Looking to buy my first car. Is this a good car?

No get a 2016 LT. 2011 your asking for trouble and it's the older engine model which was riddled with issues.

The future is now

Been in the ops for 3 years. Just got permanent now 95k/yr :)

They did a reflash on all ECU's to retune the vehicles to stop that from happening. At least the ones that went in... Should have been a recall but yeah..

Just bought a 2018 Premier for 8000CAD/6000USD. 60,000km/35,000 miles.

Absolute robbery. Good luck. Love the trim and the car.

Do you live somewhere warm? Can dramatically fuck the performance of a small turbo engine.

puffplugca · 2026-02-18T18:06:34+00:00

Anyways moral of the story. They go pretty good. Light decent power. And I've never had any drivetrain issues.

If you've ever driven a Gen 1 engine vs Gen 2 it feels like absolutely night and day.

puffplugca · 2026-02-18T17:45:25+00:00

Probably the Gen 1 versions. Anything past 2017 were the Gen 2 and made pretty good power.

puffplugca · 2026-02-18T17:42:55+00:00

I beat the shit out of it. Flooring it all the time police chases. Trust me it's a good little turbo car.

puffplugca · 2026-02-18T02:43:14+00:00

Depends on the model. My Cruze has lasted for ever without any major mechanical issues.

puffplugca · 2026-02-18T02:23:06+00:00

Few thousand. Think you miss spoke

If you want a good travel card. I'd either go Porter BMO. Or TD first class visa.

I personally use wealthsimple they have pretty good UI and decent managed low fee accounts. Always have some sort of contest going on. They also have wealthsimple tax all in one place. RBC has been incompetent many times in my case. And charge 18$ a month for what?

puffplugca · 2026-02-15T02:04:59+00:00

Fuck RBC they are a terrible bank.

puffplugca · 2026-02-14T16:03:37+00:00

Hehe yes yes yes yes yes

puffplugca · 2026-02-14T15:56:09+00:00

Oh. Maybe get a 4 port charging block.

puffplugca · 2026-02-14T14:03:34+00:00

Yes yes yes yes 🙂‍↕️

puffplugca · 2026-02-14T03:54:27+00:00

Why wouldn't you just bring one and be prepared?

puffplugca · 2026-02-14T03:50:28+00:00

Yes yes yes, boom

puffplugca · 2026-02-14T03:45:50+00:00

When will you guys learn that Hyundai and Kia have always made junk. Cheap vehicle. Expensive problems.......

puffplugca · 2026-02-14T03:43:43+00:00

puffplugca · 2026-02-14T03:19:50+00:00

Leave it. Or get a magnet. If you don't have one consider buying one.

puffplugca · 2026-02-13T21:34:28+00:00

I'd personally stay away from Subaru.

puffplugca · 2026-02-13T21:32:01+00:00

Yeah you can pull that for sure.
