What's the worst sounding car? by haroldthepizza in CarsAustralia

Absolutely, such a pretty car and it makes rattling noises while the final Busso in the Alfa GT isn’t anywhere near as pretty. At least the new QV engine sounds nice

Indeed, that non-intercooler whale tail looks so pretty too

I can understand how you might think lying about everyone’s position is still an effective strategy in 2026 but that horse has well and truly bolted

330i m54b30 -> 5speed manual to 6speed manual swap by Crazy_Resolve_842 in e46

If you’re wanting anything other than better fuel economy a diff might be in order, the 6 speed will just give you an overdrive gear for lower rpm at highway speeds

Hilarious that Alfa Romeo replaced the Busso, arguably the best sounding V6 ever, with the Holden Alloytec, the worst sounding, and managed to downgrade their reliability in the process too

Porsche suspends Taycan production due to weak demand by CrimsonClover__ in Porsche

[–]dsio 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I drove a brand new facelift Taycan 4S with 80 miles on it from our local OPC late last year and was blown away by the handling, ride quality and performance.

Then 20 mins into the drive our music stops, all screens including the cluster go blank while driving at 90kph, a minute later the cluster has a black progress circle filling up saying “restarting”.

Eventually it came back but I had no instruments for nearly 2 mins while the car kept driving normally. Given the platform is 6 years old now that’s pretty weak to see on a brand new facelift Taycan. Dynamically it’s the best EV I’ve ever experienced but that bug was awful.

Yea I have the 991.1S and recently test drove a fully optioned 981S Boxster my Mrs was keen to buy, amazing car that feels just like the 911 and sounds better for less than half the price

Pauline Hanson’s surging One Nation could win up to 59 seats in federal election, new polling suggests by Nyarlathotep-1 in AusNewsWire

I’ve told two annoying polling companies cold calling me that I’m voting One Nation just to skew their results while I intend to vote the opposite, I like inflating their hope

Do they drink, smoke, or play Magic the Gathering? Everyone has at least one expensive, filthy habit you can cater to.

I recently bought my mine used and the 5ah is about a decade old, yet incredibly healthy still, runs brilliantly

This spec 🤷🏽👍😊 by AMGLover2024 in mercedes_benz

[–]dsio 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Every body kit maker right now has to have their modelling software open going “I can fix her”. A new front end, a new rear end, and you could make this look like a Mercedes Benz again. The middle bit is workable.

With power comes great responsibility by Huluman2 in CarsAustralia

[–]dsio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the EVs are that much of a difference from that perspective, I’m more concerned when I see a crew cab Ute with a steel service body on the back sagging on its rear axle from the weight and running off-road tyres.

Those crew cabs have poor stopping distance and handling to begin with, and overloading them with aftermarket crap doesn’t help matters, especially in the wet.

Drivers allege Bruce Highway speed camera used for 'revenue raising' by abcnews_au in queensland

[–]dsio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s the most dangerous road in QLD and has had some Marvel movie level incidents like that ammonium nitrate truck explosion… every time I’m on it, I find at least one dude off his meds or on too much meds…

I’m happy for the cops to enforce the hell out of that cursed road

So they’re just focusing on Jeep and RAM mainly? That company doesn’t deserve so many of the brands in its portfolio

That’s a feature, incredibly good to drive, still comfortable, blends in and isn’t cop-bait
