| Answer to: Is an 07-08 Acura TLS a good first car? | 11Relevance | 6 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... go with your first car would be the Honda Civic SI. Acura is still a luxury car brand, which means that repairs and maintenance can get expensive over time (generally after 10-15 years or 150k miles). Acuras especially the specific one you are considering are more sporty than other premium cars so they also get ragged out a lot. Here is the tag for Acura, and here is the first car tag.

| 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe idling problem and Check engine light won't go off | 11Relevance | 6 years ago | Aibek | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, Thanks for what you are doing. first-time driver and I learned a lot from you. I bought a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe with a 2.7L V6 engine about 10 000 miles ago, my first car. Now it has 169 000 miles. About 8 000 miles ago, 2-3 weeks after I changed the oil and did fuel injector cleaning, the Check Engine light turned on with P2187 and P2189 codes (System too lean ai Idle Bank 1 and Bank 2). I checked the gas tank cap (which was ok visually) and erased the code. The same code came back after two or three months of driving. After consulting with a ... | |||||

| Answer to: 2016 Lexus Gs200t as a first car | 9Relevance | 6 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Seems very modern for a first car. Good cars Lexus always made good turbos when it comes to reliability but for a first car most people would recommend a lower end car like a Corolla, but if you can afford that then go ahead. Always remember to have a mechanic check it out before purchase as a pre-purchase inspection. | |||||
| Should I buy a e93 BMW with a "salvage" title as a first car or consider a different car? | 11Relevance | 4 years ago | Yeetas | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Ive been looking around for a relatively reliable, fast, and luxurious vehicle for my first car and after bouncing around a lot of euro cars. Eventually I found a car that seemed to match my criteria. The car is a automatic 2011 BMW e93/335i with a retractable hardtop with 77k miles on it for $11000 from a dealer. This year of the e9x has the n55 engine which is a inline 6 cylinder with a single turbo and Ive seen there's a lot of gasket issues but nothing that seems too difficult to replace to prevent oil leaks. The one major issue I have with the car is th ... | |||||

| Answer to: What car have you guys driven when you had your first car | 9Relevance | 6 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 1999 Honda Accord from the beginning. And I still have it 22 years later, now at 270K miles! I put over 200K on it with the first 8-10 years of ownership. And the last 70K in the last 10-12 years. It was super reliable the first 200K. Only started having repairs beyond basic maintenance after 200K miles. In retrospect, I should have driven it more the past 10 years, instead of my other cars. I never appreciated the quality and reliability of Honda, until I had to spend $$$ on repairs and maintenance of a BMW. | |||||

| When should I perform the first oil change in my brand new car? | 9Relevance | 4 years ago | JoeMC23 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi guys, So I just purchased a brand new 2022 Toyota Corolla LE. When talking to the car dealer he mentioned that I won't need to get an oil change until the car has been driven 16,000km (I am from Canada) and after that then every 8,000km. I am definitely not an expert on cars but I have never heard of waiting 16,000km to get your first oil change? Is this normal or should I get my first one after 8,000km driven? Thanks! | |||||
| 2014 Ford Fusion as son's first car? | 11Relevance | 4 years ago | Jkeena | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, It's time for my son to get his first car. I have a 2014 Ford Fusion with 155,000 miles that I was thinking of giving him. The car has never had any actual engine problems. I have had to replace the entire AC system ($1300), I've had to replace the rotors twice and they feel like they need new ones. I've also had to replace the shocks and struts twice, as well. (Also due for replacement) In between all that, it goes through tires quite a bit faster than expected too. There is also a strong jerk in the transmission when you first go int ... | |||||
| Answer to: Asking for opinion for a first car | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I'm assuming we are talking about the second generation Avensis, but most of what is said here is true also of the first gen. As, @g-t said, that engine is probably a Toyota-CD, and as a matter of fact that's a crappy engine. Keep in mind that the fuel system (including pressure regulators and injectors) isn't well built at all, the exhaust gas recirculation valves are known to cause issues, and water pumps on these are probably the worst in the industry. Oh and don't forget the cost of maintaining a Toyota D-4D: 6L of oil every 7500km, A timing job every ... | |||||
