Four months ago I paid $7500 for a 2013 4-door hatchback Impreza. It's got aids or something because the oil light was on, I changed to 10w30 and it stopped. The check engine light came on, my mechanic says it's a timing code and cleared it. Didn't come back on for months. I got a flat tire, replaced all tires, check engine and dynamic traction control light come on together. I took it to a Subaru dealership and the guy noticed a rapid ticking sound. Instead of fixing anything he just added a quart of oil and told me to drive it to see if the lights would turn off on their own. And he said the motor was going to go at some point and leave me stranded okay bye have a nice day. Tomorrow I'm taking it back to tell them adding oil didn't magically fix my shitbox.I need a new car. This thread is for everyone who wants advice on choosing.I have wanted a WRX for a long time. I just got a good job for the first time in my life and will be able to afford it. But I just found out the STI was discontinued and looking at all the recent models is just painful. I live in Massachusetts so I really want AWD. I want something that will make 18 year old girls wanna fuck me. And I want something that is mechanically reliable as fuck. I'm not concerned with high end performance. Some modern conveniences like remote start and heated steering wheel would be nice. I quit driving in 2009 and just started again so these goddamn ipads and rear cameras and in-dash navigation systems seem like stupid annoyances. I could come around to a navigation system. But I saw people getting ads on their screens and said fuck that. I want buttons and knobs goddamn it.What do you guys recommend? In the parking lot where I work there is a gorgeous WRX in pearlescent white with a big wing on the back. But I'm fucking sick of buying used and getting surprises. I just bought this shitbox and 6 months of use will have cost me 7.5k. It's stupid to gamble like that and pay so much more for a worse car.
>>28804216>fag-wheel drive
>>28801220Meh.. if you buy used you need to be smart, do research on the model youre interested in and know what to look for/look out for when you inspect a specific car.This being a 4chan user, none of that is even a remote possibility so 'yeah' these "people" should only buy new cars. Preferably not subarus and other meme shit but definitely not while thinking "i have no personality or desirable traits, i'll buy a car so girls will be interested".Ergo this is a larp.
>>28801151I got a base wrx and am pretty happy with it. But I don't think they even make the base anymore, plus all the new fangled bullshit they force now.For 30k it's a good deal. For 60k to get all the feeeeeaaatures it's not.Gr corolla is mechanically better I think.Girls don't like wagons FYI. So it needs to be a sedan or suv if you don't want to be an incel. So the wrx wins there even though it's ugly as shit and wagons are cooler.

>>28804208One, or two, another ideas, is either a Stinger GT or a Q50 3.0, since they can be had for similar money as a 280 hp Giulia from the same years. How are those?
how long should my battery last?ive had my car for 2 years and idk when the battery was last replaced by the previous owner but im starting to get nervous it might leave me stranded. Should I preventively replace it even tho its working absolutely fine?
>>28804070caring about your appearance at all is feminine, a real man doesnt put any effort into his appearance he just looks like chad by doing whatever he feels like

Porsche sisters, how do we respond?? 20 years bested by plastic that GM recycled from kitchen utensils and pig metal from melted down Chevettes. Was Stuttgart really unable to beat this Kentucky jerry rigged trailer trash?

>>28804930copehammer strikes again . why do americans have such rape fetish ?
>>28805589And? Still raped the shit out of anything Porsche had back then. So badly they had to beg for it to be banned from SCCA.>>28805626Sucks to suck!
All I want is a single cab, long bed truck.my budget is $15-25kI have no brand allegiance2WD is fine with meNothing too old, or too modern.What are my options?
>>28802500Murder sex cult, young women went along with the creepy old guy because they desire pussy tingles and a distraction from the fact that women are bad people and they don't care if the distraction kills them. He got massive amounts of women throwing themselves at him after he got convicted and sentenced. I think he set his beard on fire once during a court hearing?
>>28802529Hes currently serving a.lofe sentence for murder.Can you tell me if he stabbed or shot or poisoned or whatevered his victims?

>>28801859>High trim level survivorship biasBullshit.Most common trim level available (then and today) were/are XLTEngine size was independent from options for Custom, XL, XLT and XLT Lariat.The V8 was only standard in Eddie Bauers and special models like Nite.I know this is difficult.for a zoomer to understand but the options list was an actual list. If you didn't want it you didn't have to get it.Unlike modern cars where trim levels automatically denote what options you get.My XLT Bronco had 90% of options. Captains chairs, push bumper, premium two-tone paint (not just the base two-tone paint option), power everything, cruise control and even the 29" tire option over the factory 27" (kind of rare).And it was ordered with the 300.
>>28793750Holden Commodore or a Ford Falcon. But the hinge on the Falcon tailgate is unforgiveable.
Carrera GT is a famous widowmaker but in 2004 it was the fastest car on the Nurburgring for a short time. 2010 Viper ACR was 4th fastest after Radicals and Gumpert Apollo.
>>28803571This car is so mighty, yet so ugly. Like a woman who's ugly but somehow tempting, so you end up in bed with her, where she suddenly overpowers you, ties you up and spanks you to death.
>>28803365Tires help but it’s really the onboard computer doing the throttle and braking. Modern 911 has the ECU/TCU traction control and stability control and PTM if you have it all working while you drive. Which is to say if you push the gas you’re not actually controlling the throttle. You are informing the computer what you want the throttle to do and it controls the car for you so you don’t kill yourself.
>>28803569It didn't blow out, they were just old as fuck and couldn't get grip? Why do you make up fake scenarios and get mad at them?
>>28802989Whoa it's like race cars should be driven by race car drivers or something.
>>28802989>[Snap oversteer intensifies]SW20, pre-lift model specifically That said it's a skill issue thus a shit load of people got caught off guard when they switched to a MR or RR car even when it was a low powered shitbox like the beetle, the fiat 500 or bambino
Can we finally ban EU vs US wars on this board? If you really need to argue about who's more retarded, just go to /pol/. Instead let's appreciate a car that Bongs and Mutts made together.

You only want this now becuase the corvette tm outperforms every european street legal production car (while costing less)
>>28805094>drive a wedge between long time allies who are ideologically opposed to certain nationsGood point.

What cars have engines that can be rebuilt in an apartment with flights of stairs? Meaning what cars have an engine (or atleast the longblock) that a ~20 yr old male can carry up a set of stairs. Carbed or fi is fine.
>>28803703Any sub 3.0L inline 4, any motorcycle engine, you could also consider a van that has a dog house so you can work inside of the van to service it.
I worked for a package service a long time ago and saw V8 Rover (Buick 216) engines come through. No fluids no ancilliaries but they were handled just like a normal oversize parcel.

Are pre-purchase inspections a meme? How would getting one even work logistically for a desirable car that will be off the market in a week or two?
how to ppi>use your eyes
>>28805358>Are pre-purchase inspections a meme?Seems like it. It's not like they're going to pull all the spark plugs and scope all the cylinders or do a compression test or pull the tranny pan to check the magnet for metal debris. The rest of the inspection is just checking for leaks, excessive rust or excessive play in components which you can check yourself.
>>28805444i pp in ur i lol!
just yolo it and buy without inspecting
>>28805470Oh, Dale got a new Vette? Good for him!
why do they lie about this not working when it does?
>>28799729The traffic lights have sensors.These sensors are frequently older and buggier than anyone will admit (they dont collect data on how well it works lol)For cameras, flashing your lights may workFor underground ones, you need to move the carIt absolutely *works. They are lying saying it doesnt. Fucking shithole country.*'can' work. Itll change what the sensor sees; how the sensor responds depends on its programming.>>28799837Above ground (cameras) are gaining popularity.>>28799843I move the car, not flash lights.Comment too long.

Also there is the "GM smell" which is the counterpoint to the smell of fresh dollar bills and instantly reminds all Americans of trailer parks and food stamps.

>>28804287I wish them the best but I will not be buying one personally
>>28804291except americans don't want it to be an EV
>>28804287It's DOA>Without the 7500 tax credit it's now incredibly expensiveNot that it matters, anyone that can benefit from a 7500 tax credit isn't buying this. Maybe fleet sales, but the lack of a resale value is going to kill the fleet aspect. This is a 15-20k truck at best and last I looked it lacked basic economy shitbox amenities that have been standard for the last two decades. Cool concept but it's overpriced.
>>28804292Small, relatively light, simple, with a solid turbodiesel and AWD/4WD would be sweet.

The day after another brit and I landed in Australia we met up with the locals dressed in shorts and t-shirts, all while they were wrapped up wearing hoodies/jackets and winter trousers. This was during their winter, our summer.I could have sworn they called us "mad cunts" or something too.
>>28805184>UK is fine at -10C/14FHow?
It only costs 30 500 euro which is 3 500 less than Miata. It's also faster than Miata (0-100 kph in 6.5 s and top speed of 240 kph vs 0-100 kph in 8.3 s and top speed of 203 kph. Unfortunately it's fwd and you probably won't impress any girl with it.
