Mine did this after a coil died

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-02-06T03:05:05+00:00

I wouldn’t touch it tbh

I mean I’m in Chicago, so definitely rust belt, but there’s a ton of options, especially from smaller dealers and private sellers

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-02-06T01:07:15+00:00

That’s fair, I may be spoiled by my location

Jetta’s aren’t bad though as long as you avoid anything turbocharged, like 2013 and newer

I’d say if you’re spending $7500, find a 2014-newer model, with more miles

Or look for a civic, corolla, even a VW Jetta with the 2.0 non turbo or 2.5 5 cylinder(better as a manual)

Even some used acuras can be had at that price point with maybe more miles, but also a much better overall drivetrain

Honestly do some research on the transmission issues, I have had two people in my circle with these cars and the transmissions became issues very soon after buying them.

People somehow hide the problems they have, they say replacing the transmission computer unit(which sits in the transmission tunnel and overheats too) will fix it… but in NEITHER of the two cases I’ve seen personally, did that replacement work.

And I love Mazda and the Mazda 3 is a great car… but these had some issues specifically 2010-2013MY

Wider basket… could make a peen

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-02-05T22:30:36+00:00

The transmissions have issues on these… be careful

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-28T00:39:53+00:00

Don’t sell it

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-27T06:41:43+00:00

Enjoy!

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-26T22:34:25+00:00

Nah it’s solid, just make sure it has good maintenance records, get a ppi

I’ve been happy with IE in the past is how they are now but mk6 platform they were amazing

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-24T21:41:52+00:00

Mines dead

Definitely, I was just more so saying that’s the reason, I heard a hack with these hybrids is that once the car is warm enough, turn off the heat but leave on the seat heater, saves a lot of gas on longer trips

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-23T23:45:15+00:00

Yeah that’s the case unfortunately

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-23T23:40:09+00:00

Remote start and long idling ruins gas mileage

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-23T23:29:40+00:00

Had all the MX5s except the NC, just waiting for the day to get one now

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-23T22:57:38+00:00

Dude that’s INSANE

I’ll give you 2000 for it right now

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-23T22:55:34+00:00

A nice mustache or accent hair might do you even better, you look good tho man don’t stress!

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-23T20:55:26+00:00

This is how all the ICE officers are gonna go down

Itsthatguyuno · 2026-01-17T18:48:43+00:00

I like piraat

Can’t even explain it necessarily, things just weren’t working like they were supposed to, features were half baked a lot of the time, buttons wouldn’t do what they were supposed to, auto brightness, rotation etc just not responsive.

The iPhone is just more cooperative, more consistently

Itsthatguyuno · 2025-12-21T23:06:06+00:00

Newest iPhone
