Why shouldn't I buy new 2.0 mx-5?
Is there a better sport car that I can buy used (maximum 3 years old) for 25k euros?
>>16728451
What do you primarily want out of it?
Is new/used important?
>>16728458
Spirited driving (touge) and trackdays. Able to drive it in the winter (here Lotus Elise fails because it's MR layout imo).
All cars that are maximum 3 years old and are around 25k euros.
unreliable manual transmission
for the first time in history, automatic is more reliable than manual, at least in miatas
Why didn't cadillac make it?
same reason they didn't make the sixteen.
Cadillac is murrican and GM.
GM needs to make X% on every car they produce, therefore they would have to charge too much for it, and it being a Cadillac, people wont drop megabux on that name. So it is kill.
For example: Lexus didn't make much on the LFA, it was a passion project and to advance tech, that's why they were 400k each. Cadillac will never do that because GM policy kills creativity
Trump could be riding in this, but no he gets a shitty stretched STS

He's actually gonna have a stretched CT6 escalade hybrid
Are they just a meme?
The bikes are good if your looking for cruisers. The do-rag, leather vest wearing riders are the meme.
Japanese bikes are superior in every way.
HD isn't even the best American motorcycle manufacturer.

What is? i don't know anything about bike brands
I'm planning to wash my car as soon as the weather gets a little water, but how should I clean it. Is the automatic car wash enough or is manual washing superior?
Maybe a combination of both even.
What's a good routine to keep the car clean?
>>16727763
automatic with textile rolls
>>16727763
Automatic car washes ruin your shit. You CAN ruin your shit if you use a hose and sponge. Get a jetwash and don't be a faggot. Cleaning a car is ezpz when you use a jetwash and a decent microfibre sponge/mitt. Swirls are caused by dirt getting scraped along your car when you wipe them off.
At least with manual cleaning you can control how your car is cleaned. With an auto you cannot.
>>16727763
Touchless car washes, both automatic and hand wand, dont get cars clean and are a waste of cash. Autos like the one in your pic work very well but dont get all the crap off. Some people say they will fukt your paint up. Ive never had that issue.
They only way to get every spec of dirt off is by hand.
Here's an /o/tists dilemma. When you're looking at 2 cars under different brands that are essentially the same car how do you choose? Pic absolutely related
Pick the one you like better faggot
You drive each one instead of reading about them you goddamn fruitcup
>>16727254
Get the Lotus
Will it get made?
>>16727175
Where have you been?
Mazda already officially said they are not going to build it.

Is Yurope everything wrong with modern car culture?
Should Yuros be banned from /o/?

>SRT had to teach Mercedes engineers what burnouts are
could Dodge be any more based if they tried?
Europe should honestly just be range banned

I believe this is the best controller I have ever owned. The Analog sticks are so fucking nice with no deadzone at all and the pull length of the triggers is the perfect length for throttle and brake control.
memes aside, is it really that bad of a car?
>>16725613
A good car wouldn't be slower than a minivan
>>16725618
It's not slower than a minivan you dumb fuck
Its not a bad car but your boy racer fantasies will experience soul crushing disappointment.
Why are women better drivers than men? Is it because men have testosterone, otherwise known as the "anger hormone", which causes them to behave aggressively and recklessly?
>>16725244
Haha no.
>>16725244
They have cleaner records because they get out of more shit because they have tits
>>16725244
Because women only have one goal in their lives. To mooch off men because they have tits.
Im bored
Post things
Surprised there's no car audio general on this board.
I'm in the market for a new head unit. I have a 99 Explorer with the Mach audio system.
Every head unit I see on amazon is ugly as fuck. I want something that doesnt look like it's trying to grab your attention on the wall of best buy.
I don't need a cd or dvd player. I just want usb, 3.5, blue tooth.
Who makes a quality minimalistic head unit that doesnt have a bunch of ugly lights? I like this pioneer unit but the top comment is a dude saying he wishes he could turn the background to black instead of blue/red/green.

Buy a "heavy duty" head unit for like a truck

Im looking for a single din for my mr2 with bluetooth but cant find any that look good
Wish we had more of these.
My setup:
>DNX890HD
>Memphis 12" Sub
>2 Infinity Red 6x8's front, kicker in back
>200W? Some amp for sub
My only issue is I can only connect music through Bluetooth with this head. It has an aux and USB but it refuses to work for my phone 6 and this is killing me.
I need to figure this out. Broadcasting over Bluetooth blows.
find me a 80s - 90s fastback coupe that I can find with relative ease and no meme tax

A thread to discuss all your issues and hope someone else knows what the hell is wrong with your vehicle.
How Does one tell if their door hinge is bent my drivers side door doesnt like to shut and the door seems to sag a inch below where its supposed to. I tested all the moving components of the door latch and they seemed to move freely. Also is there any reason i should worry about replacing my EGR valve its causing a check engine light however other than that the car runs fine.
My Car is a 1991 Mercury Cougar
>>16719502
The only way I could think to check was to take the hinge off and inspect it, for the EGR valve I would probably put it off since it isn't doing anything noticable, however if I just had some time in a garage some day I'd remove it and inspect whether it needed replacement. A quick thing if the EGR is fine, would be to disconnect the battery for a little while and let it reset the codes and see if the light comes back on.
is the u-scan thing a meme or is it gud enough for an /o/tists
