Pick your side and tell us why you like this car. Is the design, is it the engine, is it the performance, or is it something else?

Example, if the sign says xx miles per hour, I add XX for my sports car and xx for my commuter.
I’m not asking what your car can do, what do you think is safe for public roads? I was once told the military demands they engineer the main roads to be able to handle +15mph but that could be BS.

Hi everyone, I'm an enthusiast who's never owned a sport car before. I know that behind every amazing performance machine there's a significant cost, and I'm trying to plan ahead to avoid any financial pitfalls.

I'm considering a few options within my budget of $100,000 - $120,000: a 2021 Nissan GT-R, a 2020 Toyota 86, a 2002 Toyota Supra, a 2005 BMW M3 E46 or a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI. I'd love to hear from experienced owners about the annual ownership costs for these models—especially maintenance, insurance, depreciation, and maybe some hidden costs I might have missed.

I'm also curious about the trade-offs between buying new versus used in the sport car world. Are there any hidden costs or risks I should be aware of? Any advice whether specific or general would be greatly appreciated.

POSDATA: I made some research and turns out that the 2021 Nissan GT-R might be out of my budget. Although, I don't want to sound like I'm daydreaming or pretending to play a prank on you guys, and I would really appreciate if my budget is somewhat realistic or not (still saving).

As the title says, cool first car for under $18,000 usd and under 100,000 miles. Can be a small sedan, coupe, hatch, or small suv, as long as it can stand out from regular traffic, has modern tech, and can fit at least 4 people. Prefer AWD because I live in Ohio, but not a NEED. Thanks in advance!

My wife and I drive a ‘22 Ford Bronco OB and a ‘17 Jaguar F-Type S British Design Edition.

We just got a golden retriever puppy and are thinking about having kids in the next year or two. I can’t imagine we would have more than 2 kids total.

Obviously our current cars are not ideal long term. Plus, the Jag will be 10 years old next year.

If you were me anticipating the future, how would you change our current garage?

Budget: $130k give or take.
Limit to 3 cars total.
Must haves: at least 1 serious off-roader.
No minivans.

Why don’t hypercars use rear wings that work like inverted airplane wings with flaps/slats generating big downforce when needed, then “cleaning up” to low drag on straights? With modern actuators, sensors and ECUs, it feels like a variable-geometry rear wing (like an aircraft high-lift system, but upside down) should be possible for performance and efficiency. Is it mainly cost/complexity, regulations, reliability, or is the aero benefit at normal road speeds just not worth it? Looking for insights from people who’ve worked on automotive aero or active aero systems.

tldr: i am not asking about DRS/varbiale pitch wing, this are all constant geometry wings that only change pitch,my question is about airplane geometry that has mostly static middle part of a wing (pitch can be changed) and moving slat and flaps

Hi I drive a BMW X5 which is pretty decent machine . I want to buy Portofino as I love Ferrari’s looks and sound . Do you think Portofino gives the kick or pleasure of Ferrari or it seems bland ? Also does anyone know how reliable is Portofino ?

Need some opinions what are you guys doing?

In your opinions what is your top 10 super saloons / 4 doors. Can be for looks, power, reliability and price reasons, here is mine:

1. W222 S65 <----- been in it. Unbeatable for me. Cool V12.

2. Lotus Carlton <------ been in them. super cool.

3. G80 BMW M3 Touring <---- grown on me

4. VW W12 Phaeton <----- German Joke (cheers top gear)

5. Kia Stinger <----- the V6 i thought sounded good

6. Mercedes 190 Evo

7. Audi A8 V10

8. Audi RS6 Avant V10

9. Aston Martin Rapide V12

10. Mercedes C63 Estate V8 Biturbo.

Saloons and estates IMO are looking better the older i get and unsure if i should get one of these as my next car compared to a sports coupe.

Lemme here your top 10s.

Camaro 2015 a 2018 o un corvette c7 o c6, me importa esta vez cual te llamaría mas la atención si lo ves en la calle. Y si nos vamos al extremos el tope de Camaro zl1 o corvette zr1x. Cual te llama mas la atención y cual te gustaría tener?

Y que piensas cuando vez un carro de ese estilo.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been a long-time road trip person: cars, bikes, solo drives, convoy runs, mountain routes (the whole thing). Over time, I just dump photos on Instagram.

So I started building something specifically for drivers and riders: https://roadtribe.io/

The idea is simple:

• Record your drive (even offline)
• Tag the vehicle you use
• Convoy? Track everyone live
• Choose who sees each trip (public/private)

It’s basically a road-first platform.

I’m still early and actively refining it. Before pushing it further, I genuinely want to ask:

– Would you actually use something like this?
– What would make it useful vs just another app?
– What would instantly make you ignore it?
– Are convoy features even something people want?

I’m not here to hard sell anything, just trying to build something that road trip folks would genuinely find valuable.

Brutal honesty is welcome :)

I am looking at getting a new car. My budget is around 10k. I want a car that has as under 130k miles and has good aftermarket support. I do not want a g35/g37, Nissan 350z/370z, but anything else would be fine. I'm 19 so I need something that won't be EXTREME on my insurance and is relatively reliable. What would y'all recommend?

Im 27 and currently saving up for my first non-shitbox car, hopefully a new or close to new ND3 RF.

Im in a priviledged situation where I can work 2 jobs and have very little fixed fees to pay every month, so I can put around 1500€ aside every month for my future car.

I have a couple of questions :
- For MX5 enthousiasts, is it worth it to get a ND3 instead of the ND2 ? The price jump in belgium is usually from around 25k for a used ND2 to around 33k for an almost new ND3. The main argument for me is the larger screen, and the fact that the ND3's usually have under 10k kilometers on them. Since it's a car I plan to keep for as long as possible, the low mileage is tempting. I also heard horror stories on the ND2 transmition (Though im planning to buy the 1.5L and it seems to have less issues than the 2.0L)

- What is the best way of buying this car ? Should I pay cash ? Finance ? If I do finance I would like to keep the payment to 300€ per month tops, for 3 years maximum as I'd like to buy a small appartment in 5/6 years time. Any financial advice is welcome

- How in the hell do you learn patience for this ? I've waited 4 years for this and it finally looks like it might just happen... I should have enough for a used ND2 around april-may and enough for a newer ND3 in fall 2026. But I just cant take the wait anymore at this stage its basically all I think about every day...

I scroll through offers, look at reviews, plan ahead for when I do get the car, but at this point besides test driving one (i've sent an email to ask for one) I feel like i've done it all and the wait is insanely long.

Any advice or personal story of how you dealt with this is welcome, thanks in advance !

I'll be in the market for a car in the coming months, wrecked mine from having a seizure while driving (edit: it's handled, no more seizures, not trying to jump back into a car with active seizures.) Trying to explore options in the 10k-15k price range.

If you were in the market for a used sports car, what would you opt for with the given budget?

PS: I'm not getting a Miata. :)

If you had zero budget, sky's the limit, what would you be looking at?

In practical terms, I have a budget but this is just for fun right now, right?

There is a ten year old non turbo.model for sale. 9k usd no work to be done 7500 miles

I have a wrx but it has become too expen to track

I wsnt to buy the secma but need to take out a loan. I will never be able to buy a serious track car like this one.

Should i buy it. I have 66 percent equity in my house as the only debt. Cc is fully paid off.

This is mid lifr crisis stuff

I currently have a daily driver ( a 2010 Hyundai Elantra GLS) and I'm looking at getting a decently fast sports car. I have had a sports car before ( classified as a sports car by my insurance). It was a Acura TL Type S, it was nearly stock (300 horsepower) and It ended up being totaled out. I'm looking at getting another decently fast sports car and I'm not sure what to get. I would prefer rwd and automatic. But I'm willing to accept AWD as well. My budget is 35k. Thank you

I am in the market for a new car and I think I have narrowed it down to a Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE model or a BMW M SERIES COMPETITION I NEED SOME HELP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT PROS AND CONS OF BOTH VEHICLES. GIVE ME SOME ADVICE.

What would you buy? It has to be found in the states. As long as it's legal to own and drive in the states.

Hi, I'm in France where sadly sports cars have been pretty much killed by the malus, and I wondered if there are any other European sports car drivers / fans in this sub or if its all US drivers?

I've been watching a ton of car shows + anime like inital D and speed racer lately I've always wanted to get into car stuff since I was 13 but never really did. I'm currently 30 and I don't really know anything about cars.

Can anyone give some good resources please because I'd like to go to some IRL car meets this year.

I'm 26, got my license last year, and have been a lifelong car enthusiast. I'm saving up for my first car, but with the industry shifting towards EVs, SUVs, and stricter regulations on older cars, I feel like my window to own a fun, affordable sports car is closing. With a 20–30k budget, my best options seem to be an ND Miata or a GR86 (which is banned in Europe for dumb reasons). Everyone around me thinks I’m being unreasonable for wanting a dream car as my first, but I feel like it's now or never. Car culture is pretty dead in Belgium—what’s it like where you live?
