Corolla XSE Hatchback is a weird exclusion from this list.

Reliable, available new for well under the price limit, pretty slick 6MT and nicely equipped. Oh and fuel efficient. 

Alternatively, don’t buy cars that have ECU programmed to make unnecessary backfires, cracks and pops. It is stupid.

If you're this sheltered and terrified, just stay home. Stop ruining places because you can't be bothered to be a less than obnoxious tourist.

I walked everywhere when I went to NYC this summer. It was the stupidest decision possible (other than driving). Stayed in Brooklyn, walked to Manhattan every day, covered way more ground than my feet could handle.

I’ll take you out of the greys to say, no.

You commute in an auto rx8? That sounds extremely expensive and not fun enough to make up for it. (RX8 is a magical thing....with a manual)

Tbh, both of those are wack too.

Yep, Ferrari 360 CS is exactly the same as the hordes of Mercedes AMG crossover things romping around my neighborhood. Totally.

Loud stock cars are the lamest thing. I’m not all that bothered by moderately loud modified cars, but a stock M/AMG/etc is just so wack. Love to be annoyed by a middle aged dentist who wants to make up for his inadequacies but doesn’t want to fall off a Harley.

I’m from Wisconsin and yeah if it’s 68 at night, I may turn on the heat.

This is a great start. My basic calculations have me at 10 tons and I would really like to half that if possible in the next year or so.

Just stay out of my neighborhood please, I don't want to be killed by a maniac who can't just leave a few minutes early for work.

No. No coal plants should be in use anywhere on Earth.

Enjoy 70 MPH in inches of snow. Let us know how that works for you.

The US still uses coal plants too, chud.

Pipe down chud. Your bad takes have no merit, value or intellect behind them 

There's something (a number of things) wrong with you. WTF creep.

This times a billion. Literally the only car that I really, truly wish had been built.

If it is snowy I’m not driving the speed limit, even on my Blizzaks and with many thousands of miles of experience in driving in snow country.

It is so depressing that these articles get posted each year.

Driving in the snow/ice/winter is not hard.

Slow down, look further ahead, gentler inputs, assume braking will take 5x as long, assume any abrupt inputs will upset the car, put the best snow tires you can afford on the car.

Done.
