Why do people do fwd for performance
Imagine if Honda put that type r money into rwd
Shame...shame...
I'm open I agree
>>14287672
Because it isn't worth designing an entirely new car built around RWD. It's still a Civic.
They could build a real performance car if they wanted to, but none of us benchracers have $60k to drop on a new Honda.
>>14287795
>No Fun Allowed!
marketing, they want to make people believe their civic 1500cc is a sports car
ITT Auto truths that are hard to swallow
>people only bash """ricers""" because they are the largest auto enthusiast group
The only reason I haven't bought a Civic is because I want to be a special snowflake.
>>14287366
holy shit i thought i was the only one
ive driven a few civics and they're very very good, they rank very highly for me up there with miata
but both civic and miata seem too common i want to be special
its hard life

I think they get bashed for putting fucking wings on fwd cars, all that's gonna do is make your car slower, same thing with putting giant wheels. All you're literally doing 90% of the time is making the car worse.
Who here just wants a comfy commuter that looks sort of sporty and is mildly fun to drive? I don't care if it's fast and nobody else cares if your car is fast, either.

Hello anon, I am here for you
Just got myself a Mazda 6 with a V6. Sure it isn't the fastest car on the road, but it's faster than 90% of anything you encounter daily in traffic.
Having a V6 makes you feel like a step above everyone and their little 4 cylinder pieces of shit. I love it.

>not getting the Speed6 with the same engine as the Ecoboost Mustang
Keep telling yourself that

What's the best hatckback ?
Currently driving a 2013 Hyundai i30 1.6 130HP diesel for my work, and a 2011 Volvo S60 2.0 i5 diesel for fun.
I want to sell both and buy just one.
He must be a compact (to park in Paris for my job), must be more than 150HP, if possible 2.0 or more, don't care about petrol / diesel / hybrid, and I currently don't know if I want to drop my manual for an automatic (manuals are fuckin boring when I have to drive in Paris)
I see only hate for every brand, no one has something good to say ?

I'm planning to test drive one, but I see a lot of people complaining about the interior quality of Ford (but no comments on the durability of the car).

>"He" must be a compact
>I carry a lot of shit in my trunk.
Considering these factors, probably ur nan
This is not an airplane board but fuck it, I know a lot of you fucking love airplanes and I've seen a lot of airplane threads in here.

They unjustly stopped the Concorde.
There's an abandoned airstrip near where I live that I went to today to have some fun on the snow. Some lady with kids came along and started recording me so I GTFO of there. The question is, could I theoretically get in trouble if she reported me to the police? She didn't record me ripping any hektik skidz, I'm not even sure she recorded anything but if she did, she only got the part where I was calmly leaving the strip.
Nothing will happen when it comes to her recording you, but it's probably trespassing. I'm sure the police would just come and tell ya to get out if did come while you were driftin around
Tell her to mind her own fucking business.
If it's her property, you're trespassing

I'm saving up to buy myself my first non hand-me-down car. I've narrowed my favorites down to a Foxbody GT, NA Miata, or E30. Which would be the best overall driving experience, as well to provide an opportunity for a beginner to learn some wrenching?
Miata is the only one that should even be considered a car to get for driving experience
>>14281966
t b h the miata was always my first choice, but my best friend who is super into E30's gushes over them and talks em up, making them sound like loads of fun opportunities for the price
And as far as the mustang goes, muhfiveliterveeayyt.jpg, and I personally find the Foxbody style to be very sexy

She gets me where I need to go.
What's a good AWD/4x4 used car/SUV? I have a budget of about $6,000. I was looking at older Outbacks but I'm scared to death of the headgasket issues. I looked at Jeep Cherokee XJ's but the gas mileage isn't too great.
Suggestions?
cherokee, gas mileage isn't that bad if you get a 5 speed with the straight 6
>>14280708
I'll be needing to make 500 mile trips every two weeks plus some in town. Reliable enough for that? Also, how's the highway drive? Loud and rattles?
