Any poorly maintained car will suck. Even Civics and Corollas.
01+ 4.0s are the ones to watch out for.
Exactly. Come on, man.
The 4.0 is legendary for it's durability. I've had a number of them through the years and have known many other than have with zero issues.
Dude, people treat me like I have 2 heads when I say that shit around here.
Cheers, bro.
The first new(ish) car I bought was my MKV. I went to dealers and required no sunroof. They all thought I was mad. Took me months to find a car that didn't have a sunroof, and it was glorious. Every car I buy new(ish), I buy without a sunroof. But most of my old cars it couldn't be helped. My e30 had a manual sunroof that took up next to no space. I didn't mind that one. The 944's sunroof came out completely, which was kinda cool.
Fuck sunroofs, waste of space and money. We have one on the mazda because it was impossible to get any other options without a sunroof. It was opened one time on the test drive to make sure it works and then never opened again - and that's with a young woman driving, not me. She doesn't even open the shade for it, leaves it closed all year round.
My wife required a sunroof when we replaced the JK. The Saab has a GIGANTIC sunroof. It's actually kind of nice when the shade is open, it lets in a ridiculous about of light. The shade has been closed for 10 of the 11 months we've owned it. It's either "too cold" or "too hot" of "DON'T OPEN THAT....I can't mess up my hair". WTF is the point? The car might as well not have it for how much it's used. I think sunroofs are one of the most desired and least used features in all cars. Yet everyone that contacts me about my ATS lease asks for a sunroof, and is disappointed when it doesn't have one. DAFUQ people?
:word:
That's one downside to the celica gts, can't get it without a stupid sunroof - and the extra half inch of headroom would really help in that car. My damn head was half an inch from hitting the ceiling in the gts.
I really like how the Lotus Elise and Evora just use standard aftermarket single and double-DIN head units right from the factory. That's a brilliant move IMO since that shit goes obsolete by the time the cars ever hit dealer lots anyway. Making it stupid simple for owners to upgrade to current units is awesome (and it's stupid simple to make a running production change to newer stuff).
One day we'll reach a point where the HUs in cars are just dummy controllers for our phones. Then they'll be useful and I'll be interested. Until then, car tech will be outdated the day it goes on sale. Development periods are too long and technology advances way too quickly for cool car stuff to come out. Android Auto = done for me.
Unless you do an LS swap or something, rotarys can't be ZFG, breh.
