OldJoe Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Love me a range rover sport. It's the car I hope to get in a few years after uni/getting a career! Until then, I have a license, but no car. Need to look into finding one. :mellow:I assume you're studying something pretty difficult then. If this forum exists and you're still here when you've gotten one, i'll call you Mr.Chelsea tractor lol.I'd get one of these tho (girl included): [spoiler=Defender] J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbrideau Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Yeah, there's the Lancer, which is the car I'm going for when I finish paying my student loan, which will probably only take a year or 2 to pay, or you could do like me and have a Toyota Echo as first car, mine is 2002, might not be a sports car, but it's manual and beats my brother's civic hands down on the performance side. Also a 6 speakers sound system, which is pretty nice. Only problem is finding one within your specifications as for how new it is, as it's been a few years they didn't make them. For durability I find it's one of the best, seeing as mine is 275k Km with 2 accidents and still rolling like new. Almost never needed repairs either. Other than that, there's some Subaru's that look pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Fox Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Mines a 2000 Honda Civic. Runs pretty good for a 2000, gots some key marks but looks cool and has hardly noticeable stains. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphias Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi i know this really isn't a major car thread but i thought i would post on it instead of cluttering the forums.. I'm getting my license this winter and if i keep a 95 average my mom promised to get a new car to share with her (she never goes out so it would be mine at night). it has to be new, under 30k, automatic, and have 4 doors. it does not matter if it is a sedan or SUV. I'm looking for something sporty and high-tech with a good stock sound system (not really my main concern though). some horsepower and expandability would be nice. i need recommendations these cars are out of question (mainly because every kid in my school has one or my close friends have them):jeep anythingsuby anythingpontiac anythinghonda civicdodge caliburnissan xterra/rogue I looked at the mazda rx-8 (technically 4 door) and it seemed like a pretty sweet car. the mazda3 grandtouring also is very high tech and within my price limits. i looked at mitsubishi lancer online and theres a huge price gap between models (it jumps from 26,000 to 32,000 or something) but i really didn't look at any other cars. i'm sure some of you have suggestions.Mazda 3 has been on my watch list too- but we just lost our Mazda dealer a year ago. Do you live somewhere where you'd want AWD/4WD for snow? A Honda Fit is the other one I've been looking at as a cheap car. Anyone have any experience with it? I'm really limited to Subaru, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Honda, and Toyota by my location. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noble_aloof Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 the problem with subaru is that my best friend has (his own) legacy with top of the line options so it would be weird if i got one. i'm also thinking about a dodge charger but i heard that they have a lot of blind spots from the drivers seat.. which is something to consider since i'll be a new driver. and yes 4/awd would be something to consider. RWD cars are basically a no-no here for the winter.. we got whacked with 3 18+in storms last year.

Jeffwilson99 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I think you could get Mazda 6 for 30k US? We got a second hand one for that NZD, so you should be able to afford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangeor Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 As I was walking around downtown last weekend I saw a guy hop into one of theseI had my ipod on pretty loud and my "muddle under my breath" turned out to be pretty loud because after saying "[rooster] sucker" he flipped me off and drove away. Not only does he own the coolest car in the world (jealous) but he also flipped me off (angry) - we are now worst enemies.I've only seen one Aston Martin in person before. My friend and I were walking through D.C. and we just saw a DBS parked on the side of the road. Both being huge Aston Martin fans, we stopped to admire the thing for a good five minutes haha. The caps were playing a game just down the street so we assumed one of the players owned it; I mean, who else in the area would own a goddamn $200,000 car?

RWD cars are basically a no-no here for the winter.. we got whacked with 3 18+in storms last year.Honestly Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep isn't quite up to speed yet as far as reliability, the only American company there IMHO is Ford, with Chevy not far behind. I'd definitely say go for the AWD (second choice, FWD) as you're a new driver and you will be driving in the snow. Subaru's are big here for a reason- they're reliable, look decent, don't cost a fortune, and are great in the snow. If my budget wasn't limited to below ~20k that's where I would be looking. Who cares if your friend has one. ;) 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stereotype of small cars = good mileage is completely invalid. Ferrari makes fast but very small cars and their mileage is lower than a Hummer (which is infamous for having one of the worst fuel economy ever). It all depends on the engine size.

Danqazmlp Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'm not a huge fan of the new mini's at all. Firstly because they really aren't mini at all. They have the same rough shape as an old mini, but they are so much larger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqCeoKTHFtM Secondly they feel to me as a bandwagon car. People get them because it's a Mini, not because it's a car they like, just because it has the name. There are MUCH better small cars out there at the moment. Want to be my friend?
