I noticed there isnt really a car community on Lemmy, but some of you guys must be driving cars…!
Im only asking because I just leased a new Volvo XC-40 and its amazing to drive. Really, really happy every time i get into it. Also because the music system is pretty damn good and I can play deezer songs and also music from usb stick. :)
09 Toyota Tacoma with 320k miles. Or roughly half a million kilometers I think.
Another statement to the incredibly reliability of Toyota…
2014 Golf tdi. I live in the states where diesels aren’t as common. I’m glad I found it though. It’s a blast to drive and the fuel efficiency is great.
Well, I drive an '05 A3, mostly to commute to work, or to the train station for further travel. It’s fine for what it is, although with 306k km it starts showing its age.
My teenage kid said the A3 is his dream car… Seems quite reliable if you have so many miles on it. Have you had issues before with it?
Well, I do not know about current gen A3s, mine (8P with the older 2 liter diesel) currently only has the “higher idle” problem, where the ECU thinks that there is not enough voltage in the system while the engine’s running (even though it is 13.8V). I believe it is due to the alternator’s age, but I have to check.
Prior to that it had a coolant leak due to the EGR cooler and other problems stemming from the pre-owner’s total neglect regarding maintenance, but nothing that hinders me from passing inspection… yet.
