Re: Help deciding a new car
Ha yes, mine has gone through that phase. The mass airflow sensor and one of the ignition coils failed within a few weeks of each other. But all actually it still has all of the original pipes and hoses, all are still in good order
Has 292k on now so I suppose that phase is coming around again soon

@RiaX: You bastid... I would have bought your car just for the body kit.
I must agree with Stiggy... the service on my car cost about as much as the service on my GFs Jetta 5 2.slow!

Re: Help deciding a new car
Yep service parts are no more expensive than they are for any other car.
The jetta 5 2.0 is like an F1 racer compared to the old fiesta 1.6 auto, continental drift is faster than that thing

Your car had the M Sport kit. Super Sexy. Mine is plain boring stock bumpers and wheels.
Also, your wheels... those are the best wheels BMW ever designed.

Congratz Riax!
Since we are talking BMW's for a second, let me just mention my desire to own a good BMW 850 before I die.
The best looking BMW ever made. Drool!

Re: Help deciding a new car
That man is utterly brilliant, tears of joy I have. And he uses them to travel aimlessly around the country, I believe I have found my calling
I absolutely have to go to that breakers yard, man I wish such a place existed here.
//Edit: I loved that comment about Mercedes being a car that will last forever, true it is. But not for those built under Chrysler's evil reign.....

Re: Help deciding a new car
Ya so my so the dealership delayed my delivery, tracker disconected its security systems b ut did reconnect it :/ they couldnt start the car till tracker comes back and reconnects whatever they disconnected.... FML
So I told toyota I want the car with its TRD kit and everything and im no longer taking delivery until its fully kitted so next week now >.< ... rather wait and recieve a complete package then running up and down with them fiddling the car because if they break it they responsible and cant say "oh it was like that"

I am surprised Toyota is this disorganised.
