You buy a new Camry because used Camrys, as good as they still are, are still used cars and still have used car problems.

That and there were periods where that four cylinder engine they were putting in them was.... not great at high miles. For a period of time with the used generation you chose, the head bolts would

At a 100 lb penalty, I LOVE IT.
200 lbs? hmmm, maybe. I might be able to get over that because it just looks so damn good.

This seems pretty simple. If Evans throws a fit and threatens to leave, call him out on his bullshit and let him leave. He hasn't been a part of the formula for so long that he's not disposable.

First thought: no

Second thought: maybe, what do I get for the money? How big is the engine? At what price do I get the Ohlins suspension?

It’s not so bad now, but when she first broke into the sport that’s all they talked about. I don’t follow NASCAR that closely and even I got sick of hearing about her. Not that she deserves being attacked so relentlessly, but there is truth to the thought that she’s mediocre on the level she’s competing.

Thanks for the tips! I don’t mind the tone of the stock exhaust when I can hear it, and if removing the resonator slightly increases the volume in combination with the intake modification I'd probably be happy.

Well that's tragic, because it really seems like one of the best bargains in sporty cars going right now. Still, if I enjoyed it enough I definitely wouldn't mind getting dirty assuming the problems weren't related to issues that cause engines to catastrophically eat themselves prematurely.

Yeah, I’m told that an aftearket intake and cat-back would wake it up a bit. I don’t want it to be obnoxious, I just want to add a touch of character.

yeah, that's definitely one thing I really dislike about my GTI, the sound.... it's just so dull. It's not offensive or bad or anything, I just wish it had more punch to it. Give me a bit of that compressor noise, a faint "whoosh" in the background as the recirc valve works, open up the muffler a bit, something....

Yeah, I seriously doubt you could fit a rear facing car seat in one unless you push the front passenger seat so far forward nobody could sit in it. We also have a baby on the way and I'm not sure the car seat we chose could even be made to work in my GTI. I'm sure we could make it fit, but my wife wouldn't be too

You want a GTI. If you define luxury as “entry level Audi or BMW” it pretty much nails it. Interior quality is on another level compared to any other car in this segment. Ride is firm, but comfortable. Seats are excellent; both comfortable and supportive. Handling balance is neutral with a nose that smoothly tucks in

Love my GTI and I don't feel like I need to explain why. The Fiat 500 Abarth though, is so, so very cheap on the used market. You can get one with ~30k miles on it for about $13k locally. I don't particularly love the way it looks, but I hear it's fun to drive and makes awesome noises. For that price it's hard to

I don't know, I think most rotary enthusiasts would think that was an awesome idea.

I would go for the 944 because the RX-7's truck derived steering system is garbage. It ruins and otherwise amazing car.

Having just installed a rear facing car seat in my wife’s Camry, and seeing how it barely fits....

Fair enough.

Then don't watch it. As Freddy points out, it's an amateur production. To expect it to be anything more than what it is seems unreasonable.

What’s wrong with RCR? At it’s best, even if the jokes aren’t perfect, they’re good for being short history lessons about the car and what it meant to people at the time. It’s a niche that’s not really being filled by anybody else, or at least no one else is doing it better.

I love that videos like this are being made. It means people are trying to create things.
