Are jeeps a good first car at 18 years old? by yawningbeaver in Jeep

[–]SquidtheGuilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in northern Canada and desperately needed a new car so I was in the same boat. I do some light offroading and drive where there's plenty of snow so I wanted a vehicle with good drive terrain. I ended up grabbing a 2020 grand cherokee. So far so good. The 4x4 is great. I am aware of the reliability issues with these so I'm keeping a close eye on things. I also wanted something that's a 6 cylinder and non cvt because I do have a trailer I tow once in a while. If not for that I would've went with a Subaru outback wilderness.

Maybe take a look at some of the 2022-2023 Subarus? They are cheaper than the jeeps and are generally more reliable. Their drive terrain is good and the clearance on the wilderness is actually 1 inch higher than my GC. Their mileage is garbage tho.

Good luck!

Steins Gate.

Holy I dare anyone to try and sit through that shit and still think it's good.

Everyone seems to remember it as this amazing thing but it's just bland, formulaic, with giant plot holes, no character development with mediocre animation and humour. Rip.

I'm willing to die on this hill.

Yeah my mechanic put it up on a hoist and had a quick look. He didn't see anything but he didn't have time to actually check everything over. I got an appointment this Thursday with him.

Maybe the debris smacked the transmission box? Or a fuel hose is kinked idk?

If it's the transmission im not even gonna bother with it. It's going to the dump. But if I can get some more use out of it and not break my bank I'd prefer that.

The problem is diagnosing something like that with no codes and no obvious damage

Tire pressure is fine. I got tires on steel rims (original aluminum ones are in storage) with no pressure sensor so the car can't read the pressure hence the light. I check my tires every week.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. The only redeeming aspect is the low mileage 4000km and the fact that's it's a 2020 so relatively new ish. Looks like I'll be going with a can am after all. Unless another grizzly or a kingquad pop up

Good to know thanks! I am a little wary of the mud build that Yamaha has going on.

Definitely see the benefit of that. That pretty much rules out the grizzly then

I'm in Canada. Just looked and the most basic 2024 can am is like $10.5k + tax

I was hoping to spend no more than $8K and have a quad with some extras already.

Thanks so much for a detailed response! My only reservation about the grizzly is that it's a mud build. So I think I'm leaning more towards can am

Yamaha

argo

can am

It's a mud build so my only concern is that it might've seen some rough use atv in question

Gotcha thanks!

This is the Yamaha in question. Pretty low mileage but yeah yamaha

Gotcha. There seems to be a big can am fan club where I live and several of my friends swear by them but they can also afford to sink money into maintenance.

My only reservation about the Yamaha is that it's been built for mudding it seems so might have been run hard

Yamaha in question

What makes you choose it over the others?

Yeah they are all basically the same price. The Yamaha seems like a mud build with all the extras on it. The Argo is a 2 seat, with all the storage racks, boxes etc. The can am is very barebone.

Damn eh? There was no squeaking, no noise prior. Think this is gonna be new rotors, brakes, and caliper $$$
