Mar needs a 2 door manual

[Mar]

Any chance of saving the injectors by doing a full clean and service on them?

I'm also confused as to why you would be buying another one. I'd get something else.



:werd:

It wouldn't specifically be another Hyundai, I was curious how the quality would differ from my previous Civic and it looks like I made it to 200,000 kilometres on the Civic with only replacing the clutch but I didn't make it to 170,000 on the Veloster without having to rebuild the engine.

I don't buy 4 door cars and I would look at something electric so literally my only sporty option is the Mini Cooper and they got the absolute worst quality ranking from JD Power.

So I have no idea what I would choose, I test drove a manual (has to be manual) Bronco last week but that thing is way too big. And like I said, I might go electric.

[g-m]

Surely there are other options for manual 2 doors

Surely there are other options for manual 2 doors

Electric?
- Nissan Leaf (no)
- Mini Cooper (is the quality that terrible?)
- Hyundai RM20 (although amazing, only available in Europe)
- Volkswagen Buzz (not out yet but really cool)

Petrol
- Tesla Roadster (can't afford it)
- Lamborghini / Ferrari / Aston Martin (can't afford it)
- Ford Bronco (too big)
- Jeep Wrangler (no thanks)
- Cupra (not available for import)
- Porsche 718 / 911 (maybe but I'm looking for a winter car)
- Volkswagen Golf
- BMW Supra (not a real Supra)
- Nissan Z (maybe this one)
- Nissan Skyline R34 GTR (I'd actually buy one, know anyone selling?)

I'd really prefer electric, I hate getting gas.

"Need winter car. Leaning toward R34 or Z."

All that's left to do is consult with NZwasp & his ma-in-law and we can close this Mar thread.

- Mini Cooper (is the quality that terrible?)


Compared to a used Land Rover product? Yes

Get the Golf and save up for a PHEV.

BTW Carrera 4's are excellent in winter.

[bjstare]

The (not a real) Supra is supposed to actually be a pretty good car. The parts having a different automakers name stamped on them is a pretty trivial reason not to buy a good car.

[Sentry]

A 2020 "Toyota" Supra would be dog shit compared to the BMW Supra

[DonJuan]

I'm getting off topic here, but they could have just made a faster lighter RC-F and called it the Supra.

The best Supra you can buy is the Z4. That includes the older models. Change my mind.

Um, what?

[90_Shelby]

Golf R.

Great little car overall.

[mr2mike]

Track record with batteries is low.
You sure you want to get a thousand of them under your feet?

[killramos]

Mar should get a Camaro

[Ca_Silvia13]

Frs/brz

[pheoxs]

What about a 3 door? I hear Velosters are all the rage.

[riander5]

I say Mar gets a new manual RWD M3

[mr2mike]

Mar should get a mustang with a chevy motor.

[ercchry]

Wtf is a manual electric car?

[riander5]

Yea why are the only options Electric OR Manual, two cars that couldn't be more opposite

[DonJuan]

Mar needs to stop being poor and get a Carrera 4s.

Mar needs to stop being poor and get a Carrera 4s.

My personal experience has shown that the opposite happens.

[ExtraSlow]

Mar should drive a Solara.

[Gman.45]

Like a couple others, I'm confused.

Do they even make a manual electric car, at least one that isn't some garage build from a YT channel? Also, the Tesla Roadster isn't a "petrol" vehicle.

From your list, Golf GTI/R seems to be the most likely candidate, since you aren't going to find a manual trans EV IMO. Also, BRZ, WRX, 86/FRS, etc aren't bad options either. My fiance has been driving a 2022 BRZ for most of this year and loves it as a road car. The new WRX isn't a bad car either, we drove one and I tried to nix the BRZ and get it instead, but no go on that one. Also, the Civic SI is getting good reviews, it's not super expensive, decent warranty/etc, and is available with a manual. Of all the options available, Civic SI, WRX, or Golf GTI/R would be my pick since you want a car for winter as well.

[dirtsniffer]

get a new veloster n..

I missed what happened to the old one?

[Swank]

Also, the Civic SI is getting good reviews, it's not super expensive, decent warranty/etc, and is available with a manual.

2022 was the first year they stopped making coupes so he'd have to get a used one, not sure if that's a deal breaker.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Is it like manually freezing the battery?

[redline]

I can’t believe no he’s said trackhawk yet …

[90_Shelby]

I can’t believe no he’s said trackhawk yet …

That’s not a very practical recommendation considering the criteria.

[ExtraSlow]

Not a 2 door manual EV, so in other words, it's perfect.

[redline]

That’s not a very practical recommendation considering the criteria.

When ever has beyond been practical in these types of threads.

[FraserB]

That’s not a very practical recommendation considering the criteria.

Weld the rear doors shut and it’s a two door, meets half the requirements then

Forgot about his 2 door criteria. Then the Golf R and GTI are out too aren't they, at least for newer models?

[Mar]

Um, what?
Oops, that was a mistake.


Mar should get a Camaro
Ewwwwwww!


Frs/brz
Aren't they called the GR86 or something like that now? It could have been an option but I feel like the Z is a better car from the reviews I've seen.


What about a 3 door? I hear Velosters are all the rage.
Production has ended, they will not be returning for 2023.


Yea why are the only options Electric OR Manual, two cars that couldn't be more opposite
I require a manual but I'd be willing to give that up to go electric. If I'm sticking with gas I will not buy an automatic.

Do you really want to pay the 20% luxury tax and drive it in the snow? I guess a used one could be a good buy but I park my winter car on the street and I'd feel badly leaving a 911 out in the snow all winter.


109244
I would love a Del Sol or even better, a CRX. I love the look of them and I feel like they're going to start shooting up in value.

[heavyD]

The Z is not a better car than the GR86. Not even close. It's largely a mediocre refresh of the largely mediocre 370Z. It's faster in a straight line but that's where its superiority ends. GR86 is a better all around car by a longshot.

Yeah...that's no way to treat an exotic!

[dirtsniffer]

To not waste time on a new thread. I am thinking about buying a car to keep for the next 30 years. Can age along with me I suppose. Looking around $80. Current choices are a camaro zl1 and a m340i.. pretty open I guess. Hoping for something timeless to carry me through Sunday drives in a future of vehicle appliances.

With just over half the horsepower and torque, what makes the GR86 a better car?

[killramos]

I’ve heard the battery is well insulated.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

With just over half the horsepower and torque, what makes the GR86 a better car?

The fact that it’s not a Nissan.

[bjstare]

With just over half the horsepower and torque, what makes the GR86 a better car?

Literally everything aside from raw hp/tq figures. There’s a lot more to a car.

Unless all you care about is accelerating, then you need an EV as nothing else competes.

[jabjab]

Why not a second generation TTRS? Fast and affordable but hader to find and can be made pretty quick with a some slight mods and a tune...AWD too

I was parked behind one 2 weeks ago and was just drooling over it, I was waiting for the owner to come out so I could ask them about it, it was beautiful. Some mom was taking pictures of her kid standing next to my car and I was just looking at the Audi.
I'd really like to have one of those.

I’d look at something like a M2C since you’re considering a M340i or ZL1.

I hated the 6Spd in the 2008, so rubbery.

Get a SS 1LE or ZL1 if you need the extra 200hp.

[dirtsniffer]

who doesn't need the extra 200 hp? My concern with the camaro is how the interior will age.. but who cares I guess with 650hp.

[riander5]

Does anyone buy pony cars for their cutting edge interiors?

The seats are huge and comfy to accommodate big american asses. The engine goes vroom vroom. That's all you need

[jutes]

If you think the extra 200hp is worth $30k, then go for it.

[dirtsniffer]

far enough. I was trying to find an SS, but it seems like dealers are asking $60k+, which isn't really a huge jump at that point..

Still selling yours?

You might have me confused with 94_boost, he sold his green one a few months ago. However, I know the current owner and he isn't closed to offers lol

You don't want used? Those american v8's are pretty reliable, chevy / ford anyways. Older 6th gen 5.0L mustangs are at a pretty attractive price point.

I forgot another rule I have with my cars, I don't buy black / grey. I'll take something white / orange / blue / yellow or maybe red. That makes it really hard with Porsches.

It's a 4 door.


Ok Mar I can only take so much outta you
I'm not kidding, I was looking at the TT and I heard, "You want me to take a picture of you with the car?" I looked back and the kid was standing, smiling. So I let him sit in it and put the top up / down while his mom recorded a video, I was being nice. Unfortunately I got distracted and the girl in the TT drove away but I saw it again the next day in another part of the city. If anyone knows a girl that drives a blue TTRS with a silver graphic along the front / rear lips, tell her I was drooling over her car.

[DonJuan]

Sounds to me like you're in the market for a some flow tested injectors for your Veloster.

[killramos]

Buy the new M2

Yes.

You can get a wrap to solve that black/grey dilemma. Yes it's a cost, but it provides you with more options.

[jabjab]

M2 is a great option in manual, tough choice between that and the TTRS. Weigh out the pros and cons of each.

[schurchill39]

1. It sounds like a Veloster is the right car for you. Just get a slightly used one.
2. Does anyone else think Mar is Zenops when Zenops takes his meds?

[heavyD]

Yeah I can see myself getting back into an M2. I like the E30 angular styling of the G87 but I will wait until the LCI as you usually get better headlights, infotainment, subtle styling tweaks, etc.

[Mar]

Buy the new M2
Oh, that is nice. I tried to build one on their website though and only got options for paint, wheels and interior trim, then it still didn't give me a build price. How do I build it?

I don't rant about nickel nearly enough for that.
