The best Golf you can buy is a Leon.
>gentle reminder Clarkson likes Fiats
>gentle reminder he also likes to mention the words "passion," "flare" and "soul" when talking about italian cars
Can somebody tell me why there is so much hate for this car?

Turbo V6's are clearly better than N/A V8's for track performance? Why would you want extra weight if you're trying to create a lightweight track vehicle?
inb4 it turns into last night's Raptor thread all over again

Hi euro-auto-fags!!
What's the best 2nd hand car you can buy in europe for less than 17000€ after 2011?
Honda Civic, or Accord.
Best at what, you fuck?
>>15369179
Best in everything...confort, motor, style, equipment...
I need a car to do weekly trips on auto-route. 400km at 140km/h-ish... So need cars with 100+ cv

Fiat Chroma / Bravo
have you guys saw or heared about the ford focus rs this car is awsome in my opinion i mean the bodywrok on the picture is standard (not tuned) so thats awsome it looks like its tuned but as i told you its not and with a top speed of 266km\h this car is a beast in my opinion what do you guys think of this car
>>15368870
too slow for midnight club
i dont care what fancy driveshaft electronic bullshit you got
a FWD that's been made AWD still shows FWD lineage
>>15368870
just another generic modern car
>when people brake on a good downhill road
>when you turn on the blinkers on the passing lane so the faggot in front gives way
>not just passing them when safe.
Life is too short to wait for people doing 10 under. I probably pass on a double yellow twice a week.

>he's so slow he doesn't have to touch his brakes on teh downhill
kek
how tough are ya?
is that fucking a threat
CRASHING
THIS CLASS
I live in a city where there's moderate to heavy traffic, majority of roads are 2 lanes (one way), a lot of shitty speed bumps, and a possibility of flood (only during heavy rain). I'm a graduating from college this year, and would probably start working immediately. I'm confused between these 3. I really want the WRX though. But I don't think it's practical where I live? Im not sure. Haven't tested them too.
Buy a civic
>>15368524
I currently drive a 96 Civic Sedan.
>>15368472
How often does it flood?
Do you have access to a garage at home and work? (Sloped parking spots or anything that would keep the water from rising into your car basically.)
How bad does it flood?
Looking to get a used car. Currently drive a 95' 300zx. I have roughly 9,000 cash to spend. wouldn't mind financing 5k - 6k.
So far ive looked into s2000, e46, z4, and a g35. Im looking for speedy rear-wheel fun, while also not to difficult to work on. Give me some ideas.
>>15368384
>owns 300zx
>wants a new car
???????????????????????????/
>rwd memester
oh...
Unless yours is complete garbage why not just dopr that 5k into making it drive how you want?
>>15368384
You could put down like 450 with injectors, forged internals, an ecu and two used garret gt35rs turbos for 9000 you scrub
Thats what I did, and with wheels, tires and coilovers you can have a fucking quick rwd car.
Hey br/o/s, just got back from the Smurfinwrx meet up. Have some fresh shit iPhone OC I feel like dumping
Enjoy

I've got a bad catalytic conv that rattles and sounds like hell when I drive. I'm not going to spend the money on a new one so I'll just be chopping it off and replacing it with a pipe keeping everything else stock.
Will doing this make my car sound like a ricer fart cannon? I just want it to be quiet.
What kind of pipe are you replacing with? Make sure its of the same material and similar type of welding is used.
It will be slightly louder and probably set off your CEL because the upstream and downstream O2 sensors will be getting too similar of readings.

>Will doing this make my car sound like a ricer fart cannon? I just want it to be quiet.
If you keep your muffler, no.
An open diff RWD car still beats an LSD FWD car. Interesting video.
>still would own the Type R

>drag battle
>>15368252
Well no shit sherlock that was the competition at hand. There is a reason no one makes high horsepower FWD cars...for the reason we see here when limited by street legal tires.
Throw a corner or two in there and the Type R would fucking slay it.
This coming from a guy with 2 BMWs and 0 Hondas
Looking to buy a duel sport/adventure bike when I get back from a work thing come September. Looking at klr650 vs BMW f800gs.
Any other honorable mentions? Looking for above 600cc and not a liter class. Average rider.
Do a lot of log trails and sand. Like to ride to trails and ride bike.
Thanks for any input.

The ones you posted are heavy, not good for trails and sand
The xt is a bit lighter
Either of these are lighter than my dodge diesel. Tired of the winching madness and endless battle to get nubbier tires.
I haven't looked at any Yamaha's though. Appreciate the heads up. Do you own any? What kind of terrain are you hitting?

Shitty mass produced right and left hand drive cost cutting econoboxes don't count

i realised op is a great guy and i am not him
i have a lhd and a rhd
let's just say i have to replace my wiper blades more often than most
>>15367940
That's something I figured out very quickly when learning to drive. As in, as soon as I had to use the indicators, I found them conveniently by the hand I had to use for shifting.
But then, I learned to drive with a good instructor, in a mid-spec Focus instead of some shitty tiny little econobox.

Sup /o/ thinking of getting this 2015 CRZ with 7k miles for 17k, seems like a very good deal for a fun little commuter. Always liked CRX's and love the idea of a new safer version with nicer interior, thoughts?
>https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/5654655870.html
It'a a shit commuter and shit as a fun car. Just don't.
>>15367470
gets average mpg's,looks nice, interior is good for a honda,has aftermarket supercharger with extended warranty
>>15367456
wait a few years, next generation CRZ will use a normal engine and better all around
