ITT post crap versions of cars that are otherwise good.

E30 318i convertible.

E30s are slow, but they're pretty light, and fun to drive. E30 convertibles are dreadful; they're painfully slow and have a bendy chassis. Enter the 318i convertible; it's a bit lighter than the 325 but makes around 40 less horsepower and is particularly garbage when equipped with an automatic. I had the displeasure of driving one of these recently.

I do know the 316, and I would take a 316 coupe or sedan over a 318 convertible

There's your problem.
Also, a convertible 325i can go pretty good if you know how to push it.

Hey /o/, just thought I'd leave this one to you, since you seem lots more knowledgable on cars than me.

I'm looking for a first car that is
available in Florida
Under 6000 USD
Compact (4doors allowed if small, 2dr coupe preferred)
Not too old (upwards of 2006 preferred)
Can't be too sporty in any way (I'm under some strict guidelines here)

With all of that said, have at it /o/

A mechanic told me he could fix my car for $500 and gave me a guarantee and a warranty that it would work.

Of course, it didnt work and the issue came back five seconds into test driving the car.

Now hes saying my problem is a seperate issue and says he cant fix it. Hes also insisting on me paying him the full $500 and wont give me my car back.

What the fuck do I do? Do I call the police? Steal the car back?

Hmmm... If it were me I'd say "come on man you didn't fix the problem so I'm not going to pay you. Now give me my car back please."
Although I wouldn't put it so harshly or he might get mean about it, considering he's holding from you a problematic car and holding it from you over $500.

Almost brought to tears by death anxiety several times that afternoon thinking about all the variables that could have killed me.
There were thick trees on the side of the road. I had a quarter tank of fuel, would I have spun out into a tree from the extra weight if I decided to fill up?
Would my brain still have reacted fast enough if I missed just another half hour of sleep the previous night?
If the dirt road had a bend in it, I would have certainly died. I would have fucking died.

> such and such 4-cylinder has no torque!

torque is basically proportional to displacement so of course a smaller engine has less torque.

it's like complaining that water is wet

Nope, sorry. My stock 2.3 |4 from the late 90s makes more torque than a current day jeep cherokee.

is there a car that fits so many criteria for you but ends up shitting the bed on a major one?

for me it's the s2000. rwd, sporty suspension, high revving engine, not too pricy, but it's pigfat/convertible...why?

>>14596785

Toyota and Subaru need to get together and create a lightweight, RWD, sports coupe. That thing would be a God machine. Someday...
>>
Yes, 1st- and 2nd-gen DSMs.

Dat piss-poor reliability.
>>
if you've driven one you'll realize its not pigfat at all and the convertible part is like a bonus feature you don't plan on using or enjoying but after awhile you appreciate good weather/fresh air in your face.
With that said there is no other car that pulls off hardtops as well as an s2000.
I saw an e36 for sale that was convert. with a hardtop and it was heinous.
Honestly just drive one.
I daily an ap2 with over 130k miles. no problems at all nor do i expect any

Hi fagg/o/ts

How suitable is a Fiat 500 Abarth as a first car? I want something practical for the city, fun, and easy to learn manual on. I don't haul shit, and at most I'll have a bike or kayak.

Thoughts? Are there any other good options for compact/subcompact cars?

fiesta st

most people say the fiesta st is the better car, but the abarth is more fun/interesting
>>
>>14596742
How much larger is it compared to the 500? I need something small.
>>
Wait for the Fiat 124 Spider. Same engine, rwd, manual, a real sports car.

Definately. They last forever and provide infinite fun. You'll have to upgrade some things if you're going to be hard on it, but that's to be said with every car.
>>
Depends on how much you're paying. Really all you want is a strong motor and ok (per f body standards) interior. You buy those things for the motor essentially. Just recently got out of mine. Full bolt ons, stalled auto ls1. Fun car for sure but lacks in certain areas.

Bernie would be on a bus, or not participating.

Rubio would be an ancient nigger-rigged Cuban car.

Trump would be a Rolls.

Cruz would be a Honda Pilot.

Hillary would be a generic crossover, that does nothing right but people like anyways.

Convince me not to get another RX7 /o/

I had an FD for a year last year, previous owner did a dodgy home engine rebuild and the auction guy I bought it off didn't know his shit (and at that time nor did I) but it was still fun.

I could buy it right this time and I have a better idea of what I'm doing.

But the economy, the expense

But the hnnnnggg and the brap

Help me.

I would. I've never owned one. But I've driven them. Cannot match that feel.
>>
>>14595023
Yes please pick up another rx7 to ruin, ruining one clearly wasn't enough for you.

Or you could let someone else buy it and actually know what the fuck they are doing with it to take care of the thing.
>>
>>14595023
Meh I got 19-20mpg in my street ported RX7 when hypermilling it, and gas is cheap and only looks to go cheaper.

And spare parts are cheap compared to other cars of its performance.
Nothing gives the feeling of driving one except like a Viper I guess; car's fucking mad.

Depends if you like doing the maintenance yourself.
