I want a car that is going to be as reliable and low maintenance as possible. Something with a manual tranny. Can be 0% fun to drive, just need something newer than my truck (1987 toyota pickup that I will continue to use for farm use)
>Honda Civic
>Honda Accord
>Toyota Camry
>Toyota Corolla
What else am I forgetting? Looking to spend 8k or less.

>my dick is diamonds
22 thousand though? with that many miles seems stupid
I agree the price is fucking retarded, but in the US factory diesel anything that was imported is expensive as fuck.
Chevy Cavalier/Pontiac Sunfire.
The 2.2L pushrod I4 cannot be killed.
>pushrod inline engine
Why?
SOHC wouldn´t be more complex or heavy on a inline engine.
Likely began life as a half of a V8
MX-5 or a 240.
2.2L and 115 HP of pushrod reliability.
Nope. The GM 122 engine was designed from the start as a 4 cylinder.

Corolla is always an answer
>all would have been ragged the fuck out
Thats why I would dodge those.
A SOHC valvetrain is actualy more relieable than a OHV valvetrain.
It has less moving parts wich are less stressed than on a OHV system.
>2,2L
>115hp
Pathetic.
>reliability is OP mains concern
Whats the problem?
shorter timing chain
and most push rod engines operate at a lower speed
If low mainainance is OPs main concern, a Prius might be good, since he wouldn´t even need to refuel often.
I expect the 2,2L I4 to be pretty inefficient.
Do you people even fucking read OP also explicitly said he wanted a Manual transmission.
>timing chain
Unless you own a VAG engine, that won´t be a problem.
>lower speed
The speed can be the same for both, just because OHC allows higher rpm than OHV doesn´t mean the engine has to rev high.
As a bonus, if you get the pushrod I4, and decide you want power later on, the GM 60* V6's bolt to the transmission and will bolt in with slight modification to N-body mounts.

'A 3800 will bolt to the transmission as well but fitting that thing is more trouble than it's worth. You need to make an entire custom subframe to fit the fucker.
It's been done though.

On the note of engines that will bolt to the 2.2L pushrod I4 Cavalier's transmission...

Volvo p1800, it will outlive you as long as you change the oil. Also no computers to break for no apparent reason.
Sorry, I forgot that point.
I would suggest some other manual Toyota then.
Theses cars last long, are fuel efficient and don´t require much maintainance.
I gotmyself a Aygo for pretty much the same reason.

Landcruisers are hit the hardest with Toyota Tax.

Those are the US government ratings.
Converted to European gallons, it's 25 city, 37 highway, 19 combined.
converting the real world numbers to European MPG: 37 city, 41 highway.
So it's fairly efficient despite the large engine size. I've seen OHC I4's smaller than that in European cars that can't achieve those numbers.
>19 combined.
29 combined. Fucking typo
>fueleconomy.gov
That is still pretty bad for a 115hp car...
Not for the cars it competed with at the time.
fueleconomy.gov
It's actually fairly average fuel economy for that horsepower figure.
>26 vs 31 mpg
Well, it is pretty inefficient compared to the civic.
>looking at combined
look at the highway figures tard. It's not all that big a difference. You'll never notice it.
Most people drive in the city as well...
A Geo Metro, duh.
and in the city, you'll average 25-27 mpg. I know from experience. The EPA estimates are general estimates and have been proven to be broken for certain cars.
Example: around 2012, Hyundai got in trouble with the EPA for heavily advertising the Elantra getting 40 MPG, when it didn't IRL. The Elantra did achieve 40 MPG highway on the EPA's testing and algorithm correction procedure. The problem came about because Elantra owners bought the car for the gas mileage and were never able to hit the claimed numbers causing huge EPA fines and a huge class action lawsuit for false advertising.
You can beat the EPA rating of every car when you drive fuel efficient.
granted. It's called hypermiling. But I'm talking about during every day, don't give a shit driving
Nicest 4door cav I've seen lately
