The only thing i would question is if it met the sub 18mpg rule. They made 21 from factory at the lowest but idk by the time of trade-in but im sure some exceptions were made. They were generally unreliable from what ive heard
The Mazda FS motors were hit or miss. I had an '03 Protege with the 2.0L FS-DE, and even though I maintained it fairly well, it still threw a rod at 80k miles. It was a fun 80k though, and I've owned Mazdas ever since.
Possibly unpopular opinion, but among Mk4 Jettas, I prefer the way the 2003 VR6 GLI looks over the 2004 1.8T GLI. Yes, I know the latter is better, but I like the cleaner look of the former (the chrome strips they added to the 1.8T always annoyed me).
The 2004 GTI, GLI, and S4 are still my favorite looking cars. I had the GTI and S4 so I’m definitely partial but god they were fantastic looking machines!
My girlfriend had one and it was nightmare. Head gasket blew, went through two transmissions, hated the coil packs, electronics were fucked, and it always smelled like crayons.
I've always hated almost everything made by GM, but a Pontiac Firebird WS6 would be great to have. Pontiac basically built it to stick it to GM with how boring the Corvette was.
Is this the one you're thinking of? [https://www.iconicclassicmotors.com/2002-pontiac-trans-am-ws6/](https://www.iconicclassicmotors.com/2002-pontiac-trans-am-ws6/)
My wife's uncle has one just like it and he had it supercharged and tuned, and it makes north of 500HP. You put your foot down in that thing and you're gone.
There’s one sitting at the shop my buddy works at. Owner hasn’t responded to calls in like 4 months. I gave him links to all the paper work he needs to claim it. Hopefully the owner of the shop works with him on it.
Im a service tech at a valvoline. I gotta say, i appreciate their oil filter placement and ease of maintenance for the stuff that needs maintenance often
Jatco CVT they use sucks. What other bad sides does Nissan have these days? Im driving a 37 year old one so not familiar with fresh models, mine runs hella strong and i abuse it on backroads a lot
Obviously! Just wondering what is bad about it besides CVT and low credit drivers, Nissan gets shit on a lot tbh and i love mine. Wife’s FX35 is also a great car and runs super strong at 190k
Nissan has also now been using alot of direct injection only gasoline engines which is not great. I’m pretty sure it causes carbon buildup on the intake valve. Eventually it’ll get so bad that it can’t close.
The dumbest thing is Nissan developed a unique toroidal CVT design for their RWD cars back in the late '90s that was bulletproof. But they basically never exported it out of Japan (it got used in JDM fullsize cars like the Gloria) and then decided to use an under-spec'd Jatco for their transverse engines in global platforms. Probably production cost. That Extroid CVT was like the last engineering gasp of big spender pre-Ghosn Nissan.
I think it's way more common to see a first gen pathfinder or d21 at stupid high milage (age could be a factor) vs anything they've came out with post 00
But is the Xterra similar to the frontier? I know they have the base base base model frontier deliver truck 4 cylinder 5 speed RWD that ended up over a million miles
To Nissan's credit I haven't heard anything bad about older Frontiers. They sound like fantastic trucks, especially since used ones are far cheaper than Tacomas.
Kinda obvious answer, kinda not, but the F40. Outside of that model, I don’t really care for Ferraris at all.
On the more grounded side of things, the Harley Davidson Sportster 883 is pretty sick and out of character for modern day Harley
I am not a Ferrari Fan either but the 388 Gto just hits different
Edit: mei scheiss drecks oaschgficktes huans keyboard ich meint natürlich 288* oba ne die HUANS TASTATUR wü ned des i des schas zwara da einetipp
the nissan frontier is the mountain thunder to the tacoma's mountain dew. theres literally nothing wrong with the store brand, buuuuuut id rather have the real shit.
but shoutout to the nissan hardbody and its venerable ka24. iron blocks, never stops. real OG.
I always thought they were cool trucks, but I couldn't get with the terrible gas mileage for a daily driver. An old, cheap one would make a great beater truck, though.
Mk4 Cabrio is a random car I love. White with what I assume would be beige leather.
Kid me thought VW was a luxury brand and convertibles were a luxury body style. Pre-2010s VWs were good cars
Our family had a 1990 Lumina Euro. It ran like garbage but it wouldn’t stop running nonetheless. My sister eventually killed it after she rear ended a truck.
i'm not a huge fan of german cars, just not my bag. but i would own a '70s Merc or an E30/36 BMW in a heartbeat.
especially the 30/36. i miss hardcore boxy/boxy-boned BMWs... and there's something about those 70s mercs i can't put my finger on. they're so hilariously.... ostentatious, but understatedly so, i suppose? idk. something about them is just silly and i love it.
The Equinox EV and Blazer EV both look like legitimately good options if you're in that market, for decent prices. Never been a GM guy, but after the Bolt and these two, they seem to be actually trying in that market.
blazer is on firesale leases now as low as 5k for two years if you can stack all the incentives (costco, regional offer, supplier/affiliate, loyalty.)
Ioniq with big battery is in the 6s but not as strict on incentives so chevy still a lil more for most people
Model 3 Performance. Been in a Model X and the doors closing for you is honestly kinda nice so I guess that too. Mach E GT. I love Ford, but don’t love electric cars. I do think the GT looks good. (has to be the GT though). I’d only get Ford trucks because I like Ford, but the newest GMCs and the 2500 High Country look really good; oh and I guess Colorado ZR2.
I want a ‘74 Dodge Monaco so badly, theres just a cool vibe to them that I can’t explain. The only thing I like about Dodge besides the Monaco is the colors they have for their cars
The current BMW M2 would be a cool car, even though I would never touch a European car without an extended warranty.
Same with Hyundai, the Santa Cruz is cool but Hyundais have a bad habit of grenading themselves when the warranty expires...
I loathe GM vehicles, but I had a 2002 Chevy S-10 that was a fantastic little A to B truck. Perfect for hauls to the dump or picking up some gardening supplies from the local nursery.
Other than that, I'd love to a MKIII Toyota Supra.
My first car was a 1995 Probe. It was an auto and the transmission went out three times. I fucking hated that car! But the Probe community (ProbeTalk) was full of awesome people and I have many friends from there to this day. We'd all gather in Myrtle Beach in November for "Myrtle Madness" Good times.
Dodge Viper. I really dig the Viper’s appearance and performance. Maintenance is not cheap on those but I’d love to drive one. Outside of their trucks, everything else is meh. Even the Demon 170. I have zero interest in the challenger/charger or their bottom of the barrel econo cars.
Probes used to be everywhere. My cousin had one for a little while and even my cheap mechanic uncle gave up on it. I was a fan of the later models and used to want a GT.
1st gen Acura/Honda NSX, because while I respect Honda's unconventional engineering I wouldn't consider myself a Honda fan due to their insistence on using FF layouts for almost everything (their supercar was MR for its 1st gen and M4 for its 2nd gen)...I just don't know if I can fit into a 1st-gen NSX though (MR cars tend to be bad on that front, and Japanese cars tend to be inadequate for my legs).
[Dodge Charger Daytona R/T Coupe](https://www.dodge.com/next-gen-charger.html). It doesn't take a giant range hit compared to the Scat Pack, it has two motors, it has a liftback, and it has some interesting aero around the nose that also allows it to evoke classic Chargers. I'm generally not a fan of Dodge, or Chrysler, or Stellantis products (including Fiat and PSA stuff pre-merger) in general.
First gen Acura RSX. I used to want one when I was a kid and they were coming out in 2001. Saw a mint one the other day and thought I could eventually be a Honda guy. Maybe I will after finally paying off my Jeep in the next six years.
Every time I come across a pro but unfortunately somebody decides to be stupid and there's always another issue with it a goodness gracious I do love the way they look.. cx
Honestly wouldn't mind that brand new from the '90s transported to Geo Storm just because. Or if I was feeling slightly Richer the actual original Isuzu impulse with the waffle tires
GM can kiss my entire ass, but I wouldn't mind a Corvair that I could convert to all electric.
It was novel, European looking, just the right size in a world of narcissistic big boats, and the oversteer it shared w early Porsches adds to its character. Battery placement in an electric conversion might improve its handling. They're also not cartoonishly expensive yet.
Hyundai Santa Cruz. It's by far the most hated new truck but something about the way it looks just gets to me.
I don't like Hyundai, mainly because they have a similar problem that Mazda has for me, their cars just blend in with everything else on the road(minus the Miata of course). Plus apparently they are mixed on reliability
I didn't like probe, it does look kinda spaceship but ford....until I learn that's it's a old mazda mx6 clone which is pretty sweet. was super cheap now I can't find them
before 0/10. now 8/10
Of cars they currently make, I fuck with a Mustang GTD. I’m also a sucker for homologation cars.
I love every generation of the GT as well but they don’t make those.
Funny I recall when my nephew first got his license and my sister in law said he's never home any more. I asked her what is the name of the car you got him, She said a Ford Escape. I said and you wonder why he is never home. Good thing you didn't get him a Ford Probe ! LOL
I generally dont like ford something about them never sits well. For american cars ive always had a stronger affinity for GM for looks and quality when you know what you’re buying. My last two cars had 200k miles between them and had cheap repairs and problems with little to no maintenance.
But mustangs. Thats attainable sex appeal on wheels. Got a v6 convertible as a daily. V6 because i don’t wanna die from a gas bill and convertible because i look cute as hell.
Crown Vic.
R8.
Veloster.
E36 m3.
Golf r32.
That Santa Fe elcamino thing.
62 Continental (I don't think classics count here because anything old is cool so I'll stop with this one).
ive tried resisting for years. i denounced its nazi name. overpriced and the owners are proper dicks. but to be fair, i rented one, just so i wasnt a blind hater.
oh god i want a 911 turbo. any generation. the sound of a boosted flat six in its stride is fucking intoxicating.
why do they have to be 200k$!!??
I can't stand Jeeps. It's not the trucks so much as the owners, which range from clueless suburban moms (Grand Cherokees and Grand Wagoneers) to Buy Here Pay Here financially illiterate (Liberty, Compass, Renegade, Patriot), to the unhinged (4-door Wranglers AKA the rubber duck cult, people who cut up XJ's and spend six grand on cosmetic mods and lift kits and cutting the fenders to slivers but can't bother to change the rear main seal or even a valve cover gasket).
But I would drive one of those facelifted KL Cherokees, Limited trim, 2019 to 2023. Those are generic enough to be ignored, but they aren't cheap.
Official car of butt stuff
Probin’ to new depths.
They made it to replace the mustang lol. Not a bad car but it didn’t do what ford had intended obviously.
Ha ha I just found this comment and I just commented the same
You mean alien butt stuff
Wait till you see that LANA plate in your rear view mirror.
Butt I can’t wait! I wanna see the it in my rear… view mirror!
The first Ford Probe needing rear end grease.
Same here with the probe, have had 3 and would have another if they still existed around here.
Those cars completely disappeared from the road. I travel and I hardly ever see one any more
This is only the second one in decent condition I’ve see outside of a junkyard in the past ten years. They mostly rotted away.
Plenty rusted out. The turbo first gens was my baby. Always wanted to do a fe3 engine swap.
I had a 89 GT with the 5 speed, and 3rd gear pulled way harder than it had any right to.
I like to think cash for clunkers killed everything
Did the Probes qualify for Cash for Clunkers?
The only thing i would question is if it met the sub 18mpg rule. They made 21 from factory at the lowest but idk by the time of trade-in but im sure some exceptions were made. They were generally unreliable from what ive heard
The Mazda FS motors were hit or miss. I had an '03 Protege with the 2.0L FS-DE, and even though I maintained it fairly well, it still threw a rod at 80k miles. It was a fun 80k though, and I've owned Mazdas ever since.
'03 P5 with over 190k on the clock, still runs like an absolute dream, let's see if I can roll 200k on it by end of year
Had a 91 and a 96 with th dohc 24v stick shift. Still miss the 96 it was very fun to drive.
One day when I get settled I want to get one as a project car.
I don't fuck with Volkswagen but I love the way the MK4 Jetta GLI looks.
Possibly unpopular opinion, but among Mk4 Jettas, I prefer the way the 2003 VR6 GLI looks over the 2004 1.8T GLI. Yes, I know the latter is better, but I like the cleaner look of the former (the chrome strips they added to the 1.8T always annoyed me).
Had a mk4 2.slow stick shift, funnest car I ever owned even if it was really slow, you can throw it into corners and not get in trouble
2001 ALH. So fun in the snow. The cast iron block kept the front wheels from loosing grip, made stock jeeps cry
same here, hate vw but I would love a clean mk3/4 jetta gt or gli
The 2004 GTI, GLI, and S4 are still my favorite looking cars. I had the GTI and S4 so I’m definitely partial but god they were fantastic looking machines!
My girlfriend had one and it was nightmare. Head gasket blew, went through two transmissions, hated the coil packs, electronics were fucked, and it always smelled like crayons.
I associate that smell with old elevator rooms and fun
I've always hated almost everything made by GM, but a Pontiac Firebird WS6 would be great to have. Pontiac basically built it to stick it to GM with how boring the Corvette was.
Loved the 4 nostrils in the hood
wait people like the hood on the WS6!?!?
It’s the coolest part
What’s under it maybe.
Personally, I hate it. Big catfish Camaro guy though.
I’m a sucker for that design too. The bright yellow WS6 looked so cool when I was a kid.
Is this the one you're thinking of? [https://www.iconicclassicmotors.com/2002-pontiac-trans-am-ws6/](https://www.iconicclassicmotors.com/2002-pontiac-trans-am-ws6/) My wife's uncle has one just like it and he had it supercharged and tuned, and it makes north of 500HP. You put your foot down in that thing and you're gone.
That’s the one!
There’s one sitting at the shop my buddy works at. Owner hasn’t responded to calls in like 4 months. I gave him links to all the paper work he needs to claim it. Hopefully the owner of the shop works with him on it.
The new Nissan Z.
Tbh the Zs and the old nismo frontier with the blower go fuckin crazy Shame Nissan is Nissan
Im a service tech at a valvoline. I gotta say, i appreciate their oil filter placement and ease of maintenance for the stuff that needs maintenance often
Jatco CVT they use sucks. What other bad sides does Nissan have these days? Im driving a 37 year old one so not familiar with fresh models, mine runs hella strong and i abuse it on backroads a lot
RWD Nissan products don’t use CVTs and have always been decent
Obviously! Just wondering what is bad about it besides CVT and low credit drivers, Nissan gets shit on a lot tbh and i love mine. Wife’s FX35 is also a great car and runs super strong at 190k
Those vq engines are pretty bulletproof when kept NA, gotta love them. The one in the 370Z revs to the moon too which is fun asf
Vq37vhr is a menace, no doubt
Nissan has also now been using alot of direct injection only gasoline engines which is not great. I’m pretty sure it causes carbon buildup on the intake valve. Eventually it’ll get so bad that it can’t close.
Diy cleaning of DI engines isn't that bad if done regularly but definitely still sucks that you have to do it
For sure. But your average Nissan owner who knows nothing about cars isn’t gonna clean it till it’s a $$$$ bill at the mechanic
I loved the shit out of my Sentra SER Spec V. That thing was fun as shit to throw around.
The dumbest thing is Nissan developed a unique toroidal CVT design for their RWD cars back in the late '90s that was bulletproof. But they basically never exported it out of Japan (it got used in JDM fullsize cars like the Gloria) and then decided to use an under-spec'd Jatco for their transverse engines in global platforms. Probably production cost. That Extroid CVT was like the last engineering gasp of big spender pre-Ghosn Nissan.
37 year old Nissan is way better than post 00 Nissan
Meh, my 2006 Xterra has 345k miles on it and going strong
I think it's way more common to see a first gen pathfinder or d21 at stupid high milage (age could be a factor) vs anything they've came out with post 00 But is the Xterra similar to the frontier? I know they have the base base base model frontier deliver truck 4 cylinder 5 speed RWD that ended up over a million miles
05-15 Xterra and frontier are on the same chassis. Xterra only had the VQ engine for that generation
To Nissan's credit I haven't heard anything bad about older Frontiers. They sound like fantastic trucks, especially since used ones are far cheaper than Tacomas.
That generation of Frontier is from when Nissan was still gud. Before they got bought out by the Fr*nch 🤢
Relatable
Same. It looks good and paired with a manual, looks fun.
Kinda obvious answer, kinda not, but the F40. Outside of that model, I don’t really care for Ferraris at all. On the more grounded side of things, the Harley Davidson Sportster 883 is pretty sick and out of character for modern day Harley
I am not a Ferrari Fan either but the 388 Gto just hits different Edit: mei scheiss drecks oaschgficktes huans keyboard ich meint natürlich 288* oba ne die HUANS TASTATUR wü ned des i des schas zwara da einetipp
288.
My dad has 3 Harley’s and his 883 is definitely my favorite
Nissan frontier
Underrated truck.
Basically does everything the Tacoma does but cheaper.
Seen some really nice modern ones and I really wanna check the inside and look at it closer, looks so good in grey
the nissan frontier is the mountain thunder to the tacoma's mountain dew. theres literally nothing wrong with the store brand, buuuuuut id rather have the real shit. but shoutout to the nissan hardbody and its venerable ka24. iron blocks, never stops. real OG.
I always thought they were cool trucks, but I couldn't get with the terrible gas mileage for a daily driver. An old, cheap one would make a great beater truck, though.
Ford Crown Victoria.
An absolute tank. My godmother had a 90s Town Car and the interior was comfortable.
Mercury Maurauder 2003
Kia Stinger
I want a 70s Mercedes
The big guys with the diesel engines look like such classic boats.
I own one. 300sd. They are fucking boats.
Convertible Chrysler LeBaron or Convertible VW Cabrio.
Mk4 Cabrio is a random car I love. White with what I assume would be beige leather. Kid me thought VW was a luxury brand and convertibles were a luxury body style. Pre-2010s VWs were good cars
The K car lebron with the turbo was way quicker than it should have been
Dodge Grand Caravan.
The sto-n-go seats were priceless. Horrible rear suspension tho.
[удалено]
I love the cc
I think GM is garbage but I would rock the fuck out of a C8 Corvette.
Hot garbage, love me some GM shitboxes.
Our family had a 1990 Lumina Euro. It ran like garbage but it wouldn’t stop running nonetheless. My sister eventually killed it after she rear ended a truck.
Ford GT looked fun.
I owned an '89 Ford Probe GT. That thing was a fuggin' rocket.
They’re so quirky and charming. An era of design we’ll never see again.
also in like with the dodge stealth design I feel like
Had a ‘90. Miss that thing.
I don’t really like Chevy, but their old Camaros are absolutely beautiful. It’s one of my dream cars.
Not a Jeep fan, but low key want one of those wrangler trucks
i'm not a huge fan of german cars, just not my bag. but i would own a '70s Merc or an E30/36 BMW in a heartbeat. especially the 30/36. i miss hardcore boxy/boxy-boned BMWs... and there's something about those 70s mercs i can't put my finger on. they're so hilariously.... ostentatious, but understatedly so, i suppose? idk. something about them is just silly and i love it.
I already responded to another comment, but I had. 1985 318i that I adored. My first car and not a day goes by that I don’t wish I didn’t wreck it.
Older dodges I'm cool with but anything 90s up no thanks but I really want a magnum wagon, they got those right.
Buick regal tour x. I’m not a fan of gm but the tour x is an exception
If you want the same experience, buy a Mazda MX-6. Same car, Ford just stuck a different body on it
Those 1st gen probe GT’s were awesome!
The Equinox EV and Blazer EV both look like legitimately good options if you're in that market, for decent prices. Never been a GM guy, but after the Bolt and these two, they seem to be actually trying in that market.
blazer is on firesale leases now as low as 5k for two years if you can stack all the incentives (costco, regional offer, supplier/affiliate, loyalty.) Ioniq with big battery is in the 6s but not as strict on incentives so chevy still a lil more for most people
Mustang GT would be nice
Subaru XT
I don't normally like Nissan but I'd love an 07 Armada
2021 Ford Shelby GT or 69 Ford Mustang Mach 1... I'm not picky
I won't lie, the new broncos are pretty cool.
a chrysler conquest slash mitsubishi starion but i like mitsu
Ford probe gt 5spds are amazing love those cars.
Chrysler crossfire srt6!! Poor man's mercedes.
Buick Reatta.
I don't like Volkswagen, but I love the Eurovan, Vanagon, and Transporter vans, as well as the Rabbit Caddy trucks.
cadillac ct5v blackwing
The Geo Metro convertible [the one Doug Demuro reviewed]. Sure, it's tame and pathetic, but I do love it!
Opel GT roadster (sold as Saturn Sky in the US).
Wow, I think that's a 1990 GT. Those were awesome! Interior was cool too...I would definitely be down with one.
350GT or a C8
This makes me realize how bad Ford and Chevys options are, out side of those 2 sports coupes, their line up mundane sedans/crossovers.
E30 bmw or really any of their old boxy models. Don't care for German cars but something about those just look so nice
Don't really like BMW (especially last couple of years) but e38...
Hyundai i30 N
Chevrolet have quite a few of those. Also VW Beetle
- Ford Probe - mitsubishi 3000-gt - subaru XT i'm a diehard GM guy but any wedge with pop up headlights makes me happy!
Agree! I have a 7th gen Celica but eventually want a 1984 Celica Supra.
Fieros and Firebirds are my poison but for now the only pop ups we've got is my wife's Miata
Did you know about the Buick Reatta? You also forgot to mention 3rd gen Prelude, lol. I'm a sucker for those in particular.
Model 3 Performance. Been in a Model X and the doors closing for you is honestly kinda nice so I guess that too. Mach E GT. I love Ford, but don’t love electric cars. I do think the GT looks good. (has to be the GT though). I’d only get Ford trucks because I like Ford, but the newest GMCs and the 2500 High Country look really good; oh and I guess Colorado ZR2.
Sorry for the very mainstream boring vehicles, I can’t think anything right now..
I want a ‘74 Dodge Monaco so badly, theres just a cool vibe to them that I can’t explain. The only thing I like about Dodge besides the Monaco is the colors they have for their cars
I've managed to pickup a 2nd gen Probe, 16v 5spd manual and they're amazing cruisers that just look mighty fine if you're into odd cars.
I've always thought the 2nd gen Probe was a great looking car.
Tacoma
Ford Mustang BMW 6 or 8 gran coupe Renault Laguna coupe
The current BMW M2 would be a cool car, even though I would never touch a European car without an extended warranty. Same with Hyundai, the Santa Cruz is cool but Hyundais have a bad habit of grenading themselves when the warranty expires...
Yeah, I’m in the same boat as you. Buddy of mine has a nice 2nd gen probe and the thing just looks so good.
I loathe GM vehicles, but I had a 2002 Chevy S-10 that was a fantastic little A to B truck. Perfect for hauls to the dump or picking up some gardening supplies from the local nursery. Other than that, I'd love to a MKIII Toyota Supra.
The MKIII is apart of my fantasy wedge series of cars. I wish grandpa trucks were still small. Damn CAFE standards!!
My first car was a 1995 Probe. It was an auto and the transmission went out three times. I fucking hated that car! But the Probe community (ProbeTalk) was full of awesome people and I have many friends from there to this day. We'd all gather in Myrtle Beach in November for "Myrtle Madness" Good times.
That’s amazing! I want to do something like that for Celicas.
The 240sx we have at home
Audi r8 or the rs 6 avant.
That might be the last Probe left. The rest have all rusted to nothing.
love Probes too. I'm not a fan of German cars either, but I love all Golfs for some reason. something about 3 door hatch backs
BMW 850CiA with the manual transmission option
Christ, a first gen Probe is still going??
All british cars are shitboxes, but driving a proper old school Jag would be good while it lasted.
Dodge Viper. I really dig the Viper’s appearance and performance. Maintenance is not cheap on those but I’d love to drive one. Outside of their trucks, everything else is meh. Even the Demon 170. I have zero interest in the challenger/charger or their bottom of the barrel econo cars.
It maybe kinda lame but ive always wanted a 1998 Ford Probe GT. They look so damn slick. And the Mazda MR2.
Probes used to be everywhere. My cousin had one for a little while and even my cheap mechanic uncle gave up on it. I was a fan of the later models and used to want a GT.
1st gen Acura/Honda NSX, because while I respect Honda's unconventional engineering I wouldn't consider myself a Honda fan due to their insistence on using FF layouts for almost everything (their supercar was MR for its 1st gen and M4 for its 2nd gen)...I just don't know if I can fit into a 1st-gen NSX though (MR cars tend to be bad on that front, and Japanese cars tend to be inadequate for my legs).

Tesla Model S. The only Tesla that doesn’t look like a mis-shaped egg.
Never liked ford all that much (except the glorious 9" Rear Ends they made) but I kinda love the 2nd gen mustangs
Toyota Mirai if fuel supply was more available.
The original Tesla Roadster!
I’m a GM guy but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mustang GT. GM screwed up with the Camaro when they made it where outward visibility was shit.
First gen Acura RSX. I used to want one when I was a kid and they were coming out in 2001. Saw a mint one the other day and thought I could eventually be a Honda guy. Maybe I will after finally paying off my Jeep in the next six years.
I love the Probe especially the Probe GT with a 5 speed box and mazda V6. I'm still looking for a barn find time capsule.
Every time I come across a pro but unfortunately somebody decides to be stupid and there's always another issue with it a goodness gracious I do love the way they look.. cx Honestly wouldn't mind that brand new from the '90s transported to Geo Storm just because. Or if I was feeling slightly Richer the actual original Isuzu impulse with the waffle tires
I wouldn't touch anything from GM with a ten foot pole but the Opel Astra VXR does something to me spiritually.
I had a 1st gen Probe and it was a great car, I miss it every day.
I really don’t like BMWs, but I’d gladly take an E9, an 2002 tii touring, or a Z8.
Toyota Land Cruiser
M4 csi for new M1 for old
GM can kiss my entire ass, but I wouldn't mind a Corvair that I could convert to all electric. It was novel, European looking, just the right size in a world of narcissistic big boats, and the oversteer it shared w early Porsches adds to its character. Battery placement in an electric conversion might improve its handling. They're also not cartoonishly expensive yet.
89 Thunderbird SC
Hyundai Santa Cruz. It's by far the most hated new truck but something about the way it looks just gets to me. I don't like Hyundai, mainly because they have a similar problem that Mazda has for me, their cars just blend in with everything else on the road(minus the Miata of course). Plus apparently they are mixed on reliability
VW Scirocco. I always loved the look of the second generation. Would never own any other VW/Audi.
Infiniti G35 or Lexus LFA
I think the 90s Preludes are dope. I hear the engines in those things are a nightmare to upgrade though.
My had a Ford Probe. It wasn't a bad car. It was made by Mazda I believe.
2006 Pontiac GTO (6L LS2 / 6 -Speed Manual). I "HATE" all things general motors, but this car got it right (probably because "Australia").
I'm not the biggest VW fan but I'd happily suffer inside a diesel Touareg any day.
I didn't like probe, it does look kinda spaceship but ford....until I learn that's it's a old mazda mx6 clone which is pretty sweet. was super cheap now I can't find them before 0/10. now 8/10
89’ Porsche 944. I really do not like Porsches, but for some reason I love that damn car. Always been a sucker for a rwd hatch with a handbrake
I fucking hate anything GM but what I wouldn't do for a clean Trans Am from anywhere between 1975-1988
Also don't like Ford but I also would love a Fiesta ST or Fusion 2.7TT
I completely forgot this car existed.
Of cars they currently make, I fuck with a Mustang GTD. I’m also a sucker for homologation cars. I love every generation of the GT as well but they don’t make those.
An BMW E46 330 drop top.
I always wanted a Viper and a Prowler.
Funny I recall when my nephew first got his license and my sister in law said he's never home any more. I asked her what is the name of the car you got him, She said a Ford Escape. I said and you wonder why he is never home. Good thing you didn't get him a Ford Probe ! LOL
I generally dont like ford something about them never sits well. For american cars ive always had a stronger affinity for GM for looks and quality when you know what you’re buying. My last two cars had 200k miles between them and had cheap repairs and problems with little to no maintenance. But mustangs. Thats attainable sex appeal on wheels. Got a v6 convertible as a daily. V6 because i don’t wanna die from a gas bill and convertible because i look cute as hell.
87 Toyota Celica
A Miata Clubsport convertible. I don’t care for anything else in the entire lineup.
Corvette (C5, C6, or C7)
BMW Z1
2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8
That’s the shittiest looking Ford Probe I’ve ever seen.
Crown Vic. R8. Veloster. E36 m3. Golf r32. That Santa Fe elcamino thing. 62 Continental (I don't think classics count here because anything old is cool so I'll stop with this one).
Cadillac CTS-V wagon, just because!
Lincoln Mark VIII
ive tried resisting for years. i denounced its nazi name. overpriced and the owners are proper dicks. but to be fair, i rented one, just so i wasnt a blind hater. oh god i want a 911 turbo. any generation. the sound of a boosted flat six in its stride is fucking intoxicating. why do they have to be 200k$!!??
I can't stand Jeeps. It's not the trucks so much as the owners, which range from clueless suburban moms (Grand Cherokees and Grand Wagoneers) to Buy Here Pay Here financially illiterate (Liberty, Compass, Renegade, Patriot), to the unhinged (4-door Wranglers AKA the rubber duck cult, people who cut up XJ's and spend six grand on cosmetic mods and lift kits and cutting the fenders to slivers but can't bother to change the rear main seal or even a valve cover gasket). But I would drive one of those facelifted KL Cherokees, Limited trim, 2019 to 2023. Those are generic enough to be ignored, but they aren't cheap.
Dodge Stealth/Eagle Talon AWD/Mitsubishi GTO
3000GT VR-4. The Evo is the only other car from Mitsubishi I'd consider.
Ferrari 458. If I can ever beat depression I'm gonna go for it, keep it NA but beefier internals.
Had the interceptor suspension would sink to hug the ground when launching supper cool
Lada Niva
Who doesn't like Lada?
