I do despise economic stuff. It's why everything is so needlessly complicated nowadays. It's why I'm buying a Crown vic. Simple and tough. And when I do break something, it's cheap and easy to fix. They're some of the last truly modest cars. My scale for MPG goes: <10=bad 10-15=Decent >15=Good Anything above 20 is uncharted territory for me.
Ah, you americans In europe, anything under 30 mpg is pretty much unaffordable because gas prices.... ;_;
This is why America sucks less. I never want to live in a place where I have to pick between owning an absurdly large ancient SUV that gets 8mpg, and eating 3 meals a day. Murica. Fuck yeah.
I never want to live in a place where an ancient 8mpg SUV is even a choice, so I guess that's balanced out.
Potato and TA are exact opposite sides of the spectrum. One gets aggressive over american cars, the other over euro cars. One thing I don't get is how anyone can just write off a brand or a type of car. "Euro cars suck, I'd never buy one" It's a nice looking car, and there are hundreds of working ones on the road. Why not? "American cars suck, I'd never buy one" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "Asian cars suck, I'd never buy one" ¯\(°_°)/¯
Like I said, I don't discriminate against the maker so much, it's the car itself. I did say I'm more accepting to Japanese shitboxes than european or american shitboxes, but that's because reliability. I like BMW's, new at least. After about 100k they become bottomless money pits. I do especially like the 7 series lineup. They're pretty.
I don't really like BMWs that they put out nowadays. But I do definitely like the earlier models, and especially the e30s.
Most of my vehicular tastes are pure 'Murican but I would be lying if I said I don't like the E28. The wagons have a side profile to die for. The old E24's are beautiful to. Dat M1 in the backround doe
My car on paper is good for 50 to the gallon extra urban. In reality, that doesn't happen. But it isn't a complicated engine at all, its also an engine designed by GM so its awful.
Researching that is effort, but its a 1.0 3 cylinder 12 valved engine, its not Gina be too low. Instead it requires foot planting to the floor to go anywhere therefore ruining any stated fuel economy figures, else trucks out drag you.
Based on the assumption you have a 2013 Corsa the combined figure should be 55mpg. Usually people look at the combined value since its neither best case nor worst case. Most brands tend to be a little optimistic.
04 life with 1.0 twinport. - - - Updated - - - Doing a 30-35 mile commute almost entirely extra-urban, that is the more interesting figure to me. I even have to go extra-urban in order to reach my nearest town before I can run about urban driving.
So basically you're telling me that they didn't achieve good fuel economy by making the engine super complicated and over engineered, they just made it puny and put out no power whatsoever? I guess that's one way to do it. 12 seconds after pretty severe weight reduction. Apparently it does 16 stock? God. It's an abomination to automobiles.
6677 actually knows and agree's with this his favorite kind of corsa is an utterly destroyed one such as this: dat's some good corsa
Yes I know this. I wouldn't have said that if he thought it was the best thing ever. I try to prefer insulting people's cars directly, as I don't even have one yet. I agree. The best corsa 1.0 is a destroyed corsa 1.0
