The Mazda3 is a premium econobox, the Golf is a meh, unreliable econobox with zero driver feel. Easy choice
>>

Do you plan to lease or are you going to finance and keep until it falls apart?
If the former, maybe the Golf if you end up liking it better after test driving both.
If the latter, fuck the Volkswagen - you WILL regret it if you buy.
Every VW owner I've ever met calls their car a giant shitheap - even the ones who actually really like them. It'll be nice for all of a year before shit starts falling apart or getting fucked up somehow, someway. At least with the Mazda you're getting second-tier Jap dependability - it might not go a million miles like a 90's Camry, but it's probably not going to make you curse the heavens. The new Mazda's also look really damn good and have really nice interiors.

I don't own one, but I do own a 323 GTX, another rare AWD turbo old JDM car, and let me tell you, if something serious fucks up on it, you're fucked buddy. Besides that its fuckin awesome.

With the way automation has been trending, driving will soon become purely a luxury activity enjoyed by the richest 1%.
Where were you /o/ when you realized you would be an Automated Transit pass holder in 10 years or less?

Normalfags do not and will not trust automatic cars for another 40 years at the minimum, period. They do not consider them to be safe and are terrified they will run over pedestrians, miss stop signs or plow into a wall altogether.
Stop posting this horrifically weak bait.

Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking making this engine naturally aspirated? Such a small amount of torque at such an enormously high point in the rev range is completely unacceptable.

Wife bought pic related for 19k flat, no money down and 0 fixed interest for 6 years. 2017 corolla LE Eco trim. Apparently with the warranty and Toyota care she doesn't have to worry about anything for a few years.
Despite being happy for her and glad that it's a sound investment I could just never see myself owning something so BASIC like a no frills Eco sedan. Anyone else feel the same? A 1.8 liter CVT transmission and backup cam and lane assist, wheres the funext? It's a soulless generic alliance.

Appliance*
And as far as safety goes I mean yea it haseems every fucking airbag and safety feature in the world which I guess is great specially if we have a kid soon like we planned but I think thats the biggest cop out in history to get a boring car. My pops drove us around in a full size bronco and a 80 iRoc Camaro and we turned out okay
>>
>>16365075
Some people just look at cars as appliances mate. A corolla is a good car if you look at them as such.

I am considering buying a coworkers 1993 Lumina sedan with a 3.1 for $800. It has 191k miles. I drive about 20 miles round trip to work and back a day. What are common problems with these cars aside from the interior quality? Or am I better off looking for something else?

looks for something else I had one of those and it was the worst car I ever had
the 3.1 is a piece of shit
then again if its lasted that long maybe its been well cared for and all the problem shit has been replaced
still I wouldnt take the risk
just get a Civic or Corolla

Less than half my current salary, I think I'll stay here then.

>>16364027
You get lotsa money for flying to the events, it's all stuff that is out of the salary
>>
>>16364051
Not for most of the positions, very few engineers go to any events and with modern telemetry and communication that percentage is on the way down.
