I agree. I was looking at used for my kids and ended up buying new for a couple grand more. That Elantra is a decent car for the money.

Legend Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Small turbo direct injection engines "can" be prone to low speed pre-ignition. Engine oils low in calcium, 91 oct fuels help alot. BTW LSPI can break pistons. If thats something you and or you daughter are willing to fuck around with, go for it. Otherwise if you may just want to stick with a naturally aspirated non direct injected engine. Edited October 8, 2019 by Legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I did the numbers after selling off my sons jeep. With all the issues i ended up paying more than one of these super cheap nissan rogue leases they offer around here. Issue with the new car is the insurance can add another $100 or so a month.

Have just about 75K on it. It has been good thus far, no issues. Only disappointment is the MPG, straight freeway driving it will pull 30mpg, but any sort of city/highway mix drops that down to 25-26 or worse.My Wife can't ease into the throttle and I feel like we're always filling that thing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted October 8, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) My son has a '13 Focus ST with the 2.0 Turbo, 6 speed stick. He has about 85k miles, 140k kms. No issues with the motor or trans so far. AC compressor and an alternator/battery have been his biggest repairs. He's on the highway or running to the pizza shop up the road and averaging 30 mpg. Edited October 8, 2019 by Blackstar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my kid into a Kia Optima. 100,000 mile warranty. .9% interest for 72 months. She just traded it on a minivan two months ago. It was 11years old and other than a cracked windshield, brakes, and sway bar ends, it was all good. I still remember the day that she showed up at the campsite with a “99 Pontiac grand am. V6. I held my tongue because she was so proud of it. It was the biggest piece of shit car ever. She’s never car shopped without me since.

Front left axle shaft wasn’t machined smooth enough and ate the transaxle output seal but apparently that’s a common problem, replaced under warranty. If looking at MKC though, don’t they offer the 2.3L turbo in there? If so, I’d go with that because 285 hp has to be more fun than 245 hp.

Depending on the year, mileage and what they're asking for it , he might be better off just going with a new Escape or EcoSport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
