Audi A7 Diesel as I drive a lot for work.
Toyota Venza limited edition for wife/kid and towing an enclosed trailer/projects, etc.

First mod always is tint for that incognito mode.

Very happy with both.

Whoa. Do tell more re: the genesis issues. Interested to hear how Hyundai holds up

'09 128i. Makes a nice daily with the sport and premium packages. Kinda wish I got a 135 instead for the extra jam, but not for the N54 garbage. Maybe upgrade it to a N55 135 if I get bored one day.

Ps for a car enthusiast forum, there are like 3 interesting.
enthusiast cars in this thread XD

16 audi s3 (gone in a year) While very fun, i drive way to much.

Creaking noise front passenger side: Known issue on Genesis forums, hit and miss on warranty work from others but I got mine covered. They had to re-weld A pillar pinch welds.

Rattle on manual shifter. Shift lever bracket and bushing worn. Replaced shifter assembly brackets and pins. Warranty repair.

Clunking noise from driver front wheel area: They said left front stability link loose. They fixed/ replaced but still heard noise afterwards. Fixed under warranty. Now say it requires bearing ount and strut. Didn't have parts when I went in on Friday so need to come back for that to be fixed.

Rear right speaker was blown, replaced under warranty.

Few minor recall fixes.

Dealership and the service guy I've been dealing with have been great with my issues and it's great I have not spent a dime on repairs but sucks that a car with still less than 33,000km on it is having theses problems.

Mechanically it has been good so far.

My 11yr old Santa Fe with 160k on it has held up very well in comparison with just general wear and tear repairs.

LOL can I just say - for the N55 lovers - that there is a TSB out there rn due to extreme cold weather. Numerous N55s have found to be seized and damaged from attempted starts in the cold weather XDDDDDDDDD
The TSB was put up just today at 9:30AM.

Lots of engine failures have been going in. BAHAHA

2008 E92 M3 6MT

Hers:
2011 328i

I'm thinking about replacing the M3, but like hyper, what's next?! Also this thing isn't worth much at this point so is anything going to pose this much fun / dollar? Hator, if using the GT3 as a 2 person car anyway, why are you missing the rear seat, or is it because you can't use it as a 3 seater? We never use my M3 as a family car so I've been thinking about going to drive a GT3.

What happened to the 4Runner?!

Thank you for sharing. It's always interesting to hear about Hyundai. They are solid cars with a good rep, and for the money, arguably extremely difficult to beat. So it's cool to have the insight into some of the things that can occur in these cars. A bad pinch weld tho? wow.

GF had a 2011 Sonata with 120k. Literally no issues until it was rear ended at 85km/h and was written off

Even if it had back seats would your wife fit in the passenger seat if kid's back there? My wife is 5'3" and is cramped in the E92 M3, but isn't in the E90 as backseat is much larger.

lol rekt. wow just from 1 day of -37c? c'mooooonnnn....VAS IZ DAS ZGERAN ENGINEERINGZ? tho it can happen to plenty of cars yeah.

but are you sure the tsb isn't just for starter freezing up causing no-start condition? (Then it eventually thaws, you start it up...maybe get replaced at the dealer). Not for actual motor poppin?

For those with the M3's when you're thinking about selling let me know.

motor is borked. i got pics of borked motor and the tsb.
bmw doesn't yet know what to do re: replacing the engines for out of warranty cars. this is very newly discovered so here we are.

re: n55 being a 2011 motor - that is true. I don't think there have been so many consecutive -3x windchill days between then and now. they are seeing lots of motors come in. phoenixrage works at bmw - he probably knows more.

Windchill doesn't affects inanimate objects.. So those -18 degree days with the windchill to -40 really doesn't mean shit.

Wow BMW never stops letting me down. Why is it that almost all of their motors have a major issue. The plastic timing guides let go on my 540, Rod bearing issues on both e46 and e9x M3s, HPFP issues with N54/N55? I haven't even followed to see what their newer models are plagued with but they should have at least kept an inline 6 in their line up without a turbo...Can't wait to see the new Supra guys bitch about "Toyota reliability' once the next gremlin is uncovered.

/BMW rant

BMW's feel the cold

Tell me more about this. I've had one of these on a vague shortlist of next DD cars for myself.

Super fun car, very quick. Its the same size as a civic but with 295hp w/"Quattro". Mine isn't modded, except for the resonator delete + tint. I drive in manual/paddle shift mode about 90% of the time, except for if i'm stuck in traffic or eating.

My audi year 2016 and came with 6 gears. I believe everything 2017+ have 7 gears.
I drive a lot back country, lots of HWY driving. At 130/140kms i'm revving at 3000rpm, it's brutal (for my year).

I have the adaptable ride shocks (whatever that option is called), so i can make the car stiffer or more cushy.

Very fun car, i absolutely love driving it, however it's time for something a bit bigger (eying S5 sportback or RS5 sportback).

My cars are leased as I own multiple business and i need the write off.

Let me know if you have questions?

You're absolutely right about the transmission. MY17 was when they started to introduce a 7th gear for most of their DSG equiped cars. I've been looking around to see what kind of mileage people are reporting back. Wife has a 17 Golf R with the 6 speed, while the MY18's got the extra gear. HUUUUUUGE difference - most seem to average about 11ish L/ 100 km with the 6 speed, while the 7 gear tranny seems to average around 8L/100km.

With that said, I think the DSG is what I love most about the S3... in sport mode while you're slowing down, the car is so quick to drop a gear and shoot the revs up to 4k. It's so.... encouraging LOL

but...but...but, muh baadddgggeee.

granted...this fucking 1.5T honda motor, reliable but fuck me with the "other" issues right now lol

not to mention honda still sucks for heating up the cabin, jfc.

What’s with all the fuel dilution on the 1.5T and Honda’s shitty fix for it is to try and warm the engine up faster by dumping more fuel?

^why you no buy the. Lol

BMW's feel the cold

Mine's in Oregon. You in for a road trip? The roads there are awesome, btw, take your time leaving town.

I have no idea. Though cold seize is a typical thing for something like a snowmobile - where the piston expands faster than the rest of the engine due to a combination of unlike materials or different thermodynamics and tight tolerances. Not sure if this is the problem for N55 - specifically because the TSB calls out the crankshaft.

no comment and I dunno lol

What’s with the transmission in the new RDX. Another turd? LOL

I don’t understand why this has all of a sudden become a thing since the motor has been out since 2011.

that 240 is still the best car on this board tho.
minty stock. beautifullllllllllll.

no kouki no care

F150 Limited (traded from Macan GTS)
Range Rover Full Size Diesel

Love my Ford, except fuel mileage sucks at 15L/100KM whereas RR gets 9 ish

It’s better than the current Honda stuff lol

this is true

i see s2k owners are smokin' da gud sheet now too re. asking prices LOL

$30k...riiiiiiight

a stock, low mileage ap1?
It's not that far off.

Ive had zero issues with my RDX. Brakes can be a tad loud when damp/cold but otherwise its been really solid. Im hoping the powertrain makes it into the next TLX.

The C43 Wagon is looking mighty attractive.

seriously eyeing that one up right now

I’m hate these CUV’s. I’m dying a little bit every time I drive the X3. The C43 Wagon is looking mighty attractive. But shit MB are for geriatrics.

RS6 would be sweet.

2017 elantra with peeling paint babyyyyyy

'07 E90 328i - It has low mileage for it's year (140k) and has been good to me. It has enough power for my needs and I didn't want to get wrapped up in the 335 headaches. It has a bunch of packages that make it more than adequate and desirable for me. I used to daily it but don't drive it all that much anymore.

'12 Odyssey EX-L - Pretty much what you would expect. Its a been reliable, spacious and all around great family hauler.

Edit: The Odyssey is RIDICULOUS when it comes to gas mileage, not sure if others experience the same pain. It averages 15 L which is mostly based on city driving.

2008 BMW M3 - Had it for about 10 yrs
2012 Mercedes ML350 - Had it for about 5 yrs
2006 Lotus Exige - Had for about 3 yrs with SC K24A swap and many other other mods currently building new engine and transmission with aftermarket parts and upgrading the SC.

Wife has a Mercedes appliance.

It's got 325whp now and I use all of it, but it's a 1 pull wonder until charge temps recover. 245mm Re71rs allow for a lot of power to go down. It's stupid fun on so many levels. The new blower is a mercracing TVS1900 kit. NA doesn't suit the car, the S260 owners who have driven my car say mine feels more right in every way as intensity it turned to 15. I'll track it once in a while.

If you see an interesting car around Portland let me know.

It doesn't need more power but it's getting it to make it more reliable (colder charge air, better IC, less parasitic loss, built motor), and I'm taking my feeling of the built tranny and ordered new gearset and FD ratio to tailor it to my style and roads. Should come in around 2000 lb and 500whp.

335d is off the road, gotta take the head off and see what's going on. It was really starting to drink coolant and I had zero trust in it anymore. New steed.

'18 540i. Gotta say the B58 and ZF8 makes for a REALLY nice combo. Might jump into a 540D when they're a bit more reasonable in a year or two (Maybe they never will be? lol)

Not yet but in the plans...

1) Wife to return the Volvo XC90, and pick up a Tesla Y ...
- Some things feel so cheap: leather seats are 'flat' (not perforated), don't think it has cooling, seat rails on the floor just look/feel like an afterthought, the 3 has perforated leather, and LED door trim
- I think the X would be better buy for size, but cost is pretty prohibitive ...
- Wife wants to wait for the refresh; wants the white leather

2) Trade in TLX for Tesla 3?
- Really don't want car payments ...

To be determined........

Two microwaves, must be a riot at parties.

1 EV makes sense, 2, hell no.

XC90 is nice so is the RDX, unless you really put on mileage going to a 3/Y is a downgrade.
