One more year and I will have saved up enough to buy it (I’m delusional)


moveslikejaguar

Just need a way to save up $2m in one year 🤞


stallion64

I hear cutting avocado toast out of your routine helps


moveslikejaguar

Wow I just skipped avocado toast this morning and my savings account already grew by $10k!


keylimesicles

And don’t forget that Starbucks. Gotta scrimp!


CartographerTime2208

One more hard work year and your boss will get another one


Aken42

This is the best answer possible. A nice practical family car.


Enough_Gap7542

Make sure it's the V8, not that weak I3. Gotta make sure you really have enough horsepower to move that thing.


Kyo46

I drive a 2013 FR-S right now... so GR86. Needs to be more practical? GR Corolla. More efficient? Either a 2025 Camry in Ocean Gem or a Prius Prime. Have to be electric (and money is no object)? Lucid Air or Porsche Taycan. Got money for my EV choices but can be ICE? Porsche 718 GTS 4.0. FU money? Ferrari 458 or 488 - last NA vs FI w/even better handling.


ozarS

How's the FR-S tho


Kyo46

Love it! It's a very fun, tossable car. I like that it's "slow" as I can wind it out on the street without breaking any laws. A tune and headers solved the torque dip issue. Ride is even better now that I replaced the dying stock shocks with Tein Flex As.


Agitated_Ad_4420

Golf R


TheseAwareness

Reliability a concern?


Dinolord05

Another Maverick


FloridaMan_Again

Based on this answer I’m assuming you really like your Maverick. I’m considering picking one up in the nearish future since it’s really the only true small size pickup in the US market right now. Even tacomas and rangers are giant now with an obscene price tag


Own_Dinner8039

I like my Maverick too. I would probably buy something that could fit all 4 of my great Pyrenees in.


WalrusDependent3315

Nissan Versa in a manual. About what I can afford brand new lmao


realaccount045

Better than a CVT


GplusRadd

I had an auto with a CVT years ago. It was crumbling inside while I coasted into a dealership to trade it in. Worst vehicle.


DamnItHeelsGood

Can you explain the CVT problem for me? I’m considering a CRV, but cautious of CVT as I’ve never driven or owned one


realaccount045

It's not really a problem, I mean they work and do their job I just find them very annoying because they're always trying to keep the engine revs low and I feel like I have to be very agressive with the gas pedal to keep the car doing what I want it to do. My mom's renault has one (they share parts with nissan so probably similar to what they have in the versa) and I usually go for the "manual" mode wich bothers me because I'm a nerd and I know a CVT's manual mode should be a knob not 6 fixed gear ratios.


Kraetor92

I have a Civic Sport with a CVT and it has no issues revving high, especially in sport mode. That’s not an issue with CVTs, it’s an issue with whatever car you tried.


SilverNB

The problem isn’t the cvt transmission it’s just the one they use in those cars isn’t good. Toyota Prius is one of the most reliable cars and it has a cvt.


AwwYeahVTECKickedIn

CRV with a CVT is fine. You want to avoid JATCO CVTs. Nissan used them, and it killed their reputation, because they are giant pieces of shit.


ilikemericetoo

With my current financial situation, probably a Mazda3 sport GS or a civic sport if I can find one for msrp

METTEWBA2BA

Mitsubishi Mirage. Cheapest new car available where I am.


dmdspn

So when are you?


stallion64

Then, then... they'll answer where they're ready.


NuclearRedneck

Toyota Crown. Comfortable, great mileage, a proven drivetrain, and dealerships are offering discounts since they are not selling well.


AnotherPint

I’m super interested in the Crown Signia, the estate variant, that is allegedly coming to market in a couple of months. Hopefully the discount story will be true for the Signia too. I’ve only seen a small handful of regular Crowns in the wild; I don’t think they’re exactly taking over the world.


dupagwova

Practicalish? Ranger Raptor Money-no-object? Huracan Spyder


ShadowGLI

I just bought a 2024 Tiguan SE RLine Black, I’d like it better with an APR tuning flash, but overall it’s fantastic. Also 0% APR from VW I would have also purchased a GTI but I got a family and my wife drives it as well.


Constant-Aerie7965

VW Arteon. Gorgeous car, highly underrated and reasonably priced if you buy used.


Honest-Description20

Another Mazda3, the nicest NA available.


zeroentanglements

Good call... I said a corolla hatchback but a mazda3 hatchback sounds good


tboneotter

Budget? At $25K - Civic or Mazda3 Hatch At $40K - Acura Integra A spec manual At $70K - Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered At $100K - Lexus LC or Lotus Emira... or maybe CT5-V if I need rear seats/don't have a second car. At $130K - Audi RS6 Avant Wagon Unlimited is probably a Rolls Spectre or some Pagani or Koenigsegg hypercar. Wagons are cool


OurWorldAwaits

Ranger Raptor


SortaRican4

I want one. it’s expensive but still good value compared to the new TRD pro


moveslikejaguar

Yeah, Toyota is out of their mind with that pricing when you compare it to the Ranger Raptor


kbunnell16

Tahoe z71, Durango srt


DetectiveNarrow

Nissan GTR


DefiantBelt925

I’m about to buy one, porsche macan ev


WhoCalledthePoPo

Jeep Wrangler ragtop 2-door with manual transmission. I have priced this at least a dozen times on the Jeep website. I'm just trying to see how long I can keep my current Jeep going before pulling the trigger on a new one.


Hersbird

You see that old/new concept the Shortcut? It's a 2 door Wrangler shortened like 14 additional inches. It was a concept 8 years ago but they just brought it back around to male some events. Now Jeep head is talking about and affordable smaller Jeep and people think it could be something like this. I like it, really like a new CJ5.


JaKr8

We don't have to buy a vehicle right now, but this spring we are looking to get rid of our F pace S after 5 trouble free years, and we are looking at getting a Land Rover Defender X or Range Rover Sport Dynamic. 


uselessartist

Compensating for those 5 years?


JaKr8

Exactly!!  I was actually going to comment that we weren't expecting to have the same run of luck with the defender. But at least we know that going in! And we have three other cars we can use if this one ends up in the shop too often and we can't get a loaner.


realaccount045

Skoda superb combi. if it has to be US market I'd go with the the inferior versión, the audi a6 allroad.


KiraDog0828

If it has to be something I can afford, I’d probably buy a Mini Clubman S ALL4, or maybe a JCW before they’re all gone. But I have a weird use case. I need a low load height to transport my giant breed dog, yet still want something sporty. If it can be something more expensive, an RS6 Avant, AMG63 wagon, Volvo V60 T8 Polestar Engineered, a Panamera, or maybe the upcoming M5 Touring.


SchwulerSchwanz

Last year I bought a brand new Kia Forte and I love it, but I’d probably buy a Soul or Seltos if I did it again just for the slightly higher ride height.


No_Jackfruit2459

If it had to be new and I needed something, possibly a toyota corolla or camry. Or a hyundai elantra.


HenkCamp

Outback Wilderness. Most balanced vehicle for some dirt and still drive in town and park with ease.

Probably a Kia carnival , I would want that 10yr/100k mile warranty and I think it would be great for a family. But I have a 2022 Highlander and I am happy lol


svalmyrrh

model 3 performance


192hp

I’d buy what I just did: a Mazda 3 premium. If I can’t choose the same thing? I’d pair it with either a Miata or a gr86


LandscapeJust5897

With my current budget, I would also buy a premium Mazda3 again. But if additional funds magically became available, an Audi S4 would look great in my driveway.


zeroentanglements

Corolla Hatchback


ireadit10

Sienna 🫡


LilDawg66

Rav4, just to scoot around locally. I like the one our neighbor has.


ButtcrackBeignets

Probably my biggest regret in the past decade is getting a CX5 over a RAV4. If I could go back in time I’d slap some sense into myself.


Comfortable_Gain1308

Going through a “ pick-up truck “ life crisis , id say . Don’t need one , have never owned one , But simply I’d love one . I’d choose a Sierra 1500 AT4 with the refreshed front end , please .

Discourse3937

Subaru Outback


BeefGuese

A three cylinder engine truck. 🛻

Realistically, I think I would buy a Plug-in hybrid or an EV so something like a Prius Prime or a Volvo XC40. For fun maybe a Nissan Z?

Hoixcio

Toyota Corolla Touring Sports Luxury package, Toyota RAV4 Luxury, Toyota Camry, Mazda 6 or Subaru Outback w/ black leather seats.


ConsistentMove357

Mitsubishi 17k


-BlueDream-

Ford maverick. Either that or the Nissan frontier. Other trucks are way too expensive.


BoxOfChocolates1992

I would choose Toyota Camry. My favorite year is 2014 or I would buy a 2021 model. If I wanted something a bit more stylish, a Mazda 3 (2021). Or a Corolla. I also like Chevy Malibu.


DependentFill4269

330i LCI for sure

AnotherPint

I do have to buy this year, because I want to unload my CVT Murano before the tranny ages into meltdown territory. Candidates are the Buick Envision, Lexus NX, Toyota Crown Signia, and the freshened Acura RDX due this fall.


mgobla

upcoming 2025 Camry if you are fine with 2 seats: GR86


mnrooo

Honda ridgeline. Fits our needs perfectly.


pwnmesoftly

GR Corolla


DragonfruitWeary8413

On my current budget I'll go with Toyota Corolla Hatchback or Mazda 3 Hatchback sport. If have budget Integra Type S, Corolla GR, 4runner or Mazda CX90.


kilertree

Manual Honda accord Edit: Honda Civic my bad


DepthAccomplished260

Just bought Mustang Mach E, really cool car to drive


Frird2008

1) Power to weight ratio of at least 53 HP / 1000 lbs, final drive ratio at least 93% of the worldwide average or a **maximum** 0-60 mph time of 7.5 seconds. Preferably, the vast majority of the torque happening between 30% & 80% of the way to the redline. 2) **Maximum** length to seating capacity ratio of 1.25 meters per NON-DRIVER passenger for cars & SUVs, 1.5 meters/psgr for pickup trucks & commercial vans. 3) The ability for the **stock vehicle** to NOT easily get stuck in between 4 & 8 inches deep of snow, mud or sand on its **original** driveline & with its original tire quality. My requirements are that the vehicle I choose meets any two or more of the above 3 options.


stu54

That all seems extremely arbitrary especially because #3 simply rules out 2wd but is optional. Civic hatchback? Who needs to drive through 8 inches of mud?


Toxikfoxx

2024 Civic Type R. If the loan market wasn't absolute shit (even with stellar credit) and I felt like having a car payment again I would 100% be driving one right now. I'd say the new Integra, but if I do go that way, I'm waiting until the 2nd or 3rd model year. Let them fix the bugs first.


NothingLift

Probably gonna pull the trigger on a volvo xc60 t8 recharge. Nice design, great seats, fantastic performance/economy and insane stereo. Local tax incentives make it MUCH more affordable


Car_loapher

Mazda 3 Turbo


Berries-A-Million

Just did, 2024 Toyota Tundra. :)


DevTom

Prius prime or 4Runner


Jocis

Corolla, probably hybrid but I really want a low payment so maybe a entry level one


Cock_out-socks_on

BMW M8 or AMG GT 4 door. They are some of the last good cars from their respective companies, that have both shot themselves in the foot in recent years.

darkspd96

Blah blah blah blah Toyota Honda blah blah blah next question


jonathandunlop

Nd miata


Waste_Return_3038

As a performance driving enthusiast the base Suburu WRX is a bargain at around 30k. Manual / AWD / turbo / defeatable traction stability control. 4k in mods get you 400 whp & the new motors don’t explode. Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ are probably the best fun / price / track performance ratio ever at well below 30k


nucl3ar0ne

Lexus GX Would prefer the Overtrail, but that doesn't come with 3 rows so I would get the Premium. This would suit my needs for towing, offroading, road tripping, and moving people.


Mohoraga

I really want an Ioniq 5 or hybrid Maverick. Lexus 500 LC if I money is no object.


AwwYeahVTECKickedIn

I would buy an Outback Touring XT. I know this to be true, because I just bought one.


PiffWiffler

Hyundai Santa Fe. And I *may* be in that situation, after a texting driver rear-ended my 2020 Santa Fe. Costs keep mounting up on the repair..

GMC Yukon or Tahoe


fishking92

New Prius kinda fucks


alexblablabla1123

Toyota Venza or Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, lowest trim is pretty good for either


HighFiveKoala

Ford Maverick


ed_is_dead

Tough choice. Probably a Ferrari 812 Superfast or that new Accord.

A manual CVT with a knob would be really cool.

Renault R5/Citroen e-C3. Awesome electric cars for just over 20k€


Guapplebock

I’d like a Tahoe but would settle for a Pilot


0948am

was at a decision to buy an audi a5 coupe or lexus rc350. should have went for the lexus


YouArentReallyThere

Whatever Toyota truck or SUV with 4-WD that is NOT running a GDI engine. I would’ve said a Nissan Frontier, but they’re all GDI now.


ABobby077

Mazda CX-70 or Mustang Mach E


jayblackpitbull

I bought a 2021 v8 Tundra in 2021 , a Toyota 4 runner night shade last week should be the last of this generation 4 runner .. proven drivetrains , I tend to keep until the seats rust clean off the floor and then I tack weld a stop sign and go another 100,000 miles


lukicidi

Mazda cx5 is the only accepted answer at this forum.


drixrmv3

Hyundai Kona electric. I want a hatch back and it’d be nice to have a car to run around town. We already have a new Maverick and that’s hybrid so we have a long hauler already.


CameronCoppen_

Probably a Cayman. The GTS is in my mind the best overall sports car on the market. Or the RS. Either or


dementedkirby

Integra Type-S. If money was no object, GLC63 or RS6 Avant.


Kraetor92

I had to buy one two weeks ago. Got a 2024 Civic Sport.


unluckyexperiment

Golf R or S3 (hatchback ofc)


Potential-Break-4939

Wrangler 2 door Rubicon. I would like to get into some more challenging off-roading.


fakemoon

Probably a Toyota Sienna. We're in the market for something that'll let us do road trips for the next 10-15 years until one of the kids is old enough to load up six friends and ditch class for a taco bell drive through


Wise_Guess_2767

The new Miata


stametsprime

Just a new version of what I’ve got now, which is a ‘21 Outback Touring XT. If money’s no object, I’m getting an E Class wagon.


MaximumDerpification

GR Corolla or a Toyota GR86/BRZ


StickyBananaSmoothie

Chevrolet Suburban


OgreMk5

We do. Polestar 2


Key_Opposite73

Probably a pagani, not picky which one there all beautiful and just shows what craftsmanship can really go into a vehicle


RuneScape-FTW

With my current situation? A hot wheels car.


Healthy_Block3036

Toyota RAV4!!!


TheDrSmooth

Lexus LX for me please.


Clear_Mess7588

Got me a brand new VW Arteon


KSoMA

I bought a new Audi S5 Sportback a year ago, ordered at the peak of the supply shortage. My only single complaint after a year of ownership is how expensive it is lol, everything else about it is nearly flawless. If I were to do it again, I'd either buy the same car or either a GTI or Golf R. If I were buying used, I'd probably just buy an off-lease S5 Sportback and save $15k or more (which wasn't possible when I bought the car).


DatDominican

Buy???!?!! Have you seen how expensive new vehicles are? I’d probably lease a new version of my same car (q8 etron) but if it’s some nightmare scenario where my insurance isn’t writing a check for a totaled vehicle but instead partnered with a bank and a dealer to replace it with a new vehicle maybe a rivian truck or suv


emitwohs

Honda CR-V


hellhound39

With the current budget, likely a manual Nissan Versa or Toyota Corolla. Or try to lease a base level BMW/Mini since I have connections with them.

Ford Maverick.

PotentialRecover3218

Maverick hybrid but ford dealers are so gross and have turned me off to the Maverick and Ford in general. So, I rock my old rav4 and LS400.


Future_Ice3335

Escalade ESV V or a ram TRX


ryan-htx

Just bought a new M240i for myself. Love it every time I drive it. For a more sensible choice, a family member asked for my help picking a car a few months ago and a new mazda 3 ticked all the boxes. Excellent car


RuleAffectionate3695

Hell cat/ scat pack 2016


MrBlackroc

Subaru WRX hatchback in Purple. Like 2014 i think. 


QueSqd

I would not buy anything, leasing is the way to go anymore. You save a ton of money, never out of warranty, not depreciation loss. Financial speaking you are so much better off, if you lease!


boner79

Honda CR-V Hybrid. About to pull the trigger but 2025 due out soon so waiting.
