2.0 awd Impreza
Mazdo Bravo turbo diesel.

The Bravo was cool

The power under the hood is reasonable. My dad's is 8 years old, never broken down, had one oil change and water is topped up every two years.

You've changed the oil once in 8 years?

It may be a freak of nature... But it's never needed it. I didn't get it either, but I saw it as it happened, lol.

Lubricating compounds in modern engine oil start to break down after about 6 months. Even if you haven't driven the car at all, lubricating fluid still needs to be changed periodically.

What do mean it "never needed it"? It's preventative, you have service schedules for a reason, engines don't give any absolute signs they need an oil change (though if you check the oil, you'll notice it becomes darker/thicker, if it's an old engine the level may drop- in which case it really needs to be topped up/changed).

Good luck with your engine life lol.

Hey, it's not my car. Lol.

It's doing pretty well, don't ya think?

Not really, 8 years is no time at all for a modern japanese commuter car.

Keep up that treatment and you'll kill it years prematurely.

Again, it's not mine... Also, it's done about 9-10 trips from Melbourne to Northern NSW and back.

And I can't tell dad he's doing anything wrong. You know the type, tell them they're not treating their car right and they get their back up.

I check the Falcons oil every two weeks.

[Jake22]

ahhh the memories of the Learner days....

i learnt in:
1974 LH SL/R 5000 Holden Torana
1974 TA22 Toyota Celica
AU SR Falcon (lol at ford)
80's AE82 Corolla twin cam (awesome little car, revs out to 7 thou lol)
and an 07 Yaris lol

can't drive the Torana anymore thanks to the ridiculous P-plate laws which they brought in because of a handful of imbeciles who can't drive and kill their friends through their idiocy.

 

[globez]

my brothers twin turbo supra or my honda prelude

LOLz i like powerful cars

 

[babikakez]

Mostly a 97 Hyundai Excel, but occasionally my mum's 98 Falcon.
My instructor had an 06 Barina, and that one was my fave.

 

[hermand]

[lala2]

2001 Toyota Echo 4-door sedan. Nice car--the seat is at just the right height for me and easy to drive.

For work I've tried a 2003/4ish Toyota Corolla 4-door hatchback and it was heavier than the Echo and the seat is so low that the wheel's at my sternum.

 

[John President]

I learn in my dad's boring old 1999 Toyota Camry sedan...I've still got another 88 hours to do in it, unless I do a few hours in my mum's 1997 Toyota Camry sedan...
