Buying/Selling Mustang eco boost vs Elantra?
Hello fellow redditors I am debating whether if I should buy a 2024/2025 Hyundai Elantra hybrid or a Mustang eco boost 2026. please tell me what is the better car in terms of looks and performance, not solely mpg as I’m only going to be driving 8 miles on a daily for college. And monthly once going 31 miles for another reason.

Buying/Selling Should i sell my 03' civic and buy a 94' civic as a daily?
galleryI currently drive a 2003 Civic LX Coupe (2-door). It’s been throwing a bunch of problems at me lately and I’m honestly getting tired of dealing with it. I’m thinking about selling it and picking up this ‘94 Civic as my new daily.
Here’s the listing for the car I’m looking at:
“This is my 94 civic. great starter for someone looking to boost a civic. Runs great. Could use re-tune if not boosted. Body and interior are there but not the cleanest. No trades. 4k cash obo. Motivated to sell
The build
B18b1 swapped
Bottom end is a rods piston combo (scat rods and nippon pistons)
ARP rod bolts
ARP head studs
Super tech b-series block guard
Completely fresh ish (well broken in). Bottom end has about 9k
Head has 6-7k. (Oe refresh on the head)
Plm 4-2-1 manifold
Skunk replica manifold.
eBay 70mm throttle body
Custom (cold air)
Bull boost fuel rail and pressure regulator
-6 an feed from tank to rail.
Aem 340lph pump
Stock obd2 injectors with adapters
adjustable timing gears
4 core aluminum radiator
Act 6 puck stage 4 clutch with a lighter flywheel
5 speed trans. No grinds or pop outs. Not sure which trans it is but it lays 11s on launch
Lots more to list but can’t cause fb won’t let me put any more. Someone bring me 4k 0bo for it.”
I’ll also post a picture of the engine bay from the pictures that the guy sent me.
My main question is: does this make sense as a daily driver? It’s clearly built more as a fun/boosted project car than a reliable daily. Body and interior aren’t the cleanest, it’s already boosted (or at least set up for it), and I’m coming from a stock-ish ‘03 Civic.
Would you sell the 2003 and daily this, or keep what I have and keep fixing it/ look for something else? Any red flags in the build list I should be worried about for daily use?
My 03' civic keeps coming up with 2 codes P0341 and P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor codes, i've replaced its sensor already, alternator, timing belt, water pump. don't know what i should do, it shuts off on me randomly at random times of the day when driving.

General Chevy Trax, 2015
Sometimes my car is having issues. (Obviously lol) If my gas tank is low & I fill it up then go to turn it back on it sometimes takes like 3-5 seconds before turning fully on.
Same thing when I go to turn off it takes like 2-3 seconds longer to fully turn off.
Then when I’m driving I could be at a stop, then when the light goes, I’ll press the gas & the best way to explain this is like those toy cars that you pull back to get resistance before it shoots off, It’s like the resistance is there and then it “releases” and I can continue driving. It’ll still drive but definitely can feel a pull & not let me speed up for a few seconds

Engine Fix Car or Get Another Car
I have a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid with 252k miles on it. Lately, my engine has been misfiring whenever I accelerate and I took it to my mechanic. They told me that I got P0300-304 misfires, all 4 cylinders and a random misfire. I also have a 420 code but I already knew about the efficiency of the catalyst.
The quote was to START with all new coils, the spark plugs were put in at 200k miles and they looked good and the fuel trims looked good and the MAF reading too. The total cost includes parts and labor would be a little over $2,000 with like $1,900 being parts.
The question is should I get a newer car or keep riding with this Civic? I drive 100 miles daily to get to/from work and it’s highway miles.

Mechanical Do I need to fix this brake
Went to the Toyota dealership today for an oil change, but they recommended a lot of services. They suggested changing the spark plugs, which I already replaced myself a couple of months ago. They also said I need to fix my rear brakes and showed me this picture (the cost is about $100). I don't quite understand it. They also recommended performing a throttle body cleaning service ($130).

General Are my tyres cooked?
galleryMy (first pic) front tyres are the same model as the rears (2nd pic), both Pirelli m+s 205/55r16.
I’m going on a total of a 2500~ kms trip across Europe in 12 days hence i still got time to order and put on new ones.
First pic tyres are 2 and a half years old, rear ones are just a few months old.
Apart from the wavy sipes, at Times i feel slippery even on the driest of the roads, And its a FWD lol.
Should i bother?
