What is a good reliable car?
    #9215925 - 11/10/08 01:34 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I want to find a car that looks good with rims, and would be easy to put a system in. Dont take me wrong, I dont want a Rice-mobile... I just like to do mods that make it look nice. Such as rims, HID headlights, stuff like that...I just need it to be easy to put a system in too, By that i mean, i dont want a mercury sable/taurus, because you have to get a custom kit to make it work. I used to love honda civics but they really arent that reliable. I know you're thinking whaaat a civic?! not reliable?! but yeah, they arent. I have had 2 rod bearings go bad on 2 different motors. I really need to find something reliable. I like grand am's/prix's, VW's, Audi's, I really just need to find something with some style and stay under 4k. It also needs to be reliable!!!!!!!!! That is my main concern.

can't go wrong with a hummer imho.

I think hummers are cool looking and you can mount weapons and stuff to them.

Get one of those surplus 1960s hummers, from the Vietnam war. You can get one for 4000 or less. They have hawt metal box seats.

Or get one of those Dodge Chargers or a GTO from the late sixties, under $4000 and great to work on.

hummers use more gas so it will contribute to the economy

if you want to help out with the situation you should get a hummer

It probably has a lot to do with past maintenance as with any car. I haven't heard much about automatic honda transmissions except that the newer ones are having some recalls. My buddy has a 91 civic that runs strong at 200,000 km. But my 97 olds also runs strong at 260,000 lol.

I know of a few of grand am's with electrical problems. Go for a GTP grand prix haha, I don't know if they are under $4000 though.

Sentra
Maxima
Altima

Are all good options, but then again i think civics are good cars too.  I had an 02 civic, drove the hell out of it and it never gave me trouble.

Maybe an older carolla?  We reached almost 300K on our Camery before we sold it, but that wont look good with rims.

Old Lexus perhaps, those 2.2L I4s by toyota are beasts, I've seen a few of them with over 200K.  But i dont know if they put any of those in a lexus.

Mistubishis are nice, they give out a 10 year drive-train warranty nowadays, so they must be pretty reliable. How much you selling that baby for? I could use one of them minus the rims and hood.

I really dig the way the 96-03 Galants look, and they can be found for cheap.  I know this because I was very close to buying one when I got my Honda.

With that said, they don’t hold their value at all.  I’m not sure why, and I haven’t heard anything about their sustainability good or bad.  I’d probably get one over a grand am, just because it’s a sexy car.

im going to try and sell my civic for 5-5500 with the rims.  Its a real carbon fiber hood with the vents.  and 2 sets of rims come with teh car,  so im guessing 5k is reasonable?

i just want to get rid of it, because its turning into a money pit

I'll second Toyota's being great cars. For some reason Lexus seem to have a lot of problems and the repairs are expensive as shit. Keep that in mind with any luxury car lines (Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, BMW, Audi, etc.)

My Toyota Camry is still going strong and it's at about 140,000 miles. Only major repair was I had to replace the front struts. But the year my model was made had the shittiest suspension of all Camrys. And I drive in New Jersey, aka land of potholes.

I've got almost around 130k miles on my 2000 chevy cavalier.  In this time it has only had regular maintenance, which is key to this reliability that you crave.  I learned most of my car taking care of from my father in law, who just now replaced his '92 for ranger, which was also original motor and transmission, the top end of the motor was rebuild, but only after he rolled it passed 300k miles. 

Also, parts are very cheap for the cavalier, since it is so widely available, and I have seen some nice looking ones as well.  My wife drives a sunfire, 2004, which is also a very nice car (really the same as my cav, just pontiac) and has better lines, its more sharp and sporty IMO.  It did have soem trouble with the transmission a few months back, the slave cylinder went out on it, but it has about 55k miles, so, other than regular maintenance,  it has had one real problem, that cost me about $700 to be fixed, for the $200 part, but it was INSIDE the transmission, so it had to be dropped.

Anyways, i would recommend a cavalier, you can find a good used one in your price range, and they are very easy to work on.  I put better speakers in it as well and it was no more difficult than any other stereo i have installed.

peace

my opinion is stop tricking out little ricers, maintain the car
properly and keep your foot out of the fuel, I see late 90's
hondas with 200,000+ miles around here still running strong
because the owners didnt spend $800 on carbon fiber hoods and
$2500 on wheels and tires that threw off the suspension geometry

for some reason when people put that silly shift knob in and
those stupid racing pedals the suddenly think they're 2 fast
and 2 furious and dog the shit out of the car, I wonder why
the rod is knocking, it's certainly not because it's a honda

A good friend of mine has owned a honda civic for about 7 years.  I have gone through 3 American made cars and one volks just in the past 5 years.  The volks was in an accident.  The American cars needed expensive repairs that were more than what they were worth.  Pris is correct, if you're not a jackass that likes to race from stoplight to stoplight a civic will last almost indefinitely.  My friend gets in the low 30s mpg on the highway.  The japanese are o.c.d. about efficiency and tweaking designs.  You can just tell that American cars are just designed sloppy.  Sad but true.  Don't buy a Grand Prix, the trannys suck.

I used to love honda civics but they really arent that reliable. I know you're thinking whaaat a civic?! not reliable?! but yeah, they arent. I have had 2 rod bearings go bad on 2 different motors. I really need to find something reliable. I like grand am's/prix's, VW's, Audi's, I really just need to find something with some style and stay under 4k. It also needs to be reliable!!!!!!!!! That is my main concern.




You are obviously not looking for a reliable car. You're looking for a car you can trick out.

If you were looking for reliability.....you had it in the Civic, and trashed it.

Grow the fuck up and get an economy car and leave all the blingbling for the car alone.

Cars are made to get you from point A to point B.
They are not made to get you some pussy.

I agree. Don't waste time and money to look like a fool with your ticked out Honda.

If you're going to tick out a car, at least do it to something worthwhile like an old muscle car or a car that was MADE to go fast, like a BMW M series.

lol your the one smoking crack.  you should most def. reconsider what you are driving, it is the defintion of rice, cheap ass wheels on a honda civic hatchback.

hondas are notoriously reliable when you take proper care of them, far more reliable that 90% of american made cars and far more reliable than any mitsubishi ever made.  sounds like you just couldn't keep your foot out of the gas and drove it like a bat out of hell because i have seen several different hondas go well over 200k miles on regular maintenance.

btw i have a 1996 ford taurus and she rocks, she takes me everywhere, gets semi decent gas mileage, i can haul around 5 people, and it was only 1600 bucks (bought her over a year ago) and still runs just fine.

hey now, there is nothing wrong with modding a civic if you do it right (i am a huge fan of EK hatches, his car to be exact, but his looks like shit), but putting some shitty carbon fiber hood and some off brand wheels and tires on your car is not doing it right.

I'm surprised no one said pickup or SUV.  You can get great deals on them right now because everyone started trading them in when gas started to spike.  Of course, if you drive a lot, you'll be paying a lot in gas, but if not it won't be bad, and they're extremely useful, especially pickups.  I'm always wishing I had a pickup for various little projects and stuff.

you're losing the reliability, anyway if you're putting a new

if you dont really care what you drive, and want good mileage.

An old import, esp. Mazda, or an old 4cyl. Ford, like an escort, that has a mazda engine.

Cheap to buy, to run and repair. Just tighten up the e-brake and you can powerslide those country roads to your hearts content.

Right now I have a Mazda MPV. runs like a charm. 300k km on it. rw drive, 5 spd manual, w/ 4x4 on the fly and centre diff. lock high and low. 25miles/gallon, or 10 L/100km.

dirty, yeeehaw

dude tricking a car is going to be rims..depending if there are steelies on it.  and a decent system.  That in NO way would downgrade reliability.  Speak from experience, or dont speak at all.

and btw, the motor was 300$ and free to install.  so yeah.

Dont listen to them dude, your 100% right. Rims and a system are minor modifications, that as you said "in no way downgrades reliablility." So go for it and have fun. Personally id look into a honda Del Sol. Gets great gass mileage (28-30 mpg's), looks GREAT with a nice set of rims on it, and has enough room for 2 12's + a decent sized amp in the trunk. Youd be down grading on your passenger space as its only a 2 seater but other than that, if you find one with a B-13 motor swap (or do it yourself) then youve got one hell of a reliable car.

Getting butt hurt every time someone gives you their honest opinion is a great way to ensure no one ever wastes their time doing so again.

So....why not keep the car you have, now that it has a new engine?

your honda civic is one of the most reliable cars ever made, and its not just those years (96-00) that are unreliable, every generation, even from the first ones produced in the 70s have had awesome reliability ratings and are just getting better with every generation.  with proper maintenance its not uncommon to see the d16 (your stock motor i assume, not sure on your cars package, could even be a d15) go well over 200k with proper driving and care.  as far as unreliable cars go, pretty much anything mitsubishi from 96-00 (assuming your looking for a car around the same year) are notoriously unreliable.  also be weary of intrigues, malibus, cavaliers, and pretty much anything GM from the mid 90s, while cheap to work on, common problems include headgasket replacement all the way to extremely major problems like transmission replacement (the autos anyway.)

if you want a kind of cool car, with a lot of get up and go but not a lot of aftermarket, look for a very well taken care of ford probe GT with a 5 speed from 96/97.  they are extremely fun to drive, lots of pep and handle great in a stock format and (if you like the car) can very very good looking with the right mods.  very reliable if well taken care of and a huge online community to help you fix whatever is wrong with it and the community has dealt with every single problem these cars have ever had.  most ford dealerships can't even work on these cars like the owners can.
