Love my lil shitbox.

>>13934347
i would love to see a drag race between a Ke30 60 bhp corolla vs a Subaru Leone, i think that would be a tight race

>>13934390
Funny thing is my Leone is a FWD while shitty I would think its less powertrain power loss. I think they weigh about the same. Around 1800lbs.

I have a soft spot for them. Ex-gf had one. I adored how nimble it was. and just about everything that makes it work is from Opel.

lol. Not really, but they are given a lot of shit they don't deserve. Looks and lack of reputation are why it's my favorite Civic generation.

Aside from reliability, there is NOTHING wrong with these.

can someone explain why a wrangler cant be a good city car?
even the 4 banger has plenty of power for a city.

Shitty em-pee-jees
If you're actually using it as a city car, soft top = basketball americans tearing into it and stealing all your stuff

>>13936222
Isn't the turning radius on them absolute shit?

>>13936243
no, wranglers have a pretty tight turn surprisingly. its almost unnerving the first time you drive one

>>13936220

what does "reliability" entail, not starting in the winter? falling apart on the highway?

genuinely curious, looking to buy.

Mileage and power were pretty mediocre, though.

My compact

>>13936252
They're supposedly known for breaking down in general. Fiat has the worst reliability of any new car sold in the USA. But I will tell you the driving experience on a 500 Abarth must be felt to be believed. It's like a pet puppy that just wants to play all the time. I teat drove one, and immediately wanted to pet it and give it a name. A Ford Fiesta ST is faster and a better car all around for the price, but the Fiat is a better toy. Drive one.

The start stop automatic sometimes doesn't work when it's cold, but I don't know anyone who really uses it anyways. The lights die pretty quick and other small stuff. That being said, even the twinair is fun to drive, it looks good and for a small car it's relatively safe. You can go around corners with squeeking tires and the rest value stays constantly high.
Keep in mind you buy a fiat with the heart not with the brain.

>A Mini Cooper for girls

Now, Miatas at least have their benefits, but no guy would ever drive a 500.

I ironically like the Toyota Conquest Tazz.

It has the worst reputation on the road but I would never say no if I had one. Not spending money on that shit though.

>>13936301
Yes

>>13936211
How hard is it now days to get parts for these things. Seen a few in houston for decent price

>>13936207
My neighbor just bought one. Looks very 3rd worldish. I can dig it

You fags have a containment thread for a reason

>>13936397
Is a Twingo not a compact car?

>>13936267
I ... I am so sorry that you have to drive the saddest BMW ever produced

But hey, atleast the scenery is nice

>>13936376
Not very. By US law, all companies that sold cars here have to produce replacement parts for that market for 10 years, and all the dealerships that used to sell Suzuki's have to carry them.

Same deal with Pontiacs and Saturns.

>>13936311
>being that insecure
I've driven the 500, Jeremy Clarkson loved it. Drive one. You'll fall in love.
>tfw you realize this commercial has the personality of the 500 Abarth spot on.

Americans tend to buy fewer shitboxes than Canadians is the explanation I've heard. I've also heard that Canada is an experimental market for North America.

Why it's still worth it for Nissan to meet the safety and emission standards of a country with 1/10th the population is beyond me.

They would likely sell more in total in the US and our standards aren't that different. Canada pretty much just says "me too" to US regs aside from DRLs.
