I want to buy a brand new car and baby it/daily it for 20+ years until it gives out. It needs to be somewhat fun, reliable, manual, and practical enough to use as an only car.

What cars should I be looking into? Pic related is the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Tarbo-mazda won't last.

You need NA engine, bigger and less powerful, with average or crappy mpg.
You need NICE suspension and least of luxurior gimmics. Aircon okay, fancy german climate - not okay.

Would a Miata last a long time?

Pretty impractical, but it just might be enough. If I ever get a gf, she'll probably have her own practical econobox.
>>
>>14572201

Yes goy, get that new car, your old one simply won't do!
>>
>>14571967

Any current mazda will be fun If you like being slow.
>>
5 series with the biggest displacement and least electronic "extras" you can afford. It's the ultimate "compromise car". Just be sure to get it with a limited slip aswell.
>>
>>14572305
You still see plenty of NA Miatas around, the question is are you willing to maintain a car for that long?

Why would you say this?
I know a guy running a mazdaspeed 3 over 200k miles now. No problem

I don't think that would last 20 years with any expensive repairs and they aren't even that nice

Buy one of the last 9th gen civic Si sedans on the dealer lot and drive that relaxed but peppy NA motor into the sunset

This. Honda makes some seriously long lasting engines
>>
>>14573341
I don't like any new Honda's. Maybe if I found an S2000 AP2 that had very low km and wasn't hooned to shit?
>>
>>14574466
S2000s are rally nice and I would definitely recommend picking one up, it's a car to keep for life

There was a trip fag here that has an S2000 and Ferrari 360 o believe. He had an NSX which he sold for the Ferrari, but he said the S2000 is the most fun out of all 3 and it's the car he's not going to get rid of
>>
>. It needs to be somewhat fun, reliable, manual, and practical enough to use as an only car.

I daily the new miata, yeah it's impractical as hell but I can deal with it. If you have friends/family with a bigger car to move heavy stuff it's no problem at all.
>>
I am voting for Subaru Legacy 2.5 or a Mazda 6 also 2.5
>>
>>14574466

S2000 are really cool but they're horrible to DD, you'll regret it if you intend to DD.

Where do you live? Brand new cars on the lot have surface rust and pitting already where I live. Even if the engine, drivetrain and electronics don't fail, which is a longshot, it's likely going to rust away to nothing within 10 years. Stay the fuck away from anything turbocharged. inb4 muh volvo running 3psi and lasting forever... Shit's different when your're dealing with an alloy block and 20+ psi of boost.

A truck would definitely outlast a car.

Modern cars are designed to be replaceable, like a cell phone. Would you really want to keep a cell phone for 20 years? Are ICE engines even going to be legal in 20 years???

Torque steer is torque steer at the end if the day, no need to make up excuses to defend it

A lot of the torque steer can be negated by a rear motor mount, added bonus with the Speed3 over the FoST is you aren't cooking your brakes to reduce it.
>>
>>14575118
It's not even bad.
And yes I've driven gen1 and gen2. Both over 300hp.

OP here, can't that be fixed with a rear sway bar? I drove in a 9-3 Viggen which are notorious for heavy torque steer, but it was hardly noticeable with the minor mods the owner made.
