>>15015730
If you're looking at MX-6s, also look at Ford Probes. They're the same car.
>>15015730
>EF Civic/CRX
Played out beat to shit floppy cars
>DA Integra
Played out beat to shit floppy cars

I'm curious to see /o/'s opinion on this.
Some things I've heard over the years:
>Trucks are more useful
>Trucks last longer because they are built to haul their own weight and cargo as well, therefore the drivetrain is tougher.
>Trucks are much better off road(this one is pretty fucking obvious but there's always one person who thinks a Forester can climb Everest)
>Trucks and SUVs are safer than smaller cars
>>15014742
My literbike has seen more dirt than most of these fucking lifted trucks/jeeps i see.
>>15014756
Yeah I can't stand the mall crawlers. Luckily most people in my area actually use their trucks and suvs
Personally, people are telling me to get a truck for my back problems because of the way they ride. I haven't driven any so far, but I don't feel comfortable driving a giant full-sized truck. But at the same time, I can't get in and out of sedans.
Is it true that trucks ride better? Not workhorse trucks, but premium models like an F-150 King Ranch, GMC Sierra Denali, etc.
thoughts on this? thinking about buying a chevy avalanche regardless
>paying money for one of these
Just get a 1500 Silverado and skip on the buyers remorse. Every piece of plastic on those turns light gray in a few years time, resale value is laughsble, and they're hideous.
>>15014537
y tho? Either you get a truck or an suv. Not an abomination that tries to combine them.
>I want a pickup truck but I dont want to be able to put anything in the bed

Right now I pay about $100/mo for insurance on my vehicle, I live in NA. It's an old 2005 Suzuki Swift. If I were to buy a brand new Civic or Corolla, how much would my insurance go up by, roughly? Should I expect my insurance rates to go up by like double or by 50% or what?
I'm undecided on the car I want to buy next and but I'm most likely getting a new vehicle and was looking for a rough estimate on insurance rates changes.
>>15014435
nigga i pay $272/month for my '14 tC.
Granted i'm 22.
>>15014451
22, male, single?, and driving a new coupe.. Still, $272 seems unreasonably high to me. Did you get into an accident or anything?
>>15014487
That's probably comprehensive insurance, Because he probably financed or leased it. Any lien on the car = full comprehensive coverage, which almost always doubles your insurance on a vehicle
I'm a Canadian looking to buy a daily driver sporty 4 door car/hatch. From the research I've done, it seems like the base 2016 WRX is the best value for the money.
For comparison:
>2016 Subaru WRX = $30,000
>2016 Subaru WRX STI = $38,000
>2016 Golf GTI 5-door = $34,000
>2016 Golf R = $40,000
>2016 Ford Focus ST = $31,000
>2016 Ford Focus RS = $47,000 (why is this...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
you won't be able to get the RS though right? I think you'd have to be on a list to pre order and it would take a while for it to be made and delivered.
that being said I'm actually impressed by the jump of the old WRX hatches to the 15/16 wrxs. Power comes on better, and even though it is a subaru the interior in the new ones is a leap better.
I would actually get a lower model WRX and dump that 8k into mods that don't blow your warranty (exhaust, intake, cobb AP, etc)
>>15014408
the WRX is a great DD, slap some snow tires on in the winter and it will laugh through the snow.
get the WRX the STI is far more track orientated and the WRX is plenty quick stock unless you are a power hog.
>>15014408
shut up and buy a civic for <5k. you don't need awd.

Why is America so uncompetitive in the highly valued shitbox segment?
Aside from the Focus and Fiesta, it seems like the only other time they even came close to competitive was the Saturn S series.
>>15013708
Because shitboxes are mainly for Europoors who aren't legally allowed to drive engines over a certain size for 30 years of their life . And Japanese who have a "gentlemens" agreement on hp output.
GM's Quad 4's
Chrylser K turbo's
Ford was a bit behind with the Lima turbo, and it wasn't really in shitboxes, and dropped pretty quickly.
>Focus, Fiesta 'American'
Not really

>Europoors who aren't legally allowed to drive engines over a certain size for 30 years of their life .
Is this true?
What do autistic people mean when they call something a 'meme car'?
