Re: OS Cars Thread

I said that too, until I realize I am getting 17.8MPG for the life of my car, so far.

I know everybody's different, but knowing my personality as a "budget" guy I don't want to spend a lot more in gas and with a lot of these sporty RWD I'd have to move up to premium and might even sacrifice MPGs.

Not that I drive a lot now. I live 10 minutes from work and fill up about every 10 days, but the gas prices only get higher so gotta keep that in the back of my head.

Re: OS Cars Thread

Yeah, I literally live less than 5 minutes from my work. So if I really wanted to, I wouldn't have to fill up for 2 weeks or more.

Only time I use a substantial amount of gas is if I drive out of town, which isn't often. My girlfriend has a hybrid that we drive if we go long distances so I'm covered lol

I got about 15mpg in the Magnum, so around 18 would be an upgrade!

Re: OS Cars Thread

My girlfriend calls it my second true love:

Looks a lot like mine.

What options, etc. do you all have? The Mazda3 has been on my eye a lot lately. I want a car that's fun to drive, gets good MPG, and is inexpensive and the Mazda3 looks to fit that bill. Might look into getting one after college in a couple years.

The only issue I have with the Mazda3 is that some of the models have a bit of a "guppy" look to them, but no car is perfect!

I also like the Ford Mustang, but the cost and the gas guzzling tendencies are a bit of a turn-off (granted, it's a huge improvement over my Explorer).

I drive the great, big box right now (2002 Ford Explorer). It's a nice car with leather seats, a nice stereo, etc., but it isn't exactly fun to drive, at all.

Check out the Honda Accords(I'd go with the 4 door)my dude.

I used to have an Impala(that was "the" car to have around the DMV back in the day and me being young "had to have it" even though Gas was a bitch)and jumping to an Accord was one of the best decisions(financially also)I've ever made.

Great on Gas as I get about 32-34 MPG Highway in mine.

Re: OS Cars Thread

I have the '11 SV Sport.

I like the new tails on the '12.

I want those tails, the darker look gives the car more of an aggressive look.

And welcome to the Maxima family 13.

Re: OS Cars Thread

I really like the Accord coupes, too. Its definitely on my list.

Speaking of Mustangs. I love their new designs and while I would love to get it as its been my "favorite" car since a kid I just can't stomach driving a V6 despite how powerful it is. Maybe I'm of an old mindset, but I love the Boss editions. Obviously no where near my budget, but I can dream.

Thank you sir.

It is indeed a pleasure.

I got to see a special edition Laguna Seca Edition Mustang once at a local Ford dealership and, boy, is that a nice car! And it's $50K+!

I'm kind of the same way with the Mustang. I really like them, but the reality is that the only thing I'll be able to afford anytime soon is the V6 and I don't know if I want to "settle" for a V6, you know (though it still gets 305 HP, I believe, and is a six-speed)?

Re: OS Cars Thread

I wish I didn't have such a long drive to work.

I love my car, but I really need a truck. Any time I need to pull something somewhere, I have to borrow one of my dad's trucks and I hate that.

I really want a GMC 2500 HD... the GMC version of the Chevy 2500 just looks a lot nicer to me.

Spoiler

Maybe one day I'll be able to own two vehicles. I'm close to paying my SS off. The payments are only $237, but I pay $400 every month to knock it out.

Yes, a six-speed. Also gives you 30 mpg on the highway.

If your going to buy a muscle car get a V8, for that price you could get a boss 302 super snake, 500 plus horse, too awesome. If your looking for a good car, thats fin to drive, gets about 23, 24 miles to the gallon get a 2005/2006 GTO, 400 horse and 400 pounds of torque stock, runs the same quarter mile as a new Camaro AND is cheaper, thats my next car after i sell my Chevelle.

Also, a 03/04 Mustang Mach 1 has over 300 horse, gets 28 MPG highway, very fun to drive, and under 10K were made each year so its isnt a common car, and is fast! Either way if your gonna get a muscle car, get a muscle car, not a girls car.

Re: OS Cars Thread

The past two days I've noticed a white Hyundai Genesis Coupe in the parking lot across the street looking mighty fine. What's the consensus on that? It appears to be slightly larger than the FRS/BRZ.

I like the newer model Genesis Coupe

Spoiler

My friend has the R-Spec 3.8 version and it's a good match up for my SS Cobalt.

Re: OS Cars Thread

I've never liked the lines on the Hyundai's. Too all over the place for me, although the front ends on the 2013's look a lot better.

Now THESE on the other hand.

Mine is a 2011 Mazda 3 GX, pretty much stock except I opted for the comfort package. I bought her brand new just over a year ago and I absolutely love her. The thing I like most about the 3 is that it's not your typical 'economy' car. They're agile, smooth, and very fun to drive. My passengers find it comfortable and most importantly, I fit my massive hockey bag with goalie gear in the trunk

And I don't care what anyone says, I love the smiley face. Nothing like trolling the awful drivers of the GTA with a devilish grin.
