What do, Veeky Forums

what do you drive currently?

why do you think you need something newer?

2004 saturn ion redline. runs nice but it's noisy and not that comfortable for long drives.

128i/135i

Do the Focus ST. The MK6 GTi is nowhere nearly as good.

I'd also look at FRS/BRZs. Memes aside they're awesome cars if you have no expectation of straight line speed.

Bus Pass

I don't know much about cars but I know not to get a mid 2000s GM

How awful is the maintenance?

I was thinking about the Toyobarus too but cargo space is the biggest worry.

How much cargo space? You can always use the back seats to put stuff in a toyobaru

You forgot the looks and drives like shit part

get the golf

2010-2013 Mazdaspeed 3 is an option as well

Saab Always Absolutely Based

They're dirt cheap, and contrary to popular belief if you're careful they aren't too unreliable

Step 1: Stop being poor
Step 2: Get a well paying job like a CDL driver
Step 3: Buy a Subaru WRX STi, Ford Taurus SHO, or Kia Stinger GT.
Step 4: Have fun every day.

3 series bmw

saab the fallen soldier

>they aren't too unreliable
p damn reliable

VW, ford is shit.

135 can be a little finicky, but there are preventative measures you can take which make them dead reliable. 128i is bulletproof

They're literally GM shitboxes skinned by the Europeans.

>dirt cheap
>aren't too unreliable
Choose one.
I'd say that their value is reasonable. And they are pretty reliable. You just have to find a good exemplar that has maintained well. Don't hope for the top quality when the value is barely in four digits.

The Saab in his pic is a reskinned WRX wagon.

Wrong, faggot, it's a 9-5

You're thinking of the 9-2x

Autism, was meant for

gti

get the mk6 gti if you enjoy replacing the intake manifold and waterpump every 5k miles.

The brz is not comfortable

they are basically subies with better build quality and pretty face

Only 2 models, the rest are better built Opels with an engine that has great tuning potential.

Focus is the better car, but the Golf will probably depreciate less (although that's probably not good for you buying used).

How did one collaboration turn into such a meme that Saabs are Subies

By that logic all Chevies are Daewoos

>Only 2 models, the rest are better built Opels with an engine that has great tuning potential
tfw have hard boner on old opels and saab being rekinned opel makes me even more diamonds

Ford Mondeo
Any newer Skoda / Toyota / Honda
