What do you guys think of the 2014 Lexus IS250 AWD?
let's say the parts happen to be the starter and passenger window regulator motorDepends on the part, some parts are better OEM, some aren't.When replacing parts in your car, is it always better to go the OEM way?
That Mazda 6 interior update was well needed. Mazda 6 may be a nice future commuter for me, but im sure loaded like that it would cost a lot.
im not sure its even 30k at msrp. theres hardly a difference between the top tier and mid-tier tho. and from what Ive seen, actually price on loaded is around 26. I'm probably gonna go with the Touring (mid-tier) for around 24. we'll see.yeah loaded it's like 30K+, don't know about spending 30K on a Mazda 6 lol
You race it don't you?I went to go see the Hobbit trilogy yesterday (9 hours of sitting in a theatre) and brought out La Cochina. My buddy brought his 550 whp Stealth TT as well.
I was given an A3 as a loaner; not feeling this car at all :x
I literally have an A3 loaner right now while my A6 is in the shop getting maintenance. I don't like the drive at all. Feels almost civic like. Sucks thats all they had. They usually let me choose what to loan out. My favorite has been the All-Road .
yeah the interior is cheap and the ride is not smooth to me
Man, sometimes I think my speedometer is messed up and not showing my true speed. Says I'm doing 45 when I feel like im only doing 30 High revs for what? I looked up that these cars do only like 120 hp to the wheels, one guy dyno'd his and got 109 peak |II'm not surprised. It's slow, plus it's an auto, so its even slower. After I sold my Trailblazer SS early this year, I picked up a 1993 Integra GS-R (rare car) just to get me around while I found something else. I quickly got tired of it, and sold it in less than 3 weeksI miss my Accord man.... Is it bad to say the Integra fever has vanished from me in such a short span of time?

So much has been done to this car that I don't even wanna put it through any more troubles. New front bumper, hood, and OEM headlights are the cosmetic things to do. Spark plug wires, front upper motor mount, cam seal leak and transmission leak are the maintanence. I have the stereo and speakers brand new in the box, but that has to be put on hold.Man, sometimes I think my speedometer is messed up and not showing my true speed.

You lose even more with the automatic ******.
Normally i would tell you to do a manual swap and mod but it might not even be worth it. Just daily it keep it maintained and save for something with a lil more power

Same thing I thought with my old GSR . Below like 4k rpm, there's absolutely NO power, above that there's only slightly more .Man, sometimes I think my speedometer is messed up and not showing my true speed.

Unless it's a Type-R, it's really not worth putting ANY money into it, you'll just be throwing it away. I wouldn't bother swapping a manual into it, it'll still be slow, same goes for performance parts. Either keep it and use it as a daily that gets decent gas mileage and save for something that's more fun to drive like Slicknick said, or dump it now before you spend money on it, and get something you enjoy driving a little more.So much has been done to this car that I don't even wanna put it through any more troubles.

If you want to buy true OEM like a dealer, it's gonna be some cash. But OEM spec is just as reliable, although with the starter & window I'd be leaning more towards dealership for reliability.2004 acura tsxCar info?let's say the parts happen to be the starter and passenger window regulator motorDepends on the part, some parts are better OEM, some aren't.When replacing parts in your car, is it always better to go the OEM way?
I'll be trying to get out of it 1500 (doable in my area & considered a "Steal" ), with another 500, I want to put 2k down on a 06+ Accord EX-L (V6 most likely).Same thing I thought with my old GSR .

8000rpm redline on the B17a, and I think 160 hp (who knows what it would be to the wheels). I'd always feel bad wringing it out to the redline just to get it moving . Then I'd think, man, it must REALLY suck driving the normal version without vtec, and a lower redline. When Integras were new in the 1990s, they might have been bareable, and able to keep up with the competition, but now they're REALLY slow compared to anything out there.

Good call, you'll be much happier. I guess the nice thing about those Integras is they're already pretty much rock bottom in terms of depreciationI'll be trying to get out of it 1500 (doable in my area & considered a "Steal" ), with another 500, I want to put 2k down on a 06+ Accord EX-L (V6 most likely).
I fell in love with my cousins 08 EX-L, but you're spot on with the depreciation. I can't lie though, it's what gets me from point A to point yambs to point B & back. 16 bucks for a full tank tooGood call, you'll be much happier.
