Wife just totaled our 2017 VW golf sportwagon and I'm thinking of scratching my roadster itch with a 2016 Miata MX-5 grand touring with 12,000 miles. It will be a automatic with a softop. Not thrilled about either of these options but I like paddle shifters so I'll get some enjoyment out of it...

Hey guys the warranty is almost up on my wife's VW golf sportwagon and we will be looking to trade it in and also trade our way out of the $400 dollar new car payment into a sub $300 payment. I love my f150 2.7 eco so much that I'm considering the eco mustang circa 2015-16. She loves the looks...

Hey folks my last few posts here at bitog have been about finding a good used 3/4 ton diesel to upgrade from my f150 2.7 eco. I'm having a hard time find a good pre emmissions truck in my price range that isn't junk and many people here have recommended a gasser which honestly I didn't really...

Hey folks I've been used diesel hunting and I've found a 2005 Ram 3500 5.9 4x4 238,000 miles that I'm going to go look at. I'm not diesel saavy so any pointers on what to look at engine wise would be appreciated. It's a auto(really wanted a 6 speed manual) but it's been built by suncoast, who is...

OK so I need to upgrade to a 3/4 or a 1 ton diesel so that I can upgrade my travel trailer for full time living. I'm also getting away from new vehicles and new car payments. Trading my 17 f150 ecoboost and buying a 14k or so diesel to keep forever. Obvious choice is a 24v cummins with a 6...

Hello again, its been awhile since I've posted anything here. I've had my 2017 2.7 f150 eco for about 15 months now and it's been great towing my 4800lb dry travel trailer so far. I spend about 8mos a year traveling for work and have recently decided to go full time and just tour around when not...

Hey folks I'm getting ready to shop for a travel trailer for my new 2017 F150 2.7. I was under the impression that the 2.7 was good to 8,100 per literature from fords website but upon a VIN search I see max tow at 5,000 but I'm just not sure that im interpreting it right. I no longer have the...

Hey guys I'm in the market for a little bit of bed protection in my 2017 F150. Spray in seems like a no brainer especially with rust involved with anything drop in(liners, mats, etc), but since I have a aluminum bed rust isn't an issue right? Just wanted to come see what the consensus is with...

Hey guys I'm loving my new 2017 F150 2.7TT. Seems carbon build up is a real issue with this engine per some videos from a Ford Technician on youtube. Just wondering what I can do to keep that engine as clean as possible on the inside. My first oil change was to mobil 1 synthetic but I'm...

Hey guys I pulled the trigger on a new 2017 F150 2.7 2wd a few days ago and absolutely love it so far. I'm really wondering about the whole auto stop/start thing though, it doesn't bother me, but I have to wonder how much gas it can really save by shutting the engine down for 15 or 20 seconds...

Hey folks I've been truck shopping the last few weeks and have run across a 2016 Ram 1500 SLT with the 5.7 that has the numbers all in my favor. Seems like Dodge gets a worse rap on the interwebs than other manufacteurs so I thought I would check here to see what people think of the 5.7...

Hey Folks I'm in the market for a truck no older than 1 to 2 years. I dont need alot to hardly any tow capacity other than a few hundred pound kayak trailer. I do travel for work and MPG is important which has me leaning towards the Colorado or f series ecoboost, I like the 24-26 hwy mileage...

Hey guys my 2017 vw sportwagen 6at has a vibration that im trying to figure out. When in park the engine only revs to 3800rpm and while there it has a vibration that will shake the whole car. I didnt notice it until today and it was after a sprited drive with some redline shifts. So what do you...

Please correct me if some of this is wrong. All I keep hearing about is diesel engines that go hundreds of thousands of miles out lasting their gasoline counterparts. Along with the longevity they get better mileage and better performance. I'm not sure how true this next part is, but I heard...

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade my car radio in my 2009 toyota matrix. This is my traveling car for work and I have some specific features I'm looking for and I hope you can help me out. I see a lot of cars now have andriod auto which allows GPS to come up on the display, this would be a huge...

Hey guys my 2009 toyota matrix s 2.4 needs a new clutch soon. I seen that there is a heavy duty trd clutch available and was wondering if it would provide any benefit for the extra few hundred dollars. I don't intend to modify the stock engine so I'm not sure it its need. I do drive this car...

Hey guys alot of you may have seen my thread where I am trying to score a 2017 sportwagon 5mt. I am still trying to get that car, which is 5 hours away, but today I started looking at possibly getting a 6at local. If I did, a part of me will die without a clutch pedal but at least my wife can...

Hello folks. I'm fixing to go to my local vw dealer to work on getting a new golf sport wagon manual. This will be my first purchase of a brand new car. Until now I was a 2 to 3 year old shopper. Msrp is $20,534 on the wagon but I seen a few guys here who got their cars at around 18,000. I would...

I read a thread here about a couple guys with new vw golf sport wagens and it really got me interested. Problem is that I can't find one with a manual transmission anywhere. My dealer has 3 and their all automatics. I've tried carmax and Autotrader but I'm not coming up with anything. Tried vw's...

Hey guys I'm kind of fed up with car shopping for a 3 year old vehicle, which was my old tactic. For the first time I'm going to explore buying new. While down at nissan looking at a used cx-5 today they told me about their lifetime powertrain warranty which I didn't realize anyone was doing now...
