Help me, /o/. You're my only hope. Anonymous 2016-12-21 01:41:23 Post No. 16351417 [Report] [View this topic]

Sup /o/. Greetings from /wg/ browser. It is I've come for your advice, expertise, and experience. I'm getting my first car. I'm a London chap moving to a smaller town for work and to get my newborn son out of the city and into a nicer part of England and need a car suitable for the job. I'm not a car enthusiast and don't pretend to be so. I'm 29, had a career driven life style, and been busy in the city where I had not needed a car, but the time had come to actually put my license to use.

I'm looking for a car that looks good, easy to maintain, and is economical-ish to run. I'm a big fan of the looks of the Honda civic, BMW 1 series, and the MG ZR (face-lift version) but know that the MG is a bad choice considering my lack of knowledge on cars.

So in your opinions, which is best for my needs? All cost roughly the same to buy, the BMW is a tad cheaper to insure for me but will I make that up with maintenance and running costs?

2008 Honda Civic 2.2i ctdi especially vs. 2008 Honda Civic 1.4i design vs. 2007 BMW 1 Series 1 1.6 116i se

Help me, /o/, you're my only hope.

No point getting a BMW if you're getting a 116i, just buy a Civic, at least a 1.6 if it's petrol.

What exactly is happening inside the engine when it's trying to turn over and you're trying to start it?

The reason I ask is because I have noticed for some reason with older cars they tend to start up instantly. My friend's Miata and 240 literally turn over instantly on the first hit no matter how cold the engine is.

Yet even brand new vehicles take a few cranks to get em going

Less drivetrain loss, which is more an advantage of a transverse engine than FWD inherently.

How does AWD works in other than 50/50 torque distro? I get how 3 differential setup works and how a superior 2 differential setup works (since it deletes the center diff and provides 50/50 or 49 rear 51 front power).

But how does the center diff actively changes the power in between the rear and front axles? hell, how can you make permanently the power distribution be anything but 50/50? Quattro system and the ATTESSA does this but i dont understand how you not only change the power delivery but also make the power delivery dynamic in real time.

Clutches and shit yo. And computers to actuate them.

Look up how Honda's SH-AWD works, but apply that longitudinally, instead of on one axle.

I can see just from reading this sentence you do not understand how either 2 or 3 differential systems work, or why a 2 diff locked centre setup is superior.
