I want to buy a new Coupe for a base price of $26,000 or less and at least 30 MPG highway. Any suggestions?

He's obviously a penis-insecure domestifag who doesn't care how a car handles so long as it makes other idiots think he's not gay, by looking menacing and sounding powerful.
Which is funny since nobody outside that demographic actually attributes any virility to fat autotragic ameribarges.

>>4637253 >You think Americans haven't been bitching about Europe and Australia getting better cars than us for years ? The Ausfag car industry only got back on its feet a little under 10 years ago (you can even pinpoint it particular models- the Ford BA and Holden VX series II).
The local car industry went through an amazingly shitty malaise period from the early 80s through to early 00s, culminating in gems such as the VN Commodore (an under engineered, poorly cobbled together partsbin raiding exercise) and AU Falcon.
The grass always seems greener on the other side.

oh yeah, and a survival bottle that totally helps me surviving. i mean, i always get stuck in dunes when i travel with my NX2000 through the desert and stuff. that bottle will probably replace the ninja as my next drift charm.

What does /o/ think of bike leathers? Personally i would never ride my bike without them and i just dont trust they kevlar padded jeans and jackets, the day moto gp racers stop wearing leathers i will. No doubt /o/ will be totally against them

I have 3 sets of leathers (trying to sell one though). I only wear them when I go to the mountains (and the track, when I eventually have some money and time). I wear textile or maybe lather jacket+kevlar jeans, with armor and comfortable entry level track boots, when I DD since those are the most sensible choices. Impact protection is more relevant than abrasion protection in an urban environment anyway.

I'm thinking about getting a car, I know I want a Subaru Legacy. I came across one that looked in good condition but figured I'd shoot it at the car minds of /o/ just in case. It's a 2000, with 125,000 miles on it; oh and it's a GT 2.5. They want 4500 for it, but I figure I can haggle it a bit since it's a Craigslist thing. Pic related...it's the car.

Suzuki, wtf are you doing?

>>4635978 It actually ceased production since 2009 due to emissions in either Europe or japan, I forgot. The ones still being sold in America are leftovers.
They haven't officially announced it yet, but Suzuki America actually removed it from their line up since 2010. The main model page still shows it since that page covers every model from 2007 I think.

>>4636113 Pants on head retarded, that was one of their most loved and successful models. Its like they are just giving up a whole market segment to KTM and Husky (or another Japanese brand).

>>4636774 not really. given chance, most people would rather get a DRZ400E, swap wheels, and plate it. Although that is pretty hard to do now.
There were rumors of suzuki replacing it with a RMZ450SM, but that was based on an image of a race team's bike at a motoshow.

Hey /o/, I thought I'd ask your opinion on this. I'm not a car guy, I'm slowly getting interested in this stuff and I've been doing a lot of research on the car I just bought. I purchased a 94 3KGT SL for 3.5K All of the forums and sites I look at for info are about the VR4. Did I get an alright deal for this? People talk about the VR4 and say anything else is garbage, but I assume they are racing/care about performance. I'm just a 19 year old kid who needs a car for work, and since my work has me driving all over I'd like a car that looks nice. I trust this guy but I'd just like /o/s opinion since I know nothing about cars, thanks. I won't be picking it up until a couple weeks and I didn't take any pictures, but here's the info I do know about it.>Exterior is excellent, just a bit dirty. Needs a wash. >Interior sucks, It's leather but it looks old. I care very little about it though. >Supposedly the previous owner put over 1k into the sound system. I don't know the info on it but it sounds really nice. >other little gadgets like radar detector and a Cd/dvd/ipod/GPS-in-one device. It's older (I can use a stylus or fingernail instead of my actual finger). Nice extras but it doesn't matter to me when purchasing. >Automatic, I can't drive manual so it's not an option anyways. My previous car was a 1993 Altima. It being my first car and no one teaching me about maintenance (I assumed it ran on unicorn farts) I totally destroyed it. I am now learning how to car.

Had a friend who bought a so-called 'Mint' VR4 coupe. I looked it over and it seemed to be in good shape. Owner had service records and the car was basically spotless. Less than three months later one of the turbos had developed an oil leak, two electronically controlled dampers had went bad and the 3rd-gear synchro started making noise going into gear. I offered to replaced the actuators for the shocks for him - only to find out you can't buy the actuators seperately. The car is cool mind you - active dampers, steering, active aero and plenty of power - but its a Mitsubishi and is as reliable as a Talon/Eclipse of the same generation. Tons of problems that result from nothing but time.

>>4637281 Mine is not a VR4 nor Turbo, just base with some fancy features and more weight (I'm pretty sure).

I bought a base model a few years ago from my dad's friend for 2.5k. It was in good condition. Since then I had to replace the clutch, the clutch master and slave cylinder and the flex pipe. I've got 110k miles on her now. It's my DD (because fuck having a car with comfortable backseats, damn ride moochers) and it serves its purpose.

>>4637284 Didn't catch that. Granted the SL is FWD has the older Diamante-derived SOHC V6 - but assuming it has less to go wrong you're probably better off. $3.5k isn't bad so long as its not a shitbox.
It's not yellow, is it?
