9th gen corolla. Opinions?
Pigfat compared to previous gens.
Get a 2000-2002 manual trans. Has the updated engine but only like 2300 lbs curb weight.

Only one worth getting is the XRS, but they're pretty rare in the sea of Corollas.
no, the 9th gen corolla has no opinions and nobody has any opinion about it. It is as interesting as a stack of drywall at a home improvement center.
Would you go up to somebody and say "hey do you have an opinion about the stack of drywall in aisle 20".
No you wouldn't because everybody knows what it is and doesn't give a shit.
With the drywall, you buy it and hang it. With the corolla you buy it and drive to where you need to go.
It, like a stack of drywall, is about the least interesting thing you can think of. It only comes up in discussion if it kills somebody do to a manufacturing defect. It does its job usually without any notice. It is perfect in being obscure. It is perfect in being so good at its job you completely forget about it as something in and of itself.
Nobody says "hey i'm going to hop in my corolla and go for a drive". They "i'm going to drive to the store, work, etc etc.
Post your ride, post mods to your ride, shill about how the 5 cylinder is the only true god of engines, bitch about "genuine volvo" part prices, bitch about annoying PCV problems, post post-accident results to your ride, post funny stories, circlejerk how safe your car is and how the plebs are jealous, and finally bitch about those annoying torx socket belt tensioner(s) that strip easily.

sometimes... sometimes i wonder if she'd still be alive if we too my car instead of hers
The new vea engine is not bad and it handles quite good. Liking it so far
Just changed the oil on my 05 s40 t5, rides like a dream. The tires are very noisy though, think I'm buying some new wheels and rubber to quiet it down
Friend bought a 2015 FZ 09 from a bike shop despite him telling them hes never been on a bike. You guys think thats a little much for a new rider? I rode it home and its got some power to it for sure.
im jealous
>>16599713
Does he at least wear gear?
I'd start planning for his funeral in a few weeks.
>>16599713
He won't last long.
FZ-09's have a particularly snatchy throttle so he'll probably whiskey throttle it and crash into something/loop it.
Should've got an FZ-07 desu.
Why are german cars so goddamn superior?

Hello my br/o/thers.
Im the type of person who likes to experience different vehicles (currently on vehicle number 24).
One thing I've never had a chance to experience before is a rotary-powered vehicle.
I'm not gonna get an FD because they're too expensive. I don't want an FC or FB because of age concerns.
So that leaves me with the RX-8; Relatively new, so it has nice accessories and options. It's cheap as fuck to buy and insure, so if I don't like it, it won't make a huge dent in my wallet. It's also somewhat practical with the rear doors/seats.
Could ya'll give me a little advice on these things other than "lol apexseals" and the problems they had the first few years?
Thank you

Rx8 is the most reliable rotary you can buy unless you somehow get a showroom condition 12a or na 13b with fuck all miles on it

What do i need to do to a naturally aspirated engine in order to supercharge it?

>>16599252
whatever cucks
i coulda fucked her but decided to speed off to the next red light instead. stay jelly betas
Did I goof /o/?
My Fusion has 70k miles on it.
I opted to just drain, rinse out, and change the transmission fluid with new fluid, rather than do a full flush with filter change.
$80 vs $300
DID I FUCKING GOOF?
Now im worried.
>rinse
???????
kill yourself, just to be sure
I dont think the ATF had ever been changed or flushed.

I'm fresh outta college and about to make a decent if average salary with no kids and manageable debt.
Do you think it is a mistake to look at something nicer than another Corolla / Civic / etc at this stage? I've driven a 2003 Corolla for at least 6 years.
Want to know if anyone has any stories, warning, or buyer's regret.
>>16599021
>fresh outta college
>about to make a decent if average salary
Pick one OP
Wouldn't hurt to save up for another few months so you can pay for a used car cash instead of immediately getting into yet more debt.
>>16599021
Get something you can live with for a while with minimal regrets while you close your debt and save for your life
It's 1988, and you're a hotshot Wall Street executive. Your boss just gave you a call, saying that you'll be spending a year doing business in Japan. As compensation for being relocated, he said that you'd be able to get any company car you want. Provided it's available in Japan and costs less than ÂĄ10 Million.
What do you get?
shit comes from ass
Top of the line Lexus sedan
I'm not going to fucking check which cars were available for less than ten million yen in Japan in 1988. Where the hell would you even find this kind of information?
How can they fuck something like this up so bad?
>crossover
>4 door coupe
>angry headlights
>gaping angry/hungry grill
can a new car possibly be any more cancerous?

Give me one good reason not to buy a 2017 Ford Mustang™.
Just ONE
there shit son
>>16598776
Mustang a shit. Laughably slow and corners like 8 tons of tractor. Owning a Mustang is telling the world you're dumber than a bag of hammers and you don't know shit about cars. If you need it explained to you, show up at the track with your I-Wish-It-Was-A-Real-Shelby 'Stang and I'll demonstrate how stupid your purchase was with my M3.
>>16598832
its not stupid when it got dat v8 and RWD so that even if you arent fast you can be obnoxious and sideways
If Honda actually makes another S2000, would you buy one?
No one here would be able to afford it and would just bitch about how it's shit because it's no the exact same as an AP1 except better
It was a bad car before. I'm sure it will be bad again.
Yes ive driven ap1 and ap2 multiple times on road and track.
honda has no idea how to make cars like these anymore
on the other hand it's about time they made another since miata nd is objectively superior platform

Gas Turbine Engine Thread.
Quality thread, OP
>>16599445
seems as that people are too unfamiliar with this type of engine...and i thought /o/ had more informed individuals.
>>16598441
Aren't they planning on replaced the Abrams turbine with a turbo diesel?
Hey /o/, I was just in a car accident in my NA Miata. No pictures yet since I had to go to the hospital. Some bitch turned right into me. Broke my ankle.
I have a lawyer and I'm working on getting money, but I need recommendations for a new car now that my beloved Miata is totaled.
Unfortunately these new cars are built way too well for crashes and this is what mostly caused my I injury and totaled my car, so I was wondering if there were any newer cars under 20k that are considered safe even today but also can still be considered "fun." I mean if that cunt was driving anything other than a small Chevy Cruze, I'd probably be mangled or dead.
Tl;Dr - safest newer car (Within 5 years) under 20k that is manual and still fun to drive. Thanks

>getting a car before getting money from her
