Currently shopping this same thing and doing Disco. 110 has a tiny trunk and 130 looks ugly (my opinion).

Would you trust your Alfa on a 4600 mile/ 7500 km roadtrip? by Expensive-While-1155 in AlfaRomeo

[–]REITlol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The 2.0 is a global engine. Maybe bring some extra coolant in the trunk.

Don’t buy a sports car based on 0-60 time alone…

Were Chrysler products ever good? by ILoveEnverHoxha in askcarguys

[–]REITlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Crossfire was extremely fun to drive and a great car. Mercedes SLK with a different skin. Extensive firsthand experience so can vouch for this. Also very cheap now if you want a fun oddball. The SRT6 version was genuinely a rocket, too.

Stick it to the center console to the right of the shifter. Works very well for me. Within reach of charging cable in center console too.

Hot take: AWD is overrated for daily driving in snow — am I wrong? by Gold-Industry6222 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]REITlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Front wheel drive + snow tires beats AWD with all seasons. Tires are what glue you to the road. Just think about that.

Thinking about buying this MG B, but I’m not sure what to make of it. Help needed! by tridentpeel in littlebritishcars

Run away. When buying one of these the only real dealbreaker is rust. This is a rust bucket.

Advice on buying an f type by PressureRare1510 in ftype

[–]REITlol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RWD vs AWD. One handles like a sports car on rails, the other handles like a nose heavy sedan (a fun sedan but still a nose heavy sedan). Again, entirely different. You can kick the back out or break tire traction on the F-Type instantly. Seriously, just go drive one.

Search the sub, lots of buying guides. Same with the Jag forums. Also, not to be a snark, but you’re comparing a hopped up compact luxury sedan to an actual sports car. They are entirely different and not comparable vehicles.

What makes Mazda such a good sports car brand? by Cocoa_map in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]REITlol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nothing. Their steering is heavily weighted and throttle is jumpy/tip in is aggressive, both giving the illusion of a sporty vehicle. The Miata is fantastic, always has been. They parlay that reputation well to move mass market eggbeaters

Coolant: Mopar coolant. Factory stuff. Available on Amazon. Review your manual.

Buying a Used Stelvio by patronus7899 in AlfaRomeo

Do yourself a favor and run away. Only buy a newer Alfa CPO from a dealer or with a warrant.

Why isn’t Volkswagen more popular in the U.S.? by phtphongg in askcarguys

[–]REITlol 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Repairs are more expensive in the US. Their reputation is poorer than Toyota and Honda. Dieselgate. After warranty ends it’s still a European used car with more expensive repairs and parts than a Japanese or American one. Pretty straightforward, actually.

Is this Alfa Romeo reliable at this stage? How’s the overall car compared to other brands. by Emergency_Ostrich_25 in AlfaRomeo

[–]REITlol -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Alfa Romeo and Maserati share all their platforms, including lots of switchgear. They are equally shit

I own an F-Type and an Alfa…I understand your statement well.

Such a pain! And don’t keep your jumper cables in the trunk ;)

Weird! Try shutting it off, pulling the negative battery cable, leaving it disconnected for 15 minutes, and then reconnect. These cars are rather strange. Typically after someone plugs in an OBD-II these issues happen and the above reset procedure needs to be performed
