They keep making the ugliest cars on the planet yet people are buying them up more than ever before. What's their secret?
>>28911872nobody in the market for an m3 is even considering a bev. But its fascinating how purists suck it up.on the rs5 audi put these 20k in additional parts instead of a fine to the EU. As a result it is 8x cheaper in tax than the m3
>>28911151>Corvette>make it a rear-mid engine so you can't even put your gf's purse in itGM could have just taken the C7, given it a rear bench, and called it the 5th gen Firebird. They'd be raping BMW so bad, the EU would have to block it on some envireurofaggotry

I need some advice from Euroretards like me that have a USDM carI need to do a timing job on my Eclipse but local dealerships in Europe are quoting me fucking 1000 USD for parts aloneI found some website in Canada selling OEM parts for dirt cheap and apparently it's not a scam website (Thank god), but they only do national shippingSo i tried to ship the package to a friend in Canada unfortunately he pulled out because he's a lazy fuckSo now i only have the option of paying a company to do the job for me, but they all have a bad rep, so i figured maybe some /o/ geniuses would have gone the same way as i did

If I mix 2qt of 5w30 and 2qt of 10w40 in my sump, will the oil effectively be 7.5w35, or is there something I'm not accounting for? I need to roll bearings to buy some time, assuming they might be a bit looser than ideal but worried about going too heavy for the pump.
>>28907324You only say they're reliable because you've truly never known what a reliable car actually is. You're a pajeet who's eaten nothing but disgusting wet slop their entire life so they think that that disgusting poop food is what good food actually is.

Why doesn't /o/ like audi ?
>>28911202VW with some tinsel. At least when you just buy the VW, you're not just lying to yourself.
Once upon a time, Audi engineers designed their own line of vehicles, and VW designed their own. And when VW was allowed to use Audi's good ideas we got the MK4 VW cars. Golfs/Jettas/Beetles with major part commonality, some really good ideas as far as power trains went, and what felt like tons of value for the money in the early 2000s. But now? It's like >>28911252 says. And because VAG shares the same morons across the sub-companies when it comes to electronics design and construction, all of the luxury car problems are being included in the budget line of cars. 19 mode massaging seat control module causing a parasitic drain in a car without the massaging motors? Only in DAS AUTO.
>>28911202Audi Enthusiasts should be buying Genesis cars now, BMW if they need an extra boost.Audi is dead and has been dead for over a year now.Reliability has tanked except for their milquetoast garbage part time AWD entry level cars.DEsign philosophy is cheap and trendy which means it looks bad literally months after its deployed.Shiny black plastic is not a premium interior trim.Prices are not commensurate with the product.Pic related.Every single person defending Audi needs to see this picture.
>>28911209first two explain why those brands suddenly improved massively.no idea about beanz tho lol
Engine over front axles, DSG fart boxes, most models now are fake quatrro where they run fwd 90% of the time
Can you all help guide a beginner in the auto world decide on a used car to buy? It will be for both me and my wife and will have a car seat. We live in a place where driving in snow will be a factor. My first thought was a Subaru forester because of the things I’ve heard about safety and reliability from those models. Are there any years to avoid when buying used? We’re test driving a 2016 Forester with 115k miles this week. Are Subaru’s good enough for me to not have to drop $3k in maintenance over the next couple years? I’m open to suggestions on other cars as well if this is lesbian mobile isn’t a good SUV/crossover choice. I had a bad experience with a Chevy trailblazer that I bought used years ago from a shady used dealer. It wouldn’t pass a legitimate inspection and I had to bring it back to the “dealer” to get most of my money back. The shop owner was screaming at me, but I had my .45 in my jacket, so my composure helped me get most of my money back. Never again!

>>28911519>it's not like the masses woke up one day and said "I want a lifted heavy gay version of a car"Except it was literally like that. BMW made the X5 and Toyota made the Rav4/RX300 and everyone decided they wanted to buy those instead even though the sedan equivalents still exist. Hell still exist to this day. At the end of the day it was still the free market that chose to buy an Escape instead of a Focus and a CRV instead of a Civic.

Look I like Toyota but you've described the ownership of pretty much every single new car for sale. Anything you can buy right now save for tech heavy luxury cars will almost certainly see 50k miles with no repairs.

How's the Mazda3 fare against the Civic/Corolla? Wanting to buy a reliable car, maybe used, and Honda/Toyota is generally more expensive in that market. Also I think they look better. I've heard good things about them but my mechanic friend told me today that they are shit.
You are all assholes and I hate you all so please go kill yourself from a high building you fucking shills
why are americans absolutely obsessed with hondas and toyotas being "reliable"? or is it just an online teen urban legend thing
>>28912212Because Honda's B16A and K20A were simply bullet proof and had some of the best horsepower per litre at the time for naturally aspirated engines. Toyota (1/2JZ) and Nissan (RB26DETT) had excellent starlight 6's. The Co2 emissions terrorists killed many excellent engineering accomplishments.
>>28911525Civic and Corolla sell more units in Montana, than Mazda sells 3s globally. What do you think?

Tried guessing RAM at first whoooops
i was driving one day and needed to stop abruptly to avoid an accident and my brake pedal just went straight to the floor, nearly died. i thought initially it was the brake pump, but then someone said maybe its the brake line, ran out of fluid or some shit, or maybe a (((squirrel))) chewed through it, because apparently that happens and happened to someone they knew.how would i tell the difference?i managed to get home somehow, but only because i live in the middle of nowhere. i only get the one tow from my insurance and if im gonna tow it i need to know if i can even afford to repair it first otherwise i gotta pay to tow it back and its just for nothing.so any way to determine this and get and get a good idea of the damage?
>>28912185trace all lines going from the master, look for any wet spots immediately around the line and connected components
>>28912193this happened like a year ago so thats a no go, i thought the car was finished. if its just a brake line tho, i might be able to fix it
The pedal going to the floor usually means a brake line burst. It happens. They rust. The first thing you do is - >>28912199The fuck man? You just let it sit for a year because of a blown brake line? It's not a hard fix. Just get it on a lift. You NEED it on a lift OP. You don't wanna be pissing around under the vehicle fora brake job, it makes it a lot hard and take a lot more time. Anyway fill the brake fluid resevoir, and pump the brakes to find out where it burst. If it's a line or a connection just make a new one. If it's a caliper just replace the caliper.
>>28912268the possibility there was a line hadnt occurred to me at the time. when it happened, i conceived it as being some bellows sort of mechanism or instrument, and as with a puncture or tear, no long could retain the air and thus was unable to draw air to pump the brakebut youre telling me it could be something else entirely, i can jack the car up. might even have brake fluid too. so if i apply it and nothing leaks, then what?
>>28912185Problem is its a ford

>>28909980Tesla did fine when they created and rode the initial boom. Teslas are mostly bought by normies who don't have opinions what a good or even decent car should be like. Now Tesla is slowly dying because their lack of updating their lineup and Elon wanting it to be a robotics or ai company. Hyundai/Kia, the Chinese and VAG and Renault at least in Europe are leaving Tesla behind.
>>28909997Everyone has something negative to say if you tell them you drive a tesla, always some comment about the fires or the doors not working, but the ladies always change their tunes when they see the phone chargers
>>28909980Ugliest line up of cars ever made. Cheap shit construction.
How does the "gigacast", single piece body affect repairability in case of a crash?
>>28911790https://www.industryarsenal.com/p/gigacastings-save-on-vehicle-repairsIts cheaper overall to repair over the lifetime of a car. Its safer overall for driver as the gigacast protects drivers from certain death in crash. Tesla is consistently #1 safety i both active physical material safety and passive software safety, on both points Tesla ranks #1, combined its just leagues ahead of everything.
