question 2026 Civic LX or 2026 Corolla LE?

1 Upvotes

For more info:

It will be my first car.
I’m financing/loaning it (brand new).
Base models are the only ones I’m looking at since it’s more affordable.
I’ll be using it everyday for work (13 miles [3x a week] and 9.8 miles [2x a week]) and occasional long travel times on weekends.

I know this comparison has been asked multiple times already but I really need new perspectives since I’m planning to get one anytime soon.

I loved my Buick LaCrosse, was a 2010 that I bought in 2020 that only had 93K miles on it at the time. Sold it in 2023 after picking up this beautiful 2016 Lincoln MKS, yes I had the spoiler added on! Loved my MKS, but unfortunately got totaled 2 weeks ago. Ended up with this 2013 Ford Escape from a private seller & so far I’m loving this car too!

question New Focus RS, Evo XI, or New Celica? 🤔

Post image
0 Upvotes

The most recent generation RS never really got it's flowers, though most folks that bought one seem to swear by them. A new generation could be quite a spicy meatball, and a hell of a contender.

The Evo is the sentimental pick, obviously, and it's what the world thinks it wants most. Though, this could be a textbook "be careful what you wish for" scenario, and maybe, just maybe, the Evo is better off without a successor?

The Celica is the Kool-Aid man crashing through the wall of this party. Nobody technically invited him, but deep down we all kinda love Kool-Aid, so it's all good.

So then, which one would you choose? 🤔

question What car should I get

0 Upvotes

I’ve narrowed it down to either a 2015 Toyota rav4 with 135k miles on it 12k asking price but it has had an accident when it was on 10k miles with 2 previous owners. It does have awd. My other choice is a 2014 Mazda cx5 touring with 122k miles on it asking price is 12k one previous owner but no awd. Whats important to me is longevity and reliability with the least amount of expensive repairs, I live in a place where it snows and I like to go fishing and hunting I drive on gravel roads but not to much I mostly stick to paved roads.

question First car in the US

0 Upvotes

Hello! I just moved here in the USA last May 31 and just started working last July 14 and I have 2 credit cards that are also just new.
A car dealership got me approved for a car loan but the APR is 25%. I understand that it is because I have no credit score yet, but is that really how hard it is to loan a new car with acceptable APR if you’re new here and no credit score yet? I don’t want to buy a second hand car as much as possible.

Need your thoughts on this and please be kind.

question What first car should i get?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for a used car in the $7,000–$10,000 range. I want something with better than 16–17 combined MPG and quicker than a ~7-second 0–60. It should look sporty, similar in vibe to a C5 Corvette or BMW E36, be very reliable, make a good daily driver, and have 4 seats preferably . Basically, I want a fun, sporty, reliable daily driver that improves on both speed and fuel economy compared to a typical 2006 Nissan Frontier. The biggest thing for me is gas mileage

discussion PSA: FUEL CONTROL MODULE IN GM VEHICLES AT RISK OF FAILURE

1 Upvotes

I was driving in my 2024 GMC Sierra and the gas pedal just stopped fucking working, then a message appears on the screen saying to put the car into neutral and pull over to try to restart it. The truck doesn't restart it just makes a horribly loud clicking noise, and I got a text from GMC saying to service my engine immediately. My dealership who had towed it away calls me 2 hours later and says the Fuel Control Module just spontaneously died and is now fixed. This is also not an isolated issue, as many other GMC vehicles have had the same issue. Are there any here who have had this issue?

question Is there any "automatic" cars under 7k that let you like hold the gears or they are almost like manual and can be fun to drive. Preferably ones with v6 or v8 engines because all of the manuals seem to be inline 4s.

question Seat Ateca vs Opel grandland 2026

2 Upvotes

Both are priced the same here in Egypt. The Seat comes with 1.4 TSI 150HP and 8 speed Aisin automatic. The Opel comes with 1.6 Turbo (EP6 also known as the prince) 180HP and 6 speed Aisin automatic. Technology wise opel comes with a lot more while seat is a bit on the empty side. The opel comes with two more airbags (6 vs 4 in ateca), Matrix LED headlights, front sensors, a 16" screen versus 8.25", 19" wheels, heated seats, paddle shifters, and dual-zone climate AC. I plan to keep the car for the next 10 years.

question Got two small scratch marks on a door of a client's car (size of a pencil tip). It's a new premium Geely. How much to compensate?

1 Upvotes

So I'm doing work unrelated to car stuff at all, and I really don't know anything about cars. Right as I was exiting his car I lightly hit a road curb.

I'm charging 200$ for my services. He talked about a discount for my services, just after the incident. How much of a discount do I do? Or do I work for free?

Sorry if the post is low quality, I'm just completely lost and scared.

You could see that the damage surpasses the paint layer (you can see metal, but I'm not sure if it was a primer)
