MustardFacial posted:440xi Gran Coupe M Performance. Ha, the 440i GC was one I dailied for a few weeks when I was trying to make my mind up, not the xDrive or M Performance though. It's a sweet ride but something about it just didn't gel with me, maybe because it was RWD it didn't feel quite as planted on the road. That twin scroll straight six is an absolute peach of an engine though.

It's also sort of replacing the MX5 as the go to cheap trackaday car in the stockish Time Attacker classes as it doesn't require a roll bar. The ND has a better suspension design though.

It's good on gas, reliable, and can fit 4 17-18" tires and a jack with the seats folded down. Easy to drive and park too (it's actually smaller than my S13 240SX).

Quizzlefish posted:Please explain this lease policy. I'd love to go EV through a tax break. Can you buy it at the end for a decent price? So a lease means I give it back after 3 years, no option to buy it. Salary sacrifice is a thing done through a lot of workplaces here in the UK where your work has arranged a deal where you can use part of your pre-tax salary to pay for things monthly. It's very popular with buying bikes (technically for commuting) but recently places have started doing it for EVs too. The lease I have has insurance, servicing and all the extras lumped in free as well so essentially I don't have to worry about anything except paying the flat rate out of my gross pay. On top of that, splitting the cost 50/50 with my girlfriend means it's very affordable.

That's a bummer, my Golf lease just ended and I'm buying it because the payoff is comically low compared to what the car is worth.

There's no way you could ever convince me to buy a Miata after owning an old RX7. Mazda may have good vehicle dynamics but their build quality is garbage as a result.

My first 2 cars were RX-7's. The first one was an FB and the rust was so bad that the rear suspension collapsed and the driveshaft would rub against the body. Still it was so much fun to drive that I bought an FC with an engine so shot I had to pull the bottom plugs and pour in a spoonful of oil just to get it to start. I thought it was the apex seals because lol rotary but when I finally pulled it apart the housings and rear irons had massive gouges in them and at that point it was new engine time so I dumped it for cheap.

We don’t get the 1 series anymore in the US and a 3 series felt really big when I last sat in one. I’d be coming from a wrecked 86, so that’s the size of car I’m used to.

I find I worry much more about if I'm damaging the car than I ever did in my Audi. MustardFacial fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Mar 23, 2022 |
