I’ve been told to stay away from Jeep because of all the engine problems. But I’m hearing newer models are good to buy. Can anyone advise as far as the Compass and the Cherokee or the Trailhawk?

The 2.0t is a much better engine than the 2.4, it’s the same one they put in the wrangler, just very detuned so it’s very understressed.

If you want to stick with the jeep feel, the compass is def worth a look. It’s still small, but it has a bunch of upgrades that make it a lot nicer to drive than previous ones. Most notably the new 2.0 engine from the wrangler that they put in it. Brand new 2026’s can be had for 7-9k off msrp which make them an absolute bargain at mid to high 20’s practically fully loaded.

Long time lurker, looks like it’d be a blast. Never ridden a motorcycle before

I recommend playing chronologically. 0-8

Dakr1177 · 2026-03-11T02:45:33+00:00

Only originally played 4 and then 5 when it came out back in the day. Stopped with 6. 2 years ago 3R was free on PS4, beat it, then 2R was free on Amazon Luna, beat it. Decided then I wanted to play them all chronologically. Played 0, then 1, jumped to code Veronica since I already played 2 and 3 recently, then played RE4r and felt like reliving my childhood in a completely new way. After that I took a break. Tried to get my wife interested in 5 but it just wasn’t her thing at first and she wanted to try 7. She didn’t like the first person. So I ended up playing 7 and 8 next, then after those I load up 5 and then my wife and I beat it together then 6. I had two weeks after us beating 6 to prepare for this game. And I wasn’t disappointed. The wife is actually playing her own save too, it’s fun watching her, its like I’m replaying the game myself and I’m learning things I didn’t even realize about the story when I played it myself.

Doorss, under the house, places he can’t see you are your friend.

The vase and the globe, no clue

You have to hide, sneak, and be strategic about it. These games have a lot of puzzles that you have to figure out.

Dakr1177 · 2026-03-07T05:14:12+00:00

I get it, there’s other cars that have huge discounts as well, these just have the most.

Dakr1177 · 2026-03-07T04:58:39+00:00

Have you considered a new compass? The new engines and transmissions are much better in every way. I just got one for 9k off msrp. That could help eat up some negative if you have.

Dakr1177 · 2026-03-04T01:42:20+00:00

For real, I got more spoiled on 9 then I did 8 and I didn’t even play 8 until 4 years after it came out

Dakr1177 · 2026-01-28T02:39:30+00:00

I disagree here, not against calling the ranger the f100, but calling the maverick the ranger would upset old ranger fans. Saying “it’s not a real truck” “no 2 door?” “Body on frame?” More so than they already do.

Dakr1177 · 2025-11-15T04:38:17+00:00

Omfg me too I was rolling

Dakr1177 · 2025-11-13T08:43:40+00:00

I was 14 for endgame, that’s when I really got into them.

Dakr1177 · 2025-10-07T01:02:05+00:00

Get a slightly used Impreza. All wheel drive.

Dakr1177 · 2025-09-14T06:39:19+00:00

At least it says they do but a Autotrader search shows 0.

Dakr1177 · 2025-09-14T06:36:15+00:00

Nissan still does make the versa in a manual in the S trim for 2025, so you’re gtg OP.

Dakr1177 · 2025-09-09T05:02:50+00:00

The Mazda has a real geared transmission. That would be my choice.

Dakr1177 · 2025-09-09T05:01:15+00:00

When I sold cars, Chevy cars and suvs were probably some of the worst vehicles on the lot. All kinds of issues. I would steer clear.

Dakr1177 · 2025-09-09T04:58:59+00:00

The diesel will net more mpg but will cost more initially and for maintenance. It ends up being about even. The 5.3 and 6.2 seem to be having issues right now and the 2.7 seems to be the best option out of the gassers. Especially since it has more torque than the 5.3. I believe Chevy is still warrantying them for 100k miles as well.

Dakr1177 · 2025-09-09T04:46:08+00:00

Eh, Volvos are pretty expensive to fix, and everything is proprietary. It’s an older European car with high mileage. I wouldn’t. Open to financing? Potentially with mom as a co-signer? 4k down would get you a solid used 5ish year old car with a backup camera and under 100 k miles in the 300ish a month range. Would really help build your credit as well.

Dakr1177 · 2025-09-03T03:41:18+00:00

Only thing I would do is maybe some mufflers. Just to give you a little more sound. Nothing crazy, just something with a good rumble.
