What do you daily drive /b/? Is it a genuinely good daily or do you prefer looks/passion over convenience?

I'm currently talking to a dealer about this car in particular. I've already test driven it a few times and I'm genuinely considering it. I also have a shitty but stock 99 civic.
>>
I daily drive 15 STI.
Its manual and got a somewhat stiff clutch but it over all is a very good drive for the power it puts out. I live in the country so don't really have to worry about stop and go, which would probably kill me. The AWD system is also phenomenal for shitty road conditions.

I drive an '06 Mazdaspeed6. It's a wonderful daily driver, comfy, gets 30 mpg on the highway, doesn't look conspicuous enough to attract police attention. I have a full catless exhaust and cold air intake, dyno'd at 283hp/311tq at all 4 wheels. I love it.

>>679277820
Well that actually sounds pretty good.
The closest thing I get to buying GTRs (from what I've seen) around here is on craigslist for $35K.
I've only seen one in person and all the people I know that have em are former military personnel that were stationed in Japan.
How much do those dealers sell em for?

>>
>>679279206
Yeah, a lot of it is luck in finding someone to help source, ship, and register one. If you can find someone that isn't going to totally fuck you, you can get one all in for way in the hell cheaper. I met a dude with a GTS-T that handled most of it himself with a friend that found the car for him and after everything, it only cost about 7k in really solid condition.

I'm thinking about trying to go that route or trying for a Silvia.

Can't ever go wrong with a Corolla.

BTW OP, is your Civic a coup, sedan, or hatchback?

Corolla is fucking amazing and anyone who even dares to sell one instead of giving it to someone in their family should never be trusted with the reliability of a toyota.
Unless you're trading one corolla for another, preferably for an AE86 Sprinter Trueno

I've driven around a lowered white 99 hatch (not mine) for a few months and it was fun but it attracts the worst people. All those hellaflush whatever dudes. That's why I'm opting for something different.

OK OP. I owned a R32 GTR for about five months. Buy the later specification so that when you wrap it into a pole your sorry ass walks away instead of waking up in a wheelchair. It's also got a more reliable motor that you, the retarded motherfucker you are, won't warm up. Don't worry at all about your water temperature it's about when the oil temp moves to above 90.

Look for crushed sills as a sign that it's been worked on at home - a scizor lift doesn't use the jack points that easily crush from use with a standard car jack.

Easy way to tell is the dash surround - the plastic is matte on later models and shiny on earlier models. Do the cambelt yourself because you'll be shelling 5-7k for a new 26 otherwise.

Anything lower than a 3.5 and I swear you're setting yourself up for dissapointment. If the door sags on the frame and is difficult to close expect the KM's to be above 130~ - it's easy to wind these japanese cars with the factory tech they use to change such things being slightly available to people involved in the Yakuza.

Beware the maintenance. Unless you are handy with cars, you will pay through the nose for it.

And dont drive it in the snow. It is wicked awesome on snow, but its not made for it. Too many little crevices that catch gravel and salt, and rust it out fast.

Things to think about. Still too awesome not to have.

Well I do admit that straight piping sounds amazing as fuck, it adds no power.
Yea I'd love to roll around and act like my car is a riced out rally car, but that's not how cars work.
Also, if cops care in your city, having a loud muffler can get you a ticket. like 90% of mods outside of the engine bay are illegal, especially straight piping and muffler removal because of emissions and noise complaints.

That's too expensive to maintain in Europe. And with a longer trailer it would be illegal to drive. Also there's some safety regulations that don't allow American trucks.Plastic or not, some safety regulations aren't met in Europe.

Oh yeah, I agree completely. It's stupid to run straight pipes, and I really hate the fart can sounds. Especially on little four cylinders, it just never sounds good. Ever. And unless you've built the engine, you usually lose torque by screwing with the backpressure.

Yeah, eh. Over here fuel efficiency isn't that important to a lot of people. Like half the US is obsessed with gas mileage and the other half doesn't give a flying f*ck about it as long as it's over 10 mpg. I'm in the second group.

I know modern cars are safer and more fuel efficient and such, they're just so boring and ugly and plastic though. There haven't really been any cars I've seen since the 70s that have been as cool as the old muscle cars. Same with trucks mostly, though there were some really awesome 80s trucks and a few cool 90s trucks.

For an SUV, the cayenne handles like a beast. And the ride through the city is surprisingly smooth. It's not one of the top models as the S model has 340hp stock and with the custom exhaust, I'm sitting around 350. The Cayenne Turbo S model is 600+ hp so that car is fast but costs too much to be a daily car for me.

I like it a lot. The MZR engines are kind of weak stock, they need rods and pistons done at about the level I'm at. Once that's out of the way, all you are is fuel pump internals, injectors, rails, and a bigger turbo and better intercooler away from 500 hp. You'll need a decent tune, of course. The stock turbo spools so quickly that if you couldn't hear it, you wouldn't know it had it. I can't describe how quickly it comes in. If I'm at 4k rpm and I go flat out, the needle swings up to 15 lbs faster than I can track it

They usually are cheaper and there is a lot of BS flowing around about better mileage with manual cars etc. I understand that for example on twisty mountain roads a manual transmission is better because you have more direct control.

Ah, okay. Well in that case I'll give a real answer. Basically, it's all about feel of the road. Automatics, once you learn to drive stick, don't feel like you're even driving them. They feel like you're just steering. And I at least almost always wind up yelling at an auto to shift, because they never do at the right spot.

Think of it this way. As the driver, you have complete awareness of what's going on and can make decisions based on your predictions of the future. The car can do nothing except guess, if you will, what's going on based on driver input. So in a manual you have actual control over the vehicle and it can do exactly what it needs to do, such as engine braking (which is nearly impossible in an automatic, which irritates me to no end). Automatics, to those of us who drive stick regularly, just feel really clumsy with all the unnecessary shifting and extra braking that comes with them.

Depends on the year. I know the old Chevy C/Ks were tough as nails and the 350 never died. The Dodge 318 and 360 have great reputations for reliability too from what I understand.

I know nothing of anything newer than the early 2000s.

Considering buying a sedan version of it. Is it reliable? I know maintaining it is a bit expensive.

you pretty much right, if all your gonna do is a daily commute then auto is by far the better choice.

But alot of people don't just use their car as a means of going from A to B, even if they don't track the car there is so much more fun to be had driving a manual over an auto

Its all down to what a person wants from their car really

With a manual you're always in control of exactly what gear you're in; no torque converter losses in the drivetrain. Lighter. Simpler. Cheaper. A hella of a lot more fun and involving to drive.

Some high-end cars now have 'automated manuals'. They shift faster than a normal manual, but are vastly more complicated, heavier and less involving than a real manual.

So, for a transportation appliance, automatics are fine. For a dedicated track car, where lap time is the only metric, then an automated manual is OK. If your goal is to have fun driving, then a real manual is far better.

I prefer wagons. Massive bootspace. I do all the maintenance myself. Just replaced the brakelines. They always rust on these cars
