2023 hybird camry LE for 25 grand. Should I do it?
>>27607379google says the corolla has 169hp. i dont know if it believe that.hybrid has 96hp
>>27608561Isn't that covered under warranty for at least 10-15 years if you have the car serviced at the dealer?And I think you can fit third party batteries into old Priuses at least.
>>27607723This. The new one has a hybrid engine that gets about 230hp, which isn't too shabby considering it also gets like 50mpg
>>27608561>Then have fun paying the expensive repair bill. The battery is not cheap, plus the "special" labor hour is ridiculously expensive. :^) What the fuck are you talking about? I own an older RX (basically a Camry made cuckover made hatchback), and it's not that special even with it's electric shaftless AWD.There's a separate cooling circuit (same coolant as for the engine) which doesn't require a lot of attention because the only thing it cools is the electronics, and the fluid for the transaxle is ATF-WS (costs the same). e-CVT transaxle is more robust than the automatic one, everything else is the same, and there's probably even less strain on the engine.The only care the the battery requires is checking if the fucking vents are not covered because overheating is the only way to kill it prematurely.

>>27608851ioniq 6 does 10%-80% in 16 minutes if you have a decent charger vs 27 minutes on tesla m3 lr
>>27608911that seems kinda slow? all of my cars recharge from 0-100% in about 2 or 3 minutes..
>>27609165CATL just came out with a new battery that has 1000km range (600 miles) and can recharge 400 of those miles in 10 minutesgive it a couple years and it'll be on par with refueling a gas car
>>27609231ok just two more weeks, gotcha
>>27608911140kwh means half an hour210kwh is 20 minutes280 is 15 minutes350 is 10 minutesBut as a rule of thumb: Charge rate cold at 40% is a better gauge
For $6800 USD, you can buy a brand new 4 wheel drive Suzuki Carry with locking differential and a manual transmission. Do you really need anything more?
>>27609263And when there are 2 people sitting in it?
>>27608562They don't have the off road capability of a UTV and they're borderline unusable on the street. I don't really get the point of them.
>>27609286It's actually probably more than 80% because the engine is fully below the bed too.2 people my size would be adding 400 lbs to a 1500lbs vehicle.They are far less tippy than any side x side. Trust me bro we have tons of them in my country from all brands and side by sides are relatively common on the highway as well.The vans have a problem with high winds because they are basically sails but the trucks are 100% like golf carts.
Let me guess, you need more?
What would it take for you to buy an EV?
>>27607221>can maintain 80+ mph for at least 300 milesCan EVs with over 300mi of range not do this? I've been thinking about an EV, but is the max range not applicable to highway driving or something?
It has to be this exact car but street legal and 400 mile range on road tires, while carrying a replacement swap-in batteryby the time we get to that point we'll probably have perfectly safe mini reactors powering everything anyway
>>27607221>>27608089Your 90s Honda isn't doing 300+ miles at 80mph either
>>27607810that's true...
>>27590945>lightweight>being able to handle heat and cold environments>waterproof, so I don't have to worry about leaving it outside while it's raining>takes less than 10 minutes to fully fill up the tank instead of 5 hours>not complicated as fuck to fix something>good build quality>high range and ability to drive long distances>functioning dashboard where I can see what's going on instead of Aliexpress tier iPadEVs are none of that and you'll never be a real woman, OP
celica alltrac or eclipse GSX?
>>27609262Implies that it's probably FWD or FWD based/derivedNothing legitimately wrong just a purist, /o/ is like /mu/ or /v/ where your opinions are worthless and automatically wrong if it's different from the OPs
>>27609268thanks anon, thought it was much worse judging from the reaction but yeah shouldve expected
>>27609262Harder to work on belt driven accessories or anything else on the front of the engine as they're now sandwiched between it and the frame rail. Terrible weight distribution because every single one has the engine 90+ percent in front of the front axle, lol you think subarus and audis are bad about that? Try every car with a transversely mounted engine ever and especially V6 ones. Manual transmission shifter feel will never be as good because you can't mount the shifter directly to the transmission, you have to use a cable or linkage. And most importantly, transverse engine means FWD (or dogshit AWD that never works as well as proper longitudinal systems.) No fucking thanks.
>>27609280Hondas are comically easy to work on while being FWD with the best shifter feel out of any car only rivalled by Miatas, and Subarus are longitudinal and also have excellent shifters.Turbo V6s are often longitudinal with ridiculous packaging, turbo replacements on most of them are engine out jobs. B5 S4, Z32TT are old cars that come to mind
>>27609280Transverse engines are cool.

>>27609217Extremely comfy bro
What are the fucking pros and cons of truck-based SUV's and pickup trucks?
>>27609152that would be very cool if i was 5'5
>>27609247Still. Short of an actual bus it's as good as it gets and still beats the second row of some vehicles. If you switch places at every piss stop you can still have a super comfy journey.
>>27609132>often less abused than a truckThis is a highly overlooked pro. Anyone starting a business from scratch that thinks they need a truck for tools should at least consider a full size SUV. They carry marginally less than a truck with a top, aren't as raped a used van and don't have that trugggg tax
>>27609267>previous owner was mexican/momYeah I love factory fluids and 25k oil changes
>>27609261>still beats the second row of some vehiclesThis I can agree with, but>If you switch places at every piss stop you can still have a super comfy journey.that's not what "comfy" means
I work in a hospital, nearly half of the high earning workers (doctors, PAs, RNs, etc) drive a tesla. They're not even the expensive model S, but cheaper 40k model 3s and Ys. What's the fucking appeal. Is it considered a rich person brand? They can literally buy much nicer actual luxury cars. Here in SoCal all the upper middle class whites and Asians are obsessed with teslas
>>27606303Maybe gas cars are getting their tanks milked and cats borrowed. Is third world Commiefornia.
>>27607392rich areas live rent free in flyover heads
>>27606303>medical staffLow IQ, high income, big ego. Tesla.
>>27606303They get to charge for free at their corporate jobs. Literally the only reason I ever saw people drive one.
>>27606303>Why do rich people love TeslasStatus symbol and delusion of being saviors of planet. Not even joking.People who respect their own time, themselves, and their money buy ICE cars or hybrids. Teslas are basically iPhones in form of car- fancy at first but once you dig deeper, you realize it's not worth it.
How to find one of these for cheap without getting a rust bucket or being scammed?
>>27605125No, retard. They're $60,000 minimum starting price today, probably $25,000-30,000 for an unrestored rust bucket basket case. So few exist that it's unlikely you'd ever find an unrestored example and those that do exist... Yeah, the owners absolutely know what they got and they will charge market value. Original MRSP was something like ~$3,900 USD which adjusted for inflation is about ~$30,500 today. No, that doesn't mean you can walk up to a boomer and go "See, this is what I should be allowed to buy it for". Supply and demand, etc.
>>27604598>how do i fall for a scam without getting scammed? go to a museum or something, leave the money pits to the morons with stockholm syndrome
>>27606543go back to shitting up ccg
>>27606872fuck off, no one wants him there either
>>27604598LolLmao evenYou aren't going to find one for cheap if you're looking for a W30
I know Toyota is number 1 when it comes to reliability for their Camrys, but does that change when go to other types of vehicles?Is there anyone more reliable for SUVs than Toyota? What about Trucks? Muscle Cars?
>>27609122Toyota makes muscle cars?
>>27609155>V8>pigfat>fugly>can't turnYep, meets all the requirements.
>>27609196That's a really wide net you are casting there, but I see that you are just being facetious. Good jest, fren.
>>27609122>I know Toyota is number 1 when it comes to reliabilit-ACK
>>27609264I guess I'm coming from the used car perspective where the 2000s and 1990s Camrys and Avalons were bar-none the best (in terms of long-lasting reliability) you could get.J.D. Power's 2023 Initial Quality Study, as seen in the chart you posted, focuses on problems that new car owners report within the first 90 days of ownership. This measure can be quite different from long-term reliability.
What /o/ color do you like the most?What's the color of your-daily driver?
>>27609079dark green
>>27609079Light gray or white because of the Texas heat. I prefer Toyota golden-beige.
>>27609079dark purple
Copper metallic or any burgundy or maroon color My car is black
i'd love to have matte black car with high gloss hot pink accents<< my daily
I haven't checked or fill oil for a year. I decided to look at it because the engine seems a bit noisy.I can't see the level. I used to see the point where the oil level is at. But when I check it's just oil color without delimitation. I waited 15 min for the engine to rest and clean the stick and it just return thin oil color. Am I running low on oil?
>>27609076The pic is wrong>I haven't checked or fill oil for a year.What does the manual say? Once a week or once a month?>I waited 15 min for the engine to rest and clean the stick and it just return thin oil color.Pull, clean, put back and immediately pull it again, then post pic
>>27609104I can't do it rigt now but picrel is what it looked like right after I turned off the engine. When I let it rest a dozen of minutes it basically looked the same but was much thinner
>>27609112I'd say it either was overfilled or something else got into the oil system. The latter is possible on some cars with cam-driven hydraulic pumps for example.
Either way, if it's been a year since the last oil change, go do the maintenance and make sure you do it properly.
I just checked rn on a cold engine. On the left is when it's dry and wiped, on the right is what I get after dipping it in

What a great car and a shame that a clean one is getting more rare/expensive.
>>27599557How does Nissan make some bangers like this and shit the bed with their economy cars?
>>27608466No, it's because every car company in the world has R&D facilities in either California or Michigan. Especially the Japanese car companies.
>>27599571You know GM doesn’t sell the Camaro in most countries so third party companies import them at a premium? Do you see large numbers of Camaros sold in Japan, Australia, Europe? No. Why would I buy a Camaro if I could have a manual 911 GTS for less? Only drug dealers and cashed up bogans buy Camaros here.
>>27608722It seems like they don’t even try with their FWD models. Nestling everything RWD or proper AWD Nissan makes is a brick shithouse that has top tier reliability, frontier/titan, G/Z/now Q cars(kinda. Loses points for turbos), GTR, ect.
>>27599557>a shame that a clean one is getting more rareHow can you say "they're becoming rare" when you can go to your local Nissan dealer and order a brand new one today? They're still making them (albeit with a slightly different appearance).Unless you actually prefer the 370z more than the "new" Z, but the improvements to the engine should far outweigh any aesthetic preference for the 370z. It's not like either version is a very good looking car, anyway ... so considering that they're basically identical cars, except one has a better engine, I don't know why anyone would say "it's a shame" that the older model with the worse engine are getting harder to find.tl;dr: If you want a 370z, buy a Z.
Seriously, why are they so popular in EU and the US? In my country no one drives them. I barely even see them.
>>27605979kek good one
>>27606779Lol
>>27598166It's simple. Makes sense for Europeans because they don't drive to the extent that Americans do. Americans buy them because they're stupid and think celebrity opinions are informed. Canadians are like the retarded little brother copying Americans
>>27608699On the contrary, the more you drive the more sense an EV makes. Since a short-range BEV, PHEV with a range-extender, or longer-range BEV will all substantially reduce your dependence on gasoline.Plus the more you drive, the more likely you are to own a home and have a place to charge a vehicle.
>>27598166Because of government shilling and because retards buy them, thinking that they are saving planet. >>27603364Even if Russians were rich, EVs wouldn't fit in because of how complicated they are to work on, because of how impractical they are overall, and because of weather and environment. Your average Eastern European winter and autumn weathers aren't joking matter and your EVs would get bricked or wouldn't even start because they can't handle strong moisture and cold. Not to mention living in rural side where you have to entirely rely on cars and having electricity overall can be luxury.
