NICE, fun, adult, family car

Post by DCIV »

Something you would do full road trips in with 4 people and stuff. Something that you can drive without worrying about whatever road you are on. Something you can also have fun driving.

Can be used but less than 30k miles
Can be 40k

Must be fun and be a car.

Bonus points for under 30k cost.

I just feel like this checks a lot of our boxes and am curious what you would pick.

I’ll start it out with this.

'Car'? Meaning 'not an SUV'?

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

Fun is subjective. So what do you mean by fun?

Stinger GT would definitely be very high on the list if not at the top. Maybe a VW GTI or a Alfa Romeo Giulia if I want to go that route. And of course a Volvo V60 ;)

It is. I just mean a Honda Accord isn’t fun. It’s nice, dependable, options....but it doesn’t give me a smile when I want to hop on the interstate at 150mph (example, not rule)

Not suv. There are some new fun SUV’s out there. The explorer st, the hellcat grand Cherokee, and some others...but I just think car is a good starting point.

Accord 2.0T is actually quite fun to drive :d ontknow:

I'm with Frode though a Stinger GT lightly used is probably the best all around option. Everything else could bankrupt you after the warranty runs out.

Hell most Subaru would tick those boxes, but again depends on what you want to do for fun.

You know, sometimes I forget Honda did add a turbo to their line ups. Maybe I’ve over looked them.

It comes down to this. I look at it like this. If I need to run into town, even though I LOVE our new Tahoe, I’m not taking it. Im taking the escape. Nimble fun but still not as fun as a car but damn more fun than a 4 door jeep. That’s just gross.

Add in the price, the horrible ride, the gas mileage, the reliability....they look great. That’s it. Not a fun car.

Again, fun is subjective. I had fun daily driving my wrangler with the top and doors off.

Only reason I got rid of it was reliability issues.

Family car....road trips....none of which fit this. A raptor would be a better option than a jeep. lol.

4 door jeep would. Don't get me wrong, I will never recommend a jeep to anyone I like.
