What is the most unreliable shitbox you've ever owned, Veeky Forums?

This isnt true
You suck at cars

Mine never broke and i went from 100k miles to 200k. Only normal wear items broke. Turbo was stock with no leaks
Use to hold 120mph through california for hours on a road trip.

the problem with your argument against pic related is that almost entirely corolla/camry parts otuside of the engine will fix every problem you could possibly experience

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_MR2
Offiziell wurde in Deutschland ab April 1990 nur die folgende Version verkauft: Toyota MR2 (SW20) Targa mit dem Zweiliter-Motor (3S-GE) und 115 kW (156 PS) oder 129 kW (175 PS) bzw. 125 kW (170 PS)

The only way to get a turbo version here was to import one or fit a aftermarket turbo on it

Day clunk towards the end when accelerating...

I don't know why but I find that situation hilarious why is that so fucking common

I purchased a 2015 Ford Focus for my wife Sept 2016. I'm so disappointed with this car. And can you believe how much the value drop on this car because of the transmission. The problem we have when taking off, it feels like the car is jerking. I must say it a pretty car with a bad transmission and need to be recalled, or give owners full price on trade in.

Did you buy a brand new car because your wife wouldn't drive a used one?

AW11 MR2

Not its fault. 25 year old car with 350,00km on it

Wouldn't have minded, but using a project car as daily commuter is a stupid idea

Indicator relay
New coilovers, tie rods, ball joints, bushings, motor mounts
Dash light electrical gremlins
New brAke lines and fluids
New timing chain
New distributor leads and plugs

Actually wasn't that bad in terms of shit breaking, everything was just worn, but still the worst I've owned

>timing chain
You wut

yes

it sounded much more dramatic than it actually was.

It's some tiny fucking pothole on that road. Nothing to worry about. i promise, i've only managed to hit it once, and it was that time.

'92 Honda Accord
Bought it used with 430k on the clock (that's in miles).
I had a spare distributer cap, spare plugs, a gallon of a coolant, a gallon of water, two gallons of oil, a quart of transmission fluid, spare valve cover gasket, spare valve springs, spare airfilter, spare head gasket, spare timing belt, spare water pump, a bazillion 17mm sockets and wrenches, a Phillips screw driver, a long flat head, some select other wrenches and sockets, a jack, two jackstands and a cinderblock, and some other stuff I'm forgetting. Everything I mentioned I used at least once.

I strongly do not recommend doing a head gasket+timing belt+water pump on the side of the road in 90 degree heat.

I ditched it inna woods with 450k (odo froze) on the clock.

No, we just have the new car mentality, It wasn't something particularly expensive, after all it is a cheap segment. I regret not buying the Suzuki Swift though.

97 toyota camry I kid you not.
That piece of shit used to embarrass the fuck out of me when it wouldnt start in parking lots. If it did I'd have to redline that shit to keep it going.

Sounds like compression loss.

Chevy Cavalier

1999 plymouth breeze

still have it, but thanks to wiring issues it just randomly dies and wont start, and therefor is sitting in my garage being a shit.

probably going to pull the engine because its dat sikk dohc 2.4. and then crush the car

I've only oned two cars and both of them were/are pretty reliable.
>1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Had to replace fuel pump, radiator, fan clutch and other basic maintenance
>1999 ford ranger
Had to do ball joints, replace the thermostat, replace the upper intake manifold gasket because it was throwing lean codes, needed new shocks because it was still on the original shocks 150k miles later. All in all both good vehicles

1979 Mazda 323 with a 12A dorito swap.

it went through alternators almost as quickly as it went through fuel. sounded nice though

03 Chevy Caviler - it had around 225K miles but I was desperate as hell and picked it up for 1200USD from some less than honest sand monkeys. Every time I started the engine successfully it was a miracle.

After I successfully sued the uninsured and underage driver of my last cars family I sold it for 200USD and picked up a new Versa.

Joseph, I hope you literally set that fucking thing on fire after I gave it to you.

All my vehicles have been fine (so far), but Mum bought one of these turds...

You're on the wrong forum cunt

Miata reliability is a fucking meme.

We're talking about cars here, bub.

Cressida 83'
XJ 96'

>Cressida 83'
Tell us everything, user.

1989 Toyota 4runner. Went through two transmissions, 1 motor, 4 gas tanks, the entire exhaust system, shirty wiring (the passenger side floor would catch fire sometimes), and the rear driveline dropped doing 72 on the freeway

FUCKING

>VOLVO
>S40

I loved the car to bits right, but this thing had spite in it's fucking heart, probably from years of previous neglect by niggers.

Every few weeks there was a new very expensive issue with the car, I had it for a few years until the engine blew from a failed oil pump (didn't alert me or anything, no oil light or anything, ran pretty strong until day before it blew)

Loved it but I hated it.

>Turbo was stock with no leaks
>Use to hold 120mph through california for hours on a road trip.

Its not unheard of.
Plenty of examples of 3sgte going 300k on the stock ct26

I'm more concerned about holding 120mph for hours, thing must've overheated constantly

Why would it?
The cooling systems in MR2s is a bit extreme

...

1993 Probe gt. distributor left me stranded 3x. Transmission came undone, engine never wanted to run right. Always stuttering, windows didnt roll up or done, exhaust stank through the cab

Piece of shit. First car I bought, Got burned.

Seeing as I've only ever owned one shitbox, it has to be it by default I guess. Minus blowing its headgaskets (and still being drivable since it was blowing exhaust into the cooling system instead of mixing oil and coolant) it hasn't had any other problems even at 180k miles. It does burn a bit of oil but that's understandable for a boxer with that many miles, and I don't mind topping it off once a month.

>shot bearings all around
>shot shocks & springs all around
>clutch gone
>master brake cylinder

thats about it really, not exactly unreliable just service parts I had to deal with that the previous owner (one owner car) didn't felt like.

And so, an $1800 shitbox turns into a $3000 shitbox. I should have bought a corolla, gave that car to my brother because i couldn't deal with it anymore

1995 Lada Samara

and I still have it because I love it.

>he doesn't live in the UK where all this could be replaced cheap as shit and he could buy a new engine for

oh yeah, i forgot.
>everything made out of rubber
>wiper 'spray system' lines where clogged due to previous owner using concentrated wiper fluid added with regular water.
>passenger side speaker would turn on( and off randomly (lose contact) couldn't give any fucks to fix that
>Passenger side window motor never worked

I pitty people in older BMW's, keeping them on the road costs a small fortune

>he doesn't live in the UK

thank god for that, i never said parts where expensive, labor was.
The E36 is a great chassis and the engine's are solid

>he doesn't just do it himself

Lad. Just get a cheap shitbox to learn on and save yourself a lifetime of pain, unless you have such pressing work/time/illness constraints (note: autism doesnt count)

nah m8 other than oil changes i leave things to professionals, I happily pay their bar mitzvah aslong as they keep my baby on the road in pristine condition.

also
>implying autism is a constraint
gfys

It isn't lad. But springs and shit isn't too hard. Stuff you can look up online for only the cost of your time. That money could be better spent on porn mags or something for a busy chap like yourself.

i dont have the space to do that shit.

>That money could be better spent on porn mags or something for a busy chap like yourself.

Im busy 24/7 busting my nuts in ur mums mouth m80

Lad. you can do it at the kerbside or on your driveway or maybe on some dead end where noone goes. I'm sure there's possibilites to save money.

Also my mum is dead. get rekt.

>you can do it at the kerbside or on your driveway or maybe on some dead end where noone goes

Ikr, i bust nuts everywhere
nah nigga, my condolences we can stop the shitposting now

why in the woods?

Mine lost compression in the head, but EJ251s are something I stay far away from now.

>everyone replying with American cars

Really makes you think....
