IS A 10 YEAR OLD GTI RELIABLE?
I talk with Ian about his 2008 VW GTI mkv. It his fairly clean for its age and has held up fairly well but he has poured loads of money into the car so he's not too happy about that.

2013 Subaru WRX - 6 Year Update! (Reliability, Maintenance, Cost of Ownership, etc)
มุมมอง 65K6 ปีที่แล้ว
I can't believe it's been about 6 years since I got my WRX! Time flew by. Looking back at all my service records it's shocking how cheap and reliable this thing has been. Just basic maintenance and a couple recalls that got fixed. Car was stage 2 for a couple years when I first got it. I used to run an Invidia Q300 with a catless downpipe. It was even straightpiped at once. Also ran DGR coilove...
Should You Buy a Subaru WRX? (09-14 WRX Overview)
มุมมอง 243K8 ปีที่แล้ว
IG @pauller I'll go over various things about the WRX, 09-14 models specifically. These cars are reliable if they're well taken care of and not driven too hard. Transmission is fairly weak and can't handle much past stage 2. Head gaskets are weak also. I recommend just keeping the car at a stage 1 tune. I don't advise staying on the stock tune though because it's pretty bad. Let me know if you ...

Sounds a lot better I think with mufflers instead of the Nameless. I like the stealth factor with this setup too. Only running the downpipe.

    All you people commenting about "stage 1, stage 2" are killing me. Define these. You can't. How much HP does it add? How much torque? Just like most "tuner" stuff these days, you all are talking out of your asses. "Stage 3 clutch". Give me a break.

    I wish they still sold these! I wasn't financially ready at the time but now, would TOTALLY go for a '12-'14 WRX new. The '15+ is a fast-ish Corolla by comparison. So boring to drive and to hear! Even bone stock, the car in this video is fun as hell to drive in any situation, even calmly and casually.

    In all due respect , you buy a car for $5,000 with 140,000 miles on it ,what did you expect. This isn't a Volkswagen issue ,its "should I buy a car with a little less mileage on it and pay more or roll the dice and take my chance and gamble that nothing major will go wrong with a high mileage car" News flash ,clutches usually start to go once you hit six figures in mileage

    That engine has alooooot of noise on the inside of it. You should get it checked/serviced. Full service is around 23,000 miles for the r6. I have one too and my engine sounds nothing like that. They are quiet. Like so quiet you wouldn't even know it's running if they had a quieter muffler. When my oil got thinned out pretty good (cheap oil is no good for these either, not at all) I noticed my engine got louder. Changed oil, engine got quiet again. Running less than 93 octane gasoline also gives it a spark tic. It's weird, but true. I noticed the first time I ran regular gas. I love these bikes. She'll tell you when somethings wrong with her but it's hard to know it if you didn't know how the bike is supposed to sound and feel b4 anything has ever happened to it. I got lucky with mine. Never dropped, until I got it lol and barely ever driven. 16k Mike's when I got it, 3rd owner. 2nd owner never drove it. First owner kept it clean, garage kept, frequent service. Bike never saw over 100mph until the day I bought it.
