Simple answer is the Civic doesn't interest me. And I've no interest in modding my daily driver, at least not right away, if ever. I will say this though, if the new Prius has driving dynamics like the Civic Si and still get 50+ MPG overall, I think Toyota will have a real winner on their...
Thanks everyone for your responses. Where to start from here...
The car in question would be the newly debuted 2023 Toyota Prius with 196HP/AWD. Alternatively I'd be looking at the most recent Mazda 3 hatchback with AWD and without the turbocharged engine.
Either one of those two, or a S650...
Earlier today I got a chance to drive both a Porsche 992 GT3 and a Mercedes AMG GT R for a few laps each at SpeedVegas/Exotics Racing. It was my first time ever driving on a track. On the one hand I liked finally experiencing what it's like to go all-out (as much as a newcomer can, anyways) on...
Hack and OppoLock, thank you for your replies to my questions. Even if my driving is limited to the streets, I think I have a better understanding now of handling/steering feel than I did previously.
I guess my next question would be...what parts of handling and steering feel are subjective, and which parts are based on factual data? (For reference, I daily drive my EcoBoost with Sport steering. I tried driving on Normal a few days ago and it felt too light in my mind taking a sharp turn.)
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for a sedan/sportback take on a Mustang. :headbang: (They don't even have to call it a Mustang and I'd still strongly consider getting one.)
That's my vibitude.
Guess I'm the only one who unironically likes the Dark Horse name, despite unintentionally almost spelling it as "Dark House" on my phone numerous times.
Besides using past names, what would've been a better name in everyone else's minds?
I may not understand all the technicalities and terminologies associated with engaging handling/driving, but I think that explains at least a little bit why the S550 GTs I've had the opportunity to test drive aren't as engaging on the turns as my EcoBoost feels like it is. I guess if I were to...
1. What awful steering habits does the current GT have?
2. Price and complete lack of track ambitions aside, I'd consider a Dark Horse if it weren't for the gray parts underneath the headlights. That's the one design element that just about ruins it for me. 😕
Sorry for reviving this out of nowhere, but I had a thought. I read on another thread that the Dark Horse should have better handling than the GT. That got me thinking, is a square or staggered tire/wheel setup better for a handling-focused vehicle?
Forgive my obliviousness, but I see nothing wrong with it. It looks better than the rest of the 2-series at the moment, and infinitely better than any of what the 7-series has to offer (both sedan and SUV).
I just noticed the reverse light is no longer incandescent. :rockon:
I would not want to be the driver in this situation, no matter how nice the car was or sounded.
Right now I'm leaning towards the automatic since I already have experience with it in the EcoBoost. We'll see what the next few years bring as far as car experiences go.
Do I need to press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor to properly engage/disengage the clutch? (I've never driven clutch regularly and it's been almost 20 years since I last tried to learn properly how to do so.)
