I drive: KIA EV6.
What I wish for? A better KIA EV6. I love my EV6, it’s a marvellous car,much more fun than the Audis, BMWs, etc. I drove before. But yet there is room for improvents.
Fuel, electric
I’ll also take autonomous. No, a horse with umbrella doesn’t count!!
Have: 2000 Toyota Echo Want: pretty much any used PHEV or electric
The echo is simple, cheap and robust. But I’d love to stop burning gas for inner city travel.
a) 2012 Honda CR-V <p> b) 2012 Honda CR-V
Living the dream - seriously. Cheap, comfy, reliable car that is fairly good on gas. Has bluetooth for music but doesn’t spy on me. Very convenient, secure antitheft system involving a metal key.
I wish I could drive a car that I could afford. The pricing of vehicles moved to the class above me. I used to be part of the driving class but have been priced out of the game.
2016 Camry. Love it, zero complaints. Car I wish I had? Slightly newer model as they look super nice but holding out to see how that generation fares with reliability. Otherwise I’ll drive this one til the wheels fall off.
I wish I didn’t need to drive
I just moved out of a city with amazing cycling infrastructure to the suburbs of a larger city… this city has okay transit but their cycling infrastructure is basically telling drivers to please not hit cyclists on the shared roads. At least until you get downtown you’ll be meandering through neighbourhoods because they don’t want to take away peoples parking spots on the main roads.
What I drive: None
What I want to drive: a Car-free walkable city
people don’t realise how much better the world would be if we had no cars in cities. You think you do, but you don’t.
I drive a car with an internal combustion engine.
I’d prefer to drive a plug-in hybrid, so I could produce slightly less greenhouse gas.
But I’d really prefer a walkable neighbourhood with reliable rapid transit. Maybe car sharing for trips.
Lots of complexity in a hybrid, and gas does eventually go bad if you don’t use it. Though when I used to have a motorcycle it always ran after the winter in the garage so idk how long that actually takes to happen…
iirc, the bigger problem is that the gas separates out a water layer that can rust your gas tank, allowing rust flakes to clog your carb.
Apparently Mitsubishis (and others, I assume) are smart enough to use the gas before it goes bad. 🤷♂️
Have: a stage 2 '05 Impreza WRX STi in moderately good repair.
Want: a stage 2 '05 Impreza WRX STi in good repair with an ethanol sensor and new tune to enable selectively running E85.
I have a rusty bugeye wrx wagon :)
Can’t believe they killed the STI … Granted we have the GR corolla, but it’s just not the same without the boxer :(
I wanted a WRX hatch back, but not like this … not like this.
Volvo XC90 T8. I don’t want any other car; It’s great under scandinavian winter conditions, my entire family fits, and it’s genuinely a nice car without being too flashy.
Volvo gang
My previous car was also a Volvo. A 940 tank from 1995.
Looove the older boxy models. I dream about the day I find a clean lightning blue 850R wagon for sale
So boxy.
Toyota RAV4, and maybe a slightly nicer Toyota. Because I’ve been a Toyota stan since high school. Those dudes know how to make a fine machine.
My parents have 2 different model RAV4s (cuz you need a car to do anything around here)
It’s funny how I always see them on the road and be like “OMG do they have the same car as we have? Why did it suddently get popular? Are they just copying our choices?” lmfao
I drive a Golf 4 with a check engine light and I wish I drove one without a check engine light
Tomorrow it’s going to the electrician and it would better come back fixed!!!
The check engine light is complimentary with any VW product 🤣 I love how nice the damn things are but never met one who’s dashboard didn’t look like a Christmas tree.
My golf before it finally became too much to keep up.
The brake, brake wear, blown light, and tps weren’t real, they were all bad sensors. The windshield washer fluid was low, and it had emissions issues though.
TBF, most cars do that now a days. Car brands don’t make their own ABS systems, they buy them from manufacturers like Bosh and Denso; and they all work on the “CAMBUS” standard, meaning that all sensors talk to each other over a network. Normally these systems light up an individual diagnostics light to let you know if there’s a problem detected (low brake pad / fluid indicator, parking brake, ABS light) so to differentiate when there’s a system error such as a sensor that can’t communicate it lights them all up at the same time to let you know.
For example my 06 G35 did that for a stupid brake sensor, cost me endless hours of troubleshooting to pinpoint.
I HAVE
My brother has one that squeaks and squeals from all its hinges, and often goes to the country side on crappy roads, but it has no damn check engine light
Mine is a city baby and has one, dammit
Look at you, bragging about your working check engine light
You can disconnect the battery for a few seconds to reset that light and enjoy a clear dashboard until the issue triggers a sensor again 😜
Well for me that would be just a few hours later
Also I have a code reader but yea that works too haha
Yoooo … Finally a thread about cars …
I drive a Manual 2019 Mustang GT convertible I bought of the auction and rebuilt in my apartment … It was tough to find a car in the height of Covid and I had very little wiggle room since I ended up putting a piston thru the block in my 2016 Genesis Coupe …
And this is the Genny I killed, she had over 120 miles and I was very lazy with maintenance … not that their build quality is the best to begin with
