I have $10,000 AUD to spend on a car (that's $7675 for you American Anons)
It can't be a V8 or too powerful for legal reasons
I like cars that look sporty and medium - small sized
Any suggestions?
Pic related but probably not available for the money I've got, not even sure if it's legal. Hopefully it gives you a good idea of the things I like anyway.
It's a bit too old for my taste, I'm quite young and I'd like a car that somewhat reflects that
Here's essentially what I drive at the moment but it has heavy hail damage and Dad wants it back to train my siblings on how to drive.

I forgot to mention, it needs at least 4 seats, preferably (much more preferably) 5

You can't buy a v8? Do you live in fagsville?

Subaru impreza?
Benjamin Jackson
What kind of legal reasons can you not have a v8 wut
Nathaniel Hughes
Cause I'm young and where I live they don't trust young people with nice cars
Easton Long
Honda S2000 lad.
Connor Jenkins
Well, with 10k you can basically buy two Miatas.
RX-8 is pretty fun car too, its just not reliable.

Just buy a good quality toyota corolla. They are good looking unassuming people movers. Stupid faggots and bogans spend money on second hand cars. Anything more than a 4 cylinder and your officially a wanker

get a n/a skyline or silvia then turbo it when you are off your Ps or an rx8
Samuel Reyes
They're good at their job but why not get something that you can be proud of?
Oliver Long
Why have a shit car with shit mods when you can get a good car for the same price?
Levi Young
Sedan mazda 6 or hatch 3

Well they're fucking expensive and it's a symbol of growing up and power, of course I would be proud of it

I bet you're the sort of fuckwit who thinks doing doughnuts in an abandoned construction site is a great way to spend your time.
Because you're
Jacob Adams
Go hot(ish) hatch Golf, Polo, maybe a newer Corolla or Mazda3 Not too sporty, but nippy nonetheless
Asher Allen
>7k USD >Sporty >Seats 5
So you post a picture of a new GT 86, which has almost no room in the back, with a price tag at 24k USD. You have no idea about cars man, just get a fucking old Carolla or a civic.
Mason Gomez
Well the thing is I come from a reasonably wealthy family so it's not actually my money.
Dad told me a few days ago that he would give me $10,000 to buy a car so I don't really have the option of saving it up.
Grayson Phillips
Ausfag probationary licenses mean 130kW/t power limits for vehicles
Ethan Ramirez
Got a GT86. Trust me. Find the money. Live sideways.
Ayden Johnson
Here for over 10 years, this pic triggers the fuck out of me.
Noah Rogers
I said I don't know much about cars, I just really like the 86 series because it looks sporty and it's not unreasonably priced (as in the average person could save up for it with a bit of effort), I didn't consider that 5 seats would be a requirement until after I started the thread
Nathaniel Perez
its reliable as fuck, people dont know hot to treat them and they get treated like horse shit
Adam Thompson
Meh, stand by my claim. Impress your dad by not spending all his cash. 5K to 6K on a good second hand corolla
Also, these cars are nice
Isaiah Thompson
I dont know if you can get it in Aus. Mate but the Fiat Punto evo is agood car.
Andrew Martin
That's put a GT86 close to the line, 200hp and ~1300kg i think?
Henry Brooks
If you don't know about cars, and you don't work on them regularly, don't buy a sports car. You'll spend way more having someone else fixing it when you break something. Get a car that is reliable that you don't care about and can run in to the ground.
Joseph Anderson
would've said focus rs or focus st, but 1. I dunno if they are available in Aus and 2. if is right, the rs wont be an option as it is too juicey
Robert Sanders

Benjamin Phillips
Alfa Romeo 147 1.9JTD Q2 - 150HP Light, fast, cheap parts, awesome car With a little money can be tuned 200hp+
Christopher Peterson
I don't want a sports car necessarily, just something that resembles one
Connor Perry
if you dont know shit about cars, get a corolla or some basic shit. owning any turbo or car that needs attention should stay out of your hands
Gabriel Powell
In what fucking shithole do you live so that you can't own a V8?
>Hyundai
Jaxson Allen
non è la macchina più fighetta di sempre, è una buona macchina, col modello da 95cv ci si può divertire
not the nicest car ever, just a good car, with the 95cv model you can have fun (and fiat engines are just the best so 95cv here is like 150cv on another brand)
Aiden Taylor
It's called Australia, the whole country is very focused on ensuring that you are kept safe at all times and definitely do not have any fun
Ora sto guidando una fiorino brasiliana del 2007 e non mi da problemi
Ayden Davis
not so much advice about WHICH car, but finding cheap cars (imho the best cars - because when you fuck them up its no big deal) not sure how it works in australia, but i've purchased dozens of cars at various types of auctions. bottom of the barrel police auctions up to higher end repo auctions. you wont be finding any ferraris for a dollar but the generally the good cars sell for about 2/3 of their listed value... i guarantee with your 7k usd i could find a decent mercedes...
Ian Long
The 86/BRZ (FRS) is under the limit I think, I see P platers in them all the time, but yeah, still a little over OP's budget unless he's buying used
RS is a nogo, but I think some of the ST models come in just under 130, if you could pick up a clean used one you'd have a pretty nice set of wheels
Daniel Morales
This - a hundred times over. If you've got no desire to learn how to maintain your car, keep it simple.
Ayden Cook
THIS. "i just wanted a sporty car"
Leo Cook
Get a minivan and squint when ya look at it fag
Hunter Ramirez
more like CLK 270/320 more robust
Wyatt Anderson

Wyatt Richardson
I used to think this.
Years of working on rotaries later and I don't believe a consumer engine should require the levels of care and maintenance the RX-8 does.
Plus I've never seen rust like it on a relatively new car, the bolts are always shearing and snapping all over the vehicle.
Mazda have now said to all intents and purposes that the rotary engine is dead and they were the only people really prepared to put the R&D funding behind them, so rotary for now is a dead concept in practice, if not in principle.
As a support engine for electric vehicles there is a lot to be said but I don't see the R&D necessary for a properly reliable rotary platform being done in the next 10 years, by which time something else will have been developed and latched onto by the big companies anyway.....
Isaac Gray
Barring, of course, the myriad of deadly snakes and spiders
Evan Clark
get a non turbo toyota mr2 sw20, nissan skyline etc etc.
Christopher Perry
Kek lost it
Luis Davis
>shooting up schools is fun yeah we don't like that over here.
keep your shit hole country to yourself you dumb americunts.
Elijah Peterson
To be fair, you could get plenty of amerifag v8's and still be well under 130kw/t...
Oliver Perez
Exactly. I have seen so many under 100k km driven ones that has engine swap or complete rebuild.
Angel Jones
i own an rx8, and its not hard to maintain, but procedures need to be done every drive to keep it healthy. and no you dont need a fucking rebuild at 80k.
Luis Butler
lol I'm from Australia
I'd also rather be running from snakes than kids with assault rifles but I feel that they take it a bit too far sometimes in Australia
Kevin Williams
If you can afford a $100 000+ car and the maintenance expenses of such a car, you have all the reason to be proud of what you achieve and show off
If you are OP and you have not more than $7500 to buy a car there is nothing to be proud of . A sport car at this cost will be a black hole into which you will pouring too much money
Sebastian Cruz
Subaru Forester XT/GT. Cops don't look at them and they go hard. I think at least some of them are P plate legal. Also you can chuck the seats down in the back and smash sloots.
Anthony Thompson
Only took me two... we all learn, some the hard way
Joseph Morgan
get a volkswagen sedan.. jetta, golf, passat, etc.. they are reliable and you can get a good used one with low miles for around the amount you have. or maybe a subaru .. if you want something with AWD. if i had 10k, personally i'd get a truck, like a nice toyota or a diesel if i could find one cheap enough, but if you want a car, then VW or subaru imo.
Angel Murphy
>can't own a v8
No reason to live
Dominic Rivera
maybe for you who has no idea what a piece of shit is and whats a good car.
fuck off reject.
OP you should be asking this on /o/ and not Sup Forums
Asher Powell
Rotaries are not reliable. They have never been reliable. Ever. It's just the design, there's no way around it.
Fuck sporty, get a D21 and have something that'll outlast your kids.

XTs are quick i'd get one and lower the fuck out of it to make it look like a wagon
Noah Butler
Get a civic or an accord.
Jordan Collins
>Motor vehicle inspector Says it off fuck off cunt you guys ruin the car scene thinking you're helping people out, youre a gimp for the government no wonder you sound depressed and don't know what it's like to own something youre proud of.

I got an 08 corolla with 120k miles on it sports edition for like 7.5k.
Ryder Roberts
mazda mx5 or suzuki swift s pack.
excellent fun, cheap on juice and cheap on rego.
plus the mx5 is a soft top coupe so its basically guaranteed to get you laid. unless you're neck-bearded-hamplanet
