So I've been looking to get a new vehicle and I've seen a lot of praise for Subaru. Looking at reviews is pretty pointless though -- every manufacturer has good things to say about their vehicle and bad things to say about everyone else's.
>pic related
The supposed highlights of the Crosstrek are what I'm looking for, but I'd like to be convinced/enlightened.
So, important features...
>on the smaller side, but with enough room (~50 cubic feet) for my shit
>reliable in all expected highway/town terrain, capable of mild offroading
>25-30MPG or better
>nice, modern interior features like rear cam/sound that isn't ass/navigation screen/bluetooth or AUX, as well as good legroom (I'm 6'3")
>$25000 or less
Is the Crosstrek a good option or is something else a better fit for this criteria?

What does /o/ think of this car?
250d (204CV) comes at 60.000€ with chosen accessories. Worth it? If not, then what should I get? (SUV/SAV, available in Europe, at least 170-180CV)

240sx, in the long run it won't be cheap.
Honestly OP stick to drifting in Forza Horizon/Motorsport
>>16689048
miatas are terrible drift cars due to short wheelbase among other things. (the fact that most of em didnt even come with LSD's)
That just a meme thats been spouted and spread by cancerous Haggard Garage.

After living in West Texas having to drive long, straight stretches of road between towns, I now understand why so many people have pickups and muscle cars.
What regional automotive realizations have you had?

2014+ Lexus IS
or
2012+ BMW 3 series
Which one would you rather have over a ten year span? Thinking about buying one to keep for the next decade or so.

The Lexus. German reliability is a myth.

To be honest, I'd love to say the BMW but I feel like after 10 years the cost of repairs would kill me. At least with the Lexus I know I have Toyota reliability and more.

Hey, so sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't know much about transmissions.
What exactly does the '3' and '2' mean? And what do the + and - on the side do?
Oh, and what does that button with the picture of the steering wheel do?

How do I start getting into watching racing? Where do I start? Is there a website someone can recommend or something?

What kind of racing
Do you like road cars, or do you like race cars
>>
>>16686590
I like road cars, but I'm willing to get into watching patrician race cars.
>>
Right now it's like the pre-season for most series so you'll get to go into series relatively fresh, most things are starting next month. There's a whole range of different kinds of racing though and it sort of depends what you're interested in.
motorsport.com has a really handy calendar
gpreplay.com is a good place to pirate vods of races after they happen
before the weekend someone will make a motor/sp/ort thread on /sp/ for the motorsport happening that weekend
/f1/ general is better for single seater stuff but the autism scales are pretty high
Bikes - MotoGP is the best of the top tier international series, even if you're not into bikes. The racing is fantastic.
Single Seaters - If you're gonna watch F1 then try and watch GP2 as well. Better racing, less drama.
GTs - Endurance racing is pretty great if you're technically minded and patient. 12 Hours of Sebring is next month some time. WEC should be pretty good even with spec LMP2s and only 2 teams in the highest division.
GTs - Blancpain GT streams live on youtube and has a great field and a great calendar and good production. Kicks off at the start of April and there's literally no reason not to check it out. There are also a range of regional GT series that can be worth checking out. IMSA runs them in America? Super GT should be getting streamed with english commentary on NISMO's youtube.
Stock Cars - The Daytona 500 is this weekend. I don't know much about NASCAR but I know this is a big one.
