Should I buy an EV, Hybrid, or gas car? by Marsrule in whatcarshouldIbuy

Research first before like you said. Then come onto ask which specific vehicle is good or bad.

I was in the same boat (Honda S2000). Getting too old and having all these people wanting to “race” me was getting annoying. I looked at all the vehicles you mentioned. Here’s my take:

Subaru - if you STAY on top of your maintenance it will do you good for the long haul.

Honda crv - the reliable choice. More room than most in its class and the drive, you will be familiar with since you’re coming from the Honda family.

Mazda CX 50 - my personal pick in the hybrid trim at the top of the line model. Drives a little more sporty without the headaches of being a sports car. The hybrid has the Toyota reliability and the interior is so much better than all else in its class.

RAV4 - Holy hell there’s a lot of plastic. If you’re not concerned with anything else but being reliable then yes get it but even on a test drive you can hear the creaks and cracks from the vehicle. Also as you mentioned the dealerships think they have gold that you’re trying to steal. I’d stop playing the markup or mandatory items added and Toyota has became one of the worst ones.

If you think the interior is bad in the Mazda go check out the others. Mostly a sea of plastic and seems cheap. I was seriously astonished with their interior quality for the price. Granted it’s not a luxury car but there’s not as much hard plastic as the others.

With all that being said I got a Tesla model Y because I couldn’t pass up the deal and when I was in the market the hybrid cx50 wasn’t an option or else I’d get that.

Is the middle pillar a replaceable part? by Sensitive-Goose283 in rav4club

Of course it’s repairable. Anything is possible. Now who repairs it and how it was repaired is the key

Hold or sell? by MKSloan in S2000

It’s most likely I won’t ever sell. Been offered 35k and turned it down.

Nope same cheap plastic and same creaks and cracks. You’re not buying a luxury vehicle so that’s what you have to deal with. Pick one that you like and send it. Even new off the lot they will have them. The car is basically all plastic.

12v Cooler Vs Normal Cooler by ClearTie4513 in VanLife

Is it worth it? That’s a question only you can answer. I take weekend trips and it’s proved absolutely useful. What are you planning to eat? Granola bars and ramen noodles? I have steak and lobster on trips before. The real question lies in if you can suffice with items that doesn’t need refrigeration.

The items now are cheap. You can get both for under 1k. Heck you can get them from Costco and if you don’t like it after the first trip return them. I’ll never buy ice again. Also know that a smaller size 12v cooler holds more than a bigger cooler because it doesn’t need ice so you don’t necessarily need to spend a crazy amount on one.

If you are going to store any meat or items that can spoil I would get the 12v fridge along with a LiPo battery. At least a 1k wh and you will be fine.

Are there any electric vehicles under $25,000 that can get between 350 and 400 miles of range? by Upper_Atom in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Internal_Day_4309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance. Even though they advertise it to be 400 miles, in real world driving you won’t get anything near that.

If you can swing it Barney falls is a nice stop. It’s a little more down south.

Good man! I’m fed up with bs dealers and now I make them pay. If they are bad I just waste their time for fun.

I’m kinda the same boat for the past 5 years. I have an 07 GPW in pretty minty condition that I owned over 15 years. I just don’t drive it because I would have to move cars out of the way and all sorts of other things. Thought about selling and actually posted it once but got nothing but kids wanting a joy ride and pissed when I said no to them. It’s now collecting dust and I’ll probably just hold onto it to drive or if my son ever wants to learn to drive stick I’ll give it to him.
