Gorgar posted:Overrated: Honda reliability. Mostly I drove Toyotas and they were dependable as hell. Neither Honda I had ran right pretty much ever. I know statistically they're good, but they're not getting a third chance. Honda has been running off their reputation for almost 20 years now. Everything they produce is complete garbage, and all the good cars they made in the 80's and 90's have been ruined by teenagers and commuters who drive until the wheels fall off, with a few rare exceptions. If you've ever been into crx's, civics, e30's, e36's etc now's the time to buy one before they're all gone or hosed beyond repair. There's still a few surviving civic si fanboys out there, but holy poo poo that car is 5 years behind the times. Oh and their little halo car new NSX? Ford already topped it in one year. quote:...video of 600hp Porsche Carrera GT spinning out on a racetrack as warning of the trouble you can get into with a 122hp relatively docile car... Speed wasn't the problem in that video, the point is that even the slightest over correction will flip around the front and back wheels in a mid engine car. Significanly more dangerous when you're driving a MR2 at 50mph on a trafficed highway than 150mph in a closed circuit. Wish I had my old phone's memory card, because I had some p good videos of an old lady in an MR2 crashing her car into the university of washington during some jahovas witness event :V Nothing wrong with a porsche or supercar being mid engine but it's p dangerous when they end up in consumer cars that have depreciated so much that you can buy one on craigslist for $1000-5000.

As far as I can tell, I got the two defective ones from that period, a Prelude and an Accord. Rant about cheap MR2s: mine was $1500 for a 1987 somewhere around 1995. 150k on it and one quarter panel was primer. I loved the gently caress out of that car.

Ford already topped it in one year. basic rule for Hondas is that if they don't rust in the rear fender/quarter panels then there are prob better cars to be considering that will cost less $$$...while also matching or exceeding the Honda's reputation for "reliability" that its been thriving off of for decades now. It's been mentioned already but the CR-Z was the moment when u knew all hope for their brand was lost as they had officially reached the point of no return straying so far from their original values. at this point they really arent much different from modern Toyota, and at least Toyota still makes decent trucks/SUVs. everyone was so excited that Honda was making a successor to the CRX and then they hosed us with a hybrid powertrain inside of that awesome body design that had as much driving appeal as a Prius while lacking its practicality. at least the original Honda Insight which had the same profile as the CRX was quirky with a 3cyl engine, rear wheel covers, and even an avail manual transmission rather than the typical CVT.   plus this nonsense...lmao  Literal Carehaver posted:car look like a squinting orca Big billionaire boss of car dealership company that i worked for years back who constantly felt compelled to remind employees and the world how rich he was owned a Veyron in two tone black and white that I couldn't see past the fact that it bore a strong resemblance to Free Willy.  .Mr. Popo posted:
sorry but loving with someone elses car is totally reprehensible especially if ur an adult over the age of 16. You just gotta say no, whether its some douchebag in an Audi or a basic bitch in a late model Civic tailgating and honking at u for going 25mph and obeying stop signs when ur just trying to make it home from work safely in the midst of a snowstorm while driving a car thats less than ideal for the conditions. if ur actually in a rush to be somewhere or if im holding up ur superior vehicle just flash me and ill gladly let u pass when its safe for the two of us.  The latter example happened recently and it did take some effort to ignore the temptation to go ahead with emptying the bottle of brake fluid stored in my trunk on their poo poo if they just so happened to turn into the walmart parking lot to go shopping but they didnt. As soon as they drove off pass me i realized that doing this would have been incredibly juvenile and unfulfilling. instead i took solace in the inevitability that they would eventually bring punishment on to themselves because of their bad driving. Despite this, i will happily engage in certain passive aggressive behaviors behind the wheel like getting people tailgating me to absolutely drill huge potholes by me swerving to avoid them at the last second or blow past chickenshit people who completely stop on highway onramps using the shoulder to squeeze by. On real special occasions when i feel like starting some poo poo and the set-up is just right i'll randomly hold down my horn (as if the light had already turned green) for a few seconds when stopped at a light in traffic - with the expectation being that the person in the lane beside me who has been staring down at their phone for the past two minutes nonstop will blindly hit the gas and then accelerate directly into the back of the dump truck parked <5 feet in front of them...who prob wont even notice the impact and will drive off when the light turns which will make things p exciting for the moron on their phone. i have zero empathy for ppl who use their phones behind the wheel (or tailgaters as well) and wish the worst for both of them...so they may consider my actions charity - and should be grateful that they are learning their lesson at 5mph instead of 75mph.

Mitsubishi Lancers are basically the most overrated cars ever since only the very high end models have powerful engines while most of the mid and entry range ones have engines similar to any other compact cars. Your Lancer isnt faster than a loving Civic or a Corolla sit the gently caress down
