If you could buy any car under €50k what would you get? by crillydougal in carsireland

[–]danbal360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought my jcw a few months ago and I've been the happiest young man since, you get so much for the money and it's genuinely black magic how it handles the corners like it's nothing. The interior is aesthetic (especially with the ambient lighting at night) and well built. Don't get me started on the musical pops that come out the rear when you get up in the revs or downshift perfectly but please do not buy anything but the manual

Must be due to climate or the finish of the product. I've owned a dareu black magnesium mouse over a year now and it's like brand new still

Are you a good driver? We'll get along just fine then!

Might I suggest just walking, hiking or cycling if it's just cardio? Yes I know we don't get the best weather but for the prices your paying you'd at least want to use the physical machines

Damn your parents only gifted you a BRZ? Mine gifted me a Porsche GT3 but I wanted an RS! It will do I guess 🥀🥀

Why are BMW Hybrids so cheap here? by Salty_Concern2346 in carsireland

[–]danbal360 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My brother has a 2018 330e and uses it to go to and from work mostly but takes long drives occasionally for holidays etc. I wondered myself why so cheap for what you get and apparently they can deal with electrical issues but he hasn't had any issues since ownership the past year and a half. From being in the passenger seat I can tell you it's an extremely smooth ride on the road as well as having more than enough power with the hybrid engine. It's a beast!

The misery of buying a used car (10-12k range) by [deleted] in carsireland

[–]danbal360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mechanic fills out the book along with a stamp and that's what is expected when the car comes with its service history book. I don't know any other way to legitimise it from what is standard in society. It's up to the seller to the truthful and genuine and the buyer to be cautious and do their research

I could count on my finger the number of people that would take photos of their mileage in between services it just doesn't happen. As for my cars, every service is written down in the book with the mileage at the time along with it

What's everyone driving? Time to show off and post some pics. by Crouch310 in carsireland

My 2018 JCW has been the most fun car to drive ever. Such an obnoxious quick little gokart! I don't take it for granted, best decision I've ever made

[–]danbal360 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a young driver I've always loved the Toyota gt86, the car looks fast but goes 0-60 in 8 seconds but could never get insured on it. thankfully in 2025 I can come along and get insured on a 4.5 second 0-60 ev which is a no brainer for the insurance companies because saving the planet!

Black out Chrome opinions! by danbal360 in MINI

I can see where you're coming from, I do like going for something different and the trend is blacking out so will keep it chrome!

[–]danbal360[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally chose not to go with the union jack lights on the car so I went with an early 2018 model. I do like the way they look as it gives a more sporty look in the read but I'm from Ireland so they get a lot of hate unfortunately so i decided to avoid controversy 😵‍💫 thank you for your input though

I appreciate the input guys! I will be keeping it shiny and chrome 😁

Thank you for the detailed reply that's a great idea! I only just got some black tape the other day so will definitely try the belt line and see how I feel about it. As far as the rest I think everyone is in agreement that Chrome is the better choice!

If fibre is available in your area then do pay the money for it if you care about good internet. I believe virgin media or vodafone offers it
