I'm looking to get a used vehicle for these criteria:
1) Is reasonably simple to work on in my own garage
2) Has AWD or 4WD capabilities for moving through snow
AWD or 4WD are not necessary per se, but the main reason I'm looking at a new vehicle is to get me into the Sierras a few times per year
3) Parts are easy to find or cheap
4) Is reliable or at least has predictable faults that I can mitigate
I haven't really come up with a price limit, but the cheaper the better. I'm just really unfamiliar with anything but 2 wheel drive vehicles and I could use some advice.
I'm currently driving a 94 Volvo 940. I've never taken it to the snow, but I imagine that, even with chains, the RWD would be hazardous.
For those of you who drive in the snow often, is a RWD vehicle manageable, or too risky for steep mountain passes?

Subaru Legacy GT.
Turbo charged, AWD, relatively cheap, and not as molested as WRXs and shit.
On top of that, it's a cozier car and insurance is cheaper.
>source: I own one
>>
>>14772031
You can also try the mazdaspeed6, same deal as the legacy.
>>
>>14772031
Is any year good?
Turbo is nice, but I'm wondering if that might still raise my insurance a little too much.

So my mom about to buy me my first car and this one we're looking at and considering is a 98 Honda for about 2,500. It has a lot of milage but I'm not really going to be driving anywhere far commonly, what do you guys think

What is "a lot of mileage"?
>>
>>14771928

Do you have kids already? Why not buy a Civic or a Corolla? Unless you need to carry stuff, then get a S-10 or a Tacoma.
>>
>>14772001
I honestly don't know the number of milage I forgot but I know that it's pretty high
>>14772017
The price range is 3,000 tops and I'd rather have a small suv

Kept reading online about this shit but all the info either doesn't make sense to physics or are issues fixed by getting better
Lighter flywheels put less strain on the crank and therefore make it easier to get higher torque and rev higher, they also rev down faster (which i like)
The only two points ive heard that make sense against light flywheels are:
>Lighter flywheels are weaker
Which makes sense if its all a single material, but since materials keep getting lighter and lighter without changing thoughness since alloy R&D gets better that's not a permanent deal-breaker
>Fucks up harmonics and vibrations in the car
But shouldn't a good Axial rod bearing or a bigger engine deal with that crap?
All ive heard about good things of a heavier flywheel just doesn't make sense.
>since the revs stay in the same zone for longer its easier to shift without fucking the tranny
Yeah but that's why you double-clutch/press the gas slightly while depressing the clutch (at least that's what i do to avoid making the car jolt when shifting)
>Easier on the hillclimb because it holds inertia better
Yeah, this makes sense, but after you use the gas to keep the car going at X speed or faster than what speed you are going in a hillclimb, wouldn't a heavier flywheel be negative since it makes your acceleration slower?
>heavier flywheels are better for low-end torque
That doesn't make any sense, again, if you are pulling something the heavier flywheel is good until you need to feed the engine again, and after that it becomes lost torque that could go to the wheels.
Am i missing something or am i right?
And is BeamNG pulling shit out of its ass when it says that heavier flywheels transfer more torque and if youve got too much crank-torque with a light flywheel your tranny gets a small fraction of that power? And does having a very heavy flywheel makes the torque curve all crazy and randomly spiked? or is it again, just some BeamNG bullshit?

Why are you contemplating this? Are you replacing the flywheel on your car? If so, what kind of car and what is your intended purpose for that car?

I've never used one but they seem like a lot of fun to fuck around with, and for shy of $500 it seems like something I'd like to get
Any brands you recommend or I should steer clear of?

Used one at some friends house in Germany, we couldn't manage to ride it straight for more than ten seconds. Then again, none of us knew how to ride anything.
I think they are banned of any public road or space now.
That was ten years ago.

One of my buddies slapped a lawnmower engine onto one of these frames and ran a chain to the rear wheel. No gears or anything.
Was fun as shit. Beat a Harley from a dead stop until the Harley hit 3rd gear.

I hope amerifats realize what this means:
Cadillac's strategy to enter the american luxury market is not working.
Instead they will focus on making cash-cow SUVs.
American luxury will stay just as dead as it has been for decades now.

In selling my autotragic for my first manual, I made several mistakes. Passing over the Saab and RX-8 weren't examples, but the rest...
>ZX2 S/R for dirt cheap. I didn't want to have to justify downgrading to a "worse" car, even though it had everything I needed and was a lot of fun.
>350Z at a good price for the mileage, but got cucked by my mother, who had to drive me because lolnocar. She didn't want me in something unsafe and RWD in winter weather
>Sentra SE-R Spec V which I decided to avoid because it had a salvage title, though it was fixed to good-as-new and was in perfect shape. 210hp on an otherwise practical econobox commuter sounds great.
>Camaro Z28 catfish I never got to take a look at, because I couldn't convince anyone to drive me that far out of town.
I don't dislike the Lancer I ended up with, but I could be having way more fun if I went with any of the other options.

Went to look at one of these today - 2008, 90k miles, body and interior in good condition, some shaking on highway that felt like unbalanced tires but I guess could be mounts.
Anything particularly bad about these cars that I should know? Other than the fact that even with a manual it feels slower than a Civic.

Are they really? Can someone else pitch in on this?
Burning oil because of what, do piston rings take a shit? I couldn't smell any oil in bay after test drive. All the fucking fluid reservoir plastic has turned brown though, not that that's a big deal.
I wonder if I can reasonably assume vibration is shit balance.
