Hatch comparison

Are you single or a family man?

>>16727276
Single but live near family

>tfw almost bought a gti autobahn twice but couldnt get past the reliability concerns.
I even got approved for 0% financing somehow, with barely any credit history

>>16727358
yo but it's not like the Focus ST is better...
normie i knew got 9k off sticker (which was 3k lower than MSRP) cuz the car wasn't selling. He said it was a piece of shit :/

>>16727358
>but couldnt get past the reliability concerns
other hatches aren't any more reliable, stop falling for memes.

>>16727410
That's why I want to get the new Si when it's released, but not sure if I want to fall for the GDI, forced induction meme

>>16727256
You can probably get a 16 or 17 Fiesta ST for a steal in just a little bit, since the 2018 was recently announced with the revised engine and platform.

>>16727544
Yeah but the new FiST will have a 3 cylinder. That might increase the resale of the old model with the superior i4

>>16727622
What's inferior about the 3 banger?

>>16727629
It's a 3 banger

>>16727622
most people don't care at all about how many cylinders a car has.

>>16727651
Most people don't drive hot hatches

>>16727629
Less power potential

What's the best option for a reliable daily driver that's fun to drive, gets at least decent gas mileage, and handles well?

Price range under 30k.

>inb4 gti
I can't afford to be fixing shit/taking it in, or miss work because something goes wrong.

>tfw can't afford a v60 polestar

The new Si would be perfect, but not sure about longevity of these new small displacement direct injection, turbo engines

>>16727853
Is that the new Subaru WRX?

>>16727622
It sacrificed 0.1 liter of displacement overall, but each cylinder increases by 0.1 liters of displacement. I don't think you'll be sacrificing much to be honest.

why not go for a Mazdaspeed 3? or Speed 6? Or go with the Fiesta ST
I owned a MS3 it was pretty bomb dot com but I bought it with engine issues and no engine knowledge so I sold it soon after I now own a Fiesta ST and I love it, it's quirky and fun, certainly not the fastest thing but it's low end torque makes it amusing overall I love it, you might too

>>16727853
Anyone have recs for a fun reliable dd under 30k?

>>16728825
toybaru

>>16728840
I have a mountain bike and golf clubs and photography gear that has to be able to fit.

>>16728933
Ford F150

>>16728938
I'd just get a taco if I went the truck route

>>16728954
that's nice

>>16728933
get a honda fit

>>16729010
If they made an Si or type r version that was fast and looked better I probably would.

>>16728825
Try the STs, the SI, the WRX, and if you can stomach used, maybe a C5 corvette.

>>16727256
What do you drive now?

>>16727853
>I can't afford to be fixing shit/taking it in, or miss work because something goes wrong.
GTI's aren't unreliable you retard

>>16729558
if you have to replace the water pump after 50k miles, it's not reliable

>>16728825
Focus ST

>>16729741

>>16729900
Works for me

>>16727544
I just got a loaded fiesta st2 from a dealer for 6k off msrp two weeks ago.

>tfw no CRZ in manual, with a NA 200+ hp engine
that would be a slick ride
