What is the worst car you want to own?
SRT4
I want a Fiero too but only pre-swapped so the SRT4 is probably worse
>>14670377
SRT4 can shame pretty much any 4-banger import, while the Fiero is bascially a random mix from the GM parts bin. Neon is probably better.
>>14670353
Fiero here too, op.
Literally just for the way it looks, because that's all that's actually good about it.
But just look at it.
I like a lot of communist shitboxes
so pretty much all of those
>>14670353
I want a Soviet lada
I know it's shit. But I still want it.
And a Renault 19.

Shit reliability. Do a v8 swap and be done with it.
>>14670854

Plagued with a lot of problems, not a "real Porsche", Nobody really liked it when it was still available for sale new, but look at it. It's beautiful.

I have an inexplicable love for modern Minis, no idea where it came from, but god damnit if I has $50,000 i would go out and buy a brand new orange cooper S. The only thing stopping me from buying an older modern mini is the fact that I know they are horribly unreliable, that and me not letting my dick control my brain.

>>14673260
RWD/AWD wouldn't make the CRX better.
>>14673149
It's such a light weight handler that being fwd doesn't even matter much.
I think there have been awd with mid/rear engine conversions though.
>>14671222

I drive an SC-2 right now. Down the road I want to find one in great shape, bring it back to basically showroom, and wring as much power out of it as I can. I just love the SC for some reason.
>>14670353
I've seen a few fiero for sale in the uk and i always think, of the all the iconic american cars why the fuck did someone import that.
>>14671363
I have actually driven one and it isn't as bad as it looks in terms of handling and comfort. It's Golf 0.5. The power though, there was 4 of us in it and we had problems going up a 8 degree slope in first gear.

If you overlook the 20mpg and don't threat it like a pimp does his hoe, it's THE most comfy and luxurious car you can buy for the price by miles while still being practical family sedan.
>>14673234
The 3800sc engine gives 200-300hp a Northstar gives 300-400 but is heavier and less reliable. Some people have LSx engines in them but not us mere /o/tists.
>>14672298
>>14672504
Either one of those is fine too as I already own the worst car I've ever wanted.
>>14672504
how is it bad? the V12 is a pretty tough engine.
Or just get the i6 or v8 version if you`re afraid of maintenance costs and bad mpg`s

Dudes I actually had a dream I had a Fiero last night I had a flat tire in a parking lot and I was dragging the car sideways by myself into a parking space.
>>14673687
i dont know what the fuck kind of fuel or meme magic you amerishits have over there but 20 mpg is 12l average fuel consmuption per 100km. a 5 fucking litre v12 engine does not do 20 mpg, it will be 17 mpg ON HIGHWAY AT BEST.
>>14673928
My fucking carbureted 5 liter v8 engine from the 80s gets 20mpg highway dude. Is your fuel seriously that watered down in addition to being that expensive? What the hell is happening in Europe?
>>14673928
Imperial gallons are 20% more than US gallons
>>14672887
The 2.0L is apparently a lot better handling, although gutless

European here, your foot is too heavy, get good. But yeah, most people report it's around 13-14l/100, which equals to ~17 Liberated miles per Freedom galon, although this is combined. Reports of 11l/100 on the highway exist.
>>14674064

Considering the car was designed with a Wankel engine in mind and the I6 was shoehorned in there at the last second, that's very true. Any engine swap to something smaller immediately makes the Pacer better.

well this one has 69k original miles and everything works, so it feels pretty new when you drive it. 140 hp doesnt sound like much, but the torque really makes it go combined with the light weight. The driving experience is surreal. Youre dragging ass when you sit in it and the steering is manual so its really tight. Also gets like 30 mpg and fits in compact spaces! Coming from a newer dodge charger its a big difference.

In the US, highway mileage means going 40-60 miles in one trip.
Of course you're gonna burn fuckloads of fuel running 3 km, you aren't even getting up to operating temp.
My truck gets 25 mpg highway (it may weigh 2 tons, and have a 6.2 liter, but it's a 165hp NA diesel), but since my commute is only 5 miles, I get 16 mpg even though it's 60 mpg the whole way with only two stop signs.

No one should be ashamed for living a 348. They are pretty much the best looking of the non-super car V8 Ferraris.
