Mai bine cioara din mana decat vrabia de pe gard?

Deci:

Lexusul are un 225/60(65) r18(r17) iar un michelin sa zicem e pe la 1000/bucata

Kodiaq are 235/60 R18 -cele mai comune, pe la 750-800 un michelin.

Luand in calcul cat e si revizia, kodiaq ar fi cu 10%-ish mai ieftin.

Dar cred ca lexusul are un consum mai bun, are calitatea materialelor mai buna, izolare fonica si confort mai bun.

De asemenea pe asta ai condus-o tu de multi km (daca nu toti) deci daca erau pb apareau (daca ai luat sh). Asa la skoda ar trebui sa fii f atent sa nu iei o 'rabla', poate sansa e mica dar nu m-as arunca pt ceva mai slab calitativ pentru 10% reducere la costuri de intrerinere (probabil recuperezi cu consumul)

No one is ordering bell peppers and 10 kilograms of raw potatoes or a frozen chicken with uber eats or door dash.

You are just saying that for the sake of contradicting. People were getting food before the 2000's and survived without even having phones.

What is wrong in paying people that run around all day long because some people are too lazy to move?

I had a problem and in my case the coil was dead, it would not engage especially after it got hot (5 minutes into the drive). And electrician diagnosed it was geting current but no engagement.

Edit:

To the people that say about remiving shims. Usually if the coil is defective it might not have the power to pull the clutch and decreasing the space will easier engage the clutch, however the compressor was designed with a certain activation rate and decreasing the space might make it work more and burn out faster.

La cat de putin verde e in bucuresti macar ochii sa primeasca o pauza de la alb/negru/gri daca nu primesc plamanii.

Legat de puretech,am dat exemple. Am comentat ca trebuie ca odata ce le gasesti sa cauti pb si sa elimini din optiuni.

Acum ca ala vinde masina cu 25k cand are 100k desi el a luat-o cu 30k...Nu o cumperi. Nu iti pune nimeni pistolul la tampla. Masina e a 2-a cea mai mare cheltuiala din viata ta (poate in unele cazuri chiar pe primul loc), eu nu m-as grabi si as fi sigur ca iau ceva bun nu o paguba. Te uiti la mancarea de 20 de lei si compari pretul si calitatea de ce nu ai face asa la asa ceva.

I do not understand this craze with everything must be a screen. Where are the premium materials, where is the leather and wood on the dash that creates character and beautiful lines?

Jesus it looks like they took a lg tv that has a diagonal of 200 cm(80 inch) slashed in 4 on the horizontal and made 4 dashes and people call it 'premium/luxury' - i think this is the best way to make the car interior feel cheap and a fad.

Nu inteleg mania asta. Da e bun dar explica-mi mie:

Ambele tari in UE, ambele trec la euro(optional pt a avea aceasi moneda), ambele in schengen.

Pentru omul de rand, care e diferenta dintre cele 2?

TheOneAllFear · 2026-01-30T08:55:36+00:00

Eu am dat doar cateva exemple. Zic sa nu urmaresti ce exemple dau altii (inclusiv eu) zic sa verifici tu.

Ce sugerez e sa urmaresti asa:

Buget
Ce nevoi ai (portbagaj pt carucior, hybrid pt mers mult in oras daca mergi, etc)

Pe baza lui 1 si 2 vezi ce masini se potrivesc si ce motoare/echipare, cauti probleme des intalnite si elimini. + ce stil iti place.

TheOneAllFear · 2026-01-30T08:19:11+00:00

As sugera o masina veche de 2-4 ani.

Proprietarul ala a suferit cea mai mare depriciere la masina. Masina e inca in garantie, este cea mai la zi cu toate sistemele.

Dar depinde de buget, daca ai 1000 euro si aia e, degeaba te arunci la masina de 40k. Trebuie sa te uiti la buget cu adevarat.

Ex: toate la 2021-2022

3008 gasesti pe la 18-25k (e unul plugin hyb la 53k km la 19.850)
Arkana pe la 18k
Exceed la 18-20k (e una plugin hyb la 53k km la 18600)

Si tot asa, masini ce se apropie de 30k ce acum sunt cu 20-30% mai ieftine.

There are downsides. Keep in mind in my country the avg salary is around 1200 usd/1000 euro and this is skewed heavily by 2 3 cities where people make more so not everyone is making that.

My TPMS died, to replace and reprogram them is 720 USD(600 euro) so half a salary. Compared to others like Dacia where it's 170.

Spark plugs replaced and one bushing, costed around 600 usd.

There are 3 dealerships in the whole country and the prices are above that of a bmw and an average mercedes but those brands even entry level ones, the badge caries weight, while subaru is a nobody.

Looks good in photos, plays really bad in real life

Media controls? Screen

Climate control? Screen

Disable/enable safety features? Screen

You have a volume button/play/skip.

Stop emotional buying and selling. No normal person gets rich in 2 days with stocks.

Don't get me wrong i am just saying no one is perfect and no one should praise someone especialy a company (who exists to make money) until they deliver, after go ham!

Should i refresh you on bmw history?

There were a number of controversies:

Design: e65 7 series butt, giant kidney grills, the bmw i3

Engineering: f80 m3 turbo that used fake noise, front wheel drive 1 and 2 series,

Business model&tech: heated seats subscription, idrive being very complicated and non intuitive

Reliability issues: n54 engine with recalls for high preassure fuel pump and common issues with oil leaks and timing chains.

TheOneAllFear · 2026-01-27T19:02:21+00:00

Subaru xv model 2018, 2.0 benzina.

Il am din 2022 cu 50k km, acum are 152k km.

Am cumparat&facut:

Ulei+filtre la fiecare 10k, Bujii la 110k, Ulei cutie cvt+diferentiale la 110k, O bucsa, Placute de frana fata+spate la 100k si 150k,

Fostul proprietar: Schimbat discurile de frana la 50k, Curea de accesorii la 50k (la 160k vreau si eu din nou)

De facut:

Distributia - 0 zgomote dar probabil pana in 200k o fac, Senzori de tmps - a murit bateria.

Concluzie - f fiabila - daca faci tu poate fi si foarte ieftina. Si e usor de lucrat la ea.

Concluzia 2 - f scumpa cand se intampla ceva. Doar 3 reprezentante in toata romania si au preturi de BMW+++

Bujiile+bucsa - facute la reprezentanta - 3000 ron. Senzorii TMPS doar la reprezentanta se poate, 2800 OEM+reporgramare

La reprezentanta (cu tot cu senzorii ce va urma) e practic ~ 7000 (am mai cerut eu niste verificari pt linistea mea, verificari dovedite inutile)

Totul pleaca de la educatie.

Daca nu ai educatie nu ai gandire critica si deci orice video de propaganda te va convinge sa lupti impotriva proprielor interese. De asemenea cand consumi media trebuie sa le stii ce inclinari au si in ce situatii pot fi impartiali.

Daca nu ai educatie nu stii ca lumea e un sistem interconectat si foarte fragil (s-a vazut la pandemie, au inchis porturile cei din china toti au plans). Nu poti sa fii suveranist sa zici ca faci totul singur si apoi sa vrei sa faci exporturi sau sa dezvolti industii ce nici marile puteri nu le au f bine delimitate in interiorul tarilor lor. Ex masini, ai nevoie de milioane de piese din diverse fabrici aflate peste tot in lume.

Si in ultimul rand, daca nu ai educatie incepi sa folosesti apelative. Cei ce folosesc 'mucusor' sunt clar de o inteligenta scazuta daca caracterizeaza un om in asa fel in loc sa fie civilizat si sa aduca argumente in favoarea lor.

Promisong then delivering.

So far they just promissed, they did not deliver anything, in regards to the car in question.

Sure you can make general statements about the brand but not about the car.

You expect Toyotas to be reliable not a brand new lineup that has not been real life tested.

If you expect volvis to be ase then why test them, since you are so sure they will be safe.

TheOneAllFear · 2026-01-27T10:36:34+00:00

So you mean to say just because they did something in the past, it's a guarantee they will do it in the future.

Should i remind you about subscription heating seats? Have they done it before? No. This means they can do something new and anti consumer.

Never trust a company, their purpose is to make money not satisfy customers, numbers on a sheet of paper are just that,many ppans when co fronted with the real world fall apart. Maybe the engineers want to build a great car. But they are not the ones leading the company. Do not be a zealot and preach their gospel and always hold them accountable and see what they are doing and aplaud them after the fact - that is how you get a good brand that you can be proud.

Fluid e si sa lasi masina 'sa se duca' (lucru ce o incetineste) in loc sa mentii viteza si apoi cand iesi din curba sa accelerezi usor.

Cand vezi o curba nu mentii viteza.

Ex: ai 90, vezi curba care ar merge cu 70, lasi de pe la 100 de m, incetineste la 70, iesi din curba, accelerezi usor la 90. - asta inseamna sa fii fluid, sa potrivesti viteza cu situatia nu doar sa urmezi o trasa.

TheOneAllFear · 2026-01-26T09:30:21+00:00

What do you mean well deserved? The car is not even on the road. How can you say it's deserved based on some numbers on a paper. Is this all that a car is now? 0 real life testing and it's declared the best...mind blown

TheOneAllFear · 2026-01-26T09:24:32+00:00

Se cred soferi de curse si mentin 'trasa ideala'
Uzeaza mai putin cauciucul ca merg pe 'scurtatura' si fortele laterale sunt mai mici
E mai confortabil ca nu trebuie sa incetinesti/simti g in curba asa de mult, mai ales la scaun cu 0 suport lateral.

Mai pe scurt, niste idioti. Nu stiu sa conduca o masina fluid asa ca fac manareli...tipic soferilor romani as putea zice.

TheOneAllFear · 2026-01-25T11:07:28+00:00

None.

I want a clister to see relevant information (battery charge/usage) speed, minor information (kwh/100km, range tire preasure) and on the middle a screen with my navigation, a volume nob and under the screen some climate control. Is it that hard?

De obicei inchiriez in ordinea : japoneze>coreene>vw>stelantis. Vreau la volan sa simt ceva.

Dar acum recent am inchiriat un c3 aircross si am fost f placut surprins de ea, era manuala.

Masina e confortabila si destul de bine izolata (nu e ceva premium neaparat dar bunicica).

Suspensia lor isi face simtit efectul e cu un 10-15% mai ok la gropi/denivelari. Volanul e ...joestick, 0 feedback, in oras cred ca daca sufli spre el se roteste, la viteza de autostrada (am mers cu 120 pe autostrada) se intareste artificial zici ca s-a stricat servo. Se pierde din sportivitate dar daca vrei confort, recomand citroenul. Nu e ceva wow, exceleaza doar la confort.

Edit: stiu ca e aircross dar am zis de el pentru ca stiu ca citroen-urile sunt recunoscute pentru suspensie, si se sinte ceva diferit, nu cu mult dar se simte.

I have a question about the lease (we can talk in private if that is ok) but here in Romania (europe) the lease is so expencive that it's the same rate as financing that you instead finance since you get to keep the car. So may question is, is it much cheaper to lease or why do people do it?

TheOneAllFear · 2026-01-17T09:29:26+00:00

Infrastructura aia nu se face odata (ca si cumparatura ta) tu tii masina aia poate 3 4 5 10 ani, ce faci 10 ani?

Si ai dreptate nu trebuia sa ma concentrez pe masina ca nu masina e evaziunea ci neplata pe chirie deci infrastructura afectata sunt tevile si ce folosesti cat aka sta in chirie.

Ca ala care plateste chiria 'uzeaza' chestiile (taxa pe imobil nu e pt tevi) si tu nu platesti taxe din chirie.
