People think mx5s are gay just because they are european looking.

>>17502851
They think they're gay because they look feminine. The fucking Abarth 124 looks miles ahead better than the new one.

>>17501692
I know right.
Look how shitty that red thing looks compared to the Miata Master Race.

Dodge R/Ts come from the factory that way. So do corvette grand sports. That Datsun owner is just being a fag.

Its a basic bitch mod, just like every other sticker people put on cars.

Gotta make theirs look """""""""""""""""""unique"""""""""""""

I wouldn't trade my Infiniti G37 for eight Geo Metros.

>>17505916
There are some cars that I would rather have one of than infinite geo metros.

>>17505933

rare car is rare. how many miles? did your mechanic look at it?

gay unreliable understeer pigfat

>>17505080
Pig fat??! What beats it in reliability? Your WRX? LOL! And if you understeer, you suck at driving.

>>17505062
>>17505096
I would say subaru is probably only a little better in reliability, but probably much easier on the wallet in maintenance.

volkswagens are designed not to be taken apart by the end user, so that means maintenance requires special tools (i.e., expensive tools) and/or special labor. Obviously getting a new one would be best as you would probably have the maintenance covered for a certain period of time, but if you wanted to modify it, it'll be expensive and of course hurt your reliability.

So, if you do want one, probably just lease it and don't modify it. That way you can at least trade it up for the new one in a few years.

Buying a shitbox for your first car is good because you'll learn how to fix it when it inevitably breaks.
Think of it as a learning experience. Plus, when it breaks it'll be relatively cheap to repair.

Get a manual if you can and stay away from cars in bad condition.

>>17505153
Im in love with 90s cars, so all of my options are shitboxes.
Iirc all EG come with manual so that's not a problem either.
My main concern is if this particular car is suitable as my 1st (1st as first that I buy, not first that I drive)
Alternatively I would want some recommend instead of this one

>>17505021
Bruv that car is literally the best first car anyone can have. Especially if it's a manuel. Super rugged and easy to fix, has room for people and stuff, great gas mileage, etc... Try to get the Si if possible, if not the DX with a d15b7.

yes

the S and 3 look pretty sleek, the X doesn't

1.5/3

i like the roadster but no one seems to care about that one.

>>17505059

i want a tesla roadster but they're getting old now and rumors say maintenance for them is an absolute nightmare, tesla completely abandoned them.

and yes, OP; the model S handles like shit you twat

>elon's dream of the future is less efficient than an ICE's energy conversion. really, big fat self driving luxury cars everywhere? that takes a lot of space and resources to accomplish the same thing as a train and good urban planning, only worse.

It's a luxury car alright. Not very practical. Not very useful. Never really a vision of the future. Mostly bought to feel smug.

Reality dictates that we are entering the age of the hybrid, skipping personal EVs almost entirely and going to public transit, electric taxis, and motorcycles/bicycles/walking like the rest of the world, eventually banning personal full sized automobiles unless you can demonstrate a legitimate need for one because they take up too much space on the roads and take up too many resources to manufacture and support.

Bigger wheels and tires, but i doubt you want a donk. So lower it just enough and get some spacers if needed. Don't have to go stanceboi slammed. Just enough to where the wheel gap isn't horrendous.

That or get bigger tires, which is what I would do.

Drop it

>Wher ethe fuck are the inline sixes
You mean packaging disasters?

>>17504409
Inline sixes are LONG, and may not easily fit in an engine bay.
My friend's "new beetle" has an i5 oddly enough though.
Probably better to do a V6.

>>17504409
>Wher ethe fuck are the inline sixes
As others have said, inline-sixes are hard to package. Plus they're not as fuel efficient and don't provide significant power improvement over V6's.
