It doesn't matter what kind of car OPs parents bought him. He's addicted to sucking drugs out of little white paper cocks. He is an adult dependant on pacifiers. It's sad and pathetic.
And even though his car is expensive, it's really really fucking boring.
So to sum up: drug addict, pacifier dependant, boring car.
Nice work OP, try again later when you've grown up some.

How does a heater even break? Isn't it literally a tube that runs from your engine to the cabin? Even if the fan doesn't work, the heat still gets in if the vent is open

>>16896258
Heater core starts leaking, so it gets bypassed.

>>16896348
The Buick I bought was like that.

In order to replace the heater core the entire dash had to come out.

No biggy, but everyone knows plastic doesn't do well in negative temperatures.

Ended up using a big buddy heater inside the cabin to warm it up to get to the heater core. Never again.

Dash creaked and squeaked after that, despite the fact I didn't break or bend a single tab.

>>16896595
Buy replacement heater core, run hose to said heater core on the floor, zip tie computer fan to it for winter use, bypass in summer; problem solved.

And yet they still use cheap, multi-part, visible joins, cost cutting fitment and design for key components like the steering wheel.

I dunno you delusional child, because a civic isn't a status symbol maybe? Once again, for the third time now, price is not an indicator of over all quality.

Steering wheels wrapped in the anus rims of Tibetan monks are not an indicator of quality. Extinct rhino semen coated laminated shifting knobs are not an indicator of quality.
Unborn african migrant children skin seats are not an indicator of quality.

Why do most poorfags immediately default to

In addition to what >>16896348 said, it can become plugged by debris in the cooling system. Also, even if the heater core itself is fine, it can fail to provide heat if the coolant doesn't get hot enough, which can happen if the thermostat is stuck open or missing.

The transmission, from Rolls Royce, is a GM H400 or TH400. A GM trans will bolt in with no modification required. Then it's only a matter of getting the motor to fit.

What advantage would the 440 have over that?

>heat always maxed, to keep from overheating in traffic
>that spot around 2600 rpm where your exaust vibrates violently
>the poorly wired engine fan on/off switch ziptied beside the hood latch
>the exaust leak that was so bad windows always had to be down

At a certain point it isn't worth putting a dime into the car. Unfortunately, at that point critical necessities fail and you're forced into being nickeled and dimed to death.

I've had serious frame rot stop me from buying reverse bulbs and low beam bulbs as those couple extra dollars went into savings towards a new $500 shitbox.

And then you have the problem of being unable to afford any downtime.

Being poor sucks senpai.

I prefer iPhones because they are low maintenance. Fancy features don't turn my head. I just want something that doesn't fuck around.
