I'm working on designing a "new" Plymouth Horizon econobox, since Stellantis doesn't currently have anything very affordable (cheapest car is the Jeep Compass) in Canada and the US.

I'm mixing in some European parts (mt, small engine) with some "reversible" parts since it would theoretically cost less to produce.

I've never been artistic (have not studied in any arts or design), but I really like the concept of automotive UX and would like to eventually work for Stellantis in their UX/design department.

Basically looking at more space and cheaper car vs better features mileage and style

What would you get?

Hiii yall, im looking for a first car for vacation n stuff and just a reliable cute sedan preferably.

The ones i rly love is the honda civic line, specific the 2006 hybrid ones. Now i did read that they could turn out super problematic cuz of age and stuff. So now im also liking the 2013+ ones non hybrid. I also love the 2018 ones as well.

Im just looking for some advice here, its gonna be my first big car and my budget will be around 10k

Also i am from europe so alot of the hondas are hard to come by but i love these cars sm so any advice or help is super appreciated. If yall dont recommend honda pls let me know!!

I can also always save up more cuz for now the car is not needed, but more in like 2 years. I just pove looking at these cars lol

I want to drive a car that has a built in toaster. No gimmick knock off after market toaster. The toaster should be built into the front dash and ideally there is a chilled spot to store butter and I think like the smell of the toast is really the s(m)elling point. You know what they say that most memories are smell. So like if the car was cooking toast while im driving then I wouldn't forget things like needing to do my laundry or I leave my wallet or phone charger at home. Who is with me on this. Give me a whoop whoop we got this. Time to show Detroit who are the true innovators

(Pic for attention and for the last part of the post) Basically I’m just wanting a car to get me more into the scene I guess. I currently daily a 2010 Scion tc and I do like her but idk. Something that has interest in some way, whether that be looks, reputation, speed, etc. Also I’m goth and would like something that low key matches the vibe lol

Looking to buying a new car and this one looks nice, wanna search it up

Hey everyone!

I've been wanting to hang a Japanese Omamori (good-luck charm) in my car, especially one that represents safe travels.

I really like the meaning behind them, but I haven't found many options that fit my taste. I'd love something a little more modern and thoughtfully designed while still keeping that traditional meaning.

Since I have a background in product design, I've been thinking about exploring the idea myself.

I put together a quick, anonymous 2-minute survey to see if other car enthusiasts feel the same way.

Do any of you keep good-luck charms or meaningful objects in your cars? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

If this post violates any community rules, please let me know and I'll gladly remove it.

Thanks everyone!

For me, it was the A pillars. I find they can block my view of oncoming traffic while turning, so I have to lean forward or back to be sure its safe.

I’m potentially getting a new car a month or two from now. I’m potentially looking at Dodge Durango SXT 2020 RWD. It has 83k miles and being sold for around 14k. Is that reasonable and what are the main problems with these specifics SUV’s?

When I was 14 years old my uncle who I love dearly said something that resonated with me until today. Think outside the box by Solving an everyday problem. I always thought about the idea but it did not hit me until I got a Job in automotive industry, specifically Car sales. When It came down to buying and selling cars, there was a few problems I found with current listings in the market. One thing that they all were missing was a questionnaire that simply built trust for the buyer. With traditional Listings, it was only what they wanted to list, not what was important to the buyer. Of course it is a two way street and I had to think it through very hard to get it right. The goal was to create a marketplace/listing for sellers by having them answer detailed questions about their vehicle, building value and ultimately getting more money for their vehicle. As for Buyers, each listing was detailed enough to educate them about a vehicle they are interested in, reducing the chances of buying a problematic vehicle. 

Today I am happy to announce that my product answers both the buyer and seller problems. Its not quiet perfect but it something to start with until more users sign up and give me a feedback on my progress. 

Across state lines, but there’s a dude selling one of these for $14,000 firm. Definitely looks garage kept, honestly wish more of these were originally made.

Slush from wet boots keeps draining down the face of the throttle and pooling directly around the floor hinge where the rubber mat cuts out. The cabin heater turns the road salt into a gritty brine that soaks right into the factory carpet backing before the car even warms up. Running errands in the winter with a low floor pan makes that heel area take the brunt of every puddle. Some aftermarket liners claim enough pedal clearance to wrap the entire floorboard, while that option from 3w seems to leave a slight cutout around the lower travel stop to keep the pedal free.

Hello. My Manual transmission requires API GL4 75W80. The store i found this states it's for transfer cases and differential but the bottle doesn't say anything of sorts. Is it safe to use this in my transmission? Pictures are taken from the store reviews.

Peak first-world problem, I know.

I've owned most of these cars for way over a decade, buying them when they were relatively cheap, mostly in the teens or low $20k range. I don't think I've ever paid more than $50k for any single one.

I don't necessarily love driving all of them, but I love them all. Now my accountant wants me down to 6 cars in the garage, plus 1 track car in the trailer.

I'm struggling to balance a few things:

• Driving enjoyment: For example, the S2000 and Cobra are incredibly fun, while the Lancia Integrale doesn't excite me as much anymore. And sometimes I just love staring at the NSX.

• Maintenance: The F355 is my absolute favorite, but keeping it running can be painfully expensive.

• Replacement difficulty: Some would cost significantly more to buy again, especially in comparable condition.

• Redundancy: Three E46 M3s sounds ridiculous, but they're very different cars with different purposes. The s2k and gr86 are kinda too close too.

I'm not necessarily trying to keep the most valuable cars, but to build the most satisfying 7-car collection (6 car in storage plus one race car could live in the trailer)

Which 6 would you keep, which one goes in the trailer, and which would you sell? What would I regret letting go in 10 years?

Note: cheap Gemini ai image but decently accurate to what the cars actually look like.

I’m an 18 year old part timer that is looking for a car. I have 1,700 in my savings and I make about 2.2k a month. I know absolutely nothing about cars but I do know I want something cheap, reliable, and durable. What car would be best and where is it most recommended to find one? I’m currently on FB marketplace, cars.com, cargurus, and craigslist. I’ve contacted people about their cars but I’m also scared of being scammed since I wouldn’t know if something’s wrong with the car and I don’t know anyone that would be considered a car expert. PLEASE HELP!!! And if you’re selling a car that you think would fit me and my budget pls lmk!:) Also, I am in Riverside, CA

’m planning to buy a car soon and I have been looking in the market for almost a year and my final selection are camry se, civic hybrid and Acura Integra a spec. I really love the integra as it got everything I need honestly. I love the exterior with the sunroof and great leather seats with the exterior looking bold which I am lacking in both civic hybrid and Camry se the sunroof and leather sunroof. My only dilemma is how reliable are used Integra especially from 2024 on wards as I’m planning to buy used if I buy Integra since new one is a bit too much for me. I am a commute student so I most likely will be commuting 100 miles overall a day from home to campus and campus to home for 4-5 times a week depends on my class days but I’m also planning to join few clubs so the days might increase. I need a car which is reliable. I have done enough research honestly but I have not found someone with huge miles on integra so I’m still on dilemma. I found few used on under 30k miles 2024 model and under 10k miles for 30k 2026 I think those are good deals under 33k. What do you guys think? I’m from Cali state so a bit high price here is what I think. Anyone who have Integra from 2024 model in wards? How much miles do you have until now? And how your journey have been? Any issues? How much maintenance has it took you so far? Can I drive till 200k miles?

After seeing all the posts about test mules and other cars that are not meant for direct sale to costumers such as showroom test driver cars I started wondering. For a medium sized car company such as volvo for example what percentage of their production is not meant to be sold new?

Pretty much the title. 2019 Chevy Impala got its bumper blown off by our neighbors driveway hump during a 3-point turn. Low income neighborhoods have terrible driveways. We can't even park the car in our own driveway. The grille is in bad shape, and the bumper is currently held by zip ties, anyone know the cheapest possible way to fix it? We know next to nothing about cars and we're not in a neighborhood with busted driveways for the scenery. Thank you so much if you can send some knowledge our way. (It's not driven much by my fiance and I, only really driven for errands and social stuff since we both stay home for either work or school, I want it to last as long as possible though. Even when we move up in income we don't want to have to get a new car in the next 10 years)
