Alright /o/ I'm looking for a car that can double as both my daily driver and something I can race if I want to. So what that means is reliability and RWD, so all American cars are out and most Hondas too. I'm also on a shit poor budget like real shit poor. Doing my own research, I arrived at the Miata NA 1.8 version being a great car to do the job. It's cheap and reliable and lots of people use it for drifting and MX. However, I've also had a lot of people say that they're slow cars and not actually good for what I'm looking for. Is the Miata a safe bet or should I go with something else? (Also, I have a preference towards older cars but airbags are nice for insurance)

you could go for an old BMW M as well

>reliability and RWD
So an F-body or Mustang isn't in your search....why?
>>
>>17828026
Miata is the slow and safe bet, if you actually want to go fast you either turbo it, or you go buy one of the many used cars for a couple thousand extra a short list going like this:
Older m bmws (e30. Etc)
Older lexus models (Ls, SC, is)
F body mustangs
Civics or preludes

>being forced into package/trim options
Why the fuck do car companies do this? If I want nice leather seats but manual windows I should have the option, if I want a manual transmission with the best audio system I should have the option. Instead you are forced into a system of you have to get options you dont want to get what you want. I fucking hate this.

So lads, how do we feel about the new Commodore?
>FF or Focus RS-esque AWD
>i4, i4 turbo or V6
>no mention of manual
Is there any hopes for a sick HSV version? Is HSV even relevant at this point after fucking up so badly with the GTSR W1? And more to the point will the nu-Commodore sell to normies or is the nameplate doomed for good?

What's the best 4WD/AWD road trip vehicle for a couple planning to sleep in the back of the vehicle some nights?
Girlfriend and I are planning a road trip, my first one and her third. There's no way my car would make it and there's also no way we'd fit in the back (it's one of those tiny 90s 'suvs' styled after a dune buggy). I'm looking for a kickass adventuremobile. Budget is under 10k but I'm definitely buying used.

Late 90s GMC Yukon, (not the XL version)

A minivan.
AWD available, plenty enough power, tons of room, either take the seats out entirely or fold them into the floor (chrysler stow-n-go) and put a full size mattress in their place.

Everyone knows about how Civics,Corolla,Accords and Camrys are reliable and long lasting, and their used values reflect that.
What are some good sub $3000 cars that are decently reliable and long lasting, but otherwise have poor resale value and are cheap?

Get a late 90s Camry. They go for $1000. Midsize is cheaper than compact in that range, but the camry is the most fuel efficient mid size. I got mine for $800. It was one owner and a highway car.

I remember it was one of those flavor of the month games, and made countless general thread about it, like 4 of them, one for each week.
It's a cool game, got boring after 2 hours though.
>>
>>17827100
>gets boring after 2 hours
I have 282 hours and I still love the shit out of this game
>>
>>17827100
It did seem to grab some attention due to the novelty of it but there is plenty of things to do and I'm still loving it after 80 or so hours. Plus the dev has been adding stuff pretty consistently.

Nissan Primera GT P10 4x4.
It has a Redtop SR20DE and 4 wheel drive.
It produced 150bhp without a Turbo and only weighs about 1200kg.
It's not super fast, but fast enough to be fun, and it also looks pretty good.
Strap a Turbo to it, and you have a budget Skyline, i would call it the unwanted step brother of Godzilla.
So what do you guys say?

Had a pleb 2.0 121KM and FWD. First car I learned to drive with after I got my license. Too bad I had to sell it. I loved this car.
