Don't drive it daily in Chernobyl while eating borscht.
Dat my fav activity... FIW, my grandpas car which was a blue wagon was fine, after 20 years of driving around 150 miles away from Chernobyl ( where I was born)
So you lived on the real fury rd? Damn.

I added another candidate to my potential yet not 100% appliance DD list recently: 2010-12 Genesis Coupe w/ V6 +
I haven't driven one, but reviews are promising for the price. Looks like something in between a 370Z and G37 but cheaper than either and it runs on 87. Yes, the 50-100 cents a gallon discount here for 87 is a significant savings MAX!
Check my fake sport thread... some really weird shit...

I'm going to some palace in India when I am touring around. The king or whatever that lived there was a car collector under British rule and there are apparently some amazing things.

You have a racekar and a hooptie yet you’re talking about a bunch of money on a kimchi coupe to save money on regular ?

I'm talking about a more fun DD that's still pretty cheap but not necessarily the cheapest thing possible.

The Gen Coupe kinda blows, I've driven a few. I've only driven the 2.0T, automatic and manual. It was overwhelmingly a "less than the sum of its parts"experience, like most Korean cars seem to be.

There is no point in getting a genesis coupe when a 370z and a G37 exist. Yea it may be cheaper but it is also a hyundai...
I just want the Polo GTI over here. Always have. Neat little car.

Polo looks neat, it was kind of awkward looking before, but it looks like they fixed that.

I was thinking first gen 3.8 w/ brembros and torsen. Every review is positive

YAS. These are what, MkIV-ish size now? That was perfect IMHO.
That said, I feel like Polo coming to US rumors have been happening since the first time VW Vortex crashed and burned, so like, the better part of two decades. Not holding my breath.

If new Polo has IRS, then it would be neat... IIRC the old one was twist beam which means you might as well get a Fiesta ST.

Is the Polo actually better in that regard? The Abarth isn't and IIRC even the mazda2 has the fucked up miniminivan ergonomics. Sonic is that way too.

Betting the Polo would have more useful interior space compared to FiST - doubt ergos would be much better
Holding our for real Turbro Yaris or Fit Type R.

Id so FiST over the other options. Mazda2 is hideous. Abarth is for the exhaust. But thats about it for that car. And Polo looks off to me.

Seems for a cheap NFG car. About on par with an 11-14 V6 rustang but with better seats/suspension/brakes and a little smaller footprint.
I had a 2011 3.8 Track. One of the worst driving/riding cars I ever owned and I kept it only ~6 months. The suspension was way too stiff for the road and the car was all over the place. The build quality was better than I expected for a Kia.

What is a "minivan" ergonomics ? High seating position?
G37 doesn't have a better exterior than anything. It's full-on bloated bulbasaur Altima styling.
Gencoupe would require a long hunt to find a non-trashed v6 brembro non-sunroof model at a low price, so there's no real point in any of it. I only see one for sale currently and ain't nobody paying $14k for a used hyundai.
blue wagon was fine, after 20 years of driving around 150 miles away from Chernobyl ( where I was born)
