It's probably because its the first car that I remember riding in, at age 8 of all times, but the Chevrolet HHR...I honestly don't understand why it isn't that liked...or atleast it seems...The vehicle we got was in a somewhat bright orange, Sunburst Orange to be exact. Because I loved cars, I honestly couldn't care about how the car felt, just that it was a car. Heck, I even asked my parents, it was a 2007 model but the only problem they saw was space. Here is a picture of not mine, but the same model and color HHR for those people that can't search bar...
Honda Civic Type R. VTEC FWD 316 BHP, there you go. '75 Range Rover 4 litre V8 that'll send it up the side of mountains.
I absolutely adore Mercs from that era, like the 80s to the early 2000s. Also... The Chrysler Pacifica. Not the new one, the first one, built on a heavily modified RS minivan platform. I do ask that y'all read this, because we just bought a 2008 4.0L FWD Touring, it is amazing! Ours is a dark navy blue with a tan interior. It's got the 6-spoke wheels which I love. Heated leather, a banging stock stereo system and a comfortable driving position. And it's not fast, but it's really quick. 0-60 is like 7.5 seconds which is nothing special, but around town, just kind of easily maneuvering it, it hauls itself quite nicely. It's kind of weird, very quirky. It has a LOT of Mercedes inspired design, and I love it. I also think it's a really pretty car, too Personally, buy one of the facelifted ones; the 2007-08 models. That meant you got the new 6-speed and most of them had the 4.0L V6, with something like 255 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. The 3.5L and 4-speed in 2006 prior were okay, but they had engine-cradle rust issues. And despite common belief, they're reliable - we have out '08, and a 2010 Town and Country Touring with the same engine and transmission. We doubled its mileage in 2 years and hasn't given us a problem. Our Pacifica has 70,000 miles and feels great. (these are not ours)
The MDX, specifically the 2017 model. Plenty complain about the "button-clutch" and the design. I like it, better than the Q2. Plus, this was the car that started the SUV-line for Acura that wasn't based off a Honda. (I'm talking about the SLX) Also, that interior's really great. (I actually been in a MDX, tho it's from 2007 - 2009, and it's comfortable.) Sure, the map's dated, but you can always substitute it and it'll won't bother. Plus, you get a Sport Hybrid. Who wouldn't want something Eco-sporty unlike the hated Toyota hybrids, which I heard is less Eco-friendly made than any regular Toyota. Lastly, I like that they have their own personal wheel drive, the SH-AWD. It fits so well with that V6.
Toyota Pixis Mega I’ve said it before, I love kei cars! Small cars have always been my favorite, and you can’t get much smaller than a kei car! They’re almost always either fun (Honda Beat, Suzuki Cappuccino, Autozam AZ-1) or practical, like the Pixis Mega. Although I’d rather own a Honda Beat, it’s a fairly popular car, and thus, not suitable for this thread. The Beat is also extremely unpractical (as with other sporty kei cars in its class). The Pixis however, is quite practical for its size. If you get the awd version, there’s less cargo space, but this is a commuter car. There’s not really any reason to get the awd. It also has sliding rear doors like a minivan for maximum ease of entry and exit, and can seat four people “comfortably” (provided you aren’t over 6 feet. I’m short, so this isn’t a problem for me ). If I ever move to a major Japanese city, I’m definitely strongly considering purchasing one of these かわいい little cars.
The Proton Satria GTi. It only got 138 hp from the 1.8, but then, it was a potent car of it's day. 8.5 seconds to 100 km/h makes it the fastest accelerating car Proton has ever made.
Allow me to introduce you all to the greatest car that ever existed. It is treated even worse than most cars, because the Tercel isn't hated - it is never even thought about in the first place. The Toyota Tercel. 1.5 Liters of Necessity. The epitome of "car." If the Tercel were a color, it'd be beige. It knows exactly where its place in the universe is - on the freeway doing exactly the speed limit in the slow lane because it literally can't go any faster. Although the speedometer gladly displays "110" as the top speed - you'll only ever get there when the stepper motor in the dashboard finally dies after its 300,000 mile journey. Powered by a 1.5 liter 4 banger that pushes horsepower which rivals even the strongest of lawnmowers, the Tercel is one of the fastest... Tercels ever built. You aren't going to set any land speed records in it, but everyone who has ever seen one knows that. The Tercel is a car for people who need four wheels and an engine, that was also legal to drive on the road. This car is the definitions of "essentials only." The Deluxe Tercel offers such amenities as "seats", "hubcaps", and "air-conditioning" that requires you to sacrifice half of the engine's power to turn the compressor. Remember, in the Tercel, "uphill" and "air conditioning" are two words that can only ever said in the same sentence if separated by "or." The Tercel sips gasoline at the same speed as someone with a cold trying to drink soda. You had two transmissions to chose from: a 3-speed automatic or a 4-speed manual. Exciting! But the real deal about the Tercel comes with its longevity. The Tercel wants nothing more than oil and gas, and it is perfectly content to sit abandoned in your back yard - because you know that the one day you need it, it'll start right back up. On the rare occasion that this rolling hunk of plastic and Edison-era technology breaks, chances are you can rebuild the entire car with a set of screwdrivers and a 10mm wrench. The Tercel will readily drive straight through 300,000 miles with no issues, even if you and its previous 10 owners try your damnedest to kill it. The Tercel is the best car ever built and I don't car what anyone else says.
1991 Pontiac Sunbird 70's Mercury Cougar. Edsel Corsair 1980 Chevy Corvette 305 'California' AMC Gremlin Cadillac Cimarron The Late 80's-Early 90's Chevy Camaro Bricklin SV-1 1975 Triumph TR7 1971 Chevrolet Vega 1960 Chevrolet Corvair 1990 Chrysler Imperial Maserati Biturbo
Hey, I like some of those too, especially the Sunbird. The '93 and '94 models had a better suspension setup though.
The Saab Sonett I. Since not many people here recognize it, I find it cute, and looks pretty simple but good in design. I also like the radiator (or whatever's under the hood) placement.
My Grandma owns one of those. Silver 2006 model. I'm pretty sure it's reliable, since the only thing that I heard about that needed replacing was the radio. She still drives it now, although when my grandparents are together they prefer my Grandfather's 2015 Ford F-150.
