Guilty Pleasures - Cars you shouldn't like but do anyway.

They have the sr20, not the det though. Cool little cars.

Makes sense. These are so hard to find clean examples of. Would love to have one for daily duty.

The Infiniti G20t also came with n/a SR20 and available LSD, nice interiors for the period and great seats. Used to really want one for a daily.





Cool pic but fucking huge:

Clean civic hatchies. I would and probably will daily the shit out of one at some point in my life. If they were rwd... Shit

Agree

Very big citroën fan, I cannot find any other description then just cool. They used to be a pretty common sight 5-10 years ago but they have pretty much gone extinct except for diehard fans. Amsterdam does have a very high concentration of old citroëns, I want one bad

and add an NA miata

This is my guilty pleasure....



Where I work we have one of these (2006 Outback XT) in the fleet. This is my go to car for any work-related road trips. In case you're wondering, my other options are: Mazda 5, Mazda MPV, and a Toyota Highlander hybrid. The Subie is the sportiest of the fleet....and a very comfy road trip car. The wagon is really practical and the AWD system sets the bar which others are measured. My only gripe is the gearbox is an auto. 5-speed manuals are out there, but harder to find.

I can't think of a single car that I SHOULDN'T like, but I do.

I do like a lot of cars, but I have reasons for all of them.

I agree. An Outback XT 5MT would be an awesome car. Which is why it wouldn't fall in to the "shouldn't like" category :)

This, a daily driver.

I don't have to worry about anything more than the traffic around me. No stress, no worrying and fairly cheap to maintain. The 2.4L in it has enough power for easy merging. I can shove so much stuff into the back, they fold flat and even the front passenger seat folds down. I don't have to worry about scuffing the interior or exterior when loading/unloading large/heavy objects.

However it's soulless, uninspiring and blends in. The pleasure I get out of it is being stress and worry free. I can park wherever I find the closest spot but sadly I won't remember where I park it nor look back at it.

-BP Legacy snipped-

I like BP's quite a bit, there are just never any decent ones around, and I'd have to tinker with it a lot to make the car I want.

I also like the BH, and since they're 15 years old, I could import a GT-B and have most of what I want, I just don't care for the body style as much.


While it's not a car, I really think the Honda K-series engines are the shit... modded at least. High compression 2.6L all aluminum 4banger screaming to more than 9k with a big dirty cam making 300+hp for half the price it would take to build an equivalent BMW engine? sure. I just need to wait for one of the honda kids at work to wrap their car around a tree.

I want to put a k series in my Miata. Not wanting to go boost, while keeping the cars balance... K series seems to be the way to go.

Why not 2.3 Duratec/MZR?

Daihatsu feroza

crappy picture but I do really enjoy my 1.0L 3 cylinder turbo fiesta.

the engine just sounds so good and has plenty of power for a fuel efficient dd.


And just to add the engine is built in germany.
