What is your favorite car ?

Just bought the Suzuki Ignis, a mild hybrid. Have to wait until December, but it will be my favorite car real quick.

Second generation Audi R8

I was lucky enough to own that alongside the Shelby GT350 for a short while, but ended up selling the GT350 within a year of getting the R8 since I have no need for two sports cars. I need a practical vehicle, so I got a Macan Turbo. If I could’ve afforded a Lamborghini Huracán I would’ve gotten that, but I couldn’t, so I got the next best thing and I love it. For anyone unaware, since VW owns Audi and Lamborghini, the R8 and Huracán share the same chassis, and a whole bunch more parts. Mine is a base V10 (not a V10+), so it has a different transmission than the Huracán, but the engine is the same.

I’m FINALLY going to be able to take the R8 to the track to see what it can do. That’s why I bought it four years ago, and it’s what I did numerous times with the GT350, which aside from overheating issues was fantastic in its handling. I hope the R8 doesn’t disappoint.

The Ford Mondeo st200 wagon from around 99-00, pretty small and light by todays standard but still decently roomy on the inside and then theres the engine, that 2.5 v6 is an absolute peach and the closest any carmaker has come to the legendary Busso v6 from Alfa Romeo. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/aa015ee8-14b3-4fd3-a847-9f1656925e31.jpeg

Don’t know if it really is the favourite one since I like a lot of cars but the Alpine A110 is definitely close to the top. It just embodies everything that I think a car should aim to be. Light, inexpensive, great handling, good looking. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.j91sHG-b1uNJZQtvdJyajQHaFM%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=930e79606e1e93f9b0f00914a61191a910401c84469aea9e7eace3eb7cca6709&ipo=images

Fiat 124 coupe.

Uh, Miata is always the answer!!

Honestly, as a daily is really is the best thing out there for me. I honestly can’t think of anything bad to say about the ND.

Favorite car is still the first gen RX7. Every time I think about selling mine I go for a drive and remember why I can’t. It just does everything so wrong but so right, even at a whopping 89rwhp.

Agreed on the Miata! I had a '19 GTS that I bought new. Sold it a while ago and bought a really clean '94 when my employer went fully remote and I’ve always wanted an NA.

Pagani Huayra, theres something outerworldy in having adaptive aerodynamics (air brakes) on the hood were they can be seen while driving.

I fell in love with that car the moment I saw it. The two-tone versions with the carbon fibre exposed are chef’s kiss

Call me a weeb if you want but my favourite is still the AE86, but honestly I like most 80s/90s cars. I prefer the boxy look over the bubbly 2000s look and most cars after the turn of the century are just bland.

Those AE86 Truenos are cool as hell, and I’ve never seen the anime

For me I am really happy with my Subaru Ascent as my daily driver. But my dream car is either an Aston Martin DB 12 or Porsche GT 3RS.

fratermus , 10 months ago

I have owned many vehicles over the decades. The only one I truly loved was a 1972 standard beetle.

A 2009 W211! E280D. Gorgeous design that’s stood the test of time. I still have it and it drives amazing

90s rap fostered my love for the Range Rover and Escalade (although I’d never buy either unless they were electric)

Robertej92 , 10 months ago

My dream car has been the Jaguar XK8 for a solid 20 years, my understanding is that they’re about as reliable as an all electric Renault but 10 year old me was more focused on the beauty and so is 30 year d me.
