Agreed on all points :mahtroy:

Btw you meant E90 with the V8? Not the F80 ? The E gen is plagued with a lot of issues unfortunately .. and it’s tiny in the back. Like you def can’t put a car seat and someone in the front
Yeah but E90 seems to be at the bottom of depreciation and is a lot more special. Both that and the F80 are interesting to me.
Not to mention, it could start to appreciate like some cool old bmw's do after 20 years.

:jimp:

We'll see if the crashing used market has any effect on this car. Spotted my first one the other day in this color. :megusta:
My prediction … 41.5k tops. With the CB fee that puts it at market rates. 9k miles is a little high for most current gen cars also.
Sold for $43,210. With fees and whatnot that's about $45k.

:iono: after I sat in one in person... I was pretty disappointed at the quality of the vehicle. The Corolla felt like a 20k econohatch and the civic felt a bit more like 35-40k. Yet their prices were a lot closer a 6 months ago... around 45k for the rolla and 50k for the shitvic...
AWD be damned.

Hey friends. Back after a while and I think first time posting in the :plac: thread.

I heard GR rolla talk and I want one, but disappointed to hear the interior feels cheap.

On another note, I’m looking for a daily to pair with :cheese: so I can finally start treating this thing as nice as it deserves. I think I’ve made up my mind already (German with 3 character alphanumeric model) but I’m going to test drive its competitors before making the choice. Trying to stay under $30-35k used.

:hibachi: for now but I hope to add to the 2024 :plac: count if the finances make sense after I move.

Local :dillerman: has a $500 discount on one. I wonder how well they're selling.

max225 wrote: Fri Feb 09, 2024 2:20 pm So compared to an m3 imo the CTR is a far more usable aka throwaway car you can put some miles on without excessive maintenance/cost worries.

Imo I would feel much more comfortable taking it to 100k than an m car… better mpg, cheaper parts, better dealers. And probably close to the amount of fun… yea the i6 is far faster and rwd can slide sideways (where tho) but the civic is almost 1k lbs lighter… and is still quite a bit of fun
I would Acura but Hype R/Type S are a very unique proposition these days if you can get one at MSRP I would back that purchase all day.

Sure they do. Brand new AWD 300hp big fendered fanboi machine that will have a depreciation curve like a tabletop? Yes it's a Corolla. It's a Corolla with the mother of all factory mods. And a warranty.

No I’m saying it as another hint. It’s not an RS3, I can’t afford it and I’d like more spacious back seats to account for the Miata not having any. Actually, in a lot of ways, the second car is going to be good at everything the Miata isn’t. And its weaknesses are things the Miata is good at.

It's not like a Yugo. If I was struggling I'd rock a Corolla SE without thoughts of seppuku.
