Does Hot Hatch mean it blurs the background when you try to take a picture? Are corvettes hot hatches because I could be down for that. Anyway everyone knows the hottest hatch is the Nissan Leaf. (zero to 20 that is.)

Buy a robot car with the automatic brakes. The stupid radar cruise though will not let you follow at 30 feet. My next car is having both features I have better things to do beside paying attention.

Is the civic a hot hatch? The type R seems too expensive to me. Why can't they put a 2.4 L turbo in the cheap one. It can't cost any more money just drill bigger holes in the block.

Minivans are extremely practical and reliable. Test drove the Civic SI my head hit the roof and I couldn't figure out how to get the seat to lower. The hatch was fine but they didn't have an LX only a sport. The civic sedan lx though was better in every way except no turbo. I think with a new head and exhaust and SI differential swap it might work. Not sure if that differential swap is a bolt in since the engine is different need to check.

You can buy a brand new stick civic with an old school 4 banger that has 150 hp for $18k brand new with zero ish interest financing. It is fantastic to shift so smooth. The engine is not direct injected so probably run until you die.

My 90s GM car was assembled with glue that in 10 years dries out and loses all adhesion. I see VW has perfected the process to 2 months.

Your summer tires will get destroyed by cold temps the rubber chunks apart. I bought a ford with summer tires in the snow belt and the guy obviously drove all winter cause the tires were chunky, lol. Ford is so dumb.

Quite A Tool posted:So I might be heading back to New England (NH/VT’ish) and I’m considering dropping the FIST to something that will fit the area. Before I get a 5.0 F150 (wife doesn’t think a Mustang GT is reasonable) what can y’all tell me about the WRX? I know we’re skipping out of hatch territory but I still want some heat in my daily. Get the F150. States have stopped fixing pot holes.

Midjack posted:Yes, new Si plus upgrades is an alternative to new R that costs less up front and may result in a superior outcome over time. Plus you get a car you will never be able to sell so you got that going for you.

It was part of a $3500 option package on my M3 until they were legally mandated to have it as standard Look that is nearly 35 bucks in parts you trying to bankrupt them!

It's really difficult for me to give up my XRS Matrix for something with similar-ish power with 400lbs more to lug around. I wonder if I can swap that gearbox into my vibe gt
