tiddy rooseveltSpot the problem
I've never had suspension go both sides at the same time before. That's a new one.
My money is the subframe failed
I was really looking forward to going for a drive today too 
Hard to think through the solution to this.
In the event it is the subframe, to get it fixed would probably mean a long time paying it off.
I can't just scrap it and get a banger because I need adaptions to legally drive, which would probably be about the same if not more than the subframe for what I need.
Scrapping it and being without a car means a total loss of independence since I can't navigate transport most days.

@paulgatling Aye. Damn near whatever happens that's going to be the case I think

@paulgatling ngl I'm a bit besotted with it

I experience the same with a German auto that I drive.. Despite the quirks and rattles that are building up, it is the most incredible driving experience to me!

@paulgatling I went from a 1.4 civic to this.
I always thought I was a bad driver, turned out a lot of it was the car was just very hard to drive. Having a car go in the direction I'm steering in, and as I told it to, was a revelation
@babe
Yes! It is amazing isn't it! The steering wheel does what it is supposed to, as does the brake and the accelerator and rather enthusiastically!
That is a big jump from the civic, especially if it had a bunch of miles/km on the clock
@paulgatling It was a 2000 one, so the old model. The accelerator took about 30 seconds to actually do anything and the brakes worked on willpower alone, I'm quite sure of it.
I did love that car, but I definite like being able to get round corners more

The one thing you can always say about a Honda, they are tough as nails! I was once the proud owner of an '89. I drove the wheels off of that thing!

@paulgatling My dad got a honda estate to about 450k before it crapped out
in miles or km? Either way that thing served its sentence on this planet!@paulgatling Miles!
I can fully understand keeping a car and running it into the ground. It's what I'm /hoping/ to do with this one
@babe
that is a testament to both car and driver! But I'm at the same place (mentally) with my sporty little nugget. I think only either a major wreck, theft or some natural disaster will separate us.
I'm really stoked you like your car in a similar way! Now get those struts fixed up and go warm the brakes up through some twisties!
