The clear choice.
So this might be the stupidest question ever, but should I get a fiesta ST or the focus RS?
The financially responsible thing is to get the fiesta, its about half the price and I've already test driven it and almost immediately fell in love. The dealership near me won't let me test drive the RS without a 30% down payment. So do I get the responsible car I can have fun in or do I buy into the hype and get all wheel drive and twice the power? I can buy the fiesta out right, but I'd have to finance about 13k on the RS
This will be my everyday driver, I have a jeep for snow and going Inna woods, and bike for when I want to go really fast.
>>17170593
Get the fiesta so you don't have to worry about the financing, then later on, since Ford's don't appreciate unless they're Gts, you can get an RS if you want. But that's just my opinion so you can blow it off if ya want.
>>17170621
It's this inner battle between the adult in me and the 11 year old who loves rice, I'm with you in going fiesta as to not have to finance. Guess I'm looking for an RS owner's opinion on if it lives up to all the holes and dreams

They're kinda slow but as a daily they're pretty sweet, the auto trans is really good and they have a Toyota straight 6 so they're certainly dependable

Yeah I'm not about to post my face on the internet.
But I'm 27, average height, underweight, and drive a miata that I basically built from something that was about to be junkyarded (thankfully I got it a few months before "cash for clunkers" was announced).

Completely missed car specific badging like corvette, mustang and abarth (abarth would be god tier). Go recharge your autism and try again.

I did not, if you go recharge your reading comprehension. But yes, I did forget Corvette and Abarth.

Anyone here desperately want to know how to drive a truck or be a truck driver but know nothing about driving stick shift and have only drove automatic cars? i love the r model mack and i would love to drive one but i wpuldnt even know where to begin to shift. i wish i had a truck and just a ton of flatland to drive on to get the hang of it
would i be a failure if i dont know how to drive manuals and went to a truck driver school that is three weeks long? i feel like everyone would think im a pussy
ive changed air brakes a good bit and love doing that sort of stuff, i just really like trucks
I was one of three people who knew how to drive a manual out of a class of 20.
It'd not hard at all, but they're gonna make you do stupid shit like double clutching and down shifting excessively.
Get your license, make easy and good money
>>17176676
would i stand a chance really? thank you for replying
just curious, if youre in top gear like one most eatons i think its 8th gear what dobyou dobif you have to stop, turn quickly or come to a red light? how do you down shift that quickly or can you do like this: press range selesctor down and then just do to neutral and then up shift again when you have to get going again? also what gear do you start in on the road, can you start in 2nd?
seriously thank you
>>17176676
Truckerfag here who has never driven manual before getting my CDL. I still double clutching and downshifting through 10 gears like a retard. They say it's better if you don't know how to drive manual, less bad habits to unlearn. Now I've ordered a new car in manual because I like shifting but have no idea how to drive a manual car. I hope I learn quick because I'll be learning how to drive a manual in my new car straight off the lot.
Where can I get a bumper sticker that says "loli butts drive me nuts"?

>tfw no chance of dying in new sneks anymore
Generally speaking, regarding the drivetrain, what is the biggest concern when buying a vehicle with 150k+ miles? If you found your dream car at the perfect price, but it had 200k miles on it, how would you approach rebuilding the engine to make it last another 100k?
Depends totally on the vehicle in question.
>>17175152
The one in your pic wil chew through its timing chain guides before 100k and will have to be pulled to fix that shit, since the timing components are at the back.
>>17175176
Is the B6 S4 the only model with that issue? What about the RS4/6?

I'd say they have already risen. Germany is doomed, they might actually have to go back to making good driver oriented cars.

Nah, I would say forested foothils.
The biggest companies are in cities and pay the most so you can actually afford a nice car
No, this isn't another "im buying a v6 challenger you mad bro" thread. I am actually buying one of these 2 cars and want some input.
The 2016 Camaro 1LT V6 has 29k miles and they want 17.5k (Auto)
(I'm getting auto on my next car, not dealing with stick bullshit in traffic.I drive a manual right now and wont miss it and new autos are statistically faster anyways)
The 2016 Mustang ecoboost has 13k miles and they want 19.9k (Auto)
Budget is 20k, pros and cons
Camaro:
+335hp - 15 more than Stang
+V6 sound - 4cyl Stang sounds pedestrian
+Lighter by over 150 lbs
+0-60 at 5.1 - Ecoboost average is 5.5
+1/4 in 13.6 - Ecoboost 13.9
+N/A V6 reliability
-Visibility of a ww2 bunker
-Styling is a little over the top
-interior is bland as fuck
-Tiny aftermarket support for new 3.6
-Very little tuning and performance mods
Mustang Boost:
+320lb/ft - Camaro is 287lb/ft
+Styling exterior and interior
+Comfier and roomier interior
+Fuel economy
+Huge Aftermarket
+Big tuning potential
-Heavier
-Less HP
-Slower lap times, 0-60 and 1/4 times
-More Pricier than Camaro
-High Strung 4 cyl turbo unreliability
-New body coming out in a few months so depreciation
-Shitty Sound
From my research the Camaro is objectively better on paper. Still cant get over the fact about no tuning potential and visibility and styling. Still 50/50 on both cars, wat sai u /o/?
>>17174039
Paper stats matter very little. Pick which one you like more holistically. Sounds to me like you prefer the mustang. Looks don't grow on you so don't make a mistake and buy the Camaro because it's slightly faster (they're both pretty slow) but hate the way it looks and the visibility.
>>17174039
Well, before i give input, why not a v6 stang?
>>17174054
Cars are far from slow. The 2011 Camaro ss did 0-60 in 4.8 secs while a 2016 V6 does it in 4.9-5.1.
Both the ecoboost and V6 camaro are as fast give or take as mid-2000's V8's. Tech and manufacturing processes are giving these cars so legitimacy as sports cars instead of rentals.
Both cars are most likely faster than 98-99% of the daily traffic you will encounter anyways. Slow car territory is more BRZ, 0-60's and 1/4 mile times on both of these cars are almost the same if not faster than Firdbird WS6 and 4.6 ford stang gt numbers and corvette C4.
idk why /o/ has such a high standard to call a car "fast" when most of them drive civcs or camrys
