Damn dude what do you drive?

70's era Chevy C10, 350 small block + muncie sm465 transmission.
If you took the numbers at face value you'd think i'm getting around 6.5 mpg, however its more likely to be different somewhat drastically because the tank shape changes in relation to the float level and nothing accounts for it since it's an analog unit. Haven't done any specific testing yet like purging it and running it empty.
The data in the chart was taken obviously on different days, but with similar drive times along the same route.

Is the Focus a shitbox? It's still a FWD 4-banger NA econobox but It's faster than the Civic and Corolla, and handles better.

It's a new econobox. It's pointless. Get a certain econobox for 3k or get something actually good.

>>16268728
If you're going to get a Focus, make it a hatch. Sedans just look wrong.
The automatics are trash. If you want an auto, buy a Mazda3 and shut the fuck up

No. True patricians' cars are porsches or v8 and rwd.

Could be pretty great if they actually came out with a Mazdaspeed version of the current gen.

Nigga I can turn off traction control in my 2011 Elantra at the push of a button and it's a decent 160hp manual.
>>
>>16268539
I hate modern car design but it started getting especially egregious around 2012-13. Not buying anything after 2000 is just being a poorfag.
>>
>>16268557
>>16268539
In addition to that your 2000 civic only puts out 106hp stock when BRAND NEW, lord knows what 17 years have done to it. You're looking at a 22lb/horsepower ratio to my 18lb/hp.

What are /o/'s thoughts on the Lexus IS 250?
I'm considering buying a used 2012 one that has done around 60 K km's. Fully loaded. For about 14 K cad. Is that a good deal? I'll try negotiating ofc.
How does this car drive? It seems to have decent power.

No. That's the badgewhore lease special. The 250 is only acceptable with a manual trans. otherwise get the 350.

Sup /o/
I'm looking at putting down around $25k USD for a used/certified car. I'm in PA and want something I can handle snow with so I'm looking at AWD. I do mostly highway driving and I want something fast enough to move when I want to.
I'm down to the Golf R and WRX. Any opinions?

Hi, /o/, Eurobeatbabby here, just discovered Running In The 90's and I love it. Can you recommend me some good, catchy eurobeats in that vein? I want to crash my car and die. Thx.

Not really that bad desu. However the 320i engine is hilariously underpowered and the interiors don't really stand out too much from much of the competition at this point.

That's an understatement. Compared to the XE, A4/S4, C-class, and IS, the 3 series interior is pretty bad. It's mostly black plastic.
