What Kind of Car should I Buy

talk random
41

As long as you don’t buy a mitsubishi, you’ll do fine.

Here’s some nice cars in the boston area I found on e-bay that don’t seem to be too expensive. They’re mostly at the top of your price range, but they seem to be very nice cars that’re worth much more than they’re being sold for.

car 1
car 2
car 3
car 4
car 5

Ok, the last one might be kinda expensive, but it’s worth it. And I’m sure if you bought it, Rev or Dan or one of the other west coast kirupians would be happy to drive it over to Boston for you.

Well, I think it’s a typical “mum car”, you know? It’s like a Renault Espace, only not that big. And the back seats can be removed, and they can slide, and blah, blahblah… The trunk is huge for the dog and all the shopping mums do. It has those small “cupboards” everywhere for all the crap mums carry all the time: under the seats, under your feet, above your head, in the doors. :slight_smile:

But OK, I admit it looks “mummy-ish”. Kitt is waaaay cooler!

heh, i guess a “daddy-ish” car will have beer holders, the floor will be a giant trash can, and it will have to kind of looks that say “get the fudge out of my way”

Daaaaaaaan! :stuck_out_tongue:

The Evo is not worth the money, would rather save up 10K more and get a Corvette or a Ford Lightning. It is like paying for a lancer with $25,000 worth of upgrades, do you really think the interior. body kit, and engine upgrades costed anywhere near the tag on that car.
Do we even get Corvettes and trucks and stuff over here? We’d probably have to import them…

I’ve always liked the Evo, though the VIII I’m not so keen on. VII is stunning. :slight_smile: When I went to the Motor Show in Birmingham I spent ages with the Mitsubishi guys and that car. :beam:

46

coooooool…

47

You see why I adore this car? :slight_smile:

Guess I’ve always liked aggressive looking cars. And the sound this thing makes when the turbo kicks is in is just divine… :slight_smile:

48

Hey if you got the Gs then I recommend a vx220. But if you REALLY got the GGGs, Then I recommend a Mclarren. That way when you figured in an accident you don’t feel pain and die directly and you can be assured that your car would not land on somebody elses garage because it’d be total wrecked. Those cars are designed that way! :stuck_out_tongue:

49

The McLaren F1? :stuck_out_tongue:

VX220 you can pick up for around 17 - 18 grand which is reasonable. An Evo is more in the region of 25 - 30K. But since the VX is based on the Elise anyway, it’s a good, fast little car. :slight_smile:

Plus I’ve seen one in a dealership which had the Austin Powers Union flag paint job on it. Soooo cool. :cool:

50

Yeah, I love the Evo as well. Much better than the Nissan Skyline!
I liked the Mitsubishi Galant too when it came out. And their 4x4 vehicles are superb!

Anyway, on the other hand, I’ve always been a sucker for Italians. Ferrari 360 Modena, Spider, F1… drool

51

If you don’t want a fast car but still has the Gs… why not buy a New Volkswagen Beettle? It’s cute and fully loaded. Also it’s a car with a very unique design just like its old predecessor. You go look around the street a you see a car…exactly a car… that looks the same way… (like a van should look like a van …) the beetle is way different and cute to boot! :stuck_out_tongue:

52

Yeah, it’s cute. So don’t buy it. :stuck_out_tongue: j/k

53

FYI the beetle can easilly have a collectors value because of its great design.

54

How about the Mini Cooper? They reckon that at the moment, it’s the only car you could buy now, keep for a year and sell on for a profit. :slight_smile:

I think the turbo charger on the EVO VII rotates at quite a higher RPM then normal turbos do. Which is why it tends to make so much noise. Although I heard it was really expensive if you need to replace it. Having owned a Mitsu Eclipse (Turbo) and after all the problems I had with that car (including having to replace the T25 turbo >:( , I went with the WRX STi when I got rid of it. I looked at the EVO VII, but I got a much better deal on the Scoob, and it is just as quick. Oh, and with the STi exhaust the Scoob sounds pretty aggressive when the turbo spools up. :wink: I installed the GFB Hybred blow off valve this weekend, and the improvement in throttle responce is amazing! No more turbo lag at low pressures. :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Is yours an import or the English edition?

I’ve got one friend with the Sti and one with the plain WRX, and the Sti is so much better… He’s got the Prodrive Performance Pack on as well, so the bhp is even higher. :slight_smile:

Great cars, though the Evo is that little bit more expensive.

Mine is the US edition. Although this year in the US they changed the STi a bit… went from 2.0L to 2.5L, different body kit, (I like the old one better) and a 6speed. (mine is the 5speed) I suppose I should have waited a year. :frowning: Either way I am still pleased with mine. =)

Cheers!
