I think what destroys the car community is the fact that nowadays everyone can argue on the internet about things without even having any experience. Many people don’t even know how fun it is to drive around in a Mazda MX5 or Toyota GT86. They always think the faster the car the more fun and enjoyable it is to drive, but that not the case.

@@sabersz and the thing is they have never experienced the actual sense of speed of driving the speed you would irl too. If they grew up playing only Forza or Gran Turismo , they would just think that chucking mods on the car would make them better when sometimes stock is adequate enough to enjoy the drive and those games make you feel like driving 120km/h(75mph) is slow asf when in reality it can occasionally give you the “if I make one wrong move, I will die” sensation.

Honestly, the only thing that bothers me with the gt86/brz is the sheer cost of it, over here they are 15k+ used (at the very least), the originals look quite nice, handles decently well, and has an improved subaru engine (can't get enough of the ole boxer 4 sound), even left stock (maybe with some rims tires and brake pads+lines) they are great track/spirited backroads drive cars

[@soilent9618]

With the second gen BRZ and 86, literally my only complaint is they're a bit loud on the interior due to the obvious lack of sound dampening for weight/price savings. Outside of that, it's basically the perfect daily sports car. Affordable, lightweight, decent cargo space for how small it is, good power stock (now), superb handling, excellent steering, and the BRZ has quite a nice ride as well. I really can't think of a car with a better mix of all these. Mustangs have more power but are bigger and heavier, MX5s are smaller and lighter, but aren't really dailyable, Corollas are more practical, but aren't true low CoG RWD sports cars, and finally Zs are less practical, heavier, and way more expensive.

They're spec sheet racers obsessed with whatever is trending. That wouldn't matter if they kept to themselves but they also engage in gatekeeping, judging others by what they drive. They have this idea that the car defines the individual to the point where they think it also is a reflection of their abilities.

The Gr Supra in a manual is the greatest thing they could have done to supra, people who were going to buy an auto already have, and the people who were running into tuning roadblocks with the autotrans now have a manual transmission and can now build the gr supra to the moon... without worrying about the auto causing issues when it exceeds a certain power threshold.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

I mean people have already found the limits of the auto. They've been made built versions to handle more power with ease and run just fine.

@@lagod63 I'll give you the break down when the Mk4 was released, or at least in Japan where I lived at the time. Simply put everybody hated the Mk4. it was slow stock, didn't have the all-wheel-drive system of the GTRs, but had the weight of one, didn't have good weight balance, and for the same starting price of the NSX. Which was a better car in every single way. So I find it funny that people are criticizing the mk5.

Looking back, whenever a manufacturer released a new car, the layman would just look at it and decide whether they wanted it or not, now it's a bunch of 12-year-olds complaining about how "the new version doesn't look like the old one". No shit, why would you pay for a 'new' car that looks the exact same as it did 30 years ago. Inflation of cars is also because of these kids fanboying over them and placing them on a pedestal Point is, if you have the money and don't like the car, don't fucking buy it.

[@Xchax3]

I blame the prices on the “ I know what I got” guys. And when you see the car, the owner doesn’t even do basic maintenance on it and prioritized paint and RICE shit. It’s rare to see guys that take care of the cars AND want more than what they paid for it. It’s a machine and it deteriorates regardless of the upkeep. A beat up 90s Skyline GTS is not worth almost $100,000 🤣. Okay, I vented my frustration with some owners.

I just hope the MC20 doesn't use the FCA mirror adjustment buttons. Those are so terrible, that you can't disable mirror adjustments. It has to be turned on to either left or right, there's no off position. And the buttons move, so there's always going to be one sitting up and one pushed down. I'd actually rather not have power mirrors, than to deal with the OCD-triggering adjustment switch.

[@odeo5691]

Dealers should have to disclose exactly how much over msrp they sell for. Instead of just saying it's over msrp instead saying "We are selling this car for $21,634 over the base price which is 34% over" just to make sure that out loud someone hears it and puts it to scale and maybe dealers won't get so egregious

[@tacticalyuzu8278]

Man, this is so true. I think one problem of this whole "CAR A IS CAR B KILLER!" thing is that it sets the bar too high.

Kinda like how some anime gets tons of criticism because the expectations were way too high.

[@Xehemoth]

Comparing the Z to the GR Corolla is fucking stupid. They are NOT in the same class, the Z doesnt have 4 doors, hell it doesnt even have 4 SEATS. Be thankful that Z exist, because if it didn't your chances of actually getting the GR Corolla would be Z ero. Think about it, if the GR Corolla is the ONLY CAR coming out this year and there are only 6000 of them, what do you think your chances of getting one will be? Even if you could, having less variety/availability is EXACTLY why retailers are able to sell them so high over sticker (Look at what happened with the Type R) now imagine if there wasn't the WRX STI and Focus RS competing with it when that debacle happened.

Sidetracked anyways people forget having a nice car and just driving it here and there and having fun in it even if it isnt a rocket. People were proud with a 2.3 liter mustang fox body. There are people that loved the bottom spec Boxter and still exist but only the old cars. These days you have 3 types of classes: 1-Ultra luxury big sedans/SUVs 2-Ultra Fast coupes small sedans/SUV Coupes 3-Cheap to the bare bone just with AC and a cheap navi Hatchses or the other side EXTREME low lifespan small engine Mega Hot Hachbacks.

I'm honestly upset over the hype of the GR Corolla. It's ridiculous. I was excited when the car was first rumored shortly after the GR Yaris release, because I used to own a Toyota Matrix 5 speed that I really loved, and my best friend had a Vibe GT 6 speed. Essentially both of those cars were corolla chassis and drivetrain hatchbacks. I always wished those cars actually had a fast model with aftermarket support. That's why I was super excited when the GR Corolla was officially announced. But with all the hype and people throwing their money down for the car when it hasn't even come out, I'm sitting here wondering will it even be worth it at this point?
