structurally?

Also - Why are you getting ads in your navigation app?
Because they are trying to sell thier own products

what wrong with googl maps
fathom socket
This app has speed limits and it warns about speed traps and dangers
And also I get cheaper insurance
And also in my city Google has missing streets compared to open streets map
fathom socket
I mean... Google maps also recognizes your speed and the allowed speed. And if a road is missing, you can just let them add them via the maps Page on Browser.
For speed traps.. There are other Apps u just could let run in the background which could Alarm u

Is it posibble that my engine could misfire when cold?

A dodge stealth lol
civic girder
If coolant was frozen that wouldn't cause a misfire
It would crack the engine block
Though I guess that would cause misfires
fathom socket
I might need new injectors or/and fuel filter
Or I'll just keep driving it till next year and just change everything that wears down.
civic girder
Is it diesel?
Normally my first suspect is spark plugs and ignition coils. But if it's diesel then obv those don't exist
