Why the fuck does this car have to be so dependable?

I can drive this thing like a motherfucker and it gets me 33 mpg around town every time. I can check the oil constantly and after 6k miles since the last change, it's still fine. The only issue it's ever had was AC, mechanically it feels the same as when we brought it into the family 8 years ago. I want to get something different with a standard transmission but I'm having trouble justifying it. Would I be an idiot for getting a GTI or something along those lines, because "muh fun turbo" when this thing is 15 years old, costs me next to nothing, and shows no signs of trouble?

Help me /o/, I've thought hard about this and really want a different car that I can be proud of, but I can't pull the trigger on it

There is honestly never much reason to have anything besides a corolla, civic, or mazda3 for personal transport. Aside from a motorcycle of course.

Honestly, just buy a motorcycle, anon.

They are cheap, fun and will offer something that your car doesn't, all the while said car maintains it's place.

Not really - its your choice

If you want something more fun then you get something more fun. What WOULD be stupid is selling a dependable car and using all your money on something a bit more risky, and ending up with a broken down car and $9 in change

there's something about 90's-early 2000's japanese shitboxes, they're reliable as hell, cheap to fix if something does go wrong, and great on gas.
fucking perfect first car for your kids, whenever you guys have them

Why not just convert it to standard transmission?

>>16547918
Probably costs more than the car

This is something I should definitely consider. I hadn't even though of a motorcycle before, thanks anons.

>>16547918
if I was really attached to the car and had more knowledge about a job like that, maybe. But it just wouldn't be worth it

There's a bunch of 250~400cc bikes that cover all sorts of styles, they are all tremendous fun and quite meek even to the newbies.

Just take your time, ride different types of motorcycles and see what fits you best.

It's the pinnacle of econoboxiness
>good MPGs
>reliable
>inexpensive
>cheap interior
>good enough stowage space
The ultimate in modern utility

Get something fun for when you're not going A-B, like a bike or a sports car. Leave the montony to the Corolla. It lives for that.

It's FWD, dude. Let's get real here.
>>
>>16548487
So is a civic
>>
>>16548487
Who the hell cares
As long as it pulls good skidpad numbers, drivetrain doesn't matter. You wouldn't take an older mustang over a mazdaspeed 3, would you?
>>
>>16548493
That doesn't make Civics better than econoboxes either. Don't kid yourself.

>>16548547
Bah. A good car is more than statistics and data. It's all about feeling. And FWD is lacking in good feeling by design. The drive wheels having to deal with steering as well. This is a recipe for an underwhelming driving experience.
