@Px4 I was culturally enriched and my car was stolen, and they managed to blow up my engine lol. that's why I dont have the civic anymore

Best overall vehicle I’ve ever owned has to be my wife’s Honda CR-V. I love my truck but we get a lot more use out of her car. Great gas mileage, room for 2 car seats, holds value about as well as any car can

@godric diversity is truly our greatest strength

2019-03-03 22:27:32 UTC  

@godric 3rd 4th and 7th gen civic's are my favorites

2019-03-03 22:27:44 UTC  

You had a 7th gen, I believe.

2019-03-03 22:28:25 UTC  

@Px4 I lean a bit more towards the Rav4 but the CR-V is a very very close second.

2019-03-03 22:28:37 UTC  

For that market, at least.

I can’t seem to get away from driving my pickup, it’s just too useful when you need it. But for a family type vehicle it’s hard to beat those small/mid SUVs

2019-03-03 22:30:58 UTC  

I'd love to get a pickup in the next few years

2019-03-03 22:31:27 UTC  

Fortunately my father only lives 20 minutes from me and has a little tacoma that I can borrow when push comes to shove.

I recently got a Diesel F350 at a bargain price.

The Ford 6.0 Diesel motor is much maligned for it's numerous recalls. But, I got a 2006, the last year of the motor, when the kinks were worked out.

Ford 6.0 diesel can be purchased for 25% less than other equivalent Diesel alternatives.

I get 12 mpg around town, and 22 mpg on the interstate, which is fantastic for a 1 ton truck.

I have only ever owned a Honda civic. It has lasted me 16 years now.

2019-03-03 22:37:45 UTC  

@micbwilli bastard, living in a non-salt belt state.

2019-03-03 22:37:58 UTC  

Never would last up here lol. How many miles?

2019-03-03 22:53:05 UTC  

@Ecarttev I dont see a reason why your engine would make noise when turning. My thought is when you turn your rotor is scraping.

2019-03-03 22:56:26 UTC  

I think it has about 250k now. Only maybe thing I ever did to it was replace the motor mounts. I have never changed the oil on time or taken good care of it.

2019-03-03 22:59:28 UTC  

Gotta say my 07 TL which I drive now or my 2001 grand Marquis thing had over 200k when I handed it off to a friend he only lost it because some lady crashed into it parked totaled the whole car. At that point it had close to 300k

2019-03-03 23:00:01 UTC  

Zero major issues just change the fluids and tires

2019-03-03 23:00:45 UTC  

2002 Chrysler sebring, 2005 Chevy cavalier ls, 2013 dodge avenger r/t. Out of those cars my current avenger is probably the best. I only have ti change the oil once a year, its muscley, only doubled the miles on it. Started at 39k almost at 80k. Got me from WI to VA/PA nonstop with zero issues

2019-03-03 23:01:17 UTC  

But I'm going to e7ther get a Tesla or a truck next. Winters suck with fwd cars

2019-03-03 23:01:54 UTC  

@Auf WI @Papa Pizzagate I had my oil changed, and it hasn't happened again.

2019-03-03 23:02:34 UTC  

Pretty strange, make sure keep up on your fluids

2019-03-03 23:27:53 UTC  

@Auf WI Exclusively American cars?

2019-03-04 00:21:30 UTC  

@Papa Pizzagate All the cars Ive owned so far have been, the other 2 are no longer with us.

2019-03-04 00:25:27 UTC  

But I do like Dodge vehicles

2019-03-04 01:53:47 UTC  

My 2wd Ford Ranger was pretty cool because I bought it for $2k and just abused it. I would take it mudding, and when drove on a wheel with a shredded spindle bearing for like a month

2019-03-05 03:35:18 UTC  

It’s still very early on in my ownership of the vehicle, but this 94 Camry is reliable AF. Just crossed 290k.

2019-03-05 03:36:05 UTC  

Drove to Utah and back in it after I flushed the transmission the second time and other than a shift solenoid E error code, ran flawlessly. Started up in the cold pretty well.

2019-03-05 03:37:29 UTC  

I’m going to avoid buying a car later than 2012 at all costs. I’d rather put a new transmission in this girl than get anything run by computers.
