I want to get into Subaru's but I'm scared of the Boxer engine. I've heard these are specialty engines right up there with rotaries. Are these cars/engines particularly hard to work on?

Boxers aren´t that different from V engines.
They just have a 180° bank angle and a slightly different crankshaft.

Get some swivel ratchet attachments for changing spark plugs and an oil filter socket. Other than that maintanence shouldn't be too difficult.

Nah it's all been fairly simple on mine. Just the same as any other engine for the most part.

I'm between a Toyobaru BR86 and a new manual Civic hatch. I don't have to decide soon or anything, but I wanted to start getting an idea in my mind. I really like the styling / idea of fun handling (I used to own an NA Miata.) I also like the styling and practicality of the new Civic hatch.
Is it worth throwing away practicality for fun handling / great styling?s
As a side note, I live in Seattle and the traffic seems like huge pain with a manual, but I commute before 5am so I don't think it would be too bad.
Opinions?

Both are terrible choices. Get a Mustang GT or Challenger R/T. Then you don't have to sacrifice practicality for performance like Jap cars.

Sup /o/. Time for a shitpost.
Going to get my first car soon, was looking at a 2012 Jetta 2.5L I-5 Cylinder.
It's got 58,000 miles and it's going for $9,630.
I want this car to last me a good while and I know that's going to require work and maintenance, but will Jettas require more work and maintenance or anything like that?
If not the Jetta, what cars would you guys recommend as a good first for under $10,000?
Sorry I'm not that much of an expert on cars, and I know this board's probably already flooded with posts like these.
pic related it's the car.

This car will not last you a long time. Consider buying Japanese.

Fuck off fur fag.
But youre right

Not a fucking Volkswagen, for starters. Buying a VW outside of warranty is asking for trouble, especially if you're new to cars and can't do any wrenching yourself.
If you don't know anything about cars, do yourself a favor and go buy yourself the best Toyota/Lexus you can afford.
In fact, if you want a nice car go get yourself a Lexus GS350 in good condition.

Wow, racist and sexist much?
Be honest with me: what chance does the new Supra have of being affordable (<60k USD), non-hybrid, and with a manual transmission?
I need a plan B in case the RX-9 turns out to be shit.

What the fuck is going on?
>2009 Honda with 85k miles
>has never had a problem
>replaced the brake pads a while back but they're still fairly new
>had the rotors turned when I noticed the car vibrating when braking
>vibration is back despite the rotors being turned less than 3k ago
>I don't live in an area with hills or mountains
It's not like a left-to-right vibration but more of a back-to-front. My steering wheel does NOT vibrate and it causes no problems in me going high speeds or staying in a straight line. The vibration only occurs when applying the brakes.
What the fuck is going on? If this actually is my rotors, what would cause this washboard like vibration so soon after being turned?

from my limited knowledge, perhaps the rotors were torqued unevenly meaning they're not on 100% flush with the hub? other than that no idea,

did you grease your caliper guide pins?
>>
forget to balance the rotors?

Replace shitty boxer with an i4, that'll give it room for turbos as an option and double wishbone suspension. That's all it needs.

Yes, but get the 2016 model since it is all new and fixed many of the previous generation's shortcomings like handling and steering feel.

mate, im talking about soap
>>
>>16135423
Using men's shave gel instead of soap is actually a great trick, basically apply the shave gel directly to the car, spread it evenly with your hand, give it a few minutes then rinse. Usually if you focus on applying to one panel at a time by the time you get back around to the first it's ready to rinse. I find it a lot easier than scrubbing and you don't presoak like you would with soap.
