Mini Cooper S vs Nissan 350Z
I'm aware this is an odd comparison, but hear me out.
I want the funnest car to drive I can possibly get. I dont care about practicality or fuel economy.
In Australia, my budget of around 12k will get me a very clean (90,000km / 55,000 miles) mini cooper s, spec'd exactly as I would like it. It comes with 12 months rego, full service history and is in overall great shape.
350z's start at around 12. They are the very first gen (2003), have around 150,000kms (93,000 miles) and are usually...

This is the 350z I'm considering. 2003, has 150,000km, 3 months rego and service history.
Get the Z. I don't understand why this is a question
I'd say the Mini will be the most fun by far. But, if you can find a hot Clio in your budget, like a 182 or Gen 3 200, then that's the most fun you can have for your cash.

I don't know anything about cars. Teach me something you've learned about cars.
Maintenance, buying, what to avoid, tips, tricks, anything you can think of, really. What kind of thing would you teach me?
Like what if I was an alien and you're the ambassador to the human race and you're also my driving instructor so I can learn about humans and I'm making small talk with you through a translation device. Literally I'm like an infant when it comes to driving or cars cause I've had 0 experience with cars and not even spaceships...

Sick scenario ok I would first teach you that traditionally Toyotas are the most reliable whereas more expensive cars can be more unreliable like the BMW can break down easily so make sure you know how to switch out tires safely.
>>15329612
Haha nice ok umm
Breaking and accelerating slowly can actually save you tons of gas. Drive like you have a bowl of gelatin on your dash the idea being you want to accelerate and break really slowly. It'll also give you a comfortable ride. Don't push the accelerator pedal down all the way do it slowly and gently.
>>15329612
Lmao ok
Ummmmm probably I would teach you that you don't need to learn how to drive a manual because the majority of cars are automatic these days.
Some purists swear by manual, but it's mostly a niche hobby.
Also the scenario takes place in USA and not Europe so keep that in mind guys looking forward to hearing your take on this.

Lots of cars had a that during that era.
But you wouldn't know because you weren't alive back then.
Because at that generation it wasn't a big name that stood next to the corvette, it was just a somewhat muscely coupe, so they didn't really care all that much.
