I just had a colleague ask me my opinion on a few cars since she’s buying her daughter’s first car. Went through a few brands trying to get a sense of where her mind was, and as soon as I mentioned VW she said “oh, they’re owned by Mercedes and we had bad experiences with Mercedes years ago.”

What comically incorrect car things have your coworkers said to you about cars?

"I need a car that gets better MPG" - Then they go buy some overpriced car with a crazy high payment and get like 1 MPG better.

Oh man a bunch

1) Camaro > Mustang
2) Miatas are plenty fast
3) Civic SIs are cool
4) 911s are ugly

But all true at the same time. Ford> Chevy

Female 🐠 here. I always get a kick out of self-proclaimed car guys liking my S2000. They always think it’s cool I opted for the manual transmission. It’s apparently cool because they don’t know how to drive a manual and would opt for the automatic version.

It happens🤷🏻‍♀️. Not always a bad thing. I generally like car people. We all have our things.

Does anyone here follow Your Auto Advocate (renamed Your Advocate Alliance) on YouTube? Trying to learn how to negotiate to buy my first car. As if I wasn’t nervous enough to negotiate pricing before I’m even more so with 2022 market situation. Just wondering if anyone has used that channel or others similar to buy a car for an agreeable price these days

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?

Will be in the market for a car in a month or so - narrowed down to Mazda CX 50 Turbo but the BMW X3 is only around $5k more compared to the Mazda Turbo trim I liked. Torn between these 2, would really appreciate any advice/insight in making this decision in regards to longterm ownership, rate of depreciation and maintenance.

Feedback on this Alpine A110: don’t buy one for more than 40k€. Rather go for an F-Type, a Boxster or an M2.
