    Looks can be deceiving. It's got some relatively minor stuff that still needs addressing, but it goes.

    2002 Honda Civic Ferio. It's common for used cars to be imported here from Japan. Not sure if the engine is in the best shape now but I love it.

    Well my 08 chrysler is now my beater. I over paid for it 4500 bucks for a 220,000 mile chrysler 300 is terrible. Its to trashed and has to many miles to put any money into, yet its not worth anything either so i cant get my money out of it. Condition wise its actually quite nice but I hate this car its like the worst car ive ever driven. i like a car that handles nice and makes me feel like im in control. This chrysler is the complete opposite. Every corner where the speed limitsi s higher than 30 i get through feels like pure luck. This thing handles 10 times worse than my old 96 thunderbird did. This thing handles worse than my fathers 06 ram 1500. Its unsafe at any speed. Its ok in a staight line or slight turns but twist roads or a curved freeway onramp is scary. As soon as you properly turn into a corner and the weight ransfers all steering weight and feel goes away and then it gets in this like weird feedback loop idk how to explain.

    Ive driven quite a few different cars before ive driven some complete piles that some friends of mine had Bad alighnments worn out clunky suspension bad brakes ect but this chrysler is the first car ive driven where it makes me feel unsafe.

    I beleive this only applies to the v8 awd model tho as i also test drove a more trashed rwd v6 chrysler 300 of the same year and while gutless it handled way better and had nice steering weight and feel in corners. I think the front
    wheels being powered causes the strange steering feel and handling in corners. So if you want a chrysler around this year id opt for a rwd model.

    yep I can see why lol, JDM MPVs usually have very long production runs and can have 3 facelifts before a generation is retired. If I remember correctly, my wish generation started production in 2009 or 2010, with one facelift around 2014. Mine was the last batch ever produced, got it at the discontinuation sale. so car is hideously outdated, plus the fact I have no optional extras, but I mean it was a cheap car, SGD 98k with COE, about 72k USD I think

    The 08 model year would have looked like this lol
