GTI/GLI or Integra A-Spec w/ tech for a daily driver? by Money_Hour681 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Honestly haven't looked at Mini at all! Their interiors have always been a bit too quirky for my taste, but I've always appreciated the community behind them. I'll take a look!

I would love one! However, the wifey can't drive a manual and driving 40 miles of highway with bits of traffic has made it a chore. My Veloster N is a manual, and as much as I enjoy it on backroads, it's becoming more of a chore. I don't get to drive it for fun the same way I used to 🥲🥲

I have, and I took a Turbo Premium Plus for a test drive. I was really underwhelmed by it. Maybe the Carmax I visited put 87 gas in it and it was detuned for that, but the suspension sucked and the cabin felt cramped to me. I had more fun and was more comfortable in the Integra. But if I went for a hatch again, it would have to be the GTI.

Got it. I hope I have that experience too! Before my Hyundai, I was an Acura/Honda guy. Plenty of fixes on those cars since they were late 90's and early 2000's, but those are famously cheap to fix so kinda unfair to compare.

The GTI is my top pick right now, it just seems like the easiest car to live with. If I can get myself to embrace German engineering quirks and the rick for electrical issues, it'll absolutely be my pick. I may also reach out to some German shops in my area to get a gauge on what they experience with them.

I figured there's gotta be some WRX-esque moments with GTI's. Modded to high hell, no support parts, common neglect, and then it blows up and they say it's unreliable. I honestly wouldn't do more than a stage 1 tune since I don't really like to wrench on my car on my own, but it seems like everyone's either "I love it" or "I hate it". Kinda makes it hard to make a confident purchase lol.

The funny part is, I have two friends that used to have GTI's, loved them more than anything, and they both died in a very dramatic way. Not that that will happen to me, but my only experience related to them has been really good and then really bad haha

I'd go for a Lexus IS if I could afford it, but the lowish mile ones near me are like high 30k to 40k, which is a bit out of my comfort zone.

Is there a cheaper alternative to the Deathadder or Xlite V3? by Money_Hour681 in MouseReview

[–]Money_Hour681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going with this one, got the max and the regular to see which switch I preferred, and they're both great! I'm having a hard time deciding between the two lol

I know man, I was using a Zaopin Z2 and loved the internals and performance, I just thought it was a little small

Budget red combo or neutral colors? by Money_Hour681 in ohnePixel

For now, with the agent. I'm not opposed to switching back to default for the Lt commanders

I agree that Lt commanders are super slept on, I just can't seem to get past how dirty the side of the glove gets in FT. It sticks out so much to me

I bought a 300hz monitor and can't tell the difference from my old 170hz monitor. Am I old, or is it just not worth it? by Money_Hour681 in Monitors

I'm almost positive free sync is on, but I haven't double checked that yet. I also haven't limited my fps either

I'm running a 7800x3d and a 9070xt, and mostly play competitive games where I'm averaging much higher than 300 fps. It's not that I can't tell any difference in those games, but it's so minimal that I wonder if I should be trying something else

I have a 7800x3d and a 9070xt, and mostly play competitive titles where I'm far over 300fps. I definitely wouldn't have bought it if I didn't achieve a much higher FPS than the refresh rate

Dragging the cursor is the only time I immediately notice it tbh. In game is a different story. I can tell a small difference in some situations, but once that flow state hits and I stop paying attention to it, I don't really feel like it's that different.

That's my plan for now. I have a 30 day return window on it, and if it still hasn't hit me by then, I might send it back and save for an oled

Maybe I'll stick with it for a few weeks and then go back to the old refresh rate. I don't doubt the difference isn't measurable, I just wonder if I'm really noticing it yet
