I think I'm gonna trade in my truck and buy one of these new before the end of the year. It'll be my first stick shift "sporty" car. How do the anons out there that own these like them? Anything I should be aware of before buying?

>>29110770I have a 2023 VB Rex, premium with the decent stereo and goodies. I used to have a 2014 Rex with the 2.5, Cobb access port dyno tuned, intake, exhaust, lowered, etc: the 2023 is HANDS DOWN a superior machine in every way, aside from the giant computer screen bullshitEngine is crisper, more balanced. Great throttle response. 6 speed is awesome, better use of torque. Though forst.to second is abrubt, lots of reviews highlight this. You just gotta tell yourself the truth: its a rally car, a fun little whip, its not a drag car. It just feels "tighter" in every way. I have not modded this car, nor will I ever. It's the perfect balance of fun and snappy. Handling is crisp but not jarring. Lots of cabin noise, but it's not a luxury sedan,so whatever. The car had no slop, no mushiness, no heat issues. My 2014 always lost steam when the temps got high outside. The 2023 is always right there, predictable. A super fun car OP. I hope this one lasts til I croak. The later years had mandatory Subaru nanny driving tech. Haven't read about others experiences with that, so look into it

>>29110770sloppy shifter, terrible on gas, awful speakers on the base trim, a/c controls on the shitty touch screen that fucking sucks, awful awful awful road noiseotherwise it's pretty ok for the price if you get the base one. i'd personally get a gr86 if i was buying new now since i only need 2 seats, i want my non-shit a/c controls back, and it'd be slightly better on gas

any mazda 4 banger.and I guess the wrx or any subaru crossover shit with reliability that's not as good and mpgs that are definitely worse than anything from mazda.

>>29117555>racetech sticker on the forksDid the previous owner get in there with some RaceTech goodies?
>>29117564>Did the previous owner get in there with some RaceTech goodies?He didn't seem the type to upgrade the suspension on the thing, but he did mention getting the suspension tuned for his weight at a trackday so they might have had representatives out there do it for him and throw the sticker on. The forks themselves look very stock and it would seem odd to buy a bike that's known for coming with great suspension and then upgrade it some more
>>29117166>the louder the exhaust pipe is, not the muffler but the pipe, the more power it makes.I'm almost sure that's false. If your port timing is set to make max power at 13k rpm but your pipe is tuned for 9k then you will make less power than a properly matched cylinder/pipe reguardless of decibels.

I used a tyre machine for the first time the other day. Getting the tyre off was a complete fucking ballache, but getting the new ones on was pretty easy. Still not as easy as fitting tyres to widow maker wheels, but oh well.
>>29117496>Getting the tyre off was a complete fucking ballache,You were doing something wrong... I have a rim clamp machine, but honestly 90% of the time I just bust the shit down outside with a slide hammer bead breaker and spoons because I don't want to sweep up afterwards. Kek.
>>29116341sheesh, you're not methin' around
>>29117490is that larger diameter tires than OEM?we all know they were a tall truck but certainly that's not factory
>>29117496Was the old tire rotted and hard as shit? That makes the job harder
Thoughts on buying a car from auction?
>>29112714if you're patient you can get good deals every now and then when something slips through the cracks. For example, I saw a gc8 type ra sell for $5k at auction because it wasn't listed properly. Sometimes ignorant lister + lack of bidders gets you a great deal. But for me it's always a ~3 month process to find one of those. And cars with crash history go for way too much on auction houses. There's too many poors I guess bidding them up.
I would never buy a vehicle unless I could fully look it over in person beforehand.
>>29112704wat cars, fren?
>>29112698Copart fees are retarded.And they smashed my front valance carrying it on the forklift (was fine in the auction pics).And youre only going to get a deal on garbage or niche vehicles. 95% of shit gets bought by overseas resellers.
>>29112692>>29112707>As a buyer, all the best deals are still on basedlist and kikebook. For my next sale, I might try BAT.Seems to me that auctions are better for selling than buying, also, I really think the auction sites like BAT or CarsandBids are only truly worth it if you're looking for a relatively shitty car that happens to be in decent condition. The good thing about the auction sites is that they won't let people just list anything, it has to be in at least good cosmetic condition. For example, on carsandbids I saw some insane deals on low mileage Chrysler LeBarons recently. Like LeBaron's with under 10k miles, saw a couple of them sell for under 5 grand. Or if you want to find a low mileage 80s or early 90s Ford Taurus. For stuff like that I think the auction sites are good because it'll be hard to find well preserved survivor examples like that on Facebook marketplace, but also, a lot of people on the auction sites are rich people who aren't interested in boring cars from decades ago. On the flip side, I think if you're looking for any kind of newer somewhat desirable vehicle, that the auction sites are dumb. Like, for example a year or two ago when the Cybertruck came out, you had people buying them brand new and flipping them for profit to Tesla fanboys on the auction sites. That's retarded. If you have that kind of money, it's better to look up random dealerships in Kansas or Nebraska and just buy from them instead of overpaying.
Predict the highest bid.

Why are 400 hp cars usually driven slower than $400 cars?
Poors have less impulse control due to lower intelligence. They always need to get places fast, but no one knows why.
How fast are they supposed to be driven?
you can't drive a 400bhp car fast all the time because it only takes like 10 seconds of full throttle to hit 120+mph. You can drive a 1.2 fiesta hard as fuck all the time and never get a speeding ticket
>>29111959Because the people who buy 400hp cars are poorfags in debt who would literally kill themselves if they got scratched (because they'd have to go further in debt to repair them)
>>29111959I don't know about that much disparity but generally yeah I agree with the concept. Most fast car owners are fags who's sports car is a accessory/status symbol and not a medium in which to participate in car enthusiasm.Those who do own expensive cars and enjoy car enthusiasm are generally working class so are a bit hesitant about putting it (the car) at risk.Golf GTI's, Civics, Hyundai's, 86/BRZ, miatas, older BMWs all offers a middle ground where the cars are fast enough to be respectable but affordable enough that owners are happy to risk them.
