Hey guys I have an 03 Focus wirh the 2.3 Duratec and A/T. Electricals have been kinda screwy. Hesitates to cold start, some shit is just fried, occasionally warning lights flicker and then disappear.
So today I was reversing out of a parking spot where it sat for ~6-7 hours. It started fine but stalled out during reverse. Then it didn't want to start at all. Dash lights were visible so it had a little power, but not enough to crank. Only other thing is that it was really low on gas.
Anyway a good Samaritan gave me a jump. Ran fine after that. Drove to a Meineke where they did a battery, alternator and starter motor test. It passed all perfectly and there were no visible problems other than idiot light for low gasoline.
What's going on? I'm thinking either a shirt somewhere, maybe the battery is fucked even if it passed the test on the scanner. A/T? ECM fried? Is this a common problem with Fords from early 2000s?

Well it's old. What do you expect?
Try replacing the battery because that's at least cheap.

>>17488949
If youre cars low on gas its going to struggle to start also
Could also be your fuel pump

A buddy and I were thinking about this and we realized that Subaru's sales success are based purely on marketing and not true engineering or packaging merit. I live in Vermont and you cannot look at a parking lot without seeing one Subaru. Vermonters are drawn to the green car/hippy image Subaru puts out but the cars aren't really that green. The following are my thoughts.
1) Their hybrids are terrible and they have no electric vehicles to maintain this green image.
2) It's rare to hear of a subaru rumbling well past 100k miles without much trouble so by dumping the vehicle sooner, the green image goes out the window.
3) Subaru doesn't come anywhere near the top in NVH reduction or interior quality in its price category. For too long it's been Fisher Price quality.
4) Most of its vehicles aren't joys to drive so people aren't buying based on driving enjoyment and willing to sacrifice other departments.
5) Subaru found the niche of middle to upper middle class white people with college degrees that lean left, listen to NPR, and have pets. These buyers may be outdoorsy or outdoorsy adjacent. They may be lesbian. They may be into cycling, birding, camping, canoing, etc.
What does Subaru have going for it?
1) Standard AWD.
2) Good simple marketing that has attracted a growing niche consumer base.
3) WRX and 86 twins have been great values for a long time.
For non enthusiasts (most of the market), you can find a better car for the money 7/7 days of the week.

How hard is it to learn manual?
I've been cruising Craigslist and all the dope cars I want are all in manual. I had a motorcycle for a short time, so I know the general gist of shifting and all that. How difficult would it be to learn in a car?
Also, this car would be a daily commuter, so I'd have some light traffic on the way back home, so is a manual even doable or would I just be frustrated every day?

It's really not that hard. You'll learn in a day if you devote a few hours to it, and you'll get good after a few weeks of driving a standard regularly.
>Learned how in about 30 minutes on my friend's shitbox
>>
>>17487953
Don't do manual on your daily.
Do manual in your weekend/fun car.
>>
>>17487953
get the car on a day where you'll have the next day off of work
spend the day practicing around local residential streets and parking lots, slowly going to busier and busier roads
main thing to think about is just slowly and smoothly releasing clutch.
if you're not brain dead you'll be able to drive to work competently by the next day, but just make sure to focus on driving.
You WILL stall the car in as soon as you start driving close to other cars and feel nervous, just remain calm and try again, it's not a big deal.
getting comfortable too soon will also most likely lead to stalling, but that's just part of the learning process.
>>17488130
Don't fall for this meme, after a week you (probably) wont be stalling at all anymore, and driving standard as a daily really isnt bad at all, and can make that daily driving more interesting. You don't have to go out on a weekend drive to have fun in a standard.

Which of the <40 000$ EVs gets you the most bang for your buck?
I am helping my mom buy a new car, and I am coming to you guys for input. Due to retarded norwegian carbon-taxes on ICE-cars, as well as no sales tax on EVs an electric car is the best option.
What are the pros and cons for either a Opel E-Ampera or a Tesla Model 3, especially concerning range, interior space, reliability and delivery time?

A bus ticket, faggot.

You wont be able to get a tesla for a few years unless you buy a reservation. Other than that they are essentially the same.
Tesla is all modern minimalism, so while it looks alright on the outside the interior looks like a doctors office.

Should I trade in my s2000 for a focus rs?
The s2000 is more fun to drive.... Though, the rs is more practical and safer and insurance is actually cheaper.
I just have a girlfriend, but I have no way to transport anything. I could also get a beater and keep my s2000, but the beater would be less safe and boring to drive all winter.

Then get a cheapper slightly used hothatch then.
For example a FiST or FoST if you need more space

>>17487844
No, keep the S2000. You'll regret selling it if you do
>>
>>17487862
Forgot to say: Dont sell the s2k, you'll regret it. Shits appreciating to stupid prices and so many get abused by boy racers. If you sell it there's practically a nonexistent chance of going back in the future.

Why the fuck are Mustang fastbacks so ridiculously overpriced? Is it just here in California or is it just as bad in other states? I'm willing to drive elsewhere to find one that isn't ridiculous like this, please help me find one /o/!

Buying a Golf GTI, got a deal on one with the sport package (limited slip, big brakes) for $23,999
Do you think the 2.0t in that car can handle putting out this much horsepower and live for a long time?
this makes it a 12second quarter mile car
