is suzuki the most reliable car brand in 2026?
>>28991029so all you can do is speculate.
>>28990360Toyota has 7 models that are rebadged Suzukis, Nissan has 4, Mazda has 7, Mitsubishi has 3 and Chevrolet has 6.
>>28990222Their disaster-era cars are still on the road so consumers and mechanics dealing with them have nothing good to say, hence all the negative feedback, their newer models are pretty reliable.
>>28993495I don't think you understand what rebadged means.
>>28989837Halt your speaking...
How big a deal is it to not have power steering in your daily? I'm about to pick up a new old tiny 2000lb fagmobile, but I feel like the small turning radius isn't really useable without power steering
>>28993326You're supposed to only turn the steering wheel while moving in power steering cars too unless you wish to replace your steering rack and ps pump
>>289933215 point turns suck
>>28993321None of my cars have power steering and I don't hanker for it, ever. But they're all under say 2100lbs (Suzuki & Mazda)
>>28993480It does improve road feel if you properly depower the rack (greasing the rack and pinching the lines) or do a manual conversion but it sucks at low speed moving. The benefits of road feel really only shows if you're pushing the car so hard front traction gives out, when the front gives or about to give the steering loosens up a lot. It's also useful for snow and non-abs but really it sucks big time in parking lot movements. It's worth trying before committing but I was a stupid teenager when I did it and just did it
>>28993491I legit didn't know this because no one ever told me and I've worked as a mechanic for a few years lel>>28993612Mine was an rx7 FC that I depowered (I also stripped the interior) and about a 2600lb car is manageable even with a quick ratio powered rack

>>28993524I keep hearing "enthusiasts" say the hate for those sniffers is overblown and we'll all get used to it, but it's been 6 years since the G80/1/2/3 came out and I still find them absolutely heinously revolting. Everyone on BMW's exterior design staff needs to be thrown into a volcano and replaced.
>>28993803Do you hate Aston Martin and Bugatti too?
>>28993816The last decade or so of Astons with gaping wide grilles spanning the entire front end that look like whale sharks, yes. Prior to that with smaller grilles looks good. I haven't liked any EB110-present Bugatti grilles. Reminds me of an Edsel.
>>28993822I have lately seen people defend the Edsel online. Yes, compared to the BMW sniffer it feels tame, but don't kid yourself because it was fucking ugly when it first rolled off the factory floor, and it's just as ugly today.
>>28993524>muh m4When a Pontiac Grand Am looks more aesthetic, then it's time to hang it up...inb4>dude..have you seen the m4 lap times at Nurdburgring shut it.

>>28993525>>28993529I know who he is, what the hell. I’m all about right to repair. But no one will pay you to tell them how to do it. And it’s a crime so you can’t make a business of selling “surveillance defeat devices” or the feds will be at your door. Repairing Macs? Not a crime. Disabling federally mandated systems? That’s a crime when you do it as a business.
>>28993525why don't you tap into your cars computer and prove your point

Have any of you ever used a prepurchase inspection service, such as: - Pomcar- Lemonsquad- iNeedaPPiI'm considering buying a used car in a different state, and I can't travel there to test drive it.
>>28993901I have not used a service like that but it sounds like a good idea.
>>28993901Did some for Lemonsquad (and some others) almost 20 years ago. They use mechanical failure inspectors which are independent contractors that mostly do inspections for extended warranty companies. Virtually all are retired mechanics.It was my impression on PPI's that they don't usually turn up anything earth shattering. Most of the time it's just nicks and dings of a car that been used and the micro scratches of a car needing paint correction. Bigger items are usually visible in the seller pics if they're at all comprehensive and the buyer looks at them critically. The car won't be put up on a lift unless the seller chooses to (most won't because that's money lost having a lift out of action for any amount of time) and the inspector will accompany the seller/salesman on a 7-10 mile test drive while checking if the cabin electrics work. Keep in mind that the inspector only sees 35-50 bucks to travel to the car and do the written report with pics. The other 2-300 that it costs goes to the inspection company(s) that basically act as broker/dispatch. Oh, and you will not be given the inspectors contact info so any questions you may have for him have to go through the company(s).IMO not really worth it since the seller is either representing the car well enough to you that you can make your own decision or if you're that suspicious it would just be better to move on to another seller.
>>28993935>Keep in mind that the inspector only sees 35-50 bucks to travel to the car and do the written report with pics. The other 2-300 that it costs goes to the inspection company(s) that basically act as broker/dispatch.This makes me think that the inspector doesn't have an incentive to do a good job and write a good report. He might just use AI to slap something together.
Even if they don't find anything at least they can verify the car is real, buying sight unseen without some kind of buyer protection is retarded.

So, which one will be the second to go? My money's on Hammond.
It’s actually foreskin cancer. This all could have been avoided had he been properly brissed as Abrahamic god intended.

who was in the wrong here?
>>28986960That car driver probably attempted an insurance scam. He had plenty of room, chances to drive away and there was no reasons to rage at truck driver. Truck driver didnt do anything wrong.
>>28989448During lockdowns there was a whole generation who were given a license without ever taking a physical driving test.
>>28986960>who was in the wrong here?You can use this rule: If it is from the US, it is always both who was wrong. Nobody can drive in the US.
>>28993847I'm a good driver. I only got 2 tickets last year.
>>289869604 wheeler for being a nigger.Truckers also at about 20% fault for not slowing down and disengaging. Competing with retards only drags you down to their level. If you are a professional, act like one instead of trying to be billy bigbollocks and fighting with the animals.t. trugger

The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), presented by Gran Turismo, also known as The Race to the Clouds, is this weekend.Post hillclimbs you enjoy.
Harewood is a favourite in the UK. Good prices, good crowd and the mix of what’s running is always interesting. It’s not a massive course but it’s challenging enough
im fairly confident I could get a regular E46 M3 up there faster than this incel

>>28992753no wonder you dont like exceptional things, such as great steering feel, in life

I bought a 22 Camry 1.5 years ago and its just dogshit. I know people here will pay $50k for a Toyota if it runs but it's ridiculous.My AC has a high pitch whistle if I go any higher than level 2. I can't afford a $200+ diagnostic fee at the dealer.Plastic parts snap like it's an old 90s car. I barely drive this car. It has under 25,000 miles with several broken plastic pieces. I'm not hard on cars as I'm a car enthusiast. I bet money that my GMT 800 would last longer than this piece of shit.Thankfully I have positive equity and will be selling it.
>>28988925>american built toyotas
>>28988907>I can't afford a $200+ diagnostic fee at the dealerShouldn't that be under warranty?
>>28988907>I can't afford a $200+ diagnostic fee at the dealer.bro financed a 30k and cant afford a $200 diagnostic LMAO! you will always be poor with decisions like that
>>28993560I’m broke and don’t own a car but I just know whoever made this post is fat and retarded
>>28988907Yeah, but did you learning anything? Because next month you're gonna be at the Toyota 'Store' signing off on some other overrated shit.
would you get a Subaru Crosstrek or a Honda HR-V
hyundai kona, much better than those two
>>28992962Mazda CX30 is the only answer. They all suck but at least it doesn't have a fucking CVT.
If that includes crosstreks when they had manual and the real subaru AWD, it'd be that.
Mazda mogs both. Between the two pick the Subaru.
>>28992962No.
>>28992666that's an Isuzu Pup, Satan.
>>28993290isuzu pickup, not pup.
>>28992783I've seen a modern Mercedes pickup here in LA with Mexican plates.
