You guys should do a top 10 of the most mentioned cars on this channel. Oh wait, that would be every episode ever made.

[@LitwixEditz-mj1re]

its the same list everytime🤦🏾‍♂

[@antonioramirez4437]

Mention the reliability and cost on parts you fooling these kids into going bankrupt 🤣👍

[@mirmuhammad1274]

You're absolutely right

[@brianimel6430]

The GTI has been growing on me more and more... the cost to performance is so hard to beat...

[@pianomirror4833]

The scirocco is basically just a 3 door gti that looks better and is slightly wider, so also slightly better in there corners

[@brettwaldrup1800]

I had an mk6 gti. After I got divorced I sold it and got a jeep. Don’t get me wrong, I love my jeep and riding without the doors/top, but I’ve been missing my gti lately and want to get another one 😩

Have you ever thought why this cars are cheap? Power 3/10 (most of the time) Sporty look 6/10 (not best but ok) Reliability 0/10 Bankrupt after purchasing the "vehicle" 10/10💀

[@arubberroomwithrats]

lmfao "reliability 0/10" when they mention honda in the video 💀

[@pianomirror4833]

Gti is pretty reliable tbh, and stage 1 map it and its not to bad for power.

[@zer0g35]

This video is more for car people anyway tho, those who would like to work on their cars and fix those things, also all of these options have always been up there in interest so it’s not like they’re saying anything crazy

[@SuperEman500]

@@pianomirror4833Corvette's also reliable/ cheap maintenance, it's a Chevrolet.

[@sirspeedsalot]

Nah , while the Z isn't fast stock, they handle boost really well, a cheap turbo kit and you'll be making good power. And the Z looks sporty as fuck and drives sporty as fuck. And they're super reliable, I beat on my 370z every day and never had any issues. And if you're going bankrupt after purchasing any of the vehicles on the list then maybe a sports car isn't for you , try getting a good job first .

[@Viper3048]

I agree with this list. I've been around a lot of these cars and have owned 2 C5 Corvettes. I can confirm that it's the best performance for the money out there. Even in stock form the C5 is surprisingly quick and agile, aftermarket is endless for both performance and aesthetics as well. It basically feels like a Miata on steroids.

[@TigerGoesCrazy]

The Miata is a baby Vette

[@IllaNoizeMusic]

I’ve had 2 cars on this list. A G35 and a drop top Mustang. I approve this message.

oh boy, im debating in keeping my bmw z4 e85 or trying to get a vette C5 and suddently its the best choice in this video. The C5 is an awesome platform, i hope i can get a hand on one of them here in spain. great video as usual. Keep up the good work.

I got a 335, such an amazing car

[@pooferfish2850]

Nice 335i how’s the reliability I’m thinking about getting one

[@spongie1386]

If it’s high mileage check the water pump, the gaskets, and how much oil it is leaking. They tend to like to overheat and leak oil. They’re fun cars if you maintain them tho.

[@e92slate]

@@spongie1386 you're absolutely right, I found mine at 120k for $9K with all the gaskets recently changed, new injectors, coils, plugs, etc. plus other goodies. Just gotta know what to look for, there are good cars out there

[@CamDog911]

All of these cars I hoped to get as a fun ride, but since I got a 08 Mazda 6 Luxury Sport it's crazy fun. Never seen these guys mention other Mazda cars besides the rx7 and 8.

[@hechoenmex0593]

It's because they are more expensive and out of the price range, they think, of most of their viewers

[@CamDog911]

@@hechoenmex0593 Mate, in my area RX7 and 8 is more expensive than a mazda 6. You can get an RX8 at a low of 9k USD but it has an average price of 30k USD. RX7 start at 40k USD, while the Mazda 6 start at 6k USD. You have to think about the viewers.

[@samuelm5380]

@@CamDog911 Interesting, in Germany it's a very different situation. Basically every car costs a little more than in the US, but the RX8 starts at like 2-3k and for 4-5k, you're getting a solid one.

[@sirspeedsalot]

That's because the mazda 6 isn't a sports car unless its the 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 , that's the only mazda 6 I'd consider a cool sports car

[@CamDog911]

@@sirspeedsalot Mazda 6 made sport cars I believe until 2011 or 2012. I do like older car looks like the older versions of the Mazda 6's. Most if the positives is that the new Mazda 6 sport variants until 2012 have a better turbo engine with that sweat L5 under the hood and still look modern. Some miata owners use Mazda 6 engines for this quality as an alternative to rotary engines because of reliability issues.

[@evandupuis4890]

Why does everyone forget the Chrysler crossfire srt6 is a supercharged v6 with really 350 hp and with a smaller pully tune your at 390whp and 400 flb and can get one for 6-10

[@slimeplayz164]

Mr2 spyders are soild choice but they're shooting up in price almost the same price range as thesse S2Ks

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

I've debated between getting the SN95 Cobra or snagging an S197 from around 2005-2006. Both are really appealing for different reasons.

[@IllaNoizeMusic]

If it’s a daily, I’d get the S197. I have one and you won’t regret. The best looking Mustang besides the ones from the 60s imo. Tons of aftermarket parts.

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

@IllaNoizeMusic I was leaning that way too. Obviously it has to be a V8, because reasons.

Just put like $3000 down on a 370z , its much nicer inside and out, a tad bit faster and it responds to power mods better. Love my 370z sports touring ,its manual with touch screen gps , factory forged rays wheels , nice sound system . Overall its been my favorite car ever and I drive a lot of sports cars as I work in the car industry. Hoping to get the z1 supercharger kit by the end of the year for it , then I'll be pushing 500+hp .

[@sirspeedsalot]

Funny thing is , my cousin has a civic si and it has given him tons of issues, its 2008 . While the older models are super reliable, the 2006+ civics are reliable just not as reliable. My 370z has been a hell of a lot more reliable than his civic. Only issue i had to fix was buying an external clutch slave cylinder other than that i beat on the car daily and never have issues and I have more miles than my cousin.

[@MahadShahzad08]

@@sirspeedsalotWell it depends on the driver as well. The civic has more aftermarket available so it's easy to find parts. I have a sedan 99 civic vti and it's running great. Plus I live in a city so suspension is basically new. I have taken it off road as well and its pretty decent. But still it has problems like any car from the 2000s.

[@sirspeedsalot]

@@MahadShahzad08 nah you're crazy kid , the amount of aftermarket parts and support available for the z platform is crazy , I'd say evenly matched with civic . Z1 motorsports has any part you can possibly want for a Z . Every single bolt and nut and part on the car is available easily.

[@sirspeedsalot]

@@MahadShahzad08 and you said you have a 99 civic , you didn't pay attention to what I said , those are extremely reliable. The 2006 and up civics are not nearly as reliable .

@@sirspeedsalot Bruh how can you assume I am kid cuz I own a civic. In my country (Pakistan) we have a lot of market for the civic unlike in the states and I am not comparing civic to a Z cuz Z is a true sports cars so it has every part available in its market.
