Looking to get my first enthusiast car and I'm between these two. Specifically I'm looking at the mk8 manual and fl5. Don't know how to drive stick and I'd be learning on whichever one of these I get. Which would /o/ recommend? I think the Type R is cooler but spending 15k less is pretty cool too.
>>28889245Seconded. I'm picking my Golf R32 up next week. >>28888630Overall best and most reasonable post. I've test driven all sorts and this is one of the most important things to do after you've read a good amount on each car you're considering (more than just muh 0-60 numbers). I test drove a mk7 GTI TCR for example and that while nice, was not worth it when you can get an R for the same money with better odometer numbers. Personally when I'm in this looser stage of purchasing, I test drive dealer cars, and only test drive private seller cars if I'm nigh-sure I'm buying it anyway.The whole "Golfs are more muted/mature" is true across the board, and it's a big part of what I specifically like. Personally they're (for hatches) are the best for me, they're the most reasonable and balanced overall. But some people specifically want more flare or rice which is okay, but not for me. Pic' is a great example aesthetically of what I'm talking about. The only Jap cars I'd consider are old ones (90s). But for something more modern I find most cars to be pretty ugly in the realm of actually buying and owning one.
>>28888642>mostly going to be a daily for meYou sound like me, and I drive a GTI. I came from a car that felt excessive for something I was mostly driving to work and back with, even though running costs were no problem, but it still felt like the wrong fit for me. GTI fits me like a glove. Maybe it will for you too.
My stinger gt costs a fucking shitton to keep up and I want a real hatch for my dogs, do I put it towards a GTI/R instead?
>>28891710You need to give me more information. What's "a shitton to upkeep"? Like what are you paying for?CTR is still going to cost you in at least pads and tires. The Kia is also .5 faster to 60 than a CTR, but not the R.To me, it seems like a very lateral move unless you are having a ton of reliability issues with the GT.As far as the "hatch for the dogs" - never used it like that, your mom crawls in just fine though.
>>28888630>corolla grLOLNO ITS FUCKING NOT GET THAT POSER GARBAGE OUT OF HERE
Any reason why I shouldn’t buy one?
>>28891967You're a neet
>>28891968Nice try
>>28891970my advice would be to get a driveway before you get another car. but the RS5 is a good choice. S5 is still decent as well. i would probably skip an A5 unless you really need a boring commuter or are planning on doing a lot of mods.
>>28891998driveways are GAY as FUCK
How does peak power, power curve, peak torque and torque curve affect performance of a car or bike?
>>28889708Not really, the peak of the curve is pointless, the width is what matters most.Unless you got like 20 seamless gears or something.
>>28889923I agree with that, I understand integral calculus and gearing, but maybe you misread what I said.
>>28889117more is better and faster
r8 my graph
>>28889117Area under the curve in gear is what matters for performance. Anything above or below is irrelevant. People who argue otherwise are dumb.
THEY DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THE USED T- ACKKK!!!
>>28891768nice cope libtard
>>28891785its millenials that do it because you cant drive stick shift worth dick. zoomers too, but millennials fear the manual tranny.
yeah I'm dead but at least my car is old
>>28891830Shalom, rabbi.
>>28891778Lol, sure, whatever you say.
whats the point of getting a motorcycle if you live in a place where lane splitting and filtering are illegal? should I just get an e-bike if I want to get from places within my city faster during rush hour? Should I get a moped maybe? Please give me advice.
Laughs in roughhouse 50 driven from Brooklyn to Newark in under an hour on 1 dollar
>>28890437Where is lane splitting illegal?
>>28891175
>>28891015Filter at your own risk, even where it's legal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QntVFngHObQ
>>28890972Anon, if you were really so smart and rich, you'd have a nice car instead of a two-wheeled death trap that will 100% kill or disable you if you ride it enough.
Chevy made a 409 cubic inch (6.7L) LT1 and put it in the new Grand sport C8.Hopefully boomers crash these a lot so we get plentiful junkyard engines.
>>28891936I guess you mean shitboxes because you're poor lmao
>>28891838Do people do burnouts on designated shitting streets? Do people drive by in those little tuktuk trucks and try to splash bystanders with the diarrhea puddles?When you park your moped at home does feces just drip off of it like rain water from driving through human excrement for the last 20 miles?

Damn dump truck gave me a chip on my windshield.
Why were you tailgating a dump track? They make frequent stops and never get up to speed, the best thing is to hang back so you're not constantly braking and can look to overtake.
>>28891926he's talking about his wide load latina wife
>>28891926I got hit from wayyyyy back
>>28891926>They make frequent stopsWrong.
Perils of the road.just get it replaced, thats why you have insurance
Moving to Portland soon. What's the car scene like in the pacific nw?
I've used a shuttle instead of a rent when visited Portland and Astoria, so I barely know anything about there, but I saw a following video randomly a month ago.https://youtu.be/32_qQ3gUdbw
>>28891360>Moving to Portland soonfor fuck's sake why>What's the car scene like in the pacific nwPortland's shit, dying out as wealth flees the area thanks to the government's pathological addiction to creating new taxes and fees and trying their damnest to drive business out. roads in Portland proper are fucked, if you have a nice car with nice wheels, it's not a good place to be. as soon as you cross county lines, the roads magically improve. speed limits are absurdly low and getting lower for no reason. government at the state and local level is trying to find a way to shut down the track, PIR, and I expect they'll succeed soon Seattle area is okay, they have a couple of great tracks, but lots of people are starting to fuck off to Idaho, Utah, and Nevada because Washington has decided to start ramping up the taxationanyway we do have a lot of nice roads, but a lot of absolute bottom of the barrel drivers and sometimes no decent passing zones so you have to go at odd hours or hope you get lucky...but if you get lucky and get a nice run on a road like Bible Creek, it's fucking amazing. I think it's best to have a car like a WRX or GR Corolla, not because of the weather, but because there's a lot of great dirt to play in when you start fucking about in the forests>>28891408it's sort of impressive how dumb portland drivers are. absolute fucking zombies. central oregon is nice but got too popular for its infrastructure to handle so roads are often packed full of cunts until you start going out east a bit, towards fossil and john day. they have a really fun track, ORP, which doesn't really have a straight, and has some great elevation changes and banked curves. ideal track for miatas>>28891616have never seen that in 25 years here. unless by fast you mean 10 under the limit
>>28891753>wealth flees>million dollar houses still selling after being on the market for 15 seconds
>>28891360too many god damn fucking mexicans.(and by mexicans, i mean squats who speak spanish, and spanish only.)

name.one.flaw.
>>28891203>>28891495its 62k eurobucks for a fully loaded debadged model in my shithole, by comparison, a basic entry 320d diesel 3 series starts at 56k and comes with a whopping 190hp (120whp) and you get the honour of being slower than a civicanyone who says the RS3 is not amazing value is a disingenuous shill
>>28891983real. it’s hardly more expensive than a golf R
>>28891983If you'd ever bought a car from BMW you'd know that the sticker price is never what the actual sale price is. It is in the US, but in Europe (especially the UK) they're heavily discounted from sticker and most dealers will snap your arm off if you want one. My 540i Touring was meant to be a £60k ish car but I got it, new, for £45k. You're looking at £7k to £20k off whatever the stated price is, regardless of how you buy it, on any BMW. Even if you don't ask for it. It's been the case since at least 2007.Audi, on the other hand, have always been expensive and now they don't even have the granite like build quality to back it up
>>28891988I have had 3 brand new cars of different makes and all the dealers let them go below MSRP and on my last one even gave me a second set of fancy nokian winter tyres just so I don't buy from a different dealer, for example mobile.de is full of 2026 RS3s between 52k and 55k and yes they are brand newalso the 3 series comes with an iPad interior while the RS3 is maybe jarring to some people, but still has a proper dashboard, and personally I like the fighter jet design
>>28891988NTA but I’m taking promos into account here. picrel is what a baseline M340i costs in krautland as opposed to 51k for an RS3. the RS3 will be vastly superior except for interior quality. you’d have to spend another 10k on mods to bring a M340i on par with an RS3

Who was in the wrong here?
>>28887876>any family the tailgater had?I hope they were in the car with him and were horribly maimed
>>28887876moralfaggot effortposting reddit reply
Playing the devli:>The guy who stopped at least has his hazards on and we're unable to asses the extent of the damage or how long he's been there.>The guy driving 'slow' can see the potential hazard ahead and it's perfectly reasonable to drive slower while you asses. Should also note the camera guy is keeping pace at +140kph which means most likely the 'slow' driver is at the legal limit.>The guy filming/crossing lanes is also in it for the shits and grins...>The guy tailgating has no defense for his actions.
>>28879712>The guy in the white car. This is not a debate,There is a debate and you made the argument yourself. >The problem here is the "knowingly" part. There's absolutely no way to know what the mindset of the guy in the white car is at the moment of impact, was he doing this maliciously? or was he just driving distracted, and made a last second save to avoid a crash?Assigning blame to them without knowing their specific mindset is the equivalent of #meToo pmsing.The tailgater on the other hand is objectively in the wrong for his actions. You could attempt to make a similar argument for his tailgating but the the fact of the matter is the driver of the lead car was driving with enough due care and attention to avoid the hazard in front of them, the driver of the trailing car, was not.

>>288918252020 RX 350AWD and a large passenger/cargo capacity; that's it. Because I don't commute the miles per gallon is negligible compared to a Prius or other Goyota hybrid sedan I had considered. Used car market makes things interesting. I was able to buy a slightly used luxury SUV known for reliability for less than the market's most notorious hybrid commuter that has a creaky interior and poverty plastic everywhere.
