To add on to this, I don't think I've ever driven a car more connected to the driver. You feel everything in a good way. The steering inspires so much confidence. The brake pedals tells you everything. Throttle is attached with a cable so super responsive.

Then my trip is lying. It's highway cruising, but I just went 120 miles on 3.5 gallons. I don't know what to tell you man. It's a low mileage motor that's set up right, maybe the wind was at my back? It's kicking ass in the MPG department.

>>16920772
My brother has a 91 turbo diesel and it's hilariously beat to shit. 700,000 km and he hasn't changed the oil in 50,000, the shift linkage feels like stirring a bowl of oatmeal, everything keeps falling apart that isn't the engine, and Christ they are ugly as sin. However, as long as you let it warm up 5-10 minutes before driving it, they will go forever without a rebuild. Just don't warp the block.

>>16923660
There's a huge chance that you measured it wrong. Plus, you can't measure MPGs on just highway cruising alone. Even then, I would estimate it at 28 highway in ideal conditions, and they suck more around town

Minden NV to Sacramento.
119 miles
I topped the car off in minden. (till the pump shut off automatically)

I drove home. Went a mile or two down the road to the grocery, stopped at the pump and topped off again. Charge was $7.34. Diesel, right now, is $2.77 at that pump.

$7.34 / $2.77/gal = 2.65gal
120mi / 2.65gal = 45.28 mpg, actually. That's going up a mountain pass on NV207, and then hauling across US50. So I mean, I'll keep keeping an eye on it, but I got one that is running on hopes and dreams. That's bank statement, google maps, and gas buddy numbers.

Ye, you can get a faster civic. They go up to 160HP with different models, and that thing would be pretty quick.

Rip that tranny. So you're looking for 06 civic body? That was a sweet body, it's aged pretty well

>>16923801
You don't, yours is a classic bosch pump system. Like my old mk3. Thats virtually bulletproof, as long as you take care of it.
Got 496k km on the mk3, 270k on the mk4. Loving both of em.
The hatchback mk4 looks good in dark blue, the Variant version is dark green or bust.

>>16924086
i have 165k miles (265 k km) on mine atm, bought it a few months ago with about 163k miles, recently got the right and left ball joints and axles replaced and did a full synthetic oil change, slowly repairing things on it. i recently heard about dpfs, never heard of them but thats my new main worry, as i have been told that very low distance driving (which i do) is bad if you have them.

>>16924039

>>16924082
yeah the 05 is great but the 06-08 civic rears are the absolute best. every other rear and body save a few are really ugly in my opinion, but ive heard nothing but good things about honda really, i guess i just had bad luck with my purchase even if it really cost me. its a shame because it was a really nice car despite a few problems. lately ive wanted somehing japanese, like a toyota, honda or especially a subaru. they seem to be the most reliable

Engine wise, of course, just be on schedule with oil changes, and use good oil. Same with belts and pulleys. The regular stuff.
Dont baby it either, diesels like a trip to the rev heaven every so often. Since i drive country roads and regularly do overtakes topping out in third and fourth gear this is not a problem for me.

Just a note on the oil, with my mk3 we first tried Shell oil which it was consuming a lot of, tnen switched to Valvoline, which was about the same.
Started using Mobil 1 and its a world of difference, uses virtually no oil now.
I got Mobil 1 for the mk4 now too, and it seems to like it.

Also avoid shitty fuel. I have a few trusted pumps, which i regularly use. My mk3 helps with noticing which fuel is worse, because its rougher, so a change in its sound and vibration is very easy to notice.

>>16924318
I just did a full synthetic oil change using quaker state. however fuel wise, i just move around between whats cheapest in the area. its generally BP, Sunoco, or WaWa here. I havent noticed a difference in fuels yet, I just assumed all the rattles are normal from a diesel.

+ V8 rumbles,screams, growls, roars all day
+ Sterling gray metallic color probably the best color for hiding dirt/grime. Looks completely spotless from a distance, despite a nice coating of dust and general rain grime
+ Leather, power-adjustable seats
+ Electronics package with a nice albeit outdated "Ford MyTouch" display, which includes bluetooth
+ 0 to 60 in 4.3s in ideal conditions
+ Last generation of Mustang that actually looks like a Mustang and not something Euro
+ Breaks necks
+ 5.0L coyote engine is an amazing base for a build that can produce 700+ hp with a supercharger and a few necessary frame mods (I'll never do this though).
+ 430hp/400tq. at the crank with a CAI (no tune yet, because warranty), about as much power as imports that are twice the cost
+ I get giddy thinking about driving it when I haven't driven in more than a few hours
+ 17mpg in NYC (~24-25 highway), for a 5.0L naturally aspirated eight cylinder powerplant. Can't complain

- Bought it used with a ton of problems (tranny fluid leak, brake fluid leak, bald tires, rear stabilizer bar that needed replacement, tire pressure sensor that needed replacement) -- all within the first 1.5 months
- The load growl from the Roush exhausts get shitboxes riled up thinking I'm revving up on them. Meanwhile I'm just tapping the gas to 1500-2000 rpm.
- Wayyy too easy to get in trouble in it. Got my first speeding ticket (78 in a 50) while driving it. You have to live in buttfuck Utah to really enjoy this car to its full potential,
- Live rear axle breaks traction when going through a curve and hitting a bump.

Most issues I had were directly related to shoddy engineering and cheap parts. But when it worked, it was great. Like you said, plenty of pep, okay off-road, hauls plenty in the back and hey

I've got it close to paid off and I'm at a crossroads about putting a little money into it for some very light performance boosts or just running it into the ground before buying something else.

And I hear you about quality control and cheap parts. If I go the fixer route I have a ton of cheap, stock plastic to replace under the hood even.

Not mine, but very similar

Pros:
>remarkably good handling for a wagon
>amazing visibility, it's an absolute fishbowl
>all the cargo space in the world

>(bonus) square cup holder perfect for ice coffee

How many miles on it? Mine was just about paid for with 198k on it, and I started getting metal flakes in the oil. Sad things about those Liberty's are the engines. They just weren't made to last past the warranty period, and new or even running used motors are usually more expensive to obtain than the Jeep is worth when the motor fails.

But I'd have done a lift on mine if I wasn't certain the engine was gonna puke right away. Additionally, it needed a bunch of other fixes that all happened right away. I just wound up getting a new car after everything was said and done.

If I could just get my hands on the Diesel variant, I'd have never gotten rid of it, though.

>>16929014
She just hit 140k; got her 4 years ago on 105k. Only problem I had with it is a cracked radiator, and even then it wasn't a critical failure sort of thing, I just noticed a swollen hose when changing the spark plugs.

Only got 1750 ish to pay back and a new raise to come. I may pay it off, save some cash and get a daily driver truck, and then try to frankenstein the Liberty into a goofball muddin' platform.

I know Chrysler-Daimler engines aren't built to last, but whoever had it before me put nothing but highway miles on it and I don't see anything dubious for wear and tear.

They were ran down to the pad's backing for one, but they also don't fit with the wheels. They can't clear the calipers when installed properly, so the PO put them on the opposite sides (Driver's side caliper on passenger's) and then welded the pads to the caliper for currently unknown reasons. It did make them clear the wheel due to being pressed down and welded. Pic attached.

Hmmm... really gets your noggin joggin doesn't it you dumb nigger? Maybe don't put a stupid fart can on your car and cops won't follow and profile you're stupid ass.

That ridiculous front splitter and wing probably don't do you any favors either and they look stupid so maybe chuck em?

blatant lies, I'm 6'3 and the person sitting behind me would have their knees in their face, I like how the seats can make almost a 180 degree angle though, pretty much turning them into a bed

If you take out the backseat buckets, they will indeed go completely flat. A few Camaros back, one of the ones I bought was all modded out, and had a rear seat delete. First time I reclined them all the way back was amazing compared to with backseats.

Previous bad experiences and/or jealousy.

They're big enough for me and my friends, all around 6' tall. No one really bitches other than one 6' 6" guy with absurdly long legs compared to his torso.
Maybe I need to get older before it becomes an issue, I'm only 18 so my mates are kiddos.

2015 Camry XLE
Pros:
>Comfortable
>Looks pretty nice
>Spacious
>Attacks corners surprisingly well
>Very quiet when I want it to be

Cons:
>The auto gearbox takes way too long to react when you put your foot down
>Sound system isn't great
>S mode is pretty useless (though it's a Camry so I mean whatever)
>Interior is fairly cheap, but I guess I'd have to go Lexus to avoid that
>MPGs aren't that impressive. 25 at best

Mainly nit picking on the cons, not a lot is wrong with this car. It's way more reliable than my Northstar powered '02 Deville will ever be and that's what matters.

YEHH BUDDY

2017 Camry SE
Pros:
- Handling not as bad as ppl cumplain about (mostly journalists repeating the old party line), corners decently
- SE has stiffer suspension and some other tweaks, feels "sporty"
- Lexus-esque look
- Automotive camouflage, have no fear of speeding because cops are less likely to notice you or find you afterwards

Cons:
- Paint is HORRIBAD. Barely 3000 miles and peppered w/rock chips on teh front, and I drive OCD autism style leaving quarter mile of space on the freways, I'm that annoying extra extra cautious driver and it's still destroyed
- 4cyl fuel economy is similar to the v6 model, no improvement in efficiency just less power
- No mirror turn signal indicators available from factoire
- Came stock with Halogen headlamps and high-beams. Even Kias and Hyundais and other shit brands come with HID/LED from teh factory these days. The base Corolla has LED, why the camry doesn't I dunno

>>16931452
Mine did at at around 65k Miles, it could happen but it might not. Mainly Mazda's fault as they fitted sub-par quality turbo's from the factory.
