Nopics car choice. Small chick car for fuckbunny girlfriend

[<---cop]

All of the current stock is from Japan. Thailand stock has already been sold and the plant won't be up and running until late April at the earliest. Honda Australia is sourcing all of it's new stock from either Japan or Europe as a result until Thailand is back online.

Are they really better builds or is it an imaginary stereotype placebo better?

Those hyundais look like a great car, but I will not own another car with a smaller engine than my motorbike, my nopics will have to wait till they make a turbo version at least...

I had a look at these the other day and was impressed. I was really surprised to see you can only gt a 1.6 litre motor at the moment. I would have expected them to put the i30's 2 litre in at the very least.

Dunnit the 1.6 in question have more power than the I30 2.0?
Prolly cheaper to build it with a turbo & n/a version of the same powertrain; and the 2.0 probably wasn't appropriate for turboism.

$15,990 driveaway 2011 manual i30s for pretty much any hundai dealer

story goes they have a 2.0 four as standard but they built a 1.6 for countries that have preferential tax on 1.6 or less so they brought it here as a price leader and now they have heaps of them

the 2.0 isn't a ball of fire but i imagine the 1.6 would be fine for people not interested in M1 300 membership

1.6 4 spd auto would be troubling

A quick check of the stats reveals there's not a huge difference between the Veloster's 1.6 and the i30's 2.0. But, given it is around 100kg lighter, the extra 20NM would be handy.

i20 and i30 1.6 litre has 91kw and 156NM, weight 1115kg for the i20 and 1300kg for the i30.
Veloster 1.6 litre has 103kw and 166NM, weight 1265kg.
Elantra 1.8 litre has 110kw and 178NM, weight is 1289kg.
i30 2.0 litre has 105kw and 186NM, weight is 1360kg.

1,3 ton vs. 91kW and 156Nm

fun

Kelvinators aren't supposed to be fun, they're supposed to make shit cold & not be noticed otherwise.

Yet 30 years ago people were buying Commodore wagons with the 2.8, which had less power and about the same torque iirc, with a 3 speed auto and 2.8:1 diff and found the performance and economy was acceptable.
Don't bother trying to decide what car to get for the fuckbunny, you'll give her a list of decent cars and she'll probably ignore them all.

^^^^ This
Ask her what cars she likes... then steer her to the best deal/car in that list. That's all you can do.

Don't be a fag. Now has the FB20 and CVT.

go drive a new focus, they are pretty good. i just bought one for the missus. can get them for $20k driveaway at the moment.

the dealership gave me a fiesta to burn around in while i wait for the focus to arrive. they are also decent, but a bit smaller and flimsier.

And takes 10.5 second to get to 100. That's Subaru's idea of progress.

Subaru off cards. Ugly as sin. Will try and talk her into 2008 corolla build # 183574675757869709827265. They work.

[Captiva Fan]

If she'll accept a Corolla & the old-person image that goes with it, then you could just as safely recommend a Mazda3 or Civic.

Really, is 10 sec 0-100 unacceptable for a base model Impreza? Blistering performance is not really on the cards. Subaru's idea of progress is active safety. All these other shitboxes use electronics for supposed safety and handling. Subaru uses that and the same shit they have for the last 20 years, traction. I wouldn't put my wife and family in anything else.

Cracka, 2008 corolla? I thought she wanted a new car. While a 4 year old corolla costs nearly as much as a new car, it isn't new and neither is any of it's features or technology.
