I know right i don't have to get under the car and squeeze my hands to remove the filter.

***** My sister owns a 2000 civic lx. Its not bad at all for me.

Lol

Knights2theEnd my 07 accord is the biggest pain in the ass to replace the filter. It is hidden on a top of a weird metal bar, and when you try to take it off, your hands goes all around stuff till you loosen it up and oil goes everywhere because of its angel. Everytime, I cry everytime.

Knights2theEnd Changing oil in it is very easy. My ex-wife has a Nissan Altima. Changing the oil in that was terrible. The oil drain plug is located directly above a bunch of brackets and crap. You have to put in a channeling system to direct the oil away from all of that. It's terrible.

At least you dont have to do one on a porsche

I play car mechanic Simulator, so I can relate.

+Sunde2000 is that on steam?

SoSickWidit Yeah!

You still have to get under the car to remove oil pan bolt. Anyway if you are a mechanic you use lift to lift the car as much as five feet or more, so why are you complaining?

Nah

Happy to hear it! I like it because it looks exactly like how you'll see the interior.

Your account name is the best GT-R EVER, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

TopGear is Best Thanks man!

Regular Car Reviews does this too, although his reviews are anything but conventional.

@@EngineeringExplained not exactly true, but it is a wider view so you can see more

Really bad

Uncle Iroh why

@@dvo23k why

The base model sucks ass lol

@@terrabnadia1793 Personal opinions obv

There's an update the fixes the problem

Subscriber what update?

What update?

Subscriber what update?

You could have realized it yourself if you watched the RPM closely, or by feel. If the car still feels like it is accelerating or having power being put down to the wheels, that's when you know, the throttle doesn't total follow your inputs.

Thanks, man!!

Man but that must suck. Hope you can find a way to tune that. There are some aftermarket modules that you're supposed to plug into the OBDII port to reprogram the ECU or something.

yea i just got my car a week ago the rev hang is really annoying

***** How would Subaru know? And what about buying another ECU and reflashing it and putting the stock one back when you need to claim the warranty for something else?

Adam West Thanks! Providing scratches to all the automotive itches folks have!

i like sleek lines. i felt the old scoop looked like an after though just slapped on last minute. this new one looks to have the same airflow, but less intrusive to the eyes. the other lines of the car dont really look wrx'ish... strange. anyways, i was always an evo fan... till they mucked that one up. goofy looking now. again, these are all simply my opinions.

Same here I also think the new one looks better, but I also like the old one too, but it doesn't look as nice.

I had a 2004 I love that scoop

themomopan Could you share a link referencing this update? Would love to read up on it.

themomopan How do you apply this firmware update to the car?

Tim Davidson You have to take it to the dealership and have them flash the ECU

Jay Sanchez have you done this? if so - where and how? did you call them to explain?

themomopan I have felt the 4k dip as well. Was this addressed with a dealer flash?

Yep, lots of win with the manual transmission.

Engineering Explained loving these reviews, I wish you could review the exact spec of my car but they're pretty hard to find

Cobb ap can help with that. Check out a cvt model. Nows the time to grab em. Never know what the next one will look like or run like.

jbugz209 Lucky man, in Australia base model is $44000 (A$) drive away. Sob.

Elizabeth Anderson At least in Australia you can get skylines easy.

25k?? Where do you live exactly? I live in Ontario California, currently looking for a 2015 or 16 wrx

I second that request

For me, I watched tons of vids how to drive manual, but when I finally did it, It was still challenging. Thats something you have to learn by feel. I suggest learning to drive standard playing a racing game with realistic car controls

Brian Williams I bet you're lying about that.

SubaruWRXfan already made probably the best all around manual guide I've seen. When I first tried it I only stalled once. I didn't get more than an hour of practice though. Really, it's just practice. Driving a manual isn't really that complex (especially with a 5 speed), but driving it well takes a solid month of daily driving and using all the techniques like downshifting/heel and toe. My advice is to buy a Miata or a Civic (depending on your tastes) as your 1st/2nd car. Those cars have great gearboxes. Now, simply drive it for a year and you'll be able to drive any manual car on the planet as long as it doesn't have those ridiculous Stage III racing clutches or 7 speeds.

Or you could just learn to drive a manual in the first place. In the UK you have to take you're driving test in a manual transmission to get a full license. If you do your test in an auto it doesn't permit you to drive a manual car.

CCTV9 Because it sucks, its not a mercedes

I dont like it tbh ... my main problem is sometimes I wanna be an asshole towards the car and turn on the radio without fully turning the car on, It is basically sort of impossible on a starter button car. But the keyless entry is awesome.

Well keyless start is a high end feature.

keyless cars are easier to steal and to turn on the radio you press the button dont hold and dont press the brake

It is.

Either one of y'all wanna elaborate on this? I thought the same thing, but more from a standpoint of ignorance...I figured there has to be something that can be done to fix that, but I know neither what causes it or how it would be fixed.

ricstars95 it's a fairly luxurious car but I wouldn't take it as a family sedan because it would be a bit uncomfortable

@@scorp5526 my friend uses it as a family car bc he wasnt allowed a charger srt hellcat

Absolutely, I'm very new to this and don't have experience driving all that many cars - obviously this is a learning experience and I always aim to improve with time. What about modern cars do you not find the engineering acceptable? Aside from the trend of everything getting heavier or staying heavy, almost all cars are more powerful, more efficient, and more comfortable than predecessors. Reliability requires time to pass to understand, but we have the tools and knowledge available today to make things last a somewhat predictable duration. That's on the consumer, as marketing teams know how long people keep vehicles and want them to last. If people only buy the most reliable cars, all others will follow suit. If they don't, it tells marketing teams it isn't a priority, and it's an opportunity for a cost reduction in this incredibly competitive market.

Engineering Explained I am sure you do, and wish you the best of luck to succeed in doing that. You're on the right path. Now, I believe that on the surface, you're right. Cars today are built to last reliably for 4 years or so, and generally, they will. Then, you can keep driving them till they're 7 to 10 years old, but they just fall apart in those years. I also get, that it is a logical decision to cut down on build quality the average consumer doesn't see. But I don't think its right, not in cars for car enthusiasts. When you look closely at cars, with your engineering eyes, and ask yourself "Why did they do it like that?" The answer will almost always, with the trend going up, be "Because it was the cheapest way to do it that enables it to just make it, not regarding anything else." Just look closely at the door hinges of modern cars. If you're interested, I can send you a picture of the either billet or forged aluminum hinges on my Audi, and I encourage you to take a look on the ones of newer models. Take a look at the leather quality and ask yourself "What will it look like after someone sat on it for 120,000 miles, and then again after 200,000." All those little things won't upset the average consumer, but it upsets me to a point where I can't name any modern car that really excites me. And the worst thing is, that the few examples I named are just small problems on the surface. If you've ever taken apart an old Porsche and compare it to newer ones you will find that all those little faults can be found in almost every single component. And all those things lead to the instances of things going wrong due to bad engineering I saw happening in the past: -water pumps with a plastic pump wheel. The temperature duty cycle tears them apart over the years. They used to be all metal till roughly the 2000s, they aren't anymore. -Injectors for direct injection. Used to be a Diesel problem, now they're in every car and they will break, which by itself is fine. turbos will too. But they need to be replaceable. Jeep/Mercedes has managed to build it in such a way in their Grand Cherokee, that you can't get the last 2 out (V6 Engine) without dropping the entire engine. You might argue weight distribution, but if the sheet metal of the body would give just one more centimeter of clearance it would be fine. That happened either on purpose or they just didn't think about it. -things like the glovebox lock/lever assembly. Just look at one, if you care about nice mechanics this thing will hurt you. And they do break and it's a huge pain in the ass to replace. -What I said about brake calipers earlier, especially the ones with the handbrake engaging the main brake piston. You need a tool to reset them, its still a pain in the ass though, and over time it draws in water and seizes, making a brake permanently engaged, causing it to overheat till the brake fluid boils. And then you notice. Ask me how I know. -A taxi driver told me about his brand new E-Class. The main wiring harness rubs on the despicable 2l diesel engines cover, causing the insulation to fail after just 23,000miles and 4months. In a taxi, not an abused vehicle. He was lucky, his cars dash just lit up like a christmas tree and nothing worked anymore. His colleague hat the same thing happen to him. It engaged the Presafe brake, causing the car to brake to a stop abruptly, with a customer in the back, on a freeway. It was repaired on warranty, but instead of replacing the whole harness, Mercedes just soldered it back together and insulated it with electrical tape. He said that the car already starts having issues all over the place and is seriously worried about his livelihood, because a car just becomes profitable after 125,000miles which he is sure it won't reach. They used to keep their W210s till way over 300,000miles, and then sold them to eastern Europe or Africa. -all the little plastic nobs instead of screws holding everything from panels to brake lines in place. You basically can't take stuff apart without breaking it, and even after you replaced the knobs its hard to put it back together without it looking worse than before. Mechanics however don't like to replace those things, so they often just don't put some of them back in when they're hard to see. Like the ones on the underbody cover of my Audi. Again, ask me how I know. (hint: I lost the cover at over 100mph. Hope it didn't hurt anybody.) I could go on and on here, but the real message is this: If you've become sensitive to those kinda things, you can feel them. You hear and feel every vibration of those diesel 4cyl.. The start stopp system doing its thing causes you to imagine a countdown of the duty cycles it's designed to survive before a component breaks. Every time you open the door, you check for the hinges and get disappointed. The paint is like an orange peel if you look closely. No matter how far you go upmarket, no matter how much you polish because it's just not possible to make the water based paint smooth. The base models of the premium makes aren't any better than the VWs and GMs and what not, in the way they drive and sit on the road. Sure, they kinda handle, but it just doesn't feel good. What I am saying is, that the myth the manufacturers build on, the premium feel they talk about, the quality slogans like "the best or nothing" Mercedes has just isn't reflected in their new models. They're building on people that have no clue about engineering or a general overview of the cars that are and used to be out there. "It's a BMW, of course its well made" is all that's left. And the worst thing is, that they're winning because especially people in my age group, even though I'm in an engineering-students social circle, know and care less and less about how a car drives and more about how you can hook up the latest smartphone. It would be really nice to see a youtube channel that at least in some way acknowledges that. I know I might be a little extreme here, but I am surely not the only person that feels like cars have become soulless appliances and that is struggling to find a car that isn't.

This makes me think about sustainability and the massive economics of humanity. The shear number of things produced has increased exponentially with the population of the earth. Simple things we take for granted like beef or water are becoming a problem to produce on such a massive scale. Even if everyone wanted free range eggs, there literally isn't enough farmland to provide the billions of eggs that we demand as a population ergo we must cut corners. In a way, I think we have to "lie" to ourselves to keep our self esteem up hence the marketing departments for car and toy and whatever manufacturers. If engineers spent their time meticulously designing every bolt or joint or nut, then we would then be forced to sacrifice something else weather it is intentionally or unintentionally. Let's say the time it takes to design a car takes 100%. You spend 30% of the time designing the chassis, 20% of the time on the engine, 20% of the time on the interior and 30% of the time testing. In ordered to add in something you must either take away from one of the factors, like the interior or the engine, or you have to increase the commutative time it takes you to design a car past 100% which will result in you coming in late, over budget, or both which results in a more expensive product. My point is that older style quality products are becoming extinct because the supply can not realistically possible to keep up with demand if we keep doing things the old way. It is already impossible to produce cars to any feasible volume built the same way as we did in the 80s 90s or even the early 2000s. Anyway, I'm no internet hero or engineer. Just my two cents on my philosophy of humanity lol

exitwound45 Out the other side, like the air does.

He has said in previous videos that he is an engineer, although I don't think has disclosed what company he works for, for obvious reasons. I don't want to sound too sure of my self here, but I /think/ he is a mechanical engineer.

SuperKickAss145 Guitarfollower22 He no longer has a job besides KZfaq.

KZfaq full time these days. Sink or swim! Loving it for the time being. Used to be a test engineer for a forklift company.

Engineering Explained thanks man, didn't wanna intrude into your personal life but i appreciate the response! :)

Engineering Explained can younpost a video on driving manual for beginners and stepping on the throttle for 0 to 60 without burning the clutch. thank you

That's kind of counter intuitive, isn't it supposed to be: "To be smooth you have to be slow"? That's basically how it is for this car.

thaik56 If you rush a shift, you end up going slower than if you had just shifted slowly. The longer you are out of gear= less time accelerating.

You just said it yourself, if you shift slowly, your car is longer out of a gear therefore less time accelerating. But if you rush it, although it may not be smooth, you're still in the next gear faster than if you were waiting for the RPM to drop down before engaging into the next gear. Not smooth shifting doesn't necessarily mean not accelerating properly.

thaik56 And you still fail to understand how it works. No point in explaining it again if you fail to understand it.

What you said doesnt make sense lol

+J Wilson Awesome, congrats!
