or you can just take the low interest 84 month loan and ... gasp... pay it off early. *Head Explodes*

You’re the only person in a day who noticed someone called out angry motorists to make an absurd comment, and so I pushed said trolling comment. You deserve an award, everyone else needs to quit getting so hot over internet comments.

Let’s focus on the positive. There was once a jeep that apart from a steering issue was virtually unbreakable. now they steer fine but break. I think i’ll go back to having one with just a steering issue please.

that’s pretty much how my mitsubishi has ran, although i stopped going to the dealer after the 45k mile maintenance and me getting suckered into some crap tires at the dealership that got replaced a year later. Good to know though as I can then add them back to my list.

I’ll do it. Bicyclists in the US refuse to follow the laws the road so it’s clearly a law of averages that eventually this sort of thing happens (albeit if this time it was Canada). I almost took out a biker with my car last week who decided he could blow through an intersection when he had a red light, then make an…

Mind elaborating on what the “basic and preventative” includes. I’ve learned with my mitsubishi that some companies make that way more complex than swap out a filter, get an oil change, rotate your tires, and check for belt wear. That said if it’s not much more complex than what i’m currently experiencing then you…

I’ll raise you a question to ask why most people who have a rear wiper blade either a. let the blade break and refuse to fix it, or b. let the motor break and refuse to fix it. I’m over here wanting an extra wiper and you a-holes can’t even keep yours functioning

This is my irrational fear on ever owning any VW product period. I love the way they look, i hate the reviews of them being in shops. It is also likely that this same irrational fear is the reason we’re doomed to boring but functioning cars.

I think you’re having a similar issue as me and it’s sticker shock (or as people on the internet argue “inflation”) i refuse to call in inflation because you’re talking 7-8k in inflation within a decade or $4k within the last 5 years which is INSANE! Upside is sales are stalling because people locked themselves into…

This is my fear. Timetable for a new vehicle for me is 2-3 years (yes i’m that freak who starts making a list well in advance because dealerships have too many shady workers and i wanna get in and get out like a bad tinder date). I like the concept of a wagon with 2 exceptions. 1 they still sit lower than everyone. 2…

tried that once. cracked rim and bent tie rod would argue otherwise.

but first off you have a focus which proved my point that you’re better off going for the model up. Second of all you don’t need awd but it makes it a hell of a lot easier. I’m sure you could bike to work but a car is easier.

I’m just going to keep beating this drum until eventually someone listens, car sales are down because prices are too high. Do i want a new car, yes, do i want to commit to paying another $30k for a vehicle when i just paid mine off a few months ago, no! If jeeps were 20k you’d have my interest, at 30k you can go eff…

my lancer hardly cost more than a fiesta and at least i can accelerate when the light turns green. It’s fine though i’ll wave at you when your tires keep spinning like everyone else in this state with FWD.

3500lb awd lancer allows me to control drift out of a slide and move effortlessly through snow. FWD light cars spin their tires at intersections and can’t drivt out of a slide once it’s begun. All you’re doing in a light car is hoping to prevent an issue. My roommate tried to tell me AWD wasn’t needed. He got stuck in…

eh when it comes to hatchbacks Focus is the only one i’d buy in the US right now. The impreza is blah, cruze looks like a turd on wheels, honda looks like half a turd on wheels (the sedan looks good though), mitsubishi didn’t even try to make a hatch. That said if you’re talking sedan then no focus is a turd on wheels…

Half the country gets snow. That half wants a bigger car. The half that doesn’t get snow doesn’t care about a fwd hot hatch when they can just get rwd sports cars. Fiesta’s are cool but not built for this countries needs

Because you can get a focus for like a whole 2k more. Also why do people in the US insist on having bigger vehicles? Easy, have you ever driven in snow? In the Minnesota for example the government refuses to plow if they can avoid it therefore you’re on your own when it snows. Do you want a fwd matchbox toy car that…

My issues on the CVT is mine tends to be extremely jerky at slow speeds (a problem i’ve heard a lot of people have with them). Given that traffic post work is 20mph at best this is where my issues stem from.

What can I do to get over my hatred of my lancer’s CVT to be able to suck up driving it for the next 2 years until I can buy a volvo XC60?
