Ok /o/, first car thread. Post cars that'd YOU personally consider fun/reliable, etc. Pic related, it's the car I wanna buy but everyone says that it costs a ton to maintain.

Literally and unironically a generic and affordable Honda, Toyota, Subaru, or entry level commuter from chevy/ford if you really want an American shitbox.
I personally started on a full size 80s chevy truck and did just fine by it for a couple years and I've heard of people starting out with classics or sportier cars but you really have to like throwing money at them or not driving them often.

fast, fun, reliable, cheap, easy to maintain
but i don't really care for them
>>
first car for someone to own, or first /o/ tier car?
first car i ever owned was a 94 V6 S10, and it stuck by me just fine. If youre not into trucks, and 90s econobox like a camry or corolla is perfectly fine
but let me say this tho. you DO NOT want an AW11 as your first car

I asked this in the daily bike thread, but nobody answered me. What is this guy driving? Looks cool as heck and I want to research them and maybe see if I can buy one.

So i have to buy a car for uni because the places i have to go are not really near each other. (Europe btw)
I thought about a Renault (Dacia) Duster because of the following reasons:
-it's kinda cheap (10k € + for a brand new one)
-can handle shitty roads
-you can sleep in it (in case of spontaneous festival alarm)
-storage room
So far this is the most suitable car for me for the cheapest price. Does anyone know a better/cheaper/less gas using aequivalent for the Duster?

Oh and what i forgot to mention is that the insurance is not too expensive as well since its not a "beginner car" or a model thats known for being in crashes etc.

Cheaper? Not really
Better? Sure
The build qualiy aint all that great. Plastic on the underside/wheel arches don't like gravel and crack/penetrate very easily, electrics aint all that great with plenty of ignition faults, diesel pumps make a habit of shitting themselves, paint that flakes around the front of the hood and edges of the doors
They are also way too light on the front end for winter driving, the AWD system is "meh" and it feels cheap, even for how cheap it is
A second-hand Suzuki SX4, Toyota RAV4 or Honda CRV is a much better option

>seriously comfortable

My current shitbox car costs me, monthly, ~£100 in fuel, £60 road tax and £40 insurance. I could lease onenif these things insurance included for ~£300pm and pay barely any fuel and no tax.

Americans pay road tax too, only it's not called road tax, it's much higher, and our politicians don't spend it maintaining our roads.
I'd much prefer to have neatly separated taxes that go to specific funds so they're harder to misappropriate

>feel slow as fuck on launch
Does it get better or was I memed into buying a slow piece of shit? I learned how to drive manual really fast, it's easy. It's just when I'm taking off from a dead stop in first gear it takes too long. How do I get a good launch? Before I got the car I was looking forward to faggots pulling up and trying to race me at a red light but now I'm scared because I'll either take off too slow or stall the thing. Other than that manual is fun.

You'll have to learn to be less afraid of dropping the clutch. Learn how to preload the drivetrain if you want to minimize wear and tear from aggressive launches.

Do I really gotta keep my beat up Ranger running forever because there's nothing to really replace it.

I'd love if everyone could boycott modern automobiles and stop buying them, but that would be difficult to coordinate. Why buy a new car, when a used one runs and drives just fine and has character to boot?
