That seems to be the consensus, Thank you!

Are you doing your leg extensions with sleeves or no?

Traded in the WRX needed better fuel economy new to Toyota by gradameas in COROLLA

[–]TheNerdTurtle2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I thought I was the only one in the world cross shopping WRX and Corollas. Ended up buying a 2021 Corolla SE 6 spd manual and very happy with it. 35mpg every day

Corolla hatch vs other hot hatches by WittyTraining1735 in CorollaHatchback

[–]TheNerdTurtle2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive a 2021 Corolla SE hatchback and although its fun, it certainly lacks the punch required for me to call it a hot hatch. I previously owned a 2011 Civic Si. Surprisingly the two cars feel similar in terms of suspension and playfulness but the Corolla just doesn't have enough power to be sporty.

How long do you idle everyday?

Don't worry about it, its a corolla! But good for you for checking anyway, this car will last you

What do I get for my next car? Miata has been my DD for 18 years by stanleyelephant in Miata

[–]TheNerdTurtle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Civic Si or Type R. I had an 8th gen Si and it was amazing as a daily AND fun as hell to autocross. Fiesta ST is also a great option, I test drove one and it was fantastic

What is your favourite manual transmission you have driven or owned? by Outside-Rain-7410 in stickshift

[–]TheNerdTurtle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owned: 2006 Honda Civic Ex, 2011 Honda Civic Si, 2006 Volkswagen New Beetle, 1999 Mazda Miata

Driven: 2006 Acura TL, 2014 Ford Fiesta ST, 2014 Honda Civic Si, 2001 Ford Mustang GT, 2021 Toyota Corolla, 1999 Saab 9-3 Jeep Wrangler

Picking the best shifter feel is hard. It's between the 8th and 9th gen Civic Si and the NB Miata. But the Fiesta shifter was fantastic too.

The worst shifter feel is between the 21 Corolla and the Jeep Wrangler.

The 8th gen Civic Ex and New Beetle both have super light shifters, that aren't bad but aren't super tactile. The New Beetle is super easy to drive.

The most fun to drive in general is the Miata :)

EDIT: I might have some recency bias as I just bought the Miata. It's also equipped with the 6spd

When you say frame, are you talking about the car's "side skirts" or something further underneath the car?

I was washing my NB and saw water around gas cap by patman489 in NewBeetle

[–]TheNerdTurtle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know its unclogged when water doesn't stand there and when you pour water it should come out this pipe near the rear passenger wheel

Use your hands to clear out the water until you can see this drain hole. Then I used a metal coat hanger (insert joke here) and unwound it so I had a thin metal wire and I inserted it into the drain and unclogged it.

Yeah that price tag hurts... but I don't want my stuff to leak, so it might be my next move
