What kind of car do you like (Year/Make/Model) and why?

[asyed]

I always wanted to open this thread about cars (hopping there are some car lovers here on PP like me ).

I drive 2008 Honda Accord (Japan assembled). Absolutly love it's ride. Also happened to drive Corolla, Civic and City etc but nothing beats my ride .

Would love to hear about your ride and also which car (Year/Make/Model) do you like and why?

Nah [MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION], trust me, ride and pick of Honda is better than Corolla. I had a street race last Saturday on See view street where I beat guy barging about this Corolla.

The American Honda Accord was a hit amongst us during the teenager years. Especially the black coupe version. I remember many a drunk occasion pressing the accelerator in my friends car and it responding.
Very good practice car instead of the Corolla.

Don't know why but Corolla always looks like UNCLE type car to me. No offense [MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION]

So true. Also, I happened to drive none Japan assembled cars but I don't like them at all. It's hard to explain but I simply didn't like their ride.

Accord and any Corolla is not even a competition. Accord eats it for lunch and dinner and then some more.

I drive it out of lack of other option. Too cheap to buy my own car

Trust me I said the same to the guy (last weekend when had the street race) that bro there is no competition in between Accord and Corolla but the guy said, 'Aj ja beta, I'll show the competition', I was like sure dude, bring it on.

And what makes you think I'm driving my own :dalmiya.

Accord and Corolla aren't comparable.

Corolla is more comparable to Civic while Accord is probably in the same bracket as Camry.

Thats true, in North America at least. Accord and Camry are classified together as executive sedan and Corolla and Civic are classified as entry-level sedan or small sedan. No comparison in size, power, comfort and design.

I dont know about karachi but here in punjab we had a word for pre-2010 corollas - Khuta(Khotaaa) corolloas.

Because all the peeps from the pind buy them and all. I personally love the new corollas. Make me jelly with their awesome design.

On the other hand, city's last redesign was in 2010. Yeah, accord is amazing. Looks like a jahaz on the road.

Speaking of City, I think Honda should re-design it now. It's been long time.

 

[Syed1]

You're lucky man that you're in Canada. Don't you like Lexis IS or Auto A series instead of beamer?

Lexus IS although very pretty, costs almost as much as a Beamer and most people think of it as a knock-off of the Beamer due to how it is shaped.


I do not know about the Auto A series.. In case you mean Audi A4 then yes that is a good car but it is comprehensively beaten by both the BMW 3-series and the Mercedes C-Class. I personally do not like the C-Class at all, it is an old mans car shaped for the younger audience and just doesn't have the sporty feel of a Beamer.


Jaguar is coming out with a car in 2016-2017 that is aimed at breaking the monopoly of BMW/Merc/Audi in the sports sedan segment. The Jaguar XE from the reviews looks absolutely beautiful and probably has what it takes to rival the Germans.

City is getting a redesign in 2017 and civic is getting a redesign next year i think. Yeah, it was long due.

I just took a look at the 2015 Honda Accord and Ha Dayum! whattay beast.

Its very unfortunate but we are stuck with it, man.

These cars are expensive and overpriced af but we are tied. Like, you pay 25000$ in Pakistan to get a civic. I am sure you can get a used BMW in this price in canada.

Easily!! $25,000 will get you a Beamer that has only been driven for 2-3 years with less than 40K on it.


I heard Fiat was looking to enter the Pakistani market and also Volkswagen, don't know if it materialized or not

Pakistan needs to come out of this Honda/Toyota monopoly

Not really, I'm always surprised at how many Toyotas are featured in US tv shows, seems they are equally popular over there. I've owned Mercs, Renault, VW/Audi, Volvo, Nissan, Ford, Honda and a Toyota down the years and the only one I absolutely detested was the Ford. Jap and German manufactured cars are my preference. If you want more value for your money go for Japanese, if you are willing to pay more for some refined touches and the badge, then go for the German.

Dodge Charger 2013

 

[Nostalgic]

Currently I have a 2007 Accord EX-L V6. "Fully loaded," as it would be called in Pakistan, with everything except the navigation system. This is my commuter vehicle. I quite like it, because I've had it for five years now, owned it in three different states, and driven it cross-country twice. It's the perfect car for someone who appreciates reliability and comfort and isn't really "into" cars. It has the heated leather seats and powerful engine, which is all I need.

The family hauler is a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. It serves that purpose well.

However, if I could have any car I wanted, I would probably go for whatever the Tesla coupe is called.

For sentimental reasons though, I would always keep an Accord. There's a long story behind why first my parents, and then I, have always had at least one Accord. I'll share that story with you some day.

Maybe an Accord hybrid would be the better compromise. I have test-driven one from 2005. I'm not sure if they still make it though.

Get a Tesla SUV (Model X) and keep your Accord

I have the 2008 Accord EX-L 2.4L.. does your rpm drop with a jerk if you let off the pedal when the rpm needle is between 1 and 2? I've been having that issue, even got a full transmission fluid change, didn't seem to fix it.. The desi mechanic uncle was like "Yeh tou Accord ka standard feature hai"

I'll try it out and let you know. How many miles do you have on it? Or kilometers since you're in Canada. I gave my previous Accord to my parents and they're noticing issues now that it is beyond 175,000 miles.

One thing I've always been strict with is obeying the maintenance minder, and getting whatever service it recommends.

To be honest man, the latest sporty shape of Lexus IS is more appealing to me compare to Beamer.

As for Audi, I was referring to A4 and A6 and I like them because of their turbo engine, dual clutch transmission, good re-sale value and of course it's sleek shape.

Nope not Japanese assembled..

no the VW Golf GTI...it's a great car, fast, small, turbo, and a hatch. Perfect as a daily driver and for a single dude.

I've been speaking with dealers to see if I can get a good deal on the BMW M4...financing options in the US aren't bad at all. But the M4 would have to be strictly a summer car. It's pricey as hell though...but so damn sexy

Like as I said, I've driven both Japanese and None Japanese assembled assembled cars of Accord here in Karachi and felt the difference.
