I enjoy my small shitbox (2007 KIA Rio5 hatchback) and wish I had a smaller shitbox to commute in

One of the biggest perks is the fact that my little shitbox is FIXABLE by sane people with standard tools! No special tools, parts are literally everywhere, and all the parts are DIRT CHEAP. The engine is in Hyundais and KIAs from 1989 to 2011. If it's a 1.6L 4 cylinder made by those 2 companies it's the same engine between ALL OF THEM.

EDIT: The biggest difference is the exhaust routing. The midpipe on the Hyundais is straight, the KIAs it's got a bump.

I saw a 1980s Honda Civic on the road the other day and it made me so happy. I don't even love that model — the Prelude was the better small car, but I loved the Accord. Still, seeing something from the mid-to-late 1980s (I think they all got a little chonkier in 1988, so this would have been older than that) made me smile. Those cars were good on gas, too.

I hate them, I miss med-hatches and saloons. But they are hard to get hold of now, it feels like its the middle between tiny streetcars or ugly ute/wagons. I have even considered an estate car recently.

The days of flying around feeling like you were in a superpowered go cart so close to the ground

Sooo... Minivans?

Yeah around here the little 90s car would look even more out of place since most people are driving lifted pickups that they are too out of shape to even lift anything into to haul. Guess what country I live in! :D

Meanwhile me back in University:

Not with those crash safety test results. I’ll take a modern sedan if I’m going to have a car

When I was a kid, me and some buddies went to a monster truck show. We all were desperate to drive one someday.
Well, I guess that day has come for most of us but me. I hate them now.

Here just aren't any smaller cars to purchase anymore, there are a few french ones but thats basically it. Like please make decent sized cars that drive electric.

I have a company car that I drive privately too. It's more of a lifted station than an SUV need the space for the kids.

It's just weird to me how people that don't need all of that actually buy huge cars. As soon as I am able I'll go back to small and low. Range rovers per example are just crazy, and everyone where I come from drives one.

It is so hard to tell how big those american cars are, because all the other cars around them are huge too, so everything is in proportion.

This really puts in perspective though. Seriously WTF

Please make minivans cool again so I can be cool.

As a full time walker and bicyclist, what I have learned is that virtually no one is up to the responsibilities of operating a car or truck. Humans do not deserve to drive, and the sheer volume of traffic accident deaths every year is a reminder of that (let alone the far greater volume of traffic related animal deaths).

Im in love with cars in Bud Spencer movies. Small, neat. The Beatle and Bully of VW. So cute and compact
