I'm looking into buying some fast shitbox that handles well or at least decently on snow and old GC seems to fit that more or less. I'm not sure if I should just go for that or look for other cars
Preferably it should also do decently in some auto-/rallycross, but I'm not sure if it's possible at such low price (below 3k $)
Inb4 i have driving experience so I won't kill myself (probably) and know more-or-less how to work on a car, also I'm an eurofag so American cars are out of question
What's Veeky Forums's opinion about this car?
I own a gf8 which is the hatchback of this and i fucking love the car, i bought it to learn cars when i was 18 and i rebuilt the engine and fixed the suspension but nothing really crazy, it handles really well its not very fast, but its a solid car.
Shop around for some good cars for ralky in your area, epif youre hoping to do rally in a car it will need alot of work done to it before hand (suspension and general modification) so be prepared for that. Also depending on how serious youre going roll cages are essential too. Nothings more scary than rolling and in rally its pretty common and its just safer because your seat belts will attach to it.
yeah, i know that and im prepared to throw more money into that car for tunning later on, so thats why i was planning to try autocross before rally
besides subaru, i think that i've only seen miatas and celicas doing any good in it, but im not sure how either one of them does in snow and miata's looks really put me off, thats why i was looking for suggestions for a shitbox that would do decently in autocross since it seems that im too retarded to find it
Subarus are shit. Just get a civic for 3k.
>civic
no, thanks, if subarus are shit then i would like to get some other suggestion
A civic. It's the perfect econobox.
as i said in the op, i want something fast tho, not a necessarily, but a shitbox
>Impreza L
boy it better be an STI or an RS
good luck finding a 3k RS though
A wrx is not fast.
Well, fuck me then
An ej22 Impreza L is great but it is not fast
What cars would be better alternatives to impreza then?
anything cheap and fast that wont kill me on the first turn when its snowing pretty hard is more than enough
Literally any fwd shitbox
literally the opposite of what this guy said.
Fast, cheap, reliable. Pick two.
fast and cheap
doesnt need to be that reliable, but i just dont want to do donuts in winter
reliable and cheap for me please, thank you
Civic
Civic
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Its like a civic but it can drive in snow a lot better and it comes as a wagon. BTW, the 2.2 liter is indestructible if you even take decent fucking care of it, ignore the head gasket posters.
>fast
Not here kiddo.
>no fun here
Why?
cheap fwd shitbox with good winter tires > busted ass Subaru with average, or worse winter tires
but what would be good then? Prelude, Celica, crx?
What are some fast shitboxes?
how much money can you spend?
3-4K $, keep in mind that I'm in eastern europe, so some cars are way cheaper
Well I am in eastern Europe and I drive the gc4, the 1.6 liter version. It is slow as fuck. The 20 hp on the 2 liter version won't make ot faster and the turboes are not worth getting because they are driven by idiots.
Eh, i hoped that GC 2.0l ~110 HP would be fast, need to look for something other then
Don't get me wrong. It is still, at least for me, an amazing car, it's comfortable, it got more space than a comparable Audi or a BMW from the same period, and both the sound and the suspension are amazing for what it is. But the AWD is really holding the car down in terms of speed it comes with an upside though, it can tow another car uphill in the snow with no problems. If you want a "fast" car for that price look at either an s4 or a 325+ BMW
Okey, thanks for help user, I'll think it over and see what will fit me the most I guess
Prelude and Celica are decent in snow, but neither is fast or good for tuning
GF8 is a wagon, not a hatch.
>t. 2000 outback sport owner
Oh well, thats a big turn off, really liked looks of both but I really want something fast
Buy my RS
$2K
From?
America. Sorry yurop lad
Get one of these oh pee
>ladder frame
>true 4WD (is RWD when 2WD)
>peppy 1.6
> Available in 5 speed manual
Some other good options
>Suzuki Sidekick
>Suzuki SX4
>Suzuki Vitara
>Toyota RAV4
Out of these, only ones in budget either have steering wheel on the right or are wrecked
Also should've mentioned it earlier, but I don't really like jeeps
lul
It's heavy, yeah, but
What state? Not driving to hick-county to tow your damn beater.
...
Where do you live
Which one is RHD only? Afaik they're all available in the US
Also dude jeeps are cool. Especially with a 4.0
Noone is only rhd, but in my country cars brought from UK are way cheaper, so RHD are the only versions in my budget range
And I prefer sedans, coupes or much more, just my preference
Post your car then.
AMC Eagle, if you can find one.
Also, consider a v6 rustang
I wish I could consider one, but I'm in europe, the only offer in my country under 4k $ is without an engine
