>having to borrow vehicles from someone else

git gud, faggit

I feel you, anon. What annoys me the most is that most hornfuckers are slow-ass drivers. They bitch and shout and and highbeam honk and, when they have a clear road ahead, they drive like faggots.

Sometimes they annoy me so much that I purposely turn on parking lights and stop in front of them. When I know they're butthurt I launch slowly and then leave them in a cloud of BRAAAAPAPASTUTUTUTUBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAP.

That's actually not a bad habit to make sure you're in neutral (but I think you mean wiggle shifter side to side). When I was still learning how to drive I almost killed a friend b/c I turned the ignition on his Land Rover Santana while he was in front of the car and sandwiched him between the Santana's unobtanium bumper and his mum's Mazda 3. Not fun.

i'll shift your wiggler

>buying a luxury car for handling
I hate this meme

>>16186246
This guy has a point, but handling is still a valid point of comparison for any vehicle on the road.

OP I can't validate or deny that claim, but I can tell you that the 5 series certainly has a higher ceiling in the handling department.

>but /o/ doesn't talk about it
It's a boring mid-size sedan.
What do you expect?

>>16213984

They're all shit.

>>16213992
yeah, but the best of the shit ones? I think an auction would be the cheapest way to get a car. Maybe not in a long run, but I willing to risk it

>>16213984
C4 should be pretty bulletproof. Some HDis hadproblems regarding flywheels mostly but not the recent 1.6.

I would go for the comfiness (and probably cheapness depending where you're from, UK I guess), but 2001 was first year of production and the first models had some issues. Plus I didn't even know they came with the 2.2 as soon as 2001. Petrols are a way safer choice.

2004 Mondeo petrol should be pretty solid too, TDCi had some issues (flywheel, injectors, DPF iirc)

Avoid 307s like the plage, I know many horror stories about them. Electricals mostly.

206 and Focus 1.4L will be underpowered.

Also wtf is the Crossfire doing in this list of sensible shitboxes kek

cell phone and aaa. you won't need anything else

>>16213859
Doesn't really suffice when you live in the mountains and the nearest city is 3 hours away. Thanks for the advice, though.

Mr. Regular?

>>16213827
Anon, you did it and didn't hurt anyone or your car. Be glad that you did well and don't doubt your skills. Sometimes shitty situations arise all you can do is trust yourself

How about you stay in a driving lane instead of pulling illegal passes on the right.

>>16213827
self-inflicted close calls are a result of careless driving, remember to pay attention on the road all the time

Anything is better than a veloster I guess.

>>16213650
yes its a VAG product
>>16213655

>>16213650
Absolutely nothing. I'm with you on the looks and they are a surprisingly good drive.

>Is it such a big deal if I do an oil change now?
Not really. "Break-In" oil is not your spec oil, it has additives to wear the engine in. Also 1k km isn't shit, be patient.

And always change your filter for an oil change.

I would normally wait for the recommended run-in time, but I have a buyer lined up and he wants me to do an oil change before he picks it up.

I've had other people say that "run-in" oil is a relatively pointless, so I didn't know how important it was when you're just replacing bearings.

...and i'd never do an oil change without changing the filter, but i've never been in this situation before (run-in oil, replacing filter after ~300Km of use etc).

Thanks for the input.

Break in oil and stuff like that matters more when you put new rings in. Generally speaking you need to run Dino oil when seating new rings.

The increased carbon deposits it creates helps make the compression rings seat faster before the bores glaze over.
