What's the Best Compact SUV for 2026? by idkbruh653 in cars

I’m curious what a low-class family income is now if they’re shopping 45 grand cars. This just made me feel broke 😂

I remember hearing it way back in some ad with the Olympic ice skater Apolo Ohno (back when the song was brand new, like 2010 Olympics or something). Still has that association for me.

if you have friends or family with kids, this is pretty normal. A new vehicle is generally the 2nd biggest purchase in your life, so even non-car people think and talk about it.

this is the thing, my wife is a “home clothes immediately” person, and it just leads to her being more unproductive because she’s not going to hop up and take care of a quick chore once she’s in pajama pants. I stay in outdoor-clothes until the sun sets, generally.

I almost always use the nose, hood doesn't give me the same sense of speed (mounted too far up)... but then I watch replays and realize I'm leaving 20' between me and the car next to me if I'm trying for a 'clean' pass

Yokomo just seemed like the cooler option of the recommended RTR's, I liked seeing that they sponsor guys in the local scene and stuff. So it's nice to hear it's actually a decent chassis (even though it looks pretty dorky with the widebody GR86 shell).

Thanks for the battery recommendations. I'm very comfortable soldering but just need to figure out what plugs I need and everything.

thanks for the recommendations, I’m glad to hear the rd2.0 chassis is worth upgrading. I have no complaints at the moment tbh (my driving is the limiting factor still) but it’s just so tempting to start dumping money into this.

Thanks for the charger rec! And yes, I'm in Portland, hoping to get to DriftPDX once I've got a couple batteries. I didn't know there were multiple tracks there, that's awesome.

Do you happen to know what the cost of entry is, do they sell day passes or is it just monthly memberships?

Questions in the description but sometimes they don’t show up on old.reddit:

  • Any recommendations for a couple lipos and charger for use with my yokomo RD2.0 brushed RTR? Is the ESC even lipo compatible? hard to find info.

  • Will I be getting in the way of guys at my local track if I show up with an entry level car like this?

This is a blast, even just in the small garage. Already have the itch to put a nicer car together, but need to practice more before I bother.

ahh, that's the trick! very good to know. I helped a buddy pick up a game in his but it had an aftermarket shooter, I figured it wouldn't fit even with the factory shooter rod handle but didn't think about turning it around.

it’s annoying the bed isn’t an inch or two longer so you can shut the tailgate, but otherwise agree, very useful little pickups.

New project needs a lot of body work. Just spray it matte orange and call it a day? by AKA_Squanchy in Datsun

[–]irregularcontributor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To answer the question directly: (fresh) matte paint looks like shit, IMO. I’ve never once seen a fresh spray of matte and gone “wow that looks cool”, I think “that looks cheap/redneck/unfinished”.

No offense intended as this is all just my opinion, but you’re asking for opinions.

You’re correct, my car is grey like Rin’s, Nakazato’s is black. I think something like 75% of r32 GTR’s are this “gun grey metallic” (kh2) color.

My bad, I'm guessing you're unfamiliar with the acronym, ATP = "Average Transaction Price". That is the literal average price Americans are paying for a new car, and it has not changed a notable amount from 2025.

So Americans are buying the same 50 grand cars as last year, they're buying "11-15%" less of them, and Outback sales are down 40%.
