What did you trade in on your 3rd gen ?

What didn't you like about the ZR2? I was thinking about picking one up....

 

My dads looking at the 2.7. How much did u love it

 

I traded in my ex girlfriend! Lol!

 

Did she have a lot of miles on her?

 

Way to many lol!! She wanted the ring but I couldn’t handle her family! Easy choice! Haha! Now I got a newer truck which attracts new model lady’s haha!

 

Backstory please!

Traded a 2014 Focus ST. Absolutely loved that car with the turbo and 6 speed. Life and hobbies changed and I needed a truck. I miss that car a ton

 

Nothing. I hadn’t bought a vehicle since 1982 And I’m keeping it.

 

Non diesel if I had to choose to do it again would be my pick. To many issues with the diesel in my opinion. Other than that, suspension is awesome along with the 2 lockers.

 

My 2010 2nd gen

 

I returned it to stock before trading it in but man I loved that car it hurt to let it go.

 

My girl Becky. 2012 Nissan Frontier Crewcab 4x4 SV. She was a great truck.

 

Was the regen cycle the trouble? I almost bought the diesel instead of my Toyota but decided that’s what I couldn’t live with

 

Ouch. Love those S2000s.

Here’s what we traded in when we bought my truck and my wife’s Prius Prime in 2017: a fancy car that didn’t suit our lifestyle at all.

 

That was a lot of the trouble yes. So each fuel fill up, the truck would go through a regen cycle to burn off the diesel particulate matter built up in the exhaust. In order to achieve this, you have to drive at or above 30 mph for like 20-30 minutes straight. City living as we all know is stop light after stop light. Can’t sustain the 30 mph or above for an extended time. So what happens is, it throws a CEL and the only way to clear it is to visit the dealer and they have to put it up on a lift and do a force regen to clear it. Now, if you live in the country or drive the freeway extended periods a lot then it may be fine for you but for me in the city life, it’s a no go. Just got tired of it and went back to what I know and trust. Don’t give in to that diesel hype like I did, not worth the headache that comes with modern diesels. Take care.

 

2018 Accord 2.0 manual 6. Really enjoyed driving that car on the road. Bought it after my 4Runner was totaled- was thinking it’d be nice to have a road car with a manual. It was a very nice to drive here in the mountains. Spirited, even. Ultimately, it was too delicate for my lifestyle and needs.

 

So what did u buy back in 82

 

They gotta start selling those with a manual cycle. Great engines but city
folk just can’t live with that.

 

What didn't u like about the zr2?

 

Traded in my 13 st full bolt on with a deadhook e40 tune, I miss the race car I’ll find pics when I’m at the computer
