Celica!

Find me one of them for £350 and I would consider it.

Well get under it and take a look, idiot.

modern ones are big. if you're use to driving sport compacts the interior of the mustang will feel like a truck interior

>are they big
Bigger than an econobox, but in truth they're smaller than you think. For whatever reason the new Mustang looks huge in photos but isn't enormous in person.
>bad at turning
The modern 3 (4 if you count the charger and challenger as separate cars) all turn fine, the Mustang and Camaro actually handle extremely well.
>comfy and practical
Theyre by no means a luxo-barge but they have decent size trunks and rear seats. Charger would be the most spacious. Fuel economy wise they're not very practical outside of America because our fuel prices are so cheap.

>Are they big?
Big but not massive
>Is it true they are bad at turning?
Newer ones handle surprisingly well, older ones aren't great at handling but not as bad as /o/ memes about.
>How comfy and practical are they?
Depends on the car and trim but pretty comfy and practical if you don't need to fit humans in the back seats. When I say comfy I mean as a whole experience, not literal comfort; for example if I was comparing a current-gen Mustang with Camaro the latter's interior is a lot more comfy to me due to its styling and such as the Mustang is too shiny and sterile feeling.

They're pretty comfortable DDs that perform well as opposed to a performance car that can serve as a DD such as a Cayman.

I don't think Heet had anything to do with it not starting.

>>16282358
Well it didn't have this problem before I got gas and put the heet in. The battery is fine it just won't turn over.

Could be a clogged fuel filter

>but what advantage would a medium lenght car have over a shorter, more driftier car?
Other than purely practical stuff like a shorter car being easier to park, shit like that, the main difference comes to wheelbase length.
The Lancia Stratos for instance was so great because its short wheelbase made it handle considerably better and faster than its competitors. It contributes a lot to the size of your turning circle, etc.

>>16282282
Shorter car = better turning radius
Longer car = better high speed stability

>>16282307
Really? So it's just more mass=greater force & higher grip on the wheels? That makes a lot of sense, actually. Cars are part of a very fluid science.

Other than that, still mechanically bulletproof.

daly: [pic related]. 1997 rav4, bent subframe but drives fine. 177xxx km. works great but… when you put it in full lock and gun the shit out of it on a rainy day, it just turns, no fun.

look at it

>>16280758
don't be lazy
read up on it

looks like mercedesu

Why are there so few european seven-seat suvs?
Aside from the Merc GL/S,
BMW doesn't make one
Porsche doesn't make one
VW doesn't make one
Peugeot doesn't make one
Lamborghini doesn't make one
Ferrari doesn't make one
Rolls Royce doesn't make one
What's the deal?

Ford has the fiesta st coupe

>>16280665
Are you trying to say that coupes aren't common historically in america, like seven-seat suvs aren't in Europe?
In 1971 Chrsler had by itself 3 coupes

>>16280670
oh yeah if forgot about that one. But still, two options?

I like the wrap but I hate everything else. How much are they asking for that monstrosity? $20k?

He wants 20k wait im not done. spot what's wrong.

You seriously don't have a friend you can ask to teach you?

>>16280566
Watch manual car videos. Watch how the gears work. Then watch actual instruction videos and larp with your feet under your desk or table or beanbag chair.

Then when you first get into a manual car, don't touch the gas and try to feel the biting point without use of the gas pedal.

Move to Yuropoorland.

The only best source for learning to drive stick is to go just try and drive one. watch some videos if you have no one who can teach you, so you learn the basics of how it works. You have to get in one and drive it. that is the only way to learn.

why is there not GIT GUD AT MANUEL sticky?

that's why you post a mudshark, faggot?

My first thought was mid-engine Camaro

>>16279235
I killed a wheelbearing in my truck and have ignored it for 11,000 miles, if anything, it's less loud now.

Really depends where it is.

It will definitely cause increased wear on your tire along with an uncomfortable and tense ride. Theoretically the wheel could seize but it'd probably take more than 1k miles to get to that point even if your particular car has that potential. At the very leadt, ignoring it will cause very accelerated wear to other parts of the suspension on that corner.

>>16279235

Expect it to be louder by the end of the trip, replace it when it becomes unbearable.
They don't really blow apart until they're extremely worn, like the driver has been hearing the noise for a long time.

>It's only 1,000 miles you'll be fine.
