So long as it’s not rusted in there, then yes the oxygen sensor is pretty easy to remove. That’s actually the first DIY repair I ever did on a car.

My 2015 Camry, because I haven’t had to work on it. When I do it’s fairly basic, it’s just been slightly tweaked throughout the years to be the reliable cheap appliance that people want. There’s a traditional 6 speed auto, no CVT here, 4 wheel disk, Macpherson struts up front, shocks in the back. It’s pretty much the…

2nd Gear: What portion of “Golf” sales are from the Golf Sportwagen, which existed under the Jetta name plate until 2015?

My first car was a Volvo 850R, my second car was a Volvo 850 T5-R, my third car was a Volvo 850 Turbo. My dad still has the 97 850 n/a he bought new in 97, it has 300K and doesn’t leak a drop of oil. These cars are truely awesome. They run forever, and the turbo models have some decent mod potential. They started with…

Maybe I’ve been spoiled by driving european cars (Volvo’s, and VW) but we drove a 2015 Fit EX-L and it had a ton of road noise. We drove it on asphalt. We ended up with a 2015 Camry SE, we got a good deal, and figured we won’t grow out of it like we could do with a fit or corolla.

If you didn’t like the CR-Z road noise, you wouldn’t have liked the Fit either.

I’d like to think I’ve experienced driving pleasure, having owned a Miata, and Focus ST, and done a few auto-x. Yet I still purchased a Camry. We drove every mid-sized car available before settling on the Camry. I do drive 20,000 a year so low running cost is important. However having driven the “bests” that the…

Meh, I had a pleasant experience at CarMax. Even after taking their written offer to other dealers, no-one would even match the offer.

It’s not the mechanic’s job to deem what is safe for the roads. It is his job to uphold the law’s and inspection procedures, and report accurately what the condition of the car is. He doesn’t get to make judgement calls on what gets to slide.

Stop using 1980’s diesels if you care about the environment.

Miata, I always repeat miata over and over again after seeing one. It annoys my SO, but she understands.

AC compressors are clutched, so they use very little power when “ideling”. For obvious reasons you don’t want an electric water pump.

Tavarish, you missed a golden opportunity. The best cruise, is jumping in your car, and driving somewhere. You could easily stay under $1000 per car for 1 week. Stay in state/national parks, camp on the beach, ect.

You sold a car you inherited....to FAMILY, knowing the car was “the devil”? Sounds more like you and your wife are the devil.

Neutral We just bought a mid-sized car (Camry). We looked at ton’s of CUV’s and midsized cars, even a used TSX wagon. The CUV’s don’t have the same performance as the midsized cars. The Mazda CX-5 with the 2.5L was an absolute dog. I took it out on a 6% grade and in order to keep up with traffic (65mph speed limit) it…

2004 MazdaSpeed Miata 87,500 miles, asking $8400

I’m really surprised the Mazdaspeed Miata isn’t on here. Everyone loves Miata’s and with only 2 years for the MSM’s they are pretty rare. I’ve seen them in the $8,000 -$12,000 range for clean examples.

Yeah, really Kei cars are hard to make a profit on when you only have 1 small market.

Transmission gearing can only go so far. In the end. It’s your drag power that you have to overcome. Since drag power goes up by the cube of velocity.....good luck. Lowering your Coefficient of Drag can only go so far as well.

Man would it kill you guys to get a tri-pod, or just an intern who doesn’t have Parkinsons?
