The 2017 Lancer is the same as the 2007 Lancer, uglier fascia aside. You think I'm exaggerating, but I'm really not. I had a 2009, my friend had a 2016, they were pretty much the same car (except I paid half for double the options).

20 out of 20 on C&D's list of compact cars for a reason

Tbh famalam, they're pretty comfy, good on fuel, cheap, and reliable.

Only thing is they have a the shittiest interior of any modern ecobox.

>comfy, good on fuel, cheap, and reliable

This describes over half the cars in the segment though. Why get this over a Civic/Mazda3? Even a Focus is vastly better as long as you get it in stick shift (autobox unreliable af)

both

Yeah both

Thank you Anon

Did you buy a huge pile of shit and not expect stuff to break, or what happened?

>>16110619

Seriously considering Treequinox if it happens again

Fun Fact: about 2/3 of the newer Sneks I see are driven by black dudes. And I saw an I8 earlier this week with a nig driving it but he was probably a Dolphins player or something.

Sammy's in my area (Colorado) start at about $2500 (if it runs) and go up to $8-9000 if lifted, locked, winched, etc. 5 sounds decent if it runs well, has decent mods, and/or has low-ish miles (100k or nearby).

>>16110433
given the sheer age of it I think I might be able to talk him down to 2.5k if i pay him 50% up front in cash. I doubt it'll sell because my area is more jeep country so theoretically I feel my odds are good. shame I still have another tuition payment to make first.

speaking of mods, what's the strongest engine that could be mounted in one in regards to power/weight? the things are so light I could probably bench the front axle

>>16110366
Yes, there is much less to fail in a manual. No maintenance necessary minus fluid changes every 30-60k and clutches when they wear out. Unless the clutch is already on its last legs you're unlikely to fuck it up to where it's undriveable learning. What wears clutches out is slipping so unless you hold the clutch pedal in the middle for an extended period of time you're not gonna hurt it.

Don't worry about stalling, it doesn't hurt anything and everyone stalls while learning. Hell it even still happens to experienced drivers occasionally.

Autos can be finicky, especially if you get a bad one that wasn't maintained. Fluid changes every 30k and make sure they're topped off regularly, and that the fluid isn't dark/black and/or smells burnt.

Cars around 200k are more than likely going to need lots of things. The hooptie lifestyle is a special one, if you don't care about the car and keeping it for a while, find one that works/doesn't need much, drive it until it breaks, and buy another for less than it would cost to fix it.

Don't only stick to craigslist, there are other websites you can watch too to find exactly what you want such as autotrader or cars.com.

you can get an alright F150 or ranger or S10 or any american sedan from the 80's or 90's for less than a grand easy depending on where you are.

In detroit you just need to avoid buying from a melanin enriched man of the community.

I would agree worth kit Kat on this. If you don't mind a bit of a drive there are loads of cheap cars in Ann Arbor.

You can change settings in CL to owner only and search for specific transmissions. After that it's just an issue of finding ones that aren't too rusted out or beat to hell.

Mitsubishi lancer

>>16110217
i've been looking at the jetta, too
haven't found much in terms of reviews for the new models


>>16110232
who buys a new car as an investment?

>>16110207
Better drag coefficient than the z32 and it looks kinda cooler to some people. Other than that completely inferior.
Although I found out recently that they could come with a rare 200hp rb20det. That would make a pretty cool daily

>>16110576
Genuine interest, why do you hate Nissan?

>>16110720
Done a ton of research on them as far as chassis, suspension, braking, engine, etc...
All of it is of poor quality and design.
Yes i have owned a nissan. I can prove it too. Was a massive pile of shit.

>>16110131
Wikipedia. Just keep clicking the blue words until you understand all of it.

Their cars may be better than mine specs wise but mine makes me happy, does what I need in a car and is reliable, and that's all that really matters.
