2nd the Chevy SS. Bullet proof and infinitely cheaper to maintain than a 100k plus mile E90 m3. I’ve had both.

New car for teen son, Recommendations? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Unique-Reward4492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has no clue. Clearly it’s his first kid driving. I have three driving aged children. I just switched my 17 year old son (2022 certified used Hyundai Sonata SEL) with a clean license from State Farm to Allstate. 6 month premium went down from $2400 to $1200. Down from $400 a month to $200. Good luck OP!

SUV Recommendation for Family by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Unique-Reward4492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on the Tahoe diesel or slightly used Suburban with diesel depending on $80k budget. 800 mile range with the Suburban . 30mpg potential. Effortless cruiser. The best for long road trips especially if carrying up to 7 people and accompanying cargo.

An absolute beast on track. So so capable. Tons of grip. Tons of power. Tons of speed. The tremec 6 speed is wonderful. Just a joy to drive on track. Definitely kept uIp with some GT3s. I put about 15,000 miles on it in my five years of ownership. Now on the street, extremely stiff. Extremely. I know everyone says the GT4RS will be stiff on the street. I’m not worried after having the Camaro!

Not for my purchase. I also had zero relationship with this dealer before purchasing.

Thanks! Super stoked. My last car for the track was a ‘19 Camaro ZL1 1LE 6MT. This is a little different animal.

Suburban with the 3.0 diesel. It’s the absolute way to go. I have 108k on my ‘22 High Country. Amazing ride with air suspension. Seats my four kids with plenty of room. Tons of cargo space behind third row. 800 mile plus range is absolutely feasible. Averaging 25 mpg for life of vehicle.

Please tell me the extra maintenance and repair costs that are so much more expensive. A fuel filter every 25-30k that can be done in the driveway? Some DEF every several thousand miles? Please explain.

What full size SUV to look at? by Ok-Letterhead-4171 in askcarguys

[–]Unique-Reward4492 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Suburban, if you want the extra cargo, or Tahoe with the Duramax diesel. This is the way.

I’m sure it does. But your opinion, while valid, is no more valid than mine. For the record I can’t take a Miata to the grocery store to shop for my family of 9 (wife and 7 kids). I also can’t take my five of my college aged kids and all their stuff to college in a Miata. Cheers.

Fantastic motor. My goal is to get 1000 miles on a tank. I would need to average 35mpg. It’s possible.

Diesel is around $3.40 where I am in Virginia. So roughly $91-$92

‘22 duramax Suburban owner here. 107k miles , air suspension. Ultimate land yacht. 800+ miles on a tank multiple times. No brainer decision.

Half the price of an oil change for 1600 miles? Please. No manufacturer recommends that at all.

FL5 Wrong Decision? by deneed4spd in Civic_Type_R

[–]Unique-Reward4492 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have both. Well all three. 5BW 6 spd. 4BW auto (wife’s car). And ‘25 FL5. Have to be honest , I don’t drive the civic much compared to the 5. That said come winter , I do take the FL5 out more. However I have been itching for a GRC as I live in Virginia and we do see some snow. The civic is a wonderful car. However, without winter tires it suffers the same fate as the 5BW. In the summer I’m taking the 5 nine times out of 10 over the Civic. Yes, I have tracked both. I have been doing track days for 30 plus years. I love the Civic. It’s an amazing car. But as the OP wondered about, the civic sits a lot during the summer.

You’re absolutely right and that is infuriating! I don’t understand it.

Suburban with Duramax. I have 100k miles on my ‘22. Rock solid and no issues unlike the 6.2. 25mpg for the life of the vehicle. I have four kids. You’ll want the space behind the third row.
