FF is nowhere near as fun as RR

(note: this is NOT a performance claim)

>>14172927
low revving high displacement v8 engines should only be used in trucks, let alone performance applications.

DDing a bmw in the winter rain on bald summer tyres is genuinely scary, especially at speeds above 70.

>>14172971
What RR do you own?

>>14172927

driving an 01 z28 in heavy rain is fucking terrifying

FWD: "COME ON, GO!"

RWD: "GO ON, GET!"

Beetle, vastly better experience than a ford fiesta (not ST, RS, whatever), for comparison to another econobox.

I'm an 18 year old who's only been driving for a year and I admit I'm not very good

I got into an accident once and it's because I did some things wrong.

I don't know how to drift my MR2 turbo.

Generalizing reliability by brand is retarded.
2009 Honda Civics have the worst interiors in existence.

Holy fuck agreed, bad idea.
Toyota is generally pretty reliable but most manufacturers have a wide spread on model reliability.

>model reliability.
I'll go even further and say reliability is mostly a question of maintenance, a LOT more so than of model.

Nationalistic shitflinging is silly, because each country has good and bad automakers with varying reliable.

Muscle truck.

>>14173238
Sure, the fiesta has more power and better suspension design, but numb electric power steering and FWD make it feel the same all the time, just point and go even when pulling something a little crazy. You know where you stand more with the beetle, when you do something right it goes well, and vice versa. It feels like you're really driving something rather than the getting-towed-around-the-road feeling of the Fiesta.

I once got pulled over by the police for driving with my brights on. He then ticketed me for that and for not wearing my seatbelt.

You have these switches on the side of your steering wheel which indicate the direction you wish to turn.

Oh great, /hg/ escaped their containment thread again. It's good for econobox DDs, not performance/feelsy cars. Your Civic is not a racecar.

This entire thread is mostly just HERE'S WHAT I BELIEVE AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ARGUE AGAINST IT anyway.

If you paid for decent tires you'd have no problem

>>14173166
Except 2015 Buicks because there are literally five in America, and they're on par with Toyota

Also my fr layout experience is a second gen ls400, and I suck at skids, and I've never had the chance to drive manual, but I pretended to have a clutch in a 2012 accord when I drove it alone.

>>14173076
me and my mate were on a 70km road trip late at night during some pretty heavy snow. The car was a fully stripped BMW e46 330ci drift missle, hadlow clearance, locked diff and fucking 1-2mm summer tyres on the rear. Constantly going 40-50mph (80kph), passing slower going SUVs sideways as well as taking every corner sideways. Most terrifying ride of my life
sadly he totalled the car 2 days ago, took some brutal beating really well for the last 4 years though.

Only the stupid ones. I head into portland weekly and rarely have an issue with bicyclists. Occasionally there's the one fuckwad in the middle of a lane while there is a bike lane available, but that doesn't seem to happen too often.

Feel free to name that unreliable lexus model.

Protip: You can't

>>14173307
You've never driven either.

As someone who has driven a few different beetles and a FiST, only a complete retard would call the beetle more fun let alone better.
They are rolly heaps of slow shit that only feel fun for first 5 minutes, after which you realize you're getting overtaken by minivans and are uncomfortable as hell.

Define "low revving". 4000RPM redline? Sure. 6500 or 7000+? That's not really low revving at all.

Personal transportation meaning the car is a way of getting from A to B in one piece and within the legal speed limit.

You don't have to know, just go drive in the rain it'll drift itself.

>>14179121
