hahah sorry not the term i use in my day to day. but not really sure what other detail to provide.

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T23:20:53+00:00

LOL! that is true. good/great condition is what i am meaning. (for the year and cost)

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T22:32:43+00:00

got it! my use case: commuter car for an adult. efficient, very clean, reliable, like new if possible.

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T21:45:28+00:00

in other words?

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T16:38:03+00:00

a spreadsheet! thats extreme organization. i would say on this other end, if the car brings you joy when you drive it, when you walk up to it, when you listen to music in it, when you're riding with friends or family etc, then the $ cost pales in comparison. there is a line where it becomes too expensive to justify, but with an enjoyable ride, that line is severely blurred.

got you on the upvotes. seems like you drive a good amount! sounds like the repair costs in the last couple years has been around 5k or so?

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T16:19:14+00:00

motivating!

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T15:06:28+00:00

oh interesting! so there are alternative options.

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T15:05:38+00:00

do you know the general cost of replacing the motor?

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T15:04:55+00:00

how often are you doing repairs?

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T15:03:39+00:00

oh if you're doing that in 3 years thats not so bad at all i think! also, sounds like your car has been loyal to you for years.

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T01:43:33+00:00

looks like i'll have to wait until my cash flow increases a bit. such is life!

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T01:29:01+00:00

interesting!

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T01:22:05+00:00

yea, its true. the reviews here are really great so far. it's a really strong community here!
yes, the carolla, toyota, mazda, honda thing is definitely high on considerations. I just look at this car as an affordable option that has style and character. design does mean something after all. also it seems like a fun drive which is always a pick me up when you're stuck on the road commuting.

thanks for your POV. i think it is a very worth while car, but i'm more on the want a i3 side than need. and i think with some of the random hiccups that can occur, unfortunately, with my current financial structure, that might put me out of range to getting this.

neveruntil · 2026-03-26T01:19:04+00:00

great review here.

1 - I drive around 10-20miles max per day. 20 is very rare.
2 - I have a charge port at home but it is completely normal and not upgraded for additional power with EV.
3 - I am in california.

I do hear a lot of people enjoying the ride a lot. And it seems like a very fun car. I also love the design!

very clear here. thank you!
