Forrest Gump 9 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I think I need some interventions about my next vehicle choice. I’m currently rocking an ultra reliable 2000 Toyota 4Runner 5speed. As the weather turn warmer I want to sell it and get an AUDI ALLROAD QUATTRO with the 2.7tt engine and 6 speed manual transmission. Someone please stops me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 You should get a Carmero ZL1 or a S550 V8 Mustang according to everyone else here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 you can get the same ownership experiences out of the $500 civic for sale in the corral except if you fix the civic it'll probably stay running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Let's talk about issues - Oil leaks - turbos, valve covers, cam seals - all of which are labor intensive Timing belts due to poorly sourced parts the first replacement Plastic Impeller water pumps (should be changed to metal at replacement) Cam chain tensioners - also a oil leak spot at back of heads Ball joints in the front suspension (8 total) Tie rods seizing that then require replacement due to rubber bushings Front Axle boots tear AIR SUSPENSION - need I say more? It's garbage The cooling system as a whole sucks, heater cores clog, auxiliary water pumps fail, the thermostat is 5.6 hours because it's BEHIND THE WATERPUMP. Secondary air injection system failure - the pump fails, or fills with water and fails, the old plastic hoses are brittle and break trying to remove them for other service Flex Pipes fail at high rates and are incredibly expensive Alarm system issues with randomly going off and difficult at times to diagnose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I actually saw one of these allroads last week in the trader joe's parking lot. 2.7T and a stick. I was dumbstruck to actually see one on the road as I haven't seen a non v8 allroad in years, let alone a stick one. My wife couldn't understand why I was making a fuss over a dark beige station wagon. This one had coil overs in place of the air bags (if you think I am above crawling on the ground next to a strangers car in a parking lot I can assure you I am not) and I think that most that are still on the road will have had the airbag system swapped out. Then again this could be the last one on the road in Columbus for all I know. I feel like this is one of those cars that is a labor of love to own, like an 8-series bmw, a mazda rotary, or a v-10 M5 - you have to be prepared to work on it yourself and do some pretty intensive repair and maintenance items at home because paying someone else will just drain your bank account.
