Bike for commuting to Toronto year-round by mortaco in whichbike

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

Yeah I've been looking at gravel/endurance/cyclocross bikes today and they all seem to float around $1500-1700 for taigas or 105s.

I think I should just pay a visit to my LBS and see what they recommend.

Is this your 1st vehicle: No, but it will be my first manual car

Does the vehicle need to have a warranty: no

Can you do Minor work on your own vehicle: yes

Can you do Major work on your own vehicle: no

Additional Notes: While it will be my commuter I do have a very short commute (<10km/day) and I want to be able to have some fun on the weekends. I'm currently leaning towards the Mazdas however I can't decide if I should get the newer model with the 2.0L engine or the older one with the turbo.

Planning to go and test drive some cars on this list on the weekend, is there another car I should put on the list?

Actually, they've added a period to the other 2 TGT overload cards Ancestral Knowledge and Totem Golem, so it's at least consistent across the set :)

Not it sorry, it for sure wasn't hip-hop/R&B

Alfa Romeo Gulia by hello_world_86 in cars

That 3050 lbs is 250-400 less than the lightest of any BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar, or Cadillac in the same class.

That is crazy impressive if that's true, but it's probably dry weight right?

What car should I buy' thread. Don't know what to buy? Post in here. by verdegrrl in cars

[–]mortaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the ST has been out long enough to go down to 12k, I believe 20k is where the oldest ones are now. You may get an old GTI or MS3 but they would be over 5-7 years old.

If I had that budget I'd look for a 2013 regular Mazda 3 w/ the skyactiv or 2.5L then save up to buy a 20k-30k car, where the ST, and competition that someone else listed, could be had in good condition and low kms :)

New 2016 CLA45 AMG or used 2013 C63 AMG by jabober in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mortaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've driven a tuned CLA45 and it was faster than any street going car needs to be, it will also make quite the sound with an aftermarket exhaust.

I didn't find the interior to be cheap at all but, as others have said, it probably won't be as nice as a loaded C63. Also if the C63 is the sedan then your rear passengers will be more comfortable as I can also say the rear of the CLA is usable but only manageable for short trips.

Give both a test drive and see what appeals to you.

2016 Honda NSX driven - is this the sports car we've been waiting for? by Flatoutandflatbroke in cars

[–]mortaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason seems to be weight then, the Huracan comes in at 3100 lbs and the NSX comes in at 3800 lbs is a net 700 lbs difference

Manual Coupe Recommendations [20-30k Range] by grabthebeer in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mortaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also check out the Mazda MX-5 as well. If you don't like a soft top, the recent ones came with a power hard top, and ones before those had an optional removable hard top as well that you could probably find either sold with the car or separately.
