My New Car!

nice gti

way too small for me, I absolutely despise little cars. They made be good on gas but they've got no style. Not to mention ya can't fit 4 grown men in one comfortably.

My next car I'm buying within the next 2-3 months will be one of the following two. Most likely the Denali cause it's a lil more affordable and you can find really good ones used.

Hmm, I've had 5 big guys in my civic, and it's counted as a small car. And it's stylish too.

But hatchbacks has more space than average sedans though.

I'm not saying you can't squeeze them, I'm saying it's not comfortable. I gotta have a lot of space to be comfortable. Not to mention when I'm driving the seat is practically all the way back so it sucks for anyone sitting behind me. I had a civic back when I was 16 and it was cool for the time. Stylish is debateable on that though, civics look just like every other small car on the road. I personally won't drive any new cars, only SUV's, if I'm goin back to a car it's gotta be a classic big body. I just don't like the cookie cutter cars of today, they don't stand out and they've got no personality.

A golf is not a small car.
What you have there though is a picture of a tank!
Geez, you yanks and your tanks!

Welcome to finland to buy a big car. Prices start from the 50K.

And I think it's comfortable, I'm 187cm tall and I need the seat quite back too, but the people haven't complained.

yeah, I think it's a difference in culture, from pics I've seen over there in Europe it seems everyone has small cars. Over here I guess we're kinda spoiled cause everybody drives somethin big.

In Europe maybe it's not considered small, over here it'd be considered tiny.

And no one blames you (yet) for sucking up the vast majority of the earths oil supplies!!

lol, it's all good. That shit is bad for the environment anyway so all we're doing is speeding up the process of getting rid of it all and forcing them to design a new and better way to run cars. Gotta think positive.

That's true. I hope americans understand the economy some day. I'm glad younger people buys Japanese cars in USA.

They only buy em cause they're cheap not cause they actually want them. Any kids with rich parents still drive big caddillacs or SUV's. Still ya gotta give us some credit, my Dad has a '66 GTO that gets like 7-8 miles a gallon. Even the big ass SUV's we drive now get better then that, we've improved slightly, lol.

I've read some Acura communities, and they praise the car in the name of mother and god. So I think if they had money, it'd be spent in better parts instead of big SUV's. But It's all good, we need different people. Good thing is, new american rides are getting better and better. That's mainly because European technology, Cadillac's have lots of Saab parts and Saab has Opel parts.

I'm not sayin all kids would trade up to the bigger things. The tuner kids wouldn't because they're into that whole import scene and making their small engine cars fast and all that. I'm sure if they got really rich though they'd upgrade to porsche's or something cause all they're really after is speed and handling. Those groups are few and far between though, over here you even see 80 year old women in big ass SUV's and that's crazy to me cause they can barely see over the steering wheel. lol. They need to be driving small import cars cause then at least they could control the damn things.

Well, I gotta leave work for awhile, was nice talkin with you guys. I like discussing the differences in how we do things. Before I came to WBW I knew absolutely nothing about Europe and was always really judgemental when it came to anything non-American and everyday I learn a lil bit more just from talkin to people here and it's totally changed how I view Europe.

And USA has really good opportunities to support these "kids". Your carlaws ain't ridiculous like we have here, you have almost every parts you can ask for etc. If I want special parts I need to order from Holland, Germany or USA. I'm not saying finland doesn't have parts, but the price... Christ.

If you love cars and driving, don't ever move to this country. You can't even install turbo afterwards without stupid fucking exhaust tests and pricy checkings.

See ya later. Glad to hear you think that way. The car culture is so different in both of these areas.

I cant belive how much petrol you guys use!
Its near to a £1.00 a ltr here!
Over 85% of that is tax too!
We pay far too much for our fuel!

No girls in this discussion huh. Time to change that right now! I have lived in the States a couple of years, in the Sunshine State. Therefore I know Americans might like their big SUV's but the built quality of American cars is cr*p. I had a Jeep Wrangler there. Cool car, 4x4, elevated due to terrain suspension, but always something wrong with it. Back in Europe I now have a BMW Z4 and those are way more reliable and built an awful lot better. Sorry Swiss 407, but you know European or Jap cars are superior to your massive GM and Ford cars. (K)
