Poorfag tier Underrated cars thread
>>14137459
Everyone loves the third gen
People go to the 5th gen for its styling
But 4th Gen is ignored
If this had been in a few video games and a Fast and Furious movie a decade ago, this would be one of /o/'s favorite cars
>>14137481
These are the cheapest 'Ludes around here. How do they stack up against the 3rd/5th gens, the Probe/MX-6 and MX-3?
>>14137481
>Honda gives a car shorter wheelbase and more aero
>HURT IT'S UGLY I HATE IT
>we get the fat 5th gen
>>14137493
Better than mx6,mx3, 5th gen , worse than probe GT
Better stock engine than 3rd Gen, wider aftermarket, engine swaps slightly easier
Shortest wheel base of the three ludes
Average curb weight
Cam be great, sexy dash
There's a video of the Jun prelude beating a tuned s2k on the touge

Looks like another one to add to the list of "potential cheap fun DDs" then. Thanks.
>>14137569
The engine you want is the H22 in the VTEC model
H23 is OK but the h22 is a great engine
King of the poor fags
>>14137930
Thats not a corolla
4th gen Accord
All it needs is an H22 or K24 swap.
Here's one for ya. Find one of these with low miles and wake it back up slowly in the summer with light weight oil for a thousand miles or so then put some good synthetic in there and put it through its paces.
It's a shame they're actually disappearing forever these days.
>>14137945
I have one of those in hatch form.
Best $500 I've spent all year

Have a Turbo Z with 76k miles on it for $5000 (probably take much less)
It's just that it's a Dodge but w/e. This one is literally for sale right now in Wheeling. I'm browsing craigslist now - all for this dead ass thread.
>>14137569
Had one in highschool, theyre great little cars.

Here's another with the same miles on it but been parked since the mid 90's, outside. $400

This twin turbo awd Stealth is only $3000 but it "just needs a tune up, plugs, wires etc"
No thanks, Buddy.

From someone who dailys a stealth(when it's no fucked, which isn't often) they ate a blast to drive. You can get a N/A for pretty cheap up here in MI. Never get anything with the SOHC tho
>>14138219
Somebody just sold a TT relatively near me listed at $1500 I can see the remnants of the CL ad.
Oh well I just spent $1500 on a Foxbody anyway

How did we go from white trash staple in the 3rd and 4th gen to Nigger's choice in the 5th.
>>14141971
You're evolving.
But I don't see the point of these new ones when there's no Pontiac version, and LS1 is just as capable.
>>14141981
You're an evolution

Problem?
>>14138124
If You can't afford to maintain it, therefore it's not a poorfag car. Same with the TT 300Z...
Decent 2nd gen 3000gts start at 10-12K.
Poorfags ruin it, non poorfags drive them daily.

whats the best/most fun to drive corolla i could get for under 4000
This right here.
That being said , I will never fucking understand how Honda decided to go after Miata money with an FF car with a removable top and then
1. didnt brace the chassis enough
2. give it the weakest fucking engine choice
3. no type r treatment
seriously what the fuck
they're still great cars though and very underrated
>>14144414
AE88 GT-S
The only ones that are expensive are the ones the owner tried to turn into a panda Truenos.
>>14144744
Nope
You can't get these for below $7k
>>14144744
all gtses around here are 8k or up

>>14145051
>>14145246
>>14145570
Looked for them for 3 months in SoCal last year. You can get a GTS for ~$4k but it's gonna be shit, and you'll need to budget $2-5k for repairs which will probably involve an engine rebuild, transmission replacement, new diff, rust repair and basically an overhaul of the electrical system. Oh yeah, and budget $5k for a new paint job cause it's gonna be primer gray with great sun bleached panels.
Mine was $6700, and it's probably the least fucked up looking one I've seen in my area. I've driven it consistently for a year without any major issues.

>what is car financing
Poorfag niggers drive them.... Because niggers don't care about high interest rates... They only care about getting the car, something breaks and they still drive them like that because they cannot afford the parts.
>be me
>car gets a flat
>take it to tire shop
>see nigger in challenger
>nigger had a flat tire also
>cannot get repaired
>nigger haggles one used tire.. A 40 dollar used tire.

>"dis better be good tire, this cars expensive if it blows up imma get mad"
Any poorfag can finance one of those cars, specially niggers... Banks only care about cashing in as much cash as they can from niggers and poorfags.
So yeah... Its a poorfag car a nice one though, give it a few years and it won't be one anymore.
I have a '97 Camry that's pretty much been a hand-me-down-first car since it was new. That thing must have about 400,000 miles on it, but it still runs great, and you only have to fill up the tank every other month. I'd say it's pretty hard to beat when it comes to bang for your buck.
>>14145865
>New Dodge
>Not blow up.
>>14145918
Honestly those 90's Toyotas are god tier in terms of reliability.
Many people underestimate the engineering brilliance of those engines... Its not easy to create a car that will have an engine that will basically last 300K.
Also keep in mind that people tend to not maintain those cars, making it an even bigger engineering achievement.
Also the 90's civics do an amazing job at resisting 150K with 8 careless owners and another 100K with a shit owner that just abuses it and engages vtak all day long.
>>14144371
But I'm not poor.
I have the FX, miata, mazda3, and a Mazda pickup.
I just enjoy older cars...

Why would you post that horrific picture

Are you autistic
>>14147463
Possibly. Why?
Is the 2001 VW Cabrio (which is just a convertible version of the Golf) a good/reliable car? I can get this one working again for ~$1,000.
>>14147572
there are better cars, such as the same car, but with an actual roof!
>>14147572
I wouldn't put money into it
>>14147580
I know. It's just this was my cousin's car and he gave it to my family for free because he didn't know what was wrong with it. I wasn't even looking for a car before this, I was fine with public transport, but this would end up in a junkyard if nobody else takes it. We found out that it's the transmission that needs fixed, so if I pay to get that fixed everything else looks like it's in decent shape. I think I'll keep it if it can get me through college.
>>14137459
Probes sound really good with the v6
>>14148479
Probes are awesome. Had many of them through my younger years. Still have one in desperate need of a rebuild. <3 them.

>>14145865
Implying I haven't drove the same car since high school and bought this for myself.
Still driving my first car actually, love it to death.
>>14147631
it really depends on which engine it has, if it has the 1.8t or the 2.0 i would fix it, both of those are fairly easy to work on as far as vw's go
>>14149327
Not to mention the 2.slow will run pretty much forever.
>>14149338
You mean 2. WHOA
Can someone tell me opinions on Ford Escort ZX2?

Seems potential
Anyone have any experience driving them? How do they handle?

Are you trying to imply that they're shit or are you trying to imply that they're not actually underrated?
Because I can tell you now friend, that a Corolla FX16 GT-S is an extremely fantastic little car.
>>14149398
Fx16 is too rare. Not poor fag tier at all
>>14137459
That was my first car. A damn tree jumped out in front of me. RIP Probe 1995 - 2002.
>>14149398
>>14149402
Buy a 84-91 Civic then, unless you think those are 'rare'
4th gen Maxima!
>>14149327
>>14149338
Yeah, it has the 2.0
>>14149496
They are
>>14149402
>Not poor fag tier
>Can be had for under $5000
Seems pretty poorfag tier to me. Not saying they're a bad car, probably one of the best you can get if you don't have a lot of money to spend.
>>14149644
I wish you could buy it for that much
>>14149371
I know 2 people who are living out of one of these
they also have 2 dogs w/ them
car is disgusting, but they make it work somehow
>>14137950
Celica's aren't bad cars. I had a 5th gen for 2 years. The first year, I spent all my money replacing half the mechanical parts under the hood to keep it running. The second year it ran great, apart from a faulty P/S rack that was put in. 3 months after the new rack, I hit a deer and it totaled the car. Sold it for $1500 and got an iM
>>14149728
Too rare
>>14149551
then if I were you I would get it running if the miles aren't too crazy on it
>>14149353
Pls
Ausfags will know the stealth power of the v8 dunnydoor!
>>14149728
5th is best gen.
>>14149353
nobody cares
>>14148904
There's no way those things have that kind of ride height from the factory, so why would someone raise it?
>>14149353
Sportier than reg. Escorts. Easy to work on and you can get them for cheap. Handle pretty well I think. Better than a Cavalier.
>>14152660
But is it better than Honda
>>14152756
It wont get stolen by niggers or spics.
>>14152768
But is it sportier than Hinduh
>>14152770
