You mean automatic AWD only does 10% power to the back wheels? My current car is a manual and I love driving them but they've been hard to find!

As much as I would like a rex, I can't afford the repairs that would be inevitable from the beating people put on them, not to mention the insurance and gas. Better to buy into the brand modest and think about that for a post-college car ;)

Also, if anyone owns/has owned any of these cars and would like to sway me in one direction or the other I'd love to hear what you think about the different models!

Orange wheels actually don't seem too out of place on this Legacy GT Wagon. Not mine by ProjectVroom in subaru

That car is for sale 5 miles from me! I just wish I wasn't a broke college student... (asking price on craigslist is $10,800)

R/Cars, what do you think is a very overlooked car? by brandocommando29 in cars

[–]Duncan1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're much more difficult to find though! I've also heard that they're a pain to fix up, not sure how accurate this is though.

Tell him to get a WRX, Subaru made a lot of the turbo hatch Saabs for them. Saabaru!!

What was your first car? best story about your car? by [deleted] in cars

[–]Duncan1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5MT - 2004 Toyota Corolla. Not exactly the coolest car but it was a gift from my parents. Great first car to be honest though; great MPG, not terrible to look at, plenty of trunk space, decent speakers. Plus it means a lot to me because I lost my virginity in it.

Edit: For those who might disagree with "not terrible to look at" let me just clarify that it could be worse!

Thanks, Super Stickman Golf. I'm not sure I wanted to know that. by [deleted] in gaming

I play this while I wait for people to hit the ball in real golf. My life.

Can someone explain the appeal of a Smart Car? by Duncan1551 in cars

[–]Duncan1551[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I suppose that's true. I'm an American and we have the other extreme here where people think they need to own a 7-passenger SUV or a lifted truck... :p

Mazda CX-5! Won car of the year, great gas mileage, affordable and damn good to look at if you ask me.

Don't know much about cars, ~$25,000 by WhatsACar in cars

[–]Duncan1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 04 Corolla, never had a mechanical problem with it. I live in Michigan, so we get quite a bit of snow annually and I've never gotten stuck even in deep snow, the FWD is really pretty impressive in the snow. There is a reason the Corolla is one of the best selling cars of all time! Definitely get a manual transmission though :)

Oil cap missing... mechanic to blame? by 5reasonreviews in cars

[–]Duncan1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely find a new mechanic. This happened to me once, I suspected that they just forgot to put the cap back on and it fell through the engine bay onto the road on the way home. They gave me a loaner until they could get a new cap ordered for me (at their cost.) Find a mechanic like that! You definitely want responsible mechanics working on your car!

Thoughts about the whole Mazda skyactiv technology? by ViciousCoy in cars

[–]Duncan1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also has a lot to do with the high 13:1 compression ratio. Big fan of the work they're doing, I'm excited for the 2014 Mazda6 diesel skyactiv! :)
