That goes for any mid engine car too if you just stay on the throttle then it won’t happen. Also if you take your hands off the wheel when the snap oversteer starts the car just kinda fixes itself lol

      Two real simple things you can do: Number one is check the fluids, usually a good indication if someone took care of the car or not. Number two is hold your hand at the end of the exhaust with the car running (make sure it's a cold start). If you see oil on your hand it could be the pistons, sleeves, or in the case of a Subaru probably a head gasket.
      There are also forums for just about every car on the market and if your buying something common the known faults will be well documented.

    Currently watching this great vid after I bought my first car just over a month ago and passed my test in January. My first car is a Baby Blue Audi A4 B7 got it for a good price and payed off my insurance for the year so very happy with that. When I was B7 hunting I found some stupid prices for ridiculous mileage near my area that were on sale. And I found my baby after 5 days of hunting. Thing is that it was over 100km away so I asked the owner if he could meet me halfway and he was very nice to do so. He was an old dude (bonus 😁), and the car has been treating me well ever since. Just getting a few minor engine problems fixed. Good few mods on the way. Moral of the story is dont jump the gun when you see a car you like and want keep looking. There’s always a better one for a better price. Just make sure the engine is good 😌👍🏾.

    • @KITOMERO
      @KITOMERO 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great choice! My first car I also got this year was an A4 B8.5 Quattro. I love how practical these are, while still being upscale and affordable (under 12 grand for a really nice one).
      4-doors, decently roomy and upscale interior, and a surprisingly large trunk. Especially since these A4's offer modern features of electronic assists like blind spot monitoring and backup camera, heated and electronic multi-zone adjustable seats, keyless entry, along with AWD and traction control (fantastic in the winter).
      I also like how Audi is more of an understated brand that's not as pretentious as Mercedes or BMWs, while still offering similar levels of quality.
      My other options for 4-door AWD sedans were Subarus, which were either too expensive, or old/thrashed with nowhere near the same amount of features as these Audi's for the price.

I then sold it and got a 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T Sport in October 2020 with the help of my pops (only credit-wise; I paid insurance, down payement, and monthly payments myself). I then traded in the 1.5T for a 2020 2.0T in December 2021 (The bank thought it was better to just buy off the 1.5T since it was more convenient for them considering how not great my interest was at the time of getting the 1.5T (16%), nice no debt there). This was my first time doing it on my own without any credit bumps or having my pops co-sign. I'm currently doing well with the payments and I'll be doing quite a bit of cosmetic (maybe performance) modding since I'll be having it for 3 years.
