but.... I dunno, if I'm buying a cheap car I don't care all that much about what it's like to drive
I just want it to be reliable
It's why I like focuses, they're reliable
and cheap
I wish the fiestas had more timing chain engine options
Yeah, about that EcoBoost engine lol
Pretty much all of them are at risk for head warpage prior to 50k miles
The cylinders have a "water cooled jacket", so they're only attached to the rest of the head at the bottom end
New Focuses aren't too reliable
The automatics at least
I wouldn't buy an ecoboost
Didn't they fix the warping issue after the first few years?
I don't like the idea of less than 4 cylinders in a car
I know the next gen 3.5 has a different head design
@LordCaledus It's an inherent flaw in the construction of the head. They'd have to drop the whole concept of a water jacket
isn't the sr20 a water jacket engine?
Strange. I know the 1.0T is unreliable
But I've heard nothing but good stuff about the post-2015 3.5, 2.3, and 2.0
I meant the block my bad haha
Yeah I can see that being an issue in a boosted motor
Unless you make the cylinders out of like Titanium or some shit
I'unno, they must have changed something
Wot is rain? you bogans!
I've heard that a lot of hospitals have some pretty dark terms for motorcyclists in the rain; rolling donations and such
which reminds me I really need to get my back tyre switched off my old wheel
Buy one of these instead
that would be very useless to me
it does look surprisingly well made/sturdy though
I'd use it as an overlanding rig for real. Now to find where I can get one stateside...
Or I could just graft a mini-truck frame onto a motorcycle.
Eh. Just build one.
Slap a 2.0TDI in it
That's..... a bit much between the legs.
Put it behind you then
Or under the seat
Idk
No
I mean.
stop
