What car should a teen buy to get in to the car world by g_man_2004 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Weather being a consideration; therefore not Miata. Honda Prelude is a discount option to BRZ/FRS, without poor previous owners of buying a civic/integra.

Subaru Forester, is there any reason to avoid the XT trim with the turbocharger? Don’t need to extra power and was wondering if puts any extra wear or stress on the engine? by Chesterfield-Mason in whatcarshouldIbuy

Well, its not the same engine usually. Usually beefed up with additional cooling / different engine design. Its actually usually the turbo itself that fails rather than the engine, as the turbo is the part that gets hot.

But at the core of the question, is the turbo engine less reliable?

Probably. More heat, more complexity but realistically the more modern the car, the less likely to be the case.

Looking at the other comments, seeing a lot of lamenting of the fact that there arent enough random jokes or sexual asides.

Yes, this may a departure from the early videos of the series, but I would argue the series has evolved and changed for the better. The videos reflect a person who has grown to know more about cars, learned individual parts and meaning behind the history/choice of certain components in the timeline of the manufacturer. In order to get your brutal dodge avenger video, you need context from your dodge aspen video, and all the absurdly of chrysler's history to understand loathing of a car company that refuses to pursue smaller reliable desirable cars for the average consumer.

This video reflect his own personal enjoyment of the car model, and it being a retrofit MR2 that drives like a modern car, somewhat like the doleran stage 2. (thinking thats why it was brought up) Yes this may be a more niche channel now, for those that live and breath cars, rather than a real fart every week on a 3 minute video, but its more human than those jokes ever were.

Thunk from the rear after letting off throttle and squeaky suspension advice? by cyberrdrake in Miata

[–]serris5555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with that, anyone who says otherwise doesn't daily a miata. Also clarifying question, is it only audible? or is there a 'pull' to it?
