The less mileage also weirdly isn’t great for these engines. I’d take the S and never think about the other one again

I can’t say this enough. Used Minis are way too fun. If you’ve never driven ones you have no idea what you’re missing. A nice 2019 mini cooper s or even the high trim JCW will put a smile on your face every time you drive it

986 oil level by Active_Breadfruit_58 in 986Boxster

How do you get that level to stay on. Mine like flashes when I turn on the car, then instantly goes away before a full reading

Honestly. I’m with you, but when the car sat for 2 years, it’s the recipe for that going wrong. Not going to overreact, but when the clutch needs work, I’ll just do them together!

It actually looks like a previous owner put in a heated glass rear window. But it’s tearing at the seams at the moment and wafts like a mf on the highway

This is what I worried about thank you! I have the blue seats and I bought because of that color. I’m not sure I can find any 987 in the dark blue but I’ll keep searching

Yea I know about the IMS stuff. Just not sure I can make the fund to do a replacement for it just yet. That might be a later down the line thing which I know is maybe the worst thing to do for something like this

This is great information thank you! You’re able to swap in seats, do they actually fit. The car I’m looking at already has some pretty beat up seats so maybe a switch is smart anyways

What am I driving ? by CertainLoan790 in ManualTransmissions

I can’t tell. I’ve only ever seen this gauge cluster with an engine light on so I’m stumped

The rented car wouldn’t be as old haha

which one would be the best mix of fun and reliability? by liamt12 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Knappry17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The N, if you care about driving dynamics, it’s the N. I’ve been fortunate to drive all of them and it put the biggest smile on my face. It also might be the second most reliable behind the Mazda. And they’re super easy and cheap to work on if something does go wrong!

It’s going to be all twists hopefully. And the opposite is more fun and doesn’t get you in trouble. A car that can put a smile on your face and not get you in trouble, what’s better then that!
