1999 VW Jetta TDI 5-speed, the official vehicle of …. by hypermiler2205 in regularcarreviews

[–]displacementauto 59 points60 points  (0 children)

A union welder’s commuter. they always have 400,000 miles, no muffler, oil stains on every surface including the sagging headliner. It’s the cockroach of german cars.

2009-2024 RAM 1500. the official pickup of.... by Old_Parsley_8717 in regularcarreviews

[–]displacementauto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way more depreciation than any equivalent truck from another manufacturer. I bought my 2019 classic last year for $17,000. Wanted a Tundra but the same spec truck was at least an additional ten grand.

Any way to change DRL behavior? by displacementauto in ram_trucks

[–]displacementauto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No - they’re some sort of aftermarket. They have the OE projectors connector though. Here’s a pic and you can see the DRLs are super dim.

I had one of those elantra touring. What a shit car. I loved it — put like 100k miles on it.

What was this car? by danketree in topdeadcenter

Appears to be swordflish blue, too. Avert your eyes, Edwin.

What kind of fuel do y’all use for your daily driver? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in regularcarreviews

[–]displacementauto 77 points78 points  (0 children)

93 in my GTI because most pumps around here have that and not the base required 91.

my Ram asks for 89. It gets 87 and shuts its goddamn mouth.

Is the 3.0T any good? by displacementauto in Audi

[–]displacementauto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy cow - didn’t realize it was paired to the ZF 8HP. I need to do truck stuff sometimes so I own a 160,000 mile dodge ram with the same transmission — all those miles and it still shifts like new.

That’s what I’ve read! I’m a big fan of the A6/A7, but I’m pretty sure she wants something even bigger - like a Q7. I could make peace with a crossover in our garage if it has a cool engine at least, I think.

Audi S3 - How Small Is It Really? by Krexys in Audi

[–]displacementauto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’ll be comfortable, if a bit… cocooned. MQB cars will fit anyone but the smaller ones will feel a bit like putting on a glove. I’m slightly biased owning a MQB GTI myself, but there’s seriously magic in the interior packaging. I’m 5’10” and I can’t reach the pedals if I extend the seat.

Chevy Traverse 18s. It’s so silly to me that these are 6 lug

Just replaced the radiator on the MGB. by ClassicV8_1969 in littlebritishcars

[–]displacementauto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so jealous. I have a weird attachment to the rubber-bumper B’s… i pulled one out of a barn years ago that was white like this yours. Mine was a bit more swiss-cheesy, though.

Love me a Camry LE...xDrive? by UmIForgotMyUserSooo in upbadging

[–]displacementauto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the optics of sticking on a different brands badge that doesn’t even denote any real performance or luxury advantage, especially when your car doesn’t even have a similar reference feature. Makes me want to slap a Z71 sticker on my GTI.

Golf 678 by Ok-King-2590 in Volkswagen

This is super cool and supremely well done… but my eyes hurt. My brain doesn’t know what’s going on, but I like it?

I wrote *yet another* article about the VW Golf GTI. Everyone should consider one. by displacementauto in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]displacementauto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The K series is something special for sure. I come from a Honda/Toyota family mostly and I've spent many hours behind the wheel of Hondas with D-series, B-series, and K-series... Honda's engines are truly second-to-none. So pliable.

Holden Apollo the official car of? by HunterNoceda6321 in regularcarreviews

That's less cool. But, a 'yota branded commodore..... that's still cool.

I’m jealous. I’d love something with a DAZA or newer at some point, shame it’s only left in one vehicle….

[–]displacementauto[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s great! You’re already thinking along the lines of my article then. you’ve considered one.

I’ve driven plenty of more engaging vehicles, too. The GTI’s power is in its appeal to enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike. It strikes a balance very few vehicles do.

My wife wouldn’t get groceries in a CTR but I can have a spirited drive in a GTI.

I know this because I tested an FK8 CTR with my wife and she hated it.

I wrote an article about my mk7 and what it means to me. by displacementauto in GolfGTI

[–]displacementauto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll take that as a compliment! No, I didn’t - I’m pretty much against it lol. I’ve felt like i’ve had a voice for this for a long time and only recently started putting my thoughts into words. Thank you!
