- My friend is debating between buying a 2024 Volkswagen R and a 2024 Audi S4.
I had a 2007 GTI, and it is tied for 1st place for my favorite car I have ever owned. That said, what I've picked up from the interwebs is that VW is not longer making quality vehicles, for a number of reasons. Would love some opinions!

- How to prevent bluetooth autoconnect in a 2019 Nissan Rogue?
Hello,
I noticed that everytime I go to a mechanic or someone new gets in my car, the bluetooth autoconnects to their phone. How can I restrict access?
I tried to look it up but could only find how to turn bluetooth off completely.
Along the same lines, does anyone happen to know how to restrict my phone from auto connecting to various cars? I thought they had to ask.
My car is a 2019 Nissan Rogue and my phone is a Pixel 8 with Android 14.

- unmuffled engine noise only in 1st gear
Hey yall, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
When I accelerate from a stop, I hear what sounds like unmuffled engine noise that sounds like it's coming from near the front of the car. It's not a complete roar like the muffler fell off but it's way louder than I'm used to. After I hit 2nd gear (automatic) the noise essentially stops and it sounds normal again. The sound can't be reproduced in neutral. I inspected what I could and the exhaust line is rusty but doesn't appear to be broken. I also don't see any issues with mileage.
Anyone have any ideas?
And if this isn't the right place, can someone direct me to the right place?

- 2023 / 2024 Prius and Prius Prime recall notice
TL;DR: Prius and Prius Prime have a flaw where the rear doors may get water-leak (possibly from a car wash?) and randomly open even while driving. Toyota has issued a large scale recall as well as a stop-selling order to all dealerships.
That basically covers all 5th Gen Prius and Prius Prime vehicles. So until this door issue is fixed, no one is buying that vehicle.
