What's the best, most fun to drive car for daily driving?

they don't make these in manual any more

They don't even make them anymore

>Beating $100,000 cars
maybe from the 90's

Just found this gem
What the fuck is wrong with STI """"Drivers""""

they're fucking retarded

I see tons of WRX STI's with more than 100k and these fags want 17k+ and they're beat to shit and have mods and crap

Just Craigslist "cobb" and see what comes back

>steering has no feel
it's responsive enough considering it's proper AWD rather than a direct steering RWD car, have you driven any other AWD cars?
>pedals have no feel
clutch has a decent grab, could be alot worse
>can't do hektic skids
don't know why you'd want to do hektic skids in an AWD sedan
>rev hang
can be removed with tune. When i testdrove new WRX i didn't notice it, maybe because i'm not launching the shit out of it or redlining
>shitty infotainment system
what makes it shitty to you, for me it had little input lag, but had some nice features
>hvac controls suck ass too
do you not know how it works? it's been same since 2005, the dial adjustments are fine
>steering wheel sucks
absolutely the steering wheel is dildos, bunch of buttons forced is no bueno

Its the best sub 30k brand new AWD turbo manual you'll find.

>110k on body
>3k on 4th engine

Every fucking time

gonna have to agree with most of it other than last 3, but i am comparing it to my awful ford interior

stock wrx vs a stock st the st wins for fun levels. my friend dd's a slightly modded wrx with exhaust, tune and some other minor things. the exhaust makes it feel nice, but the controls are just so dead still. it's a good platform with lots of grip, and one of the few awd turbo options, but imo it's not too fun compared to brz, fist, fost, fors, miata, 124

>rebuilt
>18k

It's just a riced sedan from the factory. The STI is literally AIDS ( a different type of sti). What is it with all of these new factory riced cars? From all manufactures...

>I know the cars worth
Obviously fucking not you vape infused IPA guzzler

>it's responsive enough
I'm not talking about response, I'm talking about the ability to feel the traction of the front wheels through the steering rack
>clutch has a decent grab, could be alot worse
the clutch is what ever, but I'm used to drive by throttle which feels like pushing on more than a little spring
>can be removed with tune. When i testdrove new WRX i didn't notice it, maybe because i'm not launching the shit out of it or redlining
I bout the car for the factory warranty and I'm not going to mess with that, when I test drove the car I thought my stick shift ability was just rusty, it wasn't until later that I realized what was happening
>what makes it shitty to you
I have to take my eyes off the road to use it
>do you not know how it works?
I know how it works but the dials have no fixed positions, and the detents are weak, so just like the stereo you have to take your eyes off the road to use it, on top of that if you turn the dial far enough it automatically turns on the AC, and there is no position on the dial for the front vents, there is a separate button, but that cranks the fan all the way up by default.
>absolutely the steering wheel is dildos, bunch of buttons forced is no bueno
Finally something we can agree on, you cant even wrap your hands around it at 9 and 3 since the spokes are so thick

I bought an '18 WRX, and couldn't be happier. The '18 fixes a lot of small things, and really sharpens the front end.

>steering has no feel
It doesn't have tremendous feel, but if held firmly you can feel imperfections in the road. I agree mostly, though. The '18 has fixed this a lot, though.
>pedals have no feel
I don't understand this one much. Break pedal is great, and very easily transmits feel and fade. Clutch was fine in the 15-17, but was revised in 18 for a MUCH better feel. Gas pedal is standard DBW.
>can't do hektic skids
You can if there's low traction. Then you get do hektik ass four wheel skidz
>rev hang
Easily overcome and mildly inconvenient at best.
>shitty infotainment system
Horrific.
>hvac controls suck ass too
I have no earthly idea what you're on about here. Climate control works wonderfully.
>steering wheel sucks
It's an amazing wheel. I really don't get this one the most. Very well sized diameter, flat bottom, wonderful thumb wrests/grips/whatever, perfect roundness, and easily unobtrusive buttons. ('18 used real leather, which feels soft, supple, and much more premium).

Overall, I personally thoroughly enjoy my WRX. Don't let the entirely cancerous following deter you from at least a test drive. Not without flaws, but they're wonderful machines.

>Easily overcome and mildly inconvenient at best

how do you fix the rev hang?

Uh I dunno man I think they've had leather on the steering wheel for a long while now - they certainly do on my 2017 at least.

something like this

...

A slammed shitbox isn't really fun to drive around as a daily.

Nissan 370Z !!

ksl.com/auto/listing/2947966

This has been relisted over and over for months. They wanted 40k originally for a car that MSRPs at what, 30k max? Blows my mind. The dealership is sketchy as fuck too

I see now they say it's an STi in the description.

...

GTI

What did they do to the clutch?

I'm happy with my turd gen mr2.

Fiat 500 is pretty fun. The "500" stands for the 500 different ways you feel like you're about to die at any given moment while driving it.

Haven't looked at the newest gen WRXs, but if I had to guess probably some clean emissions system turning on at throttle close.

Don't let the cancer get to you. I've had my 08 since new and it's amazing how capable it still is. Albeit after much modification. Have fun with it.

Its because the WRX's limits are so high, unless you're driving 8/10ths it's not going to feel that fun.

I'd still personally buy a Focus/Fiesta ST because its that much cheaper...but I own a WRX Wagon right now and will probably keep it for a long time unless it gets totaled out.

just that guy is when you can find running and driving 04-07 STis that aren't totaled out (often clean title) for $10-14k

shit i bet a crashed one from copart would run closer to half what he wants

>Beating $100,000 cars
>subaru
not even once

2017 WRX
Cobb AP3 running MAP stage 1 tune.
No more rev hang.
Better MPG.

My r53 Mini Cooper S straight piped fun little thing

Shit tune get it on a dyno if you want actual results.

What are Veeky Forums's thoughts on the Impreza's older brother, the Legacy?

The new 2018 wrx doesn't have Rev hang. They fixed it when they made the transmission more dd-able

The last great Civic.

This is so true, the car is only fun when you are going balls to the wall in it, which is way over the speed limit 100% of the time.

I've had mine for 6 months and can honestly say it is not a "sports" car at all.

It has many good points, and is a pretty comfy DD that is quick, but a very numb feeling car with a fucking annoying clutch and gear box (I will admit the 18 fixed that a lot)

I kind of wish I had gone BRZ, but the practicality of that car is just too weak

Eg hatch with b series vtec
