Has the quality of cars increased in the last 10-15 years? Do they last for more miles?
Depends on the manufactor.
I'd say Chevy and Ford have improved a lot (due to the use of Toyota lean principles)
Kia has improved
Dodge has gotten worse
Toyota has remained about the same.
Audi has slightly improved
Mercedes Benz has gotten worse
BMW still bad
Honda has gotten a little worse
Madza hasn't changed much
Nissian has gotten worse
Have smart phones got better? Have tvs got better? Have u got better?
Of course cars have got better u idiot.
GM and Ford are leagues better than they were, though the late 90's early 2000's is virtually impossible to be worse than for them. Basically the only good vehicles were from Ford and they were their trucks and large suv (basically just a truck still)

Thesis: Anyone who drives a BMW Touring and isn't a car enthusiast is a badgewhore.
Why would you buy a BMW wagon?
I'll use the Volkswagen counterpart for comparison. Passat vs 3 series, both are D segment.
Space? Volkswagen wagons are cheaper (depends on where you live) and more spacious - pic related.
Handling? It's a fat and heavy wagon, you don't buy a wagon for handling.
Performace? You don't buy wagons for performance but if you wanna argue that, the 328i 193hp E46 does 0-60 in 7.4s while the 2.8L 193hp B5 Passat does it in...

I'm wondering, when should I get my oil changed in my car? The sticker says 155,748 and I passed that and currently have 156,126 miles.
if you can't remember the last time you changed your oil, it's probably time to change your oil
>>15196168
Had my oil changed 11/23/15
>>15196187
at what mileage ?
Welcome to the new 2017 Ford Fusion. They fucked up their best looking car.
looks identical to me 2bh
>>15195848
And the new key/shifter. Why, ford? Why did you do this?
>>15195856
Who gives a shit? The only time I looked at a fusion on the street was back when they looked like Honda Preludes
Interested in both. Which one?
Common issues?
Which years should I avoid?
RWD or X-Drive? I'd prefer rear-wheel, but live on the east coast (DC area), so worried about snow. Does X-Drive take away all the fun?
>>15195739
if you need to ask if you need AWD, you don't need it.
get snow tires
>>15195760
DC winters are very hit-or-miss. We got three feet of snow this winter, but others we literally get nothing.
>>15195775
Get a cheap spare set of wheels and snow tires like other anon said. Steelies are just fine just make sure they will clear your brakes. You should be able to get a set with tires for $800 or less

Coolant sensor "housing"(?) Leak. Ignoring all of the text that I scratched through in this picture. It's the only one I could find. I have a 93f150 that I dropped a 351 5.8 into. It came from a 95 bronco. Everything works fine, it's just this fucking piece giving me absolute hell. I went to a junkyard and found a replacement because my original one ended up having a hole in it. But now the coolant won't stop leaking out of the threads leading out of the neck. The temp sensor for the motor sits in here and the crossover pipe transfers coolant over when...

The coolant seeps out where the green color is and then drains onto the top of the water pump to the ground. Just in case I wasn't clear where exactly the leak is.
use thread sealant bro.
>>15195032
So take it off and coat it with sealant, then screw it back in? Do you think I could seal it for the time being with something? I need drive it about 70 miles to get to where my tools are. I have some high rated atv for making gaskets but I'm not sure if it'll hold up to the temperature from the coolant.
Why car manufacturers dont make cars in this colour anymore ?
You're too late, brah.
Turquoise and teal make a big comeback in Yurop currently (probably due to the "90's hype".

Well they know their market.
It's definitely the freshest color right now, at least on /o/
Just bought a 2015 vw polo gti, ask me anything.
Why didn't you get a FiST?
Why wouldn't you post in /hhg/?
Also, is it as underwhelming as reviews say compared to the competition?
>>15194881
Were you too poor to buy the Golf?
That's literally the only reason to ever buy a Polo.
