morothar posted:I think the closest you’ll will get to that idea is represented by the smaller Lexus lineup - basically the upscale analogues of the Prius/Corolla. A little off topic, but I am hard shopping to replace a 4runner I want to sell. My wife and I have been thinking of getting a new car with a warranty. We have been looking at the new corolla hatchback SE w/ manual. I've gotta say the corolla's interior has come a long way. It's nice. With the given features, style, design, finish, and only ~$20k-21K out the door, it has impressed me. https://www.toyota.com/corollahatchback/photo-gallery/interior no lube so what fucked around with this message at 17:27 on May 18, 2021 |

Russian Bear posted:I saw one parked in my neighborhood the other day and I really like the styling. They nailed the fun sporty exterior. I'd cross shop the mazda 3 manual if I were you as well, it'll be more expensive but you'll get a much nicer interior. We are cross shopping the Mazda and civic hatch. The Corolla hatch does have small storage, and cramped rear seating for adults. Probably the two biggest downsides. It's weird because I would have never guessed I would have so many Toyotas a decade ago. We have an 07 4runner that we want to sell, a 2004 Prius, and the mr2. We would still have the Prius which has surprising cargo space. For our current activities, like camping at state parts for a handful of days, taking the dog to the park, or whatever short of moving, it works perfect. We end up taking in more than the 4runner. The Prius is a dope rear end car for what it is. Plan to drive the Prius into the ground or until the battery dies/CAT theft happens* and it just make sense. Then see what's out there, probably a van of some sort. One thing the corolla has is the intelligent manual or whatever they call it. rev matches shifts to smooth it out, keeps cruising speed while changing gears, electric parking brake automatically release when shifted into gear and hill hold. It's part of the reason she is considering the manual. She drove a manual for the first 5 years she had her licenses. She will do fine, but it is something she likes as a confidence booster. no lube so what fucked around with this message at 18:20 on May 18, 2021 |

Applebees Appetizer posted:The Civic is a better car overall. You might wanna test drive the Corolla with the manual....It's gutless. That's all good thoughts. Thank you. At the end of the day, it will be my wife's decision. It's the reliable car she needs for the next 10 years. Because of the inventory delays, a lot of these small cars aren't getting off boats until mid June. The plan is to lock in prices with refundable first right of refusals, and already have our outside financing secured. Then see what incentives are offered when the paperwork would be able to be completed. Test drive them all back to back. See what financing options they offer. So far we put down a refundable $500 for right of first refusal on a corolla hatch spec'd how the wife wants for $21.3k out the door. It would get in late June. We are hitting up Mazda and Honda next. See what Memorial Day holds. Get rid of 4runner in the mean time. Then make a choice.

The supply is hosed. We are using it as a way to get the exact car we want on the lot to test drive with a known max cost going in. It's a call option that only costs an hour of emails and short drive. Worst comes to worst we get our money back. and burned an afternoon of time. mock, but what would you do if looking new?

Applebees Appetizer posted:I probably would have been all over the base Civic hatch if it had the K series in it, but I avoided it because of the turbo motor issues. Maybe it would have been fine I don't know, but i didn't want to deal with any bullshit on a brand new car. what did you end up getting? Like you, I'd prefer NA for a new car. Part of the corolla with manual is that it will probably be very reliable. I've got a fun car. The used market is what's driving the idea to sell the 4runner and get a fuel efficient & reliable econobox with a warranty. Sellers market. We have a lot more due diligence to do in the coming weeks.

The 2.0 6mt Corolla hatch is a good and fun car. Its engaging and you can flog it without risking negligent driver charges. We have 3k mike on a 2021 SE we picked up in July. For 20k out the door, i’ve Been really happy with the car. Sorta like a 90s level luxury interior/ ride quality, good suspension/handling, engine is fine enough, shifts feel nice, imt is cool. After the warranty it will transition from my wife’s commuter to my dumb car, my plan is to get some nice dampeners/stiffen it up a little, add long runner header/exhaust/, sticky tires and drive the piss out of it.

The Camry and Rav4 have shared the same TNGA platform for the last few years. That handling gap might be even smaller nowadays. I have no idea about the current Camry/Rav4, but the new Corolla hatch has good handling. It's hard not to go full talking head fan boy because I have really enjoyed mine. My hot take is that the new TNGA platforms might not all be poo poo for handling

mobby_6kl posted:IIRC think they sold like poo poo but it's still a good idea. Most of the performance of the Corvette without the garbage interior or wobbly body parts for the more refined public. nah, still kinda garbage interior it's gm PBCrunch posted:This is GM we're talking about. You know the Corv-illac interior was a little different but equally lovely. I've seen some videos about working on these cars and some pretty mundane stuff gets very expensive in a hurry because of the rarity and the transmission-in-the-back layout. this, head lights, magnetic suspension, drop top, etc etc higher maintenance costs, all the gm goodness my old man has a silver one with ~150k miles on it and a black one with ~45k. The black one just got bumped in the parking lot and finding a new bumper has been a helluva thing

bull3964 posted:The reason for the CVT only on the upper trims is Subaru thinks that they need to push eyesight at every opportunity and has made no moves to make it work with a manual transmission even though companies like VW have adaptive cruise with manuals and there's no reason at all why lane keeping should be an automatic transmission only feature. That would be a pretty big cop out Toyota has those safety features on the $20k 6mt Corolla, and Toyota is their #1 share holder.

Corolla hatchback 6mt It’s a good chassis, p/w ~na miata and has rev matching downshift in IMT mode. Also has hill hold. Have him find one on a lot to test drive. Before jumping into a twin. Very forgiving car to drive stick with. Would be great as a first intro to manual.

Idk, I’m kinda thinking a base manual supra would be sweet. Normal struts/springs, all the weight savings is from loping off first two cylinders and pushing the weight balance between the axels, 3100lbs, 250hp/295ft lb 2022 msrp for base is ~44k
