2hondas Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I am just wondering if the 05 + 2.5i's have had any engine problems that happened in the past (Piston slap, head gaskets, etc.) I searched, but there werent any definitie answers.

Garandman Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 The 95-99 HG problems didn't really crop up until a lot of cars were at the 100K mark. And it was the DOHC version. Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konrad Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 4EAT or the maunal? I am concerned about the 4EAT. I'm am very disappointed from 4EAT, shifts are abrupt and transmissions as whole doesn't fell right. My first car (94 Taurus) had smoother tranny!

fineout Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 4EAT or the maunal?

spieldawg Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 4eat..im not sure if its the trannys fault or mine for beating on it (yes, i know its not a sports car) but it was fixed under warranty..getting her back with brand new tranny tomarrow I feel the same way. I beat on my car a bit, but the tranny does feel really weird...when it's cold, I get some very harsh shifts. When it warms up it's better, but still not great. I'm a bit concerned about it. My family's getting another subby in a month or two, and I'm going to try to get one that has a different transmission. (Hopefully the 5eat of the GT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hopefully the 5eat of the GT) Well i haven't tried the 5EAT, but Consumer Reports put "Transmission" as a High w/ their test of the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family's getting another subby in a month or two, and I'm going to try to get one that has a different transmission. (Hopefully the 5eat of the GT) I sold my 97 4EAT OBW with 165K miles on it. That transmission is as reliable as any auto on the market as far as I can tell. Manual shift cars cost less, but their resale value is much less, so you don't really save anything. Disconnect your battery for a while and try driving just the way you want. Supposedly the trans is adaptive and learns your driving style. But a 5spd is a lot better, one reason I bought the H6 this time. Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
