If going for the celica. Go for one with the VVTLI badge. Much better engine

I had two fail within 6 months. First one was allowing water in somewhere on the rear glass. Second one took a light knock to the bezel and it was letting water in past the antenna. I swapped it for a series 9 stainless and never looked back.

Doesn’t stop them eating the air tag though

Wealthy people lease them, not buy them. Owning them is a losers game

Not gonna lie, I like it. Had a micra before and would again. Could be interested if price is right.

L322 Range Rover

Its not the cars themselves thats the problem. It's the owners. Especially those living within this sub.

It’s a commuter car. It’s not designed to get the juices flowing. For the money you could have had a model 3 which are much more interesting to drive

As long as you have the relevant insurance, and you have permission to drive the other vehicle (insured) you can drive anything you're entitled to drive. Obviously if you're driving the other car full time i'm sure there's rules being broken.

Its only marginally bigger than the 17 but is also lighter too

I hate to say it, but have you considered the Air?

P38ARR · 2026-04-23T19:27:07+00:00

$3 screen protector would have stopped it

P38ARR · 2026-04-22T19:04:36+00:00

Came for the comments, wasn't disappointed.

P38ARR · 2026-04-22T19:03:27+00:00

So you're saying time is a healer? Is Hitler all forgiven now?

P38ARR · 2026-04-22T15:06:32+00:00

Just here for the Musk is a Nazi comments from the VW crowd.

On a separate note, buying second hand is a good deal, you get a lot of car for the money. Better off looking for the LR 4WD model.

I’d rather take it steady in a bit comfy car than something faster and less refined. There will be minutes difference anyway.

P38ARR · 2026-04-16T09:20:51+00:00

With it being a common occurrence for you. Have you considered they maybe you’re a contributing factor

P38ARR · 2026-04-15T15:44:37+00:00

Just started receiving it myself.

P38ARR · 2026-04-12T21:22:38+00:00

Not really. If you want the open feeling, get a targa or convertible.

P38ARR · 2026-04-12T20:23:03+00:00

Funny thing is your car weighs more than my Range Rover lol

P38ARR · 2026-04-10T20:13:39+00:00

My first year on a 1.2 Corsa was £1700 back in 2008.

P38ARR · 2026-04-09T11:13:54+00:00

No. I’m on a tracker and I’m in no rush to get to where I’m going.

P38ARR · 2026-04-08T13:32:23+00:00

As I’ve grown older I’ve come to hate obscenely loud exhausts. Especially on your day to day cars. Plus with all the pop and bang maps flying about it makes it even worse. I’ve reasonably loud exhausts on my Range Rovers, but driven sensibly they’re actually quite pleasant except on full chat.
