Best Car $25,000 Anonymous 2016-09-05 08:37:05 Post No. 15761837 [Report] [View this topic]

hey /o/,

my dad is completely financing a new car for me but it has to be a new car with automatic transmission. He won't budge on this. What are the best cars available for an /o/ enthusiast.

Checked out Mustangs today. The interior was a fucking nightmare. Lot's of cheap plastic parts and the radio had tons of useless buttons cluttering it, but you can't argue with 320 HP for the price.

Looked at Subaru BRZ and WRX, but listings in our area start at $30,000.

Found a Scion Fr-S automatic for $25,000 and Mustang $25,000, already. Look like my two best options.

Any other ideas? Should I look for cheap Hyundai Genesis Coupes? Should I just bite the bullet and buy the mustang? Ditch these two cheap sports cars completely and just get a civic or mazda m3?

i told him this already. but this is non-negotiable. he is not an auto enthusiast. basically he's giving me a free $25,000 car with those two conditions above.

If money wasn't an issue and you wanted 1000hp, would you go RB26 or LS1?

Check for rust, thats the major thing. Otherwise the I6 4.0, the automatic and manual are both great, the stock tcase provides a good Lo.

What are your plans for it?

I had a 97 4.0 5 speed 4x4 that was great. As the suspension aged it got wobbles. The water pump failed at 190k miles. That was the only time it left us stranded. My wife traded it for an 05 Cherokee which is absolute shit.

Hey guys, I was looking for something practical, affordable, and fun to drive, and I'm thinking about getting a Fiat Punto. Specifically, the 1.3L diesel version with multijet. Can anyone here tell me if this is a good car?

Warm Hatch Edition

A thread to discuss about Econo-Pocket-Rockets. Regular hatches are welcome too.

>post your pocket-rockets
>your adventures with it
>your problems with it
>what have you fixed recently?
>what upgrades do you plan in it?
>post anything hatchbacks

>What is a "Hot Hatch"?
A Hot Hatch is a manufacturer produced, performance oriented variant of a standard hatchback, designed for improved handling, increased top speed, acceleration and generally enhance the driving experience.

>Are all Hot Hatches FWD?
No. Whilst most Hot Hatches are FWD, some are AWD or even RWD.

>Isn't FWD shit?
No. Just because you can't get the arse out by stamping on the accelerator doesn't mean you can't have fun.

>Aren't Hot Hatches just for Europoors?
No; with the launch of the Fiesta and Focus ST in the US, it seems like the Hot Hatch is beginning to take off on the other side of the Atlantic, but Europoors definitely have more choice.

>Is the Fiesta ST actually good?
The Fiesta ST is one of the best small hot hatches on offer at the minute; so yeah they're pretty good.

Last thread: >>15691112 (????)

If a Golf GTi is considered a hot hatch and has 217hp/220ps, is that the baseline for what can be considered a hot hatch?

I mean for a C-segment hot hatch.

What the baseline for a B-segment hot hatch? The Fiat 500 Abarth is a hot hatch in that size, but a Chevy Sonic RS is considered a warm hatch.
