MK1 KIA Sportage... fuck this thing was all over

Cheap, and had functional 4WD. An utter piece of shit with just about no quality, and yet it sold damned well

Can't remember the last time I saw one that wasn't in a scrapyard. A guy I know/ex-coworker had one, but the transmission absolutely shat itself after having eaten its third clutch at 170 000km

>>17801615
This car was legendary as it was the first to offer knee airbags.

It was the only one in it's time to have this as well.

These things were all over when they were new. Big car, big & powerful engine, and a very attractive price. The only problem was that the only thing that was actually well built was the engine and transmission, which were a Mercedes-design and Mercedes-manufacture

>>17801633
Lets also not forget that in a lot of impacts the knee airbag served no purpose as the body just followed right after the airbag and crushed you anyways

I mean, its an interesting car, and kinda what made KIA an actually known brand here in Norway atleast

>>17801844
Australia. They're mostly used by trade workers like plumbers or as runabouts in industrial areas. They're not all in great condition though, we don't have snow and salt here but somehow those fuckers still manage to rust along the sides.

>>17801816
They actually made PT Cruisers with wood panels? I've never seen one with that.

>>17801584
No, people just hated them. They were sold mostly to companies as rentals and fleet cars but when the next model came, they disappeared since they got replaced.

I see a few sometimes but not often.

in the usa, ALL SUZUKI CARS

I just looked it up on gumtree, and sure as fuck; you guys have plenty of them

I think the reason they're gone is, like you said, rust, and the fact that very few of them had 4WD. 4WD became something that was offered with every new HiAce when the 1996 model came out, and as such a lot of folks swapped out their old RWD HiAces for an AWD version. An unloaded RWD HiAce is slippery even on slightly wet tarmac, so you can imagine what its like in winter here. I remember electricians and plumbers making their own cabinets in the back with 5mm steel thickness just to get more weight in the back

A lot of cars that rusted away in Europe and the US have managed to survive here thanks to no salty roads. Some aren't as lucky though, I've seen a lot of older SAABs with terrible rust and older Toyotas with it too. I have no idea how that can happen.

>>17801863
I still see 323s. The headlights always feel wrong to me, it's like it was planned to have popups or something.

>>17801974
Sea breeze or nothern imports perhaps?

>>17801977
I'm not sure. Sea breeze would account for some but a lot aren't near the beach. Some of the SAABs I've seen have rust just on the trunk which I really don't understand at all.

As for the Toyota's like the van, they rust the most where the sliding side door is. It's mostly just 80s ones though, 90s and beyond Camry's etc are fine.

The suspension on these seemed pretty good, but shit engines and even shittier electrics have killed most of them.

>>17802002
I want to debate this but come to think of it, these up and vanished from the roads suddenly just a few years ago. It's like they were just gone one day.

>>17801635
Fords are spectacular at nickel and diming you the second they surpass 150,000. My company just pumped $12k in repairs into my 2011 f-250 stupid duty. The radio led screen doesn't work, the power mirrors don't work and the steering wheel rubber is falling off. The ac blower motor works only when it feels like it and it has a sporadic starting problem when it refuses to turn over and the alarm starts going off. I never had any ill feelings toward fords until I had to drive one for work. Needless to say, I will never be buying one for personal use.

Ps, many of the other 250s in our fleet are suffering similar issues, so it doesn't seem to be an isolated problem with my truck alone.

And that breaks my heart. I've been dreaming of getting one for the last 12 years, but half of that time I was a NEET so I couldn't afford any car let alone a classic. At this rate I'm not getting any closer to being able to afford one in good condition.
