the better looking wrx, the legacy which was basically a wrx for old ppl, looked classy and of course subbie stopped production last year. i was seriously thinking about a legacy a few years when the neighbor kid got a used one and me and his dad (the old 72yr old) fixed it up, until the kid blew a piston
Not gonna lie, looking like a Gen one Mustang would be badass. The lack of sound would be eerie though.
Thanks. It did take a while to find a fun color on a car that wasn't beat to hell with 7 owners. This one is sometimes red and sometimes orange, depending on the light.
I'm with you there, I used to switch cars a LOT and would have 2-3 at a time as well because they would overlap. I've had my current vehicle 7 years in June, and not looking to do anything with it anytime soon. Had my house over 15 years. The stability is very nice.
Of the crew that I used to run around with, all are done with cars except one. Not so much as a base 911 to be found amongst the rest of us. Cars were fun when they were cheap. $100- $150k. A friend lost that on depreciation alone on a new 296, and that doesn't include the $90k he lost on making payments for his previous 296. $240k is a good chunk of the way to that 675 you bought. Unlike the 675, he can't drive and sell money he lost.
The 296 crashed hard. They made too many, the prices were too high out of the gate, and there is a lot of questioning the hybrid tech. You can get a new, delivery mile for 20-25% off from a franchise dealer. Shame because it’s a fantastic car.

Try to find a diesel one still kicking around
Man don't recall these only getting 20mpg, I think I got a bit higher highway but still wouldn't be a great commuter but I miss my 08 I had a decade or so ago. Dsg and awd was pretty sweet year round.
Been flirting with a commuter that would make any sense. Hybrid Maverick or anything even making 40mpg doesn't make any sense after paying 20-30k. Been eyeballing some turbo velosters for like 6k. Not too too slow, make like 32. Hul decent bit of shit. I hate I'm electric curious for one less oil change.
60 miles a day on my truck or the jag.
Thought they were maintained nightmares, r32 is more about nostalgia zippy hot hatch era. Certainly kinda a crappy commuter next to a modern car for mileage.
Won’t be reliable or inexpensive to fix. New golf is less interesting than an R32, but more dependable. Mid 20s on the highway?
My daily does 20 on the highway. But, I would be unhappy in something economical and ordinary. I bet if you really thought about it, you would also be unhappy in something you don’t like or appreciate.
I mean the 6k 33 mpg veloster might assuming something doesn't break between 100 and 150k miles and a couple years. Anything newish for over 20k certainly not. Wife would curse us with another juke but I refuse to be seen in one even if it actually does snow well.
Burren speaks 100% truth here, saving a couple $k on the car purchase buys a shit ton of gas.
