mass-hole Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Chevy Cruze seems to review better than the focus and if you get the eco you can be in the 40mpg range as well. I test drove one with the 6 spd manual and, believe it or not, it had more room in the trunk and back seat than my fiances '09 Legacy 2.5i.

c-lo Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Damn dude, that is one of the higher mileage LGTs I have heard of. Have you replaced anything major? Let's see...... 1 radiator 3 turbos, each at or around 100k - replaced before anything happened 3 or 4 rear passenger wheel bearings 2 or 3 clutches - single mass is the way to go 1 valve cover gasket 1 oil filter seal + coolant tubes for said filter couple radiator tubes 1 drivers side control arm and end links rear struts new sway bar bushings x 2 in the rear. x 1 in the front new front end links again passenger side tie rods. 3 new rear bumper shells - back into once and low mph rear ended twice. That's it I think. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 That's not too bad considering the mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJuan Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 How's your oil consumption doing, c-lo? My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 fine. I change the oil every 3-4k miles. I usually check it at 2k miles. seems like every other oil change I'll drop down to low on the dip stick. it happens sporadically. recently had the large hose up top that goes into the radiator replaced. there was this brown substance all around it. while he was in there, he checked all my engine seals and everything was bone dry. no signs of leakage (except from that oil filter seal leak) 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdisco Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Mazda 6 looks pretty nice, they claim 40mpg... This car is as close to perfect as you can get for the money. The steering and chassis make the class-leading Toyota Camry feel like a dead fish; the Accord, a dead fish with an ego problemhttp://www.roadandtrack.com/bestof2013/best-cars-of-2013 I'm thinking about getting the 2015 STI if it looks more like the concept. I still miss my WRX just not sure I could deal with going back to those NASIOC clowns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
