Vancouver cars are under driven and under stressed

They see like 5% of the trauma of LA/NY cars

Almost every performance car is going to have a gotcha. You aren't driving a understressed ratrolla from the 90s that makes 100hp.

E46 - rear subframe, rod bearings, vanos
E9xM - rod bearings, throttle actuators
All Porsches - Bore scoring, especially if it sits a lot
Early AMG 6.2 - head bolts
Audi R8 - rear subframe
Nissan Z - It's a nissan

Does that mean we don't have to worry about PDK/Throttle actuators I haven't really seen any R8's go down either.

We don’t even have potholes to crack the R8 front subframes

Throttle actuators aren’t a big deal - rod bearings are tho.
I wouldn’t worry about the PDK

Buy a Type R. No gotcha there. At least not for spirited street driving LOL. Guess it's not a real performance car.

A lot of Type R has the issue where the engine spins the front wheels.

Affects all generations.

Cooling issues. Though FL5 seems to have fix that. So get a FL5 is the moral of the story.

You should see cars on the island particularly in Victoria. Those cars live the life of luxury being driven by seniors on slow roads with great weather. They make for great used cars.

I thought Victoria cars tend to rust more with all the salt in the air?

Lots of really mint cars over there. It is not saltier than Van really. Old ppl just don’t drive when the weather is bad. Cars never see weather or salt.

Plus, old ppl are easy to take advantage of.
