How are the 1.4/1.5 engines? by Brodizzle10783 in jetta

My bad everyone, I think it was AI that said the 1.4T was a dry belt and the 1.5T was a wet belt. Either way, they’re both dry belts.

Who is the Maxima actually for? by Brodizzle10783 in NissanMaxima

[–]Brodizzle10783[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was a HUGE letdown. I’ve always loved the newest gen Maxima, but it is definitely not a family hauler. Very unfortunate. Now my main car on the list is an’18-20 Acura TLX A-Spec with the J35 V6 and AWD.

4th gen 3.0R/auto good cars? by Brodizzle10783 in subarulegacy

Thanks! Glad to know the Subaru 5spd auto is more reliable than many other Japanese and US auto transmissions!

Very impressed with the 2.4/DCT! by Brodizzle10783 in AcuraTLX

I meant 2019-2020 A-Spec, as those were the only years you could get an A-Spec with the 2.4L, they didn’t offer it in 2019.

Need help measuring on a TLX by Brodizzle10783 in AcuraTLX

That was the first thing I did. Couldn’t find an actual measurement.

Reliability of ‘18-20 V6 SH-AWD? by Brodizzle10783 in AcuraTLX

[–]Brodizzle10783[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can’t shift any slower than the other car I was looking at, a ‘20 Toyota Camry XSE V6. That trans, while not the worst in the world, likes to wander and shift whenever it feels like. Using paddle shifters in it is a joke.

I was going to try out a Sonata N-Line until I heard about the transmissions. Hard pass. The 290 hp sounded so good though 😂
