not a fan of stopping heh?  (Mustangs are notorious for sh**tty brakes, getting better the last few generations and all old cars have sh**t brakes)


Me, I like cars so I drive a NA Miata (97).  I like stopping and turning and such, but I'm not a trained racecar driver, so I enjoy cars with pretty low limits....keeps me from killing myself you see.  The engine is just a typical econocar engine, turned sideways to power the proper wheels.  Doesn't weigh anything and is generally tiny, so it's good on gas and is easy to drive in the city.  It doesn't make much power so you have to shift a lot, but this is a good thing because shifting is so much fun.  I've already decided what my next car is, another NA Miata and that I'm just driving the parts car for it until I get it.

As for my least favorites

American Company (Ford, Chrysler, but especially GM) cars offend me when it comes to quality.

Except for Chrysler, this isn't as true as it use to be.  Fords are actually comparable to the Japanese and GM has come a long way.  For the most part, you can't buy a bad car in 2016.  You can buy an ugly car, a boring car, one not as good as other current models, but it probably won't suck like cars did just a few decades ago.

I 100% agree with you about VWs though, expensive to repair, but everything feels cheap.  I had a 2000 Golf that I bought new, I traded it in a few years later because I had a feeling it was going to start costing me a butt ton to maintain.

but not all Bimmer drivers are c**nts...just most of them
