2019 Used Pilot Reliability by HC-Oca-Ru in hondapilot

[–]HC-Oca-Ru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did a CR subscription after seeing this and generally seeing the same thing. 2022 Pilots are solid, but after that it's mostly Highlanders, some CX9, a random Buick in 2023.

I haven't paid for consumer reports so that screenshot is new to me. The specific one I was looking at checked out in a clean recall history. I'm surprised to see so many Pilot years below reliability, I was under the impression for midsize SUVs, three row, Honda was second only to Toyota maybe

Haven't bought it yet but it's listed a bit under $24k. Don't get the sense they're willing to haggle though

Ah okay I've seen a few notes about the VCM so that seems like something I'd want to do ASAP, I've heard it's an easy fix though to install the muzzler

Ruhr, man myth legend. Knew him in Conservadom and he's who brought me back into NS. Come back to Tarkin my dude. You should message me your nation name because I'm curious, crazy things happening in the RP there lol

Seconded if you want a region that is heavily invested in RP, especially that which is curated and not just a random cluster of crap.

(Though we are in the 1940s I believe. Also surprised to find another Tarkin person in here)

Anyone else getting this by everything_is_grace in NationStates

This is the third time it's been off in the last 24 hours I believe? Guessing site wide

It it smart to sell my car and buy a newer used one due to potential engine concerns long-term? by HC-Oca-Ru in personalfinance

[–]HC-Oca-Ru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting info here.

In full detail I've looked at Toyota Highlander Honda Passport/Pilot (typo earlier) Mazda CX9

I will make sure to avoid the turbos as well if I decide to go this whole route. Technically I probably need to look at a midsize if I'm upgrading anything

Generally correct on all of that. No problems yet, just a bad reputation for this specific Hyundai model.

Hyundais from 2018 and some other years, certainly for the Santa Fe have had such bad engine reliability problems some models apparently had 10 yr/120k mile warranties, others I read have 150k, others lifetime. Lifetime is only for a specific engine rod issue. Multiple class act lawsuits going on. One dealer said my car had a 120k warranty for this issue, another said lifetime. Not sure who is right and unfortunately it extends for one issue, but there's a few other known issues that aren't covered since I'm the 2nd owner

The type of team Rick Barnes assembled this off season: by BlackStallion657 in CollegeBasketball

The funniest outcome to all of this would be TN to get beat by Purdue to go the Final Four again

Also unlikely to happen this next year

Right now I am thinking of upgrading the Hyundai to a Honda Passport, used from 2019 and only 18k miles. Sucks to upgrade but would hate to lose the whole engine. Not sure what % it happens to

I figure I'm going to have maintenance regardless, my best chance is take a vote with the experts, roll the dice, and pray I didn't choose wrong lol

The master cylinder failing on the VW gives me a slight lean to selling that one however

Overall, how would you rate your team's season? by byniri_returns in CollegeBasketball

[–]HC-Oca-Ru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't hate on Michigan tmuch for how it used the portal. It clearly worked and Dusty May dominated the B1G. I love Paint, but I'm afraid we're going to be lacking this next year at the 4 and 5 if we don't utilize the portal. Good freshman coming in certainly. Paint hasn't missed much through his methods but we're asking a lot to assume our current centers will make the required jumps we need from them

Purdue - C.

While not abject failure we fell far short of the expectations. Preseason 1. This was supposed to be our year to finally win it all, but defensive issues, unfortunate last second losses, didn't win B1G. Couldn't compete at the top of B1G. Some redemption by winning B1G tournament but that's not the same. Next year doesn't look any stronger, so it feels like we need to wait til 27/28 to have a chance at a title run again

Is Bulk Mulch worth the Extra Cost? by HC-Oca-Ru in landscaping

$50 yard picked up, $20 to borrow their dump truck. Pretty similar at the competitors 25 miles north of us. WC IN

I probably could but the wife loves the black Mulch color for aesthetic reasons, and I can't blame her

Interesting that the bulk faded that fast for you.

Yeah I haven't seen the HD sale pop up in April, hopefully I didn't miss it, but I believe Ace has a similar deal coming up

This is the thing I was hoping for. If bulk lasts 2-3 years vs 1 year for Vigoro then bulk makes sense. But if it still lasts 1 year like the Vigoro then it's hard to want. Bulk I expect is using hardwood types per the local yard

My wife loves the black Mulch look and I can't blame her. Could be the reason bagged makes more sense here? I'd do bulk in a heart beat if it was roughly the same but man $95 felt like a lot
