My favorite cars. They don't make stuff like that anymore, it's all cheap plastic.

Woah .. saw this thread right when I went to go look at a used car with my Dad. I don't know anything about cars but I think Volkswagen Beetle's look adorable despite supposedly being unreliable. I have really bad driving anxiety and have been putting off learning to drive but hopefully having a car of my own will push me to learn.
>>1949213Adorable.

I drive a 15-year old hyundai. it cost me $5k cash, came with 150k miles on it and I've already put on 50k more with no major repair costs besides usual maintenance. i love her very much and will be sad when I inevitably have to get a new car because the market right now is ass.
Also at least in my experience the "BMW drivers are assholes" meme is very very true kek
>>1949201beetles are so cute! i love how they tend to come in unique colors too

Wow, threadpic was my first car. I need the money but it has too much sentimental value to sell it. OP, it's genuinely a "cute small car" I'm sure will go up in value in the coming years, it's a poorfag meme but it's genuinely a practical, convenient, resilient and cute car that parks anywhere.
I'm driving my roommate's picrel and the fuel economy is retarded. We're done with it soon so I'm looking for something used between 4-6k, >2009 that just holds up fine for delivery work. What's the most reasonable option?

A bit cliché but my friend owns a Kawasaki Ninja 400 and it's a pretty cool bike. Sadly, she doesn't ride it anymore due to an accident. If I ever learn how to ride a bike, I'm definitely buying one.

Nice thread! The car that has my heart (maybe an era of cars?) is the late 80's Nissan Skyline. I love a boxy sharp car, love a velveteen interior, something about Japanese cars of this time period just makes me smile.
Currently I'm planning a trip back home so my family member can take a look at my car instead of paying out the ass for some scrote mechanic to upsell me blinker fluid.

>>1949369twingos are cute but now they fallen as
victim of moids from /o/ who memed them. in my country getting one in good shape (and in interesting color) is so hard. i like how it was designed as small practical car, a niche that died after 00s
>>1949455s2000s and miatas were ruined by moids tbh, especially the latter one. i'd want one of them as my fun, weekend car though

>how there's no cute small cars anymore
The big car arms race sucks so bad in burgerland. SUVs and pickup trucks used to be rare and the latter reserved for people who actually used it to haul/tow, now they're most of the cars on the road. Most of the people driving them are objectively bad drivers (this has been tested and proven multiple times) and buy a big car to compensate because they think it will make them safer in an accident, but it just makes them more likely to kill pedestrians compared to smaller cars with lower front grills. And companies don't even market their smaller cars in the US anymore because everyone's drunk the SUV kool-aid.
Also, I miss shaggin' wagons. If I ever have to get a different car, I'd want one of those. Perfect party car and family car.

>>1950012Manual. Manuals are the most common where I live, and after getting a manual license you can also drive an automatic if you wish while with an automatic license you're not allowed to drive manuals.
I agree that shifting makes you more alert, because you're more aware of which speeds you're moving around in when in lower gears. It's also more fun.
>>1950057>I would avoid the 2005-2010 model years, the interior is really cheap and the car starts falling apart before there’s anything mechanically wrong with itI've had a different experience, I've got 3 2007 cars that I drive regularly at the moment and one from 2011, all of them are holding up amazingly interior wise, although all of them have around 200k km which if you're a long distance driver/american might be a small amount of km. They're also the most common shitboxes around, at least in my country. Tbh when buying a used car it's best to just look at it irl to tell how beat it is. Pre 2010 cars come with some qualities and quirks that later cars don't have but that's just my bias talking.

>>1950107Ayrt and yeah I’m an amerifag, our standards for cars is holding up for 250k miles at least (400,000 km). My mom’s 2010 beetle just shit out at much under that, she got a Ford instead because it’s more difficult/expensive to maintenance Euro cars over here. but it had been having electrical problems for years which my friends 2006 beetle also had.
I love vw tho, I’ve had a 2015 golf sportwagen for 5 years and I’ve put 60,000 miles on it (95,000 km) since I bought it with 45k miles and have never had any issues with it, I’ve only had to do routine maintenance and new tires, a new battery and new brakes which should all last me another 5-10 years or so. I plan on driving this car into the grave and having it for at least another 10 years if not longer.

1st Gen Honda Insight with 60mpg average. Now this is peak car design for me. I'll be forced to learn manual, but I love the spaceship/boat look lmao. I used to have a 3rd gen Insight, but if I could find one of these babies in decent condition, it will be mine.
