my girlfriend drives a 2002 Ford Laser SR that's her first car, and it' been having issues that are completely taking her driving confidence away

basically she's been having power related issues, which have been intermittent and unfortunately only when she's driving

the car seems to get stuck after lowering it's speed and not wanting to get back up to speed (EG through roadworks) sometimes shaking

today she was taking off from a stop sign and the car struggled to move from her words taking 30 seconds or so just to get her to a speed where she could get to the side of the road

the car has already been through a mechanic and he changed out all the leads, sparkplugs and checked over the car without finding anything wrong with it, he took it for a drive, and obviously nothing went wrong when he drove it

my only ideas would be the coil packs or a friend had a stalling issue with the same engine to do with the belt tensioner

any ideas /o/ my missus could really use your help

Doesn't turn on. Gears are rusty as shit. As someone who does a decent (500km per year) amount of length offroading, a CJ5-7 would be amazing and there is one just sitting in my buddy's garage rusting away for the past 15 years.
It doesn't turn on and has a decent amount of "garage" rust from the humid summers and cold winters. What's the first thing to start doing to this walking thermite mixture to even get it started?

I have a budget of about 10k and know next to nothing about cars.

Have been looking around and i kinda like the feel of the Kia Soul 2012.

Is there anything terrible about vehicle or frequent problems worth mentioning?

Kijiji shows a few in my area at roughly 150 000 k/m

Am in canada.

Any advice would be greately appreciated

Hey /o/ my brother is getting close to buying a 1998 e36 m3, and I wanted to get your opinion on the car. What it's worth or if it's prone to problems or stuff like that.

Any comments or help is appreciated.

Sup /o/, Britfag here.

I have a budget of between £15-20k. Should I buy an E46 M3, or an E92 335i? Both would be manual, no SMG/DCT faggotry, and also I'm leaning to the 335i because the repair costs would be a little lower because no M tax.

Advice? I was tempted to stretch to £25-30k and get an E92 M3 but the repair costs would probably kill me eventually so that's very unlikely.

Advice? Opinions? Shitposts?

/o/ I need help finding a car. I've owned a few different cars and right now im driving a beater '97 EL autotragic I picked up for $600 for commuting 4 hours a day. Getting a new job that'll be paying 50k a year in 9 months. I owned a 04' WRX before this but the gas was way too much for commuting so I sold her. New job wont require any kind of commuting, if anything maybe 15 minutes to get there. I've always wanted a muscle car but living in Canada, RWD isn't the greatest idea but is doable. I've driven a 89' Camaro (No balls) and recently a 12' chrysler 300C with the 5.7 which im really digging but it only comes in auto. I've looked at a couple 4 and 6 cylinders but nothing has stuck out too much to me. I loved my WRX but I don't really want another subaru. So in short what's a relatively reliable, fun, quick 8 cylinder or sporty 4 banger that's been released in the last 5 years? Would prefer sedan or hatch but not opposed to a coupe.
I've driven the GTI, and the Golf R and RS are out of my price range. Have no desire to own another hunk of shit Mazda either.

Hey im new to /o/ so forgive my ignorance in the way things are done here.
I come to you with a question, you all seem to know your shit, or at least more than me.
So I drive a 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco (bought it from stepdad last year at a ridiculous low price of 4 grand and it was running perfect only 60k miles). I've taken good care of the car, high grade synthetic oil, regular check ups, good gas and everything. Generally its actually a really great car, I get awesome mileage, very comfortable cabin with pretty neat features, car responds well and can actually pick up and go pretty fast pretty quickly if you need it (Despite CVT).
However at 65k I started hearing a weird clicking/tapping noise when accelerating. It got worse and the engine light came on so I took it into the dealer and the had to replace the cam shaft. Now the car is at 75k and its beginning to make that fucking noise again, I am positive it is the exact same noise as last time so I assume a cam lobe is getting worn again. My question is why the fuck is this happening? Like the shit just got replaced. Am I retarded or something? Sometimes I accelerate fast (drive on i45 a lot) and with that shit CVT it'll run at high rpms (like seriously 6000-7500) for a good 3-4 seconds. Could that be the problem?

You get to have one fictional car.
What car do you choose?

I'd claim the Interceptor with doggo included of course.
