Which of these would make a better daily driver?>Volvo XC70 2.4D>BMW E91 320dIm a Baltfag, our winters are annoying, but not ethernal. Roads get salted. I would use it for 200-250km per week.I tend to do my own maintenance.
>>28722256I know a bit about 320ds. If your winters are cold then you'll want to have the glow plugs done (if they haven't been done already, tends to be neglected where I'm from, maybe different where your from). And the glow plug module as well (will most likely be faulty at this age and mileage, costs at least £100 for a new genuine one here in UK). They had the M47 engine until 2007, replaced by the N47 after. Have owned both (currently have an M47 in an E46). Make sure the intake manifold swirl flaps are deleted if you get the M47, they can break off and grenade your engine. If you go for an N47, try to find one that has had the timing chain done. They are flawed and liable to fail. The N47 I had didn't come with any history, but I assume the timing chain was done as it had over 200,000 miles when we got it. Power and torque are pretty good for a 2L diesel, as well as the MPG.Do be careful when buying one. If you buy one that has not been looked after, you'll be spending a lot of time chasing the problems that the previous owner(s) left for you. Have owned a few cheap 3 series now and it happens every time regardless of fuel type and cylinder count.
>walls of text about bmw maintenancethe volvo will do 500k miles as long as you change the oil and timing belt
>>28722256both suckbuy an e39 530d, preferably manual, the gm automatics are garbage
>>28722277i fully agree as a 330i owner, but the volvo is probably really good too
ok
The Ford Focus is no more. Production of this brilliant compact has now ended, without a successor to replace it.He will be missed.

>ummm, the crossover counterpart sells 240k units per year, compared to 220k of the hatchback>that means the hatchback is unprofitable and we need to axe itI hate this gay earth
>>28727162>Yeah we're growing, but not growing FAST ENOUGH.It's the stock market. It ruined humanity.
>>28726022>CVTThe third gen Focus used the PowerShit dual clutch automated manual transmission, not the belt-and-cones type CVT that has a bad reputation in cars like Nissans.
Focus ST with a few simple mods is criminally underrated, especially for their price point Too bad. I’ve truly enjoyed mine.
What is the farthest you’ve driven on a donut before?
>>28726773You are retarded. I said it was a spare tire and everyone knows that means donut.
>>28726818Well just hoonin around in the mud I guess,That -is- a cutlass after all. I would know, I drove a (smog era 4.3) for a few years.
>>28726701When it disintegrates at interstate speeds I hope you're the only person to die in the crash. Nobody else deserves to suffer because of your hubris
>>28727227it is also not a cutlass
>>28727224ok i just had to be sure you never know
Tell me, anons: is the 22 LCI2 JCW a decent car?In the shithole of a country I live in there's very few somewhat-fun modern dailies I could get. i just want a somewhat fun modern car (2020+, thanks insurers) with carplay that wont bankrupt me. i currently drive a complete souless hybrid cuckover that gives me a fucktillion unenjoyable kms per liter.for ref 22 jcw is 38k usd here ("equivalent" to ~16-20k in the US car market). it's at the top of what i'd be willing to spend. i used to have a 11 wrx with 320whp that i sold for 25k, and i miss it dearly, even if it wasn't even remotely close to being dailyable.
>>28725901I should've remembered better. Er... You will certainly be taking a risk here. If it doesn't have any problems currently, you might be okay for a bit. Minis have cooling issues in addition to the electrical problems. General BMW problems. It's still new enough that I doubt in a year or two you'll have anything catastrophic happen to it, but its going to fully depend on how well the owner before you maintained it. You're a euro though, so atleast you lot tend to maintain your cars better than us across the pond. Ask for service receipts and work done.
>>28725903Thanks anon, I'll give it some thought.I've already taken a look at it and driven it, car's still pretty new (33k kilometers on the clock) and fully stock, service history at the Mini dealership and all. It's still a very expensive car for not a whole ton of performance, so I might end up not going for it. Problem is that we simply don't have many choices.>euroI wish
>>2872591333k is very low, and if it’s been serviced at a dealership, then I wouldn’t be too worried about this car. Usually by around 75-100K is when i’d be worrried, assuming you’re talking in km. My friend had a Mini JCW that caused him no end in problems but it was older and had 5x the kilometers
>>28725875>Spoon feed me !!!1!1!!!nta but just buy a civic or sum idk
>>28725768its a nice car, but they dont handle as good as r56. probably better as a dd overall though
Last one>>28614303Looking at buying a Honda? Post here and we'll tell you our elitist asshole opinions!Need help identifying a chassis?http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/chassis-suspension/1312-honda-chassis-code-checklist/
I still have my Accord. It’s boring, my wife and I refer to it as the “NPC car”, and it’s still bone stock, yet I absolutely love it.Coming up on 8 years of ownership now. I’ve had dozens and dozens of cars over the years but I’ve always kept my accord. It’s the car I’ve owned the longest by a wide margin. I will never sell it unless I’m down bad in a real horrible way, or I’m trading it in for a new Honda. Coming up on 80k miles soon, and I’ve had absolutely zero problems. I’ve taken good care of it, always garaged, all that. It’s basically a back up car so I can get to where I need to be when whatever absolutely shitbox I’m driving at the time decides to quit. Between the v6 and the fully loaded leather, it’s just perfect bros. If my wife was in labor right now and we had to get to the hospital, we’re taking the Accord. Simple as.Maybe one day I’ll get around to building the engine, turbo it, tint the windows, all that, but for the time being I’m leaving just as Honda intended. Thanks for listening to my blog post.
>>28724287I got my FL5 now. Why didnt anyone tell me that android auto only works wired? fucking stupid. Anyone have recommendations for a dongle?
>>28727068Accord confirmed only car worth having
>>28727068Only difference is I'd get it in manual.
>>28727214Can confirm>>28727473So in ‘17 you could only get the coupe in the manual, at least in the states. I don’t mind the automatic because if I ever need to loan the car to friends or family who can’t drive stick, I can, which is something that’s definitely happened. Would be nice to have a stick in it. I have a couple other vehicles with a stick so I can live with it. It got the J series v6 at least, so the potential for more power and even a stick is there should I ever retire it from being my “reliable” car.>>28727170I really love these FL5’s. Unfortunately I can’t afford one. I feel like Honda took a lot of the FL5’s styling cues from the CR3, and I can appreciate that. That’s what I tell myself at night.
I just moved to an upper class part of town and I see a ton of richfags with these. What is the appeal? They are ugly and I've heard they're super unreliable.
>>28727211if youre just leasing it for 36k miles its not a bad car. will be very luxurious, have all the bells and whistles, and will impress others because its got the right badgeanyone who buys one for beyond that period is setting themselves up for failure
>>28727211>What is the appealPeople who buy them dont realize it was bought out by Tata Motors 15 years ago, and is now an Indian brand. Instead thinking because it was once a European brand, it is in the same class as a BMW/Mercedes/Audi
>>28727309ahh I see they're basically banking on rich people's stupidity
>>28727211Good ride, excellently put together interior, natural feeling steering, enough ground clearance/departure/approach to navigate steeper driveways and curbs, the late queen rode in them so it has celebrity cred
>>28727309Jeets own the brand but the design and build is still all done in the UK

How much should I be spending on new tires? My budget is about $900... but that seems like a lot to me? I don't drive too much, but it snows where i live.
>>28721930Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Continental.These are known as "premium" tyres, all of them are very good. 900 is a lot if you have a small or medium-sized car, but a set of premium tyres for a sports car or a big SUV/truck can go over 1k.
I know some rubbers we can testif u kno what i mean
>>28724101hehe
>>28721930https://www.tirerack.com/Click the Shop Tires button that's right on the screen. Pick your car and it'll ask you what you're looking for. What ever it spits out will be a solid choice. Maybe not the best, but it's a you can't go wrong kind of deal.

There's a trend online where someone inside a car locks the door and rolls one of the windows down a crack and demands the woman outside the car dance for them or else they won't unlock the car. What's the meaning of this? Is there a way to replace the passenger and driver windows with stronger glass and is that a bad idea for safety reasons?https://m.youtube.com/shorts/wGWoNs-aMNkhttps://m.youtube.com/shorts/vSr1-oL__1khttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G9EimFkSTOM

What do you guys think about the Suzuki X-90?
>>28723817Is that a convertible metro? Fucking awesome.
>>28721302They're based
>>28721302Actually had one for a couple of years, five speed. Very fun body on frame mini truck. The four wheel drive was useful and allowed for very long powerslides in the snow in empty parking lots. It's very slow, you have to get on it as fast as it'll go for a lot of highway merges and even then it's not always enough. It's a death trap, you look behind you and realize you don't ever want to get rear ended hard in it. Practically it's not very useful unless you're strictly talking about four wheel drive in the winter. It even gets terrible gas mileage for it's size and low power. Warning to anyone who gets one, it's very rare and a lot of parts need shipped international. If you break a windshield or some other x-90 exclusive part not on the geo tracker you might go bankrupt repairing it. Super, super rare. I have never seen another one besides the one I had. Only 7k sold in the US and that was almost 30 years ago.

This is the first time I've seen people praise the X-90.It's often slagged off here.

>>2872220221st amendment gives them 3 presidential votes, and they also have a congressional delegate. regardless, the problem is nobody was supposed to actually live there permanently. the entire reason the district exists is because it's supposed to be a politically-neutral area for politicians to meet during every congress, before going back home to their home state afterwards. The 'residents' were supposed to be seasonal workers, rather than permanent. it was all plantations back then.

Riddle me this fags and furfags. Why do toyotafags swap tdi and Mercedes diesels when KZ and KD diesel drivetrains that literally bolt into their trucks are readily available from importers? It is hard to find a decent w123 or Jetta now and the ones that run they want a fortune for them because of you faggots
>>28727207Theyre an extension of the "just LS swap it bro!" or Ranger 5.0 kit crowd.They cant actually create on their own and have to copy other people's work.If they cant find detailed instructions on a harness swap for a Toyota diesel they'll just do the TDI thats highly documented already
The thing is, 75 percent of the posters in this thread deserve to be dragged behind a truck. I won't bother pointing them out, but they know who they are. Furfag is cancer, yes, but most of the people here like I said need to be dragged behind a truck.
