I like the newer Mustangs, but this is the truth.

I had a rental GT in 2010 with the 5.0 and it was pretty fun. I still wouldn't buy one though.

I don't know about Mustangs, but SS Camaros have two problems. They are loving cop magnets. Like I got pulled over in a 5 mile test drive and pass at least one a week sitting on the side of the road with blue lights behind it. And they are loving undrivable in the rain/snow/ice if you have to turn. So the 6 is a better car if you actually have to drive it.

Regardless, anyone who buys a Mustang/Camaro/Challenger in an automatic gargles cum in rest stop bathrooms.

In 2009-2010 I went to a neat little race track in SoAZ about once a month when I first picked up a turbo'd MX-5 (Miata). It was a lot of fun, they even had two sets of hair pins pretty close, with a nice 1/8th mile straight away between them. It was fun to race down in a Mazda, Porsche or Lotus because all three cars could handle the hairpins at speed without much trouble, even a few GTI drivers could do it if they goosed it ~*just*~ right. But this is when Camaros and Challengers first started showing up in packs.

Mustang guys seemed to realize they had to slow down for the hairpins, probably down to 35ish to keep traction. Camaro people kept trying to power through the pins, so much so that the track guys ended up calling the gravel pits next to the turns "Camaro graveyards" because without fail you'd always see them, almost always in either black or yellow with black stripes and a transformers window sticker, stuck in them, rims buried atleast 5 inches in the gravel pit.

This is what led some of the people at the track to ban muscle cars, Camaros, Challengers, Mustangs and Chargers, Corvettes driven by anyone who owned a trucker hat, from running the track without the Hairpins blocked off and rerouted. Which was a bummer, because I really enjoyed lapping brand new Camaros driven by 20 something dirtbags in a faggy little Nip car

I'm 5'10" 150lbs, I had a regular 500 as a rental not long ago, after a few hours driving it I got used to the smallness and found it to be pretty comfortable. Test drove an Abarth after and was really pleased with the smoothness of the gearbox and how tight the steering felt. I'd still keep my Mazda, since it's paid off. Just looking for something a bit more gas efficient and still fun to drive.

"I want to save money on gas by spending more money on another car."

If you want another car, cool, but don't try to justify saving money by spending a lot more of it. Justify it by how much pussy it'll probably get you.

But you're a goon so getting pussy lol

Seriously.

The Soul is hideous, the Juke isn't a looker either, but the AWD version handles better than it has any right to.

If you NEED a micro SUV, why not just get a used BMW x3, they often sell cheap, they're reliable, the look nice and they've got plenty of space. You can pick one up for only 2-4K more than a new Kia/Nissan. And really, if that extra 2-4K is more than you can afford, maybe cars aren't for you. Bus passes are pretty cheap, and there's always sucking off truckers to get where you're going

Seriously, just buy a used X3. Or if you're REALLY dead set on a beach-bum wagon, a Honda Element, since they're designed to be cleaned with a hose, since everything on the interior is water-proof

As long as it's the first gen xB. The larger model has issues from what I've heard.
The old one (2005-2007 iirc) has hella room and is decent on gas. It's a Toyota, so except for the o2 sensor they basically never die.

I've had my xB for almost 10 years now, it does everything I want and runs cheap. I'm just gonna drive it until it dies.

Totally a first gen. I worked at Carmax for a while and those things were great. Elements were cool because of the hose out feature and the folding table in the back, but it's really a van with an SUV front end. The xB is a big roomy car-box. gently caress SUVs. :colbert:

I bought a Soul because:

A. ex-wife wanted something new with a warranty
B. I wanted a manual transmission
C. the 2.0L for '12 came with 160~hp, double of my previous car
D. I love ugly as gently caress cars
E. Kinda thought I'd eat the contents of my medicine cabinet by now so what other people thought really didn't matter. And still doesn't.

It's not a bad car. Decent pick-up, plenty of space, good ride height since clawing your way in/out of a car that has your rear end 6 inches from pavement sucks giant monkey cock with a bad back.
