Even if you're rich you should drive a toyota or a lexus. They are objectively better cars and will last forever with regular oil changes. Supercars are fun, but they probably wont even last 100k without expensive repairs and expensive parts. /biz/ needs to appreciate Toyota for the superior product that it is

This arguing about whose engineering is better is pointless.

The only german cars worth forking out money for are high performance variants. In order for them to be at their performance level, while also meeting emissions standards, the engines need to run HOT. This is unfortunate as it means you have more frequent maintenance intervals and potentially issues. That and because they drive so well, they encourage you to be an absolute asshole while driving because everyone else is always much slower and in the way. Personally I love it. And I always use my turn signal.

However, on the Japenese end of the spectrum, we have an extreme attention to detail on materials qualities, and Japanese products tend to be overengineered for their application, on top of keeping temps in check. This ensures that their parts are always operating in less stressful environments, however japanese sports cars tend to be much heavier and much slower. They're just not as rewarding to drive.

So, you will PAY for performance, or you buy a refrigerator. It kind of depends what you want in life. Stop arguing about stupid shit you fucking sperges.

Bought a dealer-demo Audi A4 in 2014. $30K. Put 15K down and had cheap payments but if I had to do it all over again I would have bought a cheaper car and just invested the difference. My car will be paid off in 12 months and I'll have it for another 5-7 years, but I'm definitely choosing a cheaper vehicle next time around.

Also, if you continue to save your car payments after they're done, you'll be able to afford a nice down payment on a car in the future and saves you interest.

heres my car. an e46 coupe.

i like it because normies shy away from it, because theyre too pussy to drop the subframe to change the oil pan gasket.

once the gaskets are changed, and the cooling system is done, this car is a reliable, comfy, based ride.

the steering and handling is so much better than a japanese cuckbox its a joke.

also anything made past 2011 is most likely absolute trash.

bmw inline 6's are redpilled. fuck your shitty camry's and civic's. if youre too much of a pussy to fix your own car, you deserve to drive one of those embarassingly hideous slavebox's.

also if you drive a VW you support hitler. and porshe's are the only non-poorfag tier german car thats actually nice for the most part.

I don't get why people buy $20,000 cars. I drive a mazda 3 with 100k+ miles. I haven't done one thing to it besides gas, oil, and brake pads. Any car made past 2010 lasts forever, I don't get the point of new cars.

I've also driven multiple friend's "luxury" cars and they are nice, but they are $100 nice, at best. Not $30,000+ holy shit I don't understand it at all. I have over $100k in the bank too. I could go out tomorrow and buy a brand new BMW or Audi or w/e but have literally 0 desire.

And I know some poor ass people up to their eyeballs in debt who have no business buying a new car and they are spending $20k+ on a fucking toyoda or other bland as fuck car because its "reliable." Makes no sense to me.

Just buy any car made in the last 10 years, it will need like no repairs. And keep it clean, then its more comfy than most dirty fuck's "luxury" cars. You are just an idiot if you are shelling out 5-10x the price for a new or "luxury" car unless you are actually fuck-you rich and it doesn't matter at all.
