The Saturn L-series is a good car, so long as it's the 4 cylinder. Avoid the V6.
Subaru Legacy and Legacy Outback are great wagons, just beware rear wheel well rust, head gasket issues, and make sure the timing belt was changed on time.
Other good wagons includes the 3 B-body bastards (1991-1996), the Chevrolet Caprice, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, and Buick Roadmaster. RWD and with a detuned LT1 Corvette 5.7L V8.

Guys is anyone afraid of driving here or had any problems in the past learning how to do it?
I got a car more than a month ago but I can't bring myself to get in and learn because I can't afford any mistakes and roads are very narrow here. So how can I get over it?

Start in a normal car.
Have someone drive you out to a parking lot where you can practice. You want a wide open space where you can practice making turns and smooth starts and stops.
The biggest part of learning to drive is all muscle memory, learning how hard your right foot needs to press on the gas/brake so you accelerate and deccelarate smoothly. It can be scary at first but you'll get the hang of it, like anything else. If Suzy soccermom can handle driving so can you, and you can do it a lot better. It just takes practice and confidence.

By normal car I mean an old corrolla or something with measly power, a slushbox, and most importantly, not some cool sports car you would feel awful about scratching.

Lads, I dunno much about cars, but I went for a bit of a hoon and near the end, when I went to accelerate my car would just rev and barely accelerate at all
Also, if I in the lower end of a gear's general range (i.e. 60kmh in 4th) and I went to accelerate, the car would rumble
Is my clutch fucked?

Your clutch is fucked and so are your engine mounts.
Besides, 60kmh in 4th isn't lower end, 40kmh would be. And the engine still shouldn't rumble there.
>>
>>13960559
Your engine lacks torque because the rpm is so low in a high gear at a low speed. Instead of doing 40 in fourth, do it in third or second.

Wew lads, I'm not a regular poster on this board but I've got a bit of an emergency on my car and I can't find the exact problem I'm having on google so a little help would be appreciated.
I drove to campus this morning before my physics exam and I was sitting in the car listening to the radio and warming up for a bit before I headed inside. I had the key to the ON I position so the running lights, radio, and heater was on but nothing else.
All of a sudden everything just shut off. I tried turning the car on and it will not start. It won't even try to roll over. All I get is this rapid clicking like a machine gun.
At first I thought it might be the stupid ass Immobilizer System (my car is a 2011 Honda Accord) because I saw the little green icon of a key on the dashboard but it didn't stay on after trying so I don't think that was it. In case it was the Immobilizer System just not recognizing my key I tried using my spare key and it didn't work either.
So guys, any ideas? I don't have any tools in my car, they're all back home (about a 30 min drive). The only advice I got from Google was that it may be that my battery is old, in which case I need to get a jump and then drive to the store and buy a new one. Another said that my alternator or starter solenoid may be shot.
I'm open to any and all suggestions and I will try them after my physics exam. Thanks lads

Its your battery, you drained it.
Get it jumped and stop draining it.
It was prob the DRLs that did it, i can leave my trucks heater/radio on for ages and its fine.

Rapid clicking is what I'd suspect to be the starter solenoid/motor having sung its final verse, or that its not activating because of lacking charge
If the starter is fine it be that your battery is dead/deadish, alternator not charging properly or both

>Lamborghini money for a Corvette with a Mustang body
When someone wants a classic Mustang, they can buy one for cheaper. When someone wants a Corvette, they can buy one for cheaper. When someone wants to spend Lamborghini or Ferrari money, they probably won't buy a Corvette that looks like a Mustang. The Equus Bass is the single most redundant car in the world.

Maybe in a few years they'll have a new, less costly model.

The devil knocks on your door. He's made some good investments on the stock market last year, and he wants to start his own grassroots racing series (basically Lemons on steroids) using the profits. He's going to give you 10K, and if you manage to modify a street car to meet the challenges set below using that money, he'll let you keep the car afterwards. The catch? There is none. Turns out he quit drinking a few centuries ago, and he's a nice, honest guy now.
The basic challenges:
>10 second quarter mile (10.999 qualifies)
>310 kph top speed
>8:10 Nurburgring lap time
>10 km/l combined fuel consumption (23.5 MPG)
You meet these, you get the car.

Hardmode:
>no engine swap
>no V8
>no forced induction
You meet all of these, and you’ll you get both the car and a free crate motor (whichever motor you want).
GODMODE:
>8 second quarter mile
>410kph top speed
>7:10 Nurburgring lap time
>20km/l combined fuel consumption (47 MPG)
>5K budget
>FWD
You meet the basic challenges plus only one (1) of these, you get the car, and he puts you in charge of his new racing series. He'll even make you a speed-demon if you want to.
Fine print:
>budget does not include safety equipment, fluids, brake pads, tires and fuel
>fuel has to be available at a ''regular'' gas station. No 110 octane race fuel, but E85 and such is allowed.
>water/methanol injection allowed at all events.
>nitrous injection only allowed for 1/4 mile and top speed events.
>no locosts, tube chassis cars, Lotus Seven replica's and motorcycles.
>you get 10K USD, 10K EUR, 7K GBP, 14K AUD or 130K yen depending on where you live.
In most cases this is slightly more than 10K USD, because the US car market is a bit cheaper compared to other markets, especially as far as modifying is concerned.

All gas stations I've seen have had diesel as well as gasoline/petrol.
>>
>>13959862
Lived in the U.S. my whole life and I've never seen a gas station that doesn't sell diesel. Tons of guys at work drive diesel trucks and a few have diesel vw cars, all seem to like them. I know more people would drive diesels if the vehicles they like had a diesel engine option.

In Phoenix not all gas stations have diesel. (Quicktrips) but its easy enough to go to shell

I don't know what the fuck to do desu whether to get the engine replaced or get it fixed. I tried looking answers online but everyone says once an engine has no compression it can longer be fixed because it's blown. I'm really trying to get it fixed within the next couple of weeks.

I keep seeing a lot of references to the speed at which a car goes from 0 to 60. While I understand the need to accelerate upon entering the highway, most on-ramps will provide for more than 10 seconds of road.
So if getting up to highway speed isn't the main concern, why is 0 to 60 speed so important?
FYI. I'm a right lane driver and I try to stay within 5 miles over the posted speed limit.
