How reliable are they? Looking at used cars for my gf, and I keep seeing so many of them...

While she wouldn’t have the turbo issues to worry about (it’s the 6 cylinder NA), that’s the sort of stuff I worry about. She’s across the country from me for a while, where I can’t help fix it without a flight and probably time off work, and saving up for audi part prices, and doesn’t have the budget to constantly…

Haven’t decided yet. Circumstances have reliability as an important concern, but she found an Audi A4 S-Line she’s in love with, so... Fingers crossed?

I traded a not terrible, but not amazing 2013 Civic in for my Crosstrek. They paid me $300 more than I owed on it, and that was well above blue book! I felt like I’d cheated them...

Bought my Crosstrek from Carvana. It was great to be able to handle the whole process from my bed, and only deal with another person face to face when it came time to inspect and take delivery. That said, now I’m trying to shop for a (out of necessity) much less expensive car for my girlfriend, and I don’t see any low…

Oh, great. A car twice the price it should be, that I have to spend a ton of money on, to remove enough crap to drive it without getting a ticket for impersonating a police officer... Hard no.

Glad to see I’m not the only one that only comes here for this series. Nonsensical articles with Torch bloviating about the obscure third world taillight of the week, or the next fifteen clapped out jeeps Tracy is buying today, along with motorsports politics do not a worthwhile car site make.

Don’t care if it’s the organizer playing mind games, the internet needs more mysterious positive stories. Let the cynics be cynics, this is exactly the sort of thing I can get behind.

The lack of a physical switch to turn on/off cruise control, and the default setting being off. Fuck’s sake, I just want to be able to set my speed and cruise, without needing to hit extra buttons. This isn’t Street Fighter...

These were no less miserable of conveyances than the Sundance I learned to drive in. They looked cooler, but not nearly their full retail price 34 years later cool. This is someone looking for a sucker that wants to go to Radwood. This is a $2500 car, tops.

I’ve actually wondered what that exchange was like, from his position. It’s gotta be unnerving the first few times you come down a mountain that fast in something that big, until you realize just how far the limits are with that much weight on the tires...

I love that I can pull a fuse (or wire in a defeat switch) in my Crosstrek to disable stability control completely. What I don’t like, is that the ABS is also tied to that fuse, so I can’t turn off all the nannies, without turning off all the nannies. On my Clubman, I can turn off traction and stability with the push…

Recently I was shocked at how idiotically aggressively people in Albuquerque, New Mexico drive, but that wasn’t at all the scariest.

I went NP on this out of nostalgia, and loving the way it looks. I know it’s actually a bit high for what’s wrong, but this car is so analog that anyone with a set of tools can fix it. This would make a great show car with some polish, and a fun track toy to boot. I’d probably offer $6500 and see what the seller says,…

This is pretty average for these sorts of things outside Dream Cruise season in Detroit. It’d get used for Dream Cruise, and not much else. For someone in the market, I’d say this is NP. Not my style, but I respect it...

I suppose because of what it is, it might be worth the money, but I sure wouldn’t spend my money on it...I’ve never liked the body kits Callaway has put on much of anything. 

I wasn’t suggesting a 90 Wrangler. There are plenty of them much newer for less than the price of this listing - a quick search of my local Craigslist shows them as new as 2007...

As a farm truck this might be nice, but almost 8 grand is way more than I’d be willing to pay for something like this, when I’d be terrified to take it on the road and get into an accident. Safety was a tongue in cheek word in the auto industry back in the 90s... You can get pretty decent, and much newer Wranglers or…

Few things are more expensive than a cheap BMW - especially when it’s an odd model that barely sold, and has very few replacement parts for its unique bits because of that...
