Budget?
If cheap as fuck, Chevy Trax can be had cheap, and cheap to insurance, okay MPG
Middle range, (small) RAV4, Venza, Highlander (big)
Cx3,cx5,cx7 look alright, but the Toyotas are superior in every way.
Rich? X5 or GLK or G wagen

My mom has a Ford flex and hails hay and other farm equipment in it. It's perfect for a family of 5 plus room for doggos and camp gear

Is Toyota starting to get better styling? For example the Predator look for the front fascia of recent Lexus was really, REALLY awful and the pinched look of recent Corollas/Camries was also terrible. I hope that designer got fired.

So I'm thinking on change the color of my subaru, I'm looking for the classic blue
I know it's called wr blue and some people say it's blue mica, however I don't have the factory exact blue, I'm wondering if someone knows if the Mazda/Ford starry blue mica color is the same tone or if it is different?
I ask that because it's the closer I've found

Hi, I'm trying to find a car that would suit my tastes and needs as my first car
i wanted an E28, a Mercedes 190D ( diesel is cheaper where I live :( ) or a porsche 924 but insuring them would cost way too much, so I've been looking at the most common shitboxes in my area, but the only car that I think could be fun is the Renault Twingo 1.. ( there are literally thousands of them for sale for less than 1k in good condition, and it only needs 4 liters per 100km ) but hatchbacks tend to repel me and well the twingo is ugly as fuck ( in my opinion tho ).
What should be my first car? I'm open to all your advices ( i only have a budget of 2K€ or less though ) but I'd prefer to buy a sedan, + I wouldn't care about it being a diesel or gasoline if it doesn't need too much gas.
thanks for your help :)

the plastic just looks cheap, the interior looks weird, and its shape make it look like a toy, but that's just my opinion, it doesn't even look exotic to me :( And I heard it was a nightmare to drive a Twingo on the highway ( maybe because it wasn't made for this purpose lol)

Was checking out some cars and noticed that the wheels outer rim had some small metal blocks bolted on to them?
What sort of repair is that for?
should I be worried if I see that?

you mean the counterweights to balance the wheels?
>>
>>16422407
no they are to balance the tires
and you had better hope your valve stem and cap does not weigh more than the metal it displaces (not that it matters)

Later today I'm going to look at a 2001 Honda prelude. Anyone know or have any experience with this car? It's an auto however the trans was rebuilt three years ago according to the owner. I'm planning to have it checked at a mechianc shop to be sure it's in good/decent shape and no major issues. What should I look for? Any advice? Is it a good idea to buy this car at all?

honestly pal, just save yourself the time and headache and just opt for the standard or buy a different car. it's just not worth it

The automatic fucking sucks in Preludes. Literally manual or bust

Good car, but what like the others said, get a manual

The least expensive and fastest option. Since a can of paint and tools is going to cost 50 dollars and is no guarantee it's going to look good or work.

Well, assuming the wife didn't ride the clutch to shit its not that bad.
not a bad deal on the car considering the Subaru tax
My opinion learning to drive manual by just buying a manual car is the best way

Get a Twingo
>>
>>16421986
depends on where you live.
if repaired and maintained they're really GREAT first cars, especially with all the rust prevention from factory. I've never seen a 4 with bad rust yet.
If you live in Burgerland tho, I guess you better get something Japanese or Burger made.
Mexican Golfs are known to have all kinds of problems.
