- officeplant 4y agoGod I haven't seen one of these since around 2009. Completely forgot the auto board used to work these up.
- carabiner 4y agoIt's a really good guide.
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoThe older versions of this guide were way more "witty". The 4Runner would probably have had some quip about a roof top tent, balls in wife's purse. The Miata would have had the quintessential homosexual reference. The CTS would have had a joke about being a geriatric mfer. Stuff like that.
- mock-possum 4y agoOh 4chan
- throwawaymobule 4y agoThe design reminds me of logicalincrements before it became a website.
- lesuorac 4y agoDefinitely not what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be a bunch of generic advice. I've never tried this one but I've heard you should write that you're looking for a project car and that'll get people to tell you every little issue the car has.
- 1337biz 4y agoSurprisingly clear and balanced for a 4chan post. Would have expected a lot more detailed discussion.
- danlugo92 4y agoEverytime I ask someone who knows their way around cars, they recommend a Toyota. Why doesn't everyone just have a Toyota then? It's what every car guy I know recommends
- FrontierPsych 4y agoBecause there are a ton of ill-informed consumers, not just in regards to automobiles, but everything. There are only 4 cars that I ever shop for. Toyota Corrola, Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Honda Accord. It really makes it easy to shop, too. Only ask for those 4 cars. You're not just wandering aimlessly, ready for getting fleeced by an auto salesperson because you don't know what you want. And of course, there is also the guy with the little penis buyer, needing to buy a Ferrari or Porsche or whatever. The funny thing is, my Honda Civic is just as fast as a Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, or whatever. I go 25 miles per hour in the suburban streets, 35 on main arteries, and 65 on freeways. None of those supercars can go faster than my Honda. So why pay $500,000 for a supercar??? Little penis.
- lancesells 4y agoToyota owns Lexus. Maybe they can be included as well?
- cactacea 4y agoLexus is just a division of Toyota so yes.
- jnwatson 4y agoIt is kind of like asking an orthopedist about the best sport. They’d probably pick something boring like water aerobics. Reliability isn’t always the most important characteristic of a car, especially now that reliability across all brands is dramatically better than just 30 years ago.
- doubled112 4y agoI find most of them boring to drive, which is exactly what most people want. If you have to ask, you probably fall into this category. It's going to get me there. It's going to keep running. It's not going to leave me stranded someplace. I like adventure, so I keep buying 15 year old German cars. What code will it throw today? Will it start? Will it run? Will something important fall off? Why are there electronics burning in the dash?
- diarrhea 4y agoSeeing Rust as a con in a Hackernews post, never thought I’d see the day!
- jpeter 4y agoI would love something like this for germany

- EntrePrescott 4y agoNice, but unfortunately (for people outside the US) very narrowly centered on the US market… as the "American Edition" in the title already points to. Which makes me wonder: Is there also a European edition?
