If one is in the market for a “cheap version” performance car, how can one justify spending $23k for a new hot hatch versus $23k used for a real sports car?

I’ll gladly take a C5 Z06 over a FiST, but I guess I’m just looking for a handout.

And if you can’t turn a wrench, stick to Corollas.

and Sport makes the engine respond a bit more aggressively and stiffens up the suspension.

Your lack of a Buick with a Chinese flag wearing deal-with-it pair sunglasses on the hood disappoints me.

Pretty much this.
After last year’s autoshows, I can confidently say the build quality of the average mid-level GM product (mainly Buicks) has finally reached the level of my GTO.

Same the PC shit for Jezebel.

Good.

Robb Holland, you are now my new favorite Jalopnik contributer.
This article has a refreshing lack of the typical Jalopnik hipster hyperbole.
Clean, direct, and informative writing, thank you.

As someone with a GTO that has taken numerous road trips, including those with backseat passengers, I say HELL YES.

Everyone that sits in the back says the same thing, “This is surprisingly comfortable back here.”
That is followed up by them falling asleep despite Eibachs and Konis.

I received a 99 out of 100 on a history test in high school because I said nuclear instead of atomic, even though I knew better. My teacher said he had to knock off a point for something...

You lose one point sir!

Also, your conclusion at the end of this article forces the historian in me to demand a citation.

I see what Amazon did there, they are going to make me upgrade my gifted Amazon Prime to a full account through offering a product I’m willing to pay for.... those bastards.

Why is this site filled with basic automotive maintenance fails by bloggers that can’t google?
Ever hear of car forums write-up threads? thesamba.com?
I’m not a mechanic, nor do I own anything older than 1997 and I still know what an old school wheel bearing and race looks like and…

Aaron, what you have done is create a list that is completely accurate but hopelessly unrealistic.

/Drive on NBCSN is pretty much what this article is looking for.
Personally, as someone without cable TV, catching the TV version is tough and the current state of Youtube /Drive(+) doesn’t do it for me. The old subsidized version made me all kinds of car happy.

ALUMINUM IS SOFT
Careful with that German virgin torque spec when dealing with aluminum intake manifolds and cylinder heads.
Seriously, who uses a torque wrench on spark plugs and thermostat housings?

It’s... so... perfect.
Good Lord.

This list contains all of the good and all of the fun.
Each one of these offers a fairly unique driving experience.

The only thing that really blows is the steering wheel’s shape and the center console/radio bezel likes to pop loose from around the radio on the more worn examples.
Oh and the center console cubby is a piece of shit.
...and the window switches have a terrible tactile feel.

Your opinion is shit. See what I did there?


I’ve only driven the automatic 2014 and every little problem I had with it has been fixed in the 2015.
Bouncy ride on rough roads - now it has Mag ride
Brake dive - now it has brembos in the rear
Automatic felt weird in stop-and-go traffic (unlike G8, CTS-V, and Camaro) - the…

Anytime we’ve never seen anything like this before, one must post the full version of the commercial.
