>>28976173Hello fellow Kia Sonata owner
I have only ever had beater pieces of shit and want a decent roadster/sports car so i dont pull up to dates in my 12 year old hail damaged Jeep Grand Cherokee. I saw the guide that recommended the Miata, Sky, and Porsche boxter in that category for roadsters. Unfortunately i am, while not poor, a cheap ass but want a unique car with good looks and good performance for summer driving and I am looking to spend no more than 15k. I dont really like the miata, it is too common and i don't think looks that great. Is the Porsche boxter actually a good option? The Saturn Sky looks cool too, are there any other cars in the category that would be options to look at?
>>28978392It’s a 911 inside. Except all the bad and none of the good. It’s as expensive to maintain as a C4S Targa It’s a slow as a Miata. It’s slower than a 135i and costs more to buy and run. And that has multi link rear and modern electronics and 10 years less wear. EXPECT $1000 everytime something breaks $3000 a year with occasional $6k-$10k years and the possibility the engine explodes from bore scoring or IMS or cracked cylinder head.>only year x-y are affected lol>only the S models in the 997!lol >it only happens 5% of the time and not any more lol If the above REALITY doesn’t offend you and you want an open diff McDonald strut car with no power that costs as much as a modern 911 to own and operate go for it. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>28978631more like if you can't wrench and are a cheap ass, go with the miata because it's simultaneously the cheapest, most reliable, and easiest to fix in the category. sky/solstice/boxster/S2K are all more interesting cars and all arguably better in various ways, but all are more expensive and (to varying degrees) more challenging to purchase and maintain.OP, personally I'd try to find a turbocharged sky, a guy in my town has one and I think it's cool as fuck
>>28979489I know everyone glazes miatas but I am really not interested in them. The Sky redline is my second choice right now and 350z is third. I agree about Skys, they are a very cool looking car and have great power for their size and cost, they are harder to find and I worry about finding replacement parts since saturn has been defunct for almost 20 years. I think 986 has better aftermarket support based on what I have read.

>>28979604schizo replied to the wrong thread oh no no no
> The average five-year-old EV has lost 57.2% of its value> ~41.8% average for gas-powered carsWhat is stopping me from leasing a new car for 4 years and doing it over again? Alot of dealerships let you lease new cars for 300-500 a month and the depreciation value still outpaces that cost.Am I stupid or is this a good idea? I guess the next best thing is just buying a used car.
>>28978826Nigga I haven't done it yet. I was asking.
>>28978482own nothingpay forever
>>28978482with leases you're paying depreciation. that 300-500 assumes a nice down payment up front. so for instance you could lease a model 3 rwd premium and pay 4044 at delivery (down payment + fees) and 349/month, with an option to purchase for 28,522 at end of lease. that's right around what 2023s are worth right now. obviously that's a ripoff because of the depreciation cliffwhat that means is that you're not coming out ahead and building equity (which almost never happens, tho there are rare cases where cars hold their value or even appreciate), but you aren't falling behind either. whether that makes sense to you is up to you
>>28978684Good luck with that.
>>28978482> The average five-year-old EV has lost 57.2% of its valuethe problem with this statistic is basing the original value at sticker when most people got them heavily discounted and fed/state rebatesyeah, a 2022 that had an MSRP of 65k is now selling for ~35k, but it originally sold for ~55kthis puts it squarely in the range of average depreciationnot to mention most EV's of the era tend to skew towards luxury which experience heavier depreciation anyways
So, I just recently bought an Elantra N and it came with michelin pilot sport 4s. They're great tires and all, but I live in northeastern US, so I wouldn't be able to use them all year round. I dont really plan on tracking my car any time soon outside of spirited driving on backroads.So that leaves me with two options, either ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus or Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4.All the reviews lead to the michelins being better for the dry, but everyone on reddit says the continentals are better. I dont care about snow traction because I do not plan on driving when there is snow or ice. I just need something for colder weather but in dry conditions. So I dont know who is right, the reviewers or the redditors.
>>28979256>I just recently bought an Elantra NDeeply embarrassing
>>28979346What does the N stand for?
>>28979539namyang or nurburgring, whatever you prefer
>>28979560Oh, I get it.Ford should introduce the Mustang D.
I got my N new in 2023 and live in CT. Buy snow tires (and downsize to 18") or don't bother. The grip on the Pilot Sport 4Ss drop pretty dramatically once it gets below 45-50 degrees or so.I got Vredstein Wintrac Pro XLs for the winter. They were relatively cheap and have held up well. As have the cheap Tire Rack wheels I got for them.

Are wilwood brakes any good?I keep getting brake fade driving on local mountain roads.I tried race pads, but they still ran too hot and destroyed my rotors.(DTC60s)People have told me I need a fully floating brake rotor with a proper high vane disk.
>>28979525>High RPM and low load put a ton of stress on connecting rods a piston wrist pins.I disagree. It’s an impulse change in forces that causes issues. An engine spinning freely without load is just fine. Google the phrase I just greentexted that you wrote.
>>28979390>High RPM and low throttle is bad for engines.So don't downshift into a gear that puts you up at redline, 2-3k rpm will still give you plenty of engine braking. Even if you don't rely on it entirely, it still saves a ton of wear on your pads and rotors.
>>28979532>>28979534High RPM and low load puts opposing stress on engine parts.It's not good for engines.You can see drag race engines blow up once they start braking past the lights.Low load, high RPM=stress
>>28979566YesThats why you just slowly let go of the throttle and use the brakes when neededObviously don't downshift from 4th to 2nd for that 4k rpm engine braking
>>28979566Sorry I don't drive crap engines

>>28979527its not a bad thing
>>28977700Our eyes have a better dynamic range and contrast sensitivity in lower light conditions as well, meaning you can perceive a greater difference between darker and lighter areas.It also takes your eyes far longer to adjust from light to dark conditions than dark to light, the former taking up to 30 minutes with the latter occurring in 2-6 minutes.

Absolutely.It’s exactly the car I wanted and it drives like a car should. I sometimes can’t hold in a shit-eating grin when I walk up to it in parking lots and I’ve had these for 12 years. Makes me smile just thinking about it. NB MX-5, bone stock.
>>28973809Yeah. It's a good looking hatch and drives well, it just werks.I do want more power though, I'll trade her in for a MK4 ST next year. I'm torn between it being white or orange, I'm leaning towards the latter.
Yes but it keeps taking my money.
