Hey everyone!

The car community on Lemmy isn’t the most active and I thought it would be nice to list the cars of its members.

Here is my list:

Present: Seat Leon Cupra 300 St 4 drive

Past: Audi S4 B6 Avant manual, Seat Ibiza Cupra

I was really happy with the 4.2 liters V8 in my S4, but the Cupra gives me more performance, more practicality and is cheaper to run. Would have loved a manual version if you could get it with fake AWD.

I plan on keeping the Leon Cupra for another 10 years before switching to an EV Estate if they appear one day.

What’s your list?

How happy are you about the Mach-E GT?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's a nice car. Scary to use more than half of the "go" pedal.

If I were buying again, I'd get the extended range RWD model instead.

Overall very happy, but I bought it used and let someone else take the $30k hit on 2 years of depreciation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks for the answer👍

A Ioniq 5N might tempt me one day, but I’m really looking forward to more Wagon EV’s.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

My first car was a Golf 3 Cabrio then a BMW 316ti E46 Compact and lastly a leased modern Audi A3.

After I gave my last car back I haven't bothered with one and don't have one since 2022.

Model year ascending:
1989 Volvo 240
1995 Toyota Camry
2001 Subaru Forester
2001 Toyota Echo (MT)
2001 Honda Insight (MT) 2010 Hyundai Accent
2014 Ford Fiesta (MT)
2016 Hyundai Veloster (MT)

My ford did me real dirty (blown head gasket@51,988 miles) so I decided to start learning more than basics. The Subaru is my current daily driver, but the past couple weeks have been so stupid cold that I'm starting to think there's ice in my tank, or the fuel pump is going out, or one of the old fuel hoses has cracked. AT hoses got all fucky last winter so they got swapped. Frickin cold hoses man.

How was the FJ? I think about getting one every time I see one on the road.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I loved it but it’s 15-21mpg at best!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Oh that hurts. My 2014 Corvette gets 25mpg average unless I'm on the track.

Would love to see a picture of your talon if you have one to share!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don’t, unfortunately. I left it pretty stock besides the Eibach lower springs (can’t remember if it was an inch or what) and slightly bigger exhaust because of the turbo and the muffler changed.

It was red with the black top and fin spoiler, not the raised one like the TSi had.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sounds beautiful! I had a similar year Eclipse. I loved it but always swooned at the Talons.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s funny. I wanted an Eclipse. 🤣

2nd gens were sexy cars!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Absolutely! And then ruined.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

1st car -Chevy Corsica (total junk but I loved it) 2nd car - Toyota Matrix (OK) 3rd car - Subaru WRX (love it)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My first car was a 2009 Nissan Sentra, my current is a 2017 Fiat Spider Abarth. Loved both cars for different reasons. I hope to upgrade to a used manual 2023+ Supra one day, but that's just my current dream as it's not really financially wise.

I've also got a 2013 Suzuki gladius, I have a knack for picking good vehicles with poor customer reception

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

2003 Toyota Prius (passed down through the family, finally gave up the ghost)

2015 Toyota Yaris (still have a special place in my heart for this but I ended up selling it)

1993 Chevy K1500 (learned manual on this, still drive it!)

2023 GR Corolla

Edit: not sure if this counts as a car but I've recently acquired a 1986(?) Honda Fourtrax 350!

Prelude takes me back. My dad had an '89 I think, gray with red interior. If I ever strike it big, I'm gonna buy one and restore it for him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I had it back in 2005, so it had a few years on it when I owned it, but I still miss that car; it was a lot of fun and wish I owned it longer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty jealous of the last two. The Lexus and the Audi are kind of dreamcars, but not the bills related😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Ya, the rcf had a super charger kit on it (638whp, absolute POS, luckily only bolt on) that i ended up removomg bc it was so much of a hassle and left me stranded a lot (i was one of the performance companys test cars) . Combo of where i live and a poorly designed system. I just had the audi tuned last year to 700whp. No longer have the rcf.
