GWmythicalHyperREEEE Coupe SUV's GWmythicalHyperREEEE

warm sparrow
#

SUVs ๐Ÿคข

stoic ledge
#

True, but "Coupe" SUVs are even more ๐Ÿคข

night current
#

I think the Model X is cool...

stoic ledge
#

It just looks odd from the rear, front looks good in specific colours/wheels

#

(that's my opinion, mileage may vary)

jovial mauve
#

I agree, my mom has a glc coupe and its just ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ

stoic ledge
#

Aaargh but why

#

It's just hideous

#

Uglier, more expensive and unpractical

jovial mauve
#

Yes

#

Yes

#

And

#

Yes

#

But hey at least its pretty quick

stoic ledge
#

The non-Coupรฉ is just as fast ๐Ÿ˜‰

jovial mauve
#

Actually no

#

The normal glc 43 4.9 0 60

#

The coupe 4.6 0 60

stoic ledge
#

Ah it's a AMG

#

The "normal" 250d is the same

jovial mauve
#

Oh that would be possible idk

stoic ledge
#

Yeah I checked

#

Didn't expect her to drive an AMG ๐Ÿ˜›

jovial mauve
#

Haha yeah she has it from work

#

She doesnt even drive it often, she drives a nissan micra most of the time lmao

#

Im saving up for a amg aswell

stoic ledge
#

GWsoraeThenkung Why drive a Micra when you've got an AMG GWsoraeThenkung

jovial mauve
#

She doesnt like it because its big and tbh you cant see shit

#

Because coupe

stoic ledge
#

^^ but ofc

jovial mauve
#

Idk the inside is like a tank

#

You have no rear vieuw, b pillars the size of the eifel tower

#

And woman ej

stoic ledge
#

But it's more stylish ^^ ~MB

jovial mauve
#

Haha

#

Yeah i rememberd when me and aome friends went on an trip and we wanted to take the glc

#

Big offroad coupe with ao much spacw MB

#

We could fit like 2,5 suitcases lmao

#

I can fit more in my golf

stoic ledge
#

Hehe yeah classic

#

Those Coupe-SUVs are horrible, enormous cars on the outside but small on the inside

#

Just useless

jovial mauve
#

Yup

#

I mean my a class doesnt fit alot aswell but its a small hatcback so i forgive it

#

Still less then the golf

stoic ledge
#

New A-Class has a is larger

jovial mauve
#

True but i have a 2017

stoic ledge
#

Still not really big, but it's "premium" so you pay more for less space ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

Yes I've seen the pics ๐Ÿ˜›

jovial mauve
#

Its because of the dumb rare lights

stoic ledge
#

I know, really small opening

jovial mauve
#

But company car so eh

stoic ledge
#

So /care ๐Ÿ˜›

jovial mauve
#

My dad has a volvo i swear you could fit like whole ikea in there

stoic ledge
#

I think that's a requirement Volvo made for their cars

#

Last gen V60 was meh tho space wise, new one is GWloopyGok

jovial mauve
#

Yeah th thing is, i like how they look but they drive amazing but boring if that makes sense

stoic ledge
#

Well my experience with them is that they are very comfortable but not really fun/exciting to drive

jovial mauve
#

Yeah my point

#

And he has a v90 wich is huge but only a 4 cilinder like rly

stoic ledge
#

All new Volvo's are 4 cylinders

jovial mauve
#

Yes

stoic ledge
#

No T8? :p

jovial mauve
#

No haha

stoic ledge
jovial mauve
#

Its a d5

#

Not so long ago he test drove a xc90 t8 but it ended up back at the dealer

stoic ledge
#

Why ?

#

XC90 T8 is atm cheaper then both the T5 and D5 XC90 ๐Ÿ˜›

jovial mauve
#

I think it was because they did not want to give a reasonble price for the v90

#

Because diesels are not wanted haha

stoic ledge
#

Yup very true

jovial mauve
#

So idk what there doing, apperantly the glc is gonna be gone in 4 months

stoic ledge
#

stoic ledge
#

jovial mauve

#

Even my mom doesn't like driving it, and she normally doesn't care about cars

#

Sounds tinny af

jovial mauve
#

hahahahhahahahah

#

yeah and it doesnt move at all

stoic ledge
#

It feels a lot faster to drive than my car

#

Mostly because a) no rev counter, b) no sound insulation c) Just going flat out because it's not mine

vital glen
#

stoic ledge
#

Focus Pickup >

#

Whot

#

Ieuw Brazilian Ford's,, they don't sell well here

jovial mauve
#

Nothing sells well here lmao

#

Nothing ?

#

#

3.28% Polo, 2.69% Clio, 2.46% Picanto, 2.44% Fiesta, 2.27% Karl

jovial mauve
#

#

Autoweek did have a nice article about that

jovial mauve

2 Volkswagen Golf 22.163

10 Peugeot 405 12.175```
#

That was 1989

#

1 B-segment, 7 C-segment, 2 D-segment

jovial mauve
#

sierra lol havtn seen one of those in a while

stoic ledge
#

Yeah most of those cars aren't around anymore

jovial mauve
#

true

stoic ledge
#

Only some 205's Golf's and Kadett's/Astra's can be found from that era

#

Most others are extinct

jovial mauve
#

yeah i think soon we can only buy electric cars

stoic ledge
#

Pls no

jovial mauve
#

there working on that right

stoic ledge
#

We don't have the electicity

#

Imagine 5 milion cars pluging in at 18h

#
  • everybody cooking electric at 18h
#

Heat pump starting around that time

#

Yeah we're not gonna have enough power

vital glen
#

@stoic ledge LMAO, and for the 10th week in the row there have been reported poweroutages all over the country

stoic ledge
#

^^ that's exactly what I mean

#

We do have solar panels, but that's a) not enough for an electric car, and b) will only produce power during the day

#

So we still need nuclear power, or coal

#

Which is still bad

#

So we're just moving the problem

stoic ledge
#

Last week a buddy's Audi was stolen, turns out they found it

rain inlet
#

I want a car like that! D:

#

That isn't wrecked at least

stoic ledge
#

I was just going to say, you can probably buy this one soon ๐Ÿ˜›

#

It's just worthless

#

It was a 3.2 VR6 Quattro

#

It was stolen, used for some kind of robbery and then set on fire

odd talon
#

Sad, because the MK1 TT is a pretty car

#

and the 3.2 VR6 was used everywhere

#

pretty reliable

But I kind of want those drivetrain parts...

stoic ledge
#

It looks like the engine hasn't been on fire...

#

But it has been soaked in water

shadow widget
#

I really, really want a d2 a8/s8 audi for some reason...

odd talon
#

@shadow widget hey did you see the 6 speed swapped one on BaT?

#

That was nuts

shadow widget
#

not sure, but I've heard many have done it

#

too bad there aren't many in Canada

odd talon
#

import

#

isn't US to CAN easy?

#

its more than 15 y/o

shadow widget
#

Probably

#

Is importing from Europe expensive?

odd talon
#

???

#

why would you do that

#

just get one from the states

#

its more troublesome yes

shadow widget
#

Before I settled on an a8, I was trying to find a 1993 s4, but there's basically none existing any where in North America

odd talon
#

don't get that

#

get something with CAN and OBDII at least

#

honestly, consider why you want these cars too

#

because even a mk7 golf 1.8t is better than many of these cars

shadow widget
#

might just get a b5 s4 then, they are common and somewhat cheap

odd talon
#

@shadow widget Reconsider

#

The 2.7tt isn't exactly reliable

#

and its not like they make huge amounts of power

#

if you can afford a mk7 gti, strongly consider that instead

#

(ps the gti is faster and safer)

shadow widget
#

hb the i-4 the a4 comes with? Ive seen a lot of people working with them

odd talon
#

okay so there's the 1.8t, the 2.8l vr6, and the 2.7tt

shadow widget
#

Ik but I can't stand the looks of the newer golfs

odd talon
#

try to like it

shadow widget
#

lol

odd talon
#

the older 1.8t is OKAY but you have to replace the plaster impeller with a metal one

shadow widget
#

the only vw cars I like are the mk2 golf and the phaeton

odd talon
#

have a 4.2l phaeton

#

its okay

shadow widget
#

okay?

odd talon
#

yeah its okay

shadow widget
#

What do you not like about it?

odd talon
#

ownership experience is a bit challenging since parts are rare

shadow widget
#

ohhh

odd talon
#

and everything, i mean everything has to come from dresden, germany

#

owned it for over a decade

shadow widget
#

how reliable is it?

odd talon
#

the engine - FINE

#

transmission is not so great

#

remember, this was released in 2003

#

high-ish hp, with a new 6 speed gearbox

#

YIKES

shadow widget
#

yeah its pretty old now

odd talon
#

the age isn't the issue

#

its the technology

#

its just dated

shadow widget
#

it has some old infotainment system im guessing?

odd talon
#

yeah, but i don't really care about it

#

i'm not looking at it while driving

#

what's your budget for your car?

#

if you have a strict budget walk away from old VAG

shadow widget
#

idk Ill start with small, under 8k maybe

#

yeah, honda or toyota if I want it to last long

odd talon
#

i'm going to give you the worst advice possible

#

actually its not too stupid

#

get a 2007+ Mercedes whatever with a 3.5L V6

shadow widget
#

e60 m5 is the most reliable car ever

odd talon
#

no not that

#

if you have 8k, the mercedes isn't a bad option

#

another option, the bmw 328i

#

do not get an s4

#

you can't afford the upkeep

#

i'm not saying this to make you feel bad, but to help you

shadow widget
#

starts crying

odd talon
#

unless you can do all the work yourself and get a deal on parts

#

its a bad idea

shadow widget
#

There's still something in me that wants an awd audi

odd talon
#

don't we all

#

stick or auto?

shadow widget
#

stick please

odd talon
#

get a bmw 328xi in stick

#

2007+

#

it'll be way more reliable

#

try out the 7 speed mercedes gearbox

shadow widget
#

also I live in an apartment here so working on the car is basically impossible...

odd talon
#

okay

#

if you have to go german

#

get the mercedes

#

the v6 and the 7 speed is reliable

shadow widget
#

maan, if only the cars I wanted were cheap and reliable...

#

Ill just get a honda beater and wait till I have a place to work on cars in I guess

odd talon
#

@shadow widget If you want the quattro experience but cheaper look at the 2006-2011 VW Passat 3.6L

#

but the 09G trans in that sucks

#

you'll want to swap it for a manual of some sort

#

another bad idea but sort of okay option is an older porsche cayenne vr6 with the manual

#

decently reliable

shadow widget
#

I like the Passat idea

shadow osprey
#

I have an A4 quattro

#

It's garbage

That's cause it's diesel...

shadow osprey
#

Did I say there was a problem with diesel engines?

stoic ledge
#

VAG diesel's aren't always reliable ๐Ÿ˜›

#

@hexed arrow what restrictions ?

hexed arrow
#

For the first two years of having a driver's licence new drivers will have;
Separate lower speed limits
Nighttime curfew
Won't be able to carry over 1 passenger (unless immediate family)
Won't be able to drive cars which have over X bhp.

#

@stoic ledge ^

#

Rip my job if that goes through

#

It's called 'graduated driving licences for new drivers'

stoic ledge
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

That's funny

#

Pretty sure it won't comply for drivers who already have their license now

shadow osprey
#

the curfew and passenger are already a part of US law

#

the speed limit and hp is stupid though

hexed arrow
#

And they want to introduce a minimum amount of hours with a driving instructor before you can even take the test (40 hours I think [40h*ยฃ20 = ยฃ800 of lessons])

#

I passed with 10, I'd be throwing away ยฃ600

shadow osprey
#

We also have 40-50 hours of driving practice mandatory, but that's part of your permit, and it's with an adult instead of an instructor

stoic ledge
#

I passed with 30, and that's considered really low (most have 40-50-60 hours)

#

And that's with an instructor

shadow osprey
#

The only thing you need for instructor shit in the US is a certified course, which is usually like 2 hours for 5 days in a row

stoic ledge
#

I had the advantage to already knew how to drive/brake/shift/indicate/.... Before I started

hexed arrow
#

I did 10 with a paid instructor and drove to work with L plates (which won't count)

shadow osprey
#

learning how to turn on your blinker does not count as an accomplishment

#

Does your country not have a learners permit, or something equivalent to a provisional license?

hexed arrow
#

I played alot of driving Sims and racing simulators so that was a massive headstart

shadow osprey
#

I still do, 7 years later shroud4Head

hexed arrow
#

Yup a provisional license

shadow osprey
#

Well, technically the US has a permit and also a provisional period of up to 2 years after getting your license license

hexed arrow
#

Only hours with certified instructors will count towards the amount you need for the minimum though

#

Which is just a money scam

shadow osprey
#

That doesn't really make sense to me... there's only one thing I ever remember my instructor telling me that my parents didn't, and it's a stupid rule that no one follows lol

#

"road and rubber" meaning when you stop behind a car, you should be far enough back to see the road and their tires over the hood

#

But yeah that's just a cash grab

hexed arrow
#

Quote from my instructor "forget most the things I though you they are useless" ๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

I knew most the things from the theory test as well as from driving to work so he only taught me the things they check during the test

shadow osprey
#

taught?

hexed arrow
#

Si

stoic ledge

Does your country not have a learners permit, or something equivalent to a provisional license?
You take lessons, then pass the exam. There's nothing like that.

What we do have, it that you can take take (and pass) your exam when you're 17. You'll get your full license when you pass, but you aren't allowed to drive alone until you are 18. Until then, you'll always need a tutor, which has to be specified (you get a card with their names on it). The day you turn 18, you can do whatever you like :p

Example: At the age of 17, I took my lessons (30) and passed my exam. I did get my full license, BUT I wasn't allowed to drive alone: until I turned 18, I had to drive around with my mom or dad sitting next te me. The day I turned 18, I was allowed to drive al by myself.

Hope this makes it clear ๐Ÿ˜›

#

@shadow osprey

carmine summit
#

The system here in Ontario is good

#

when you're 16 you can go in and write a test and then you get you G1, which means you have to have someone who has had a full license for over 4 years with you at all times, you can't drive on major roads like the 401 or QEW, and you can't drive between midnight and 5 am

#

If you do drivers ed, then 8 months after you get your G1 you can go take a road test for your G2 which lets you drive alone and on any roads but limits when you can drive on major roads, and you can't carry certain passengers at certain times

#

if you don't do drivers ed then you have to wait a year from when you get your G1 to get your G2

#

And then 1 year after you get your G2 you can do a much harder road test and get your full license

jovial mauve
#

Mk you forgot to mentiom the insane costs

stoic ledge
#

Yeah 30 lessons + TTT + exam = โ‚ฌ1560 for the same package I had

(almost 1.8k USD)

#

ยฑ โ‚ฌ1.5k for 30 lessons is normal, or even more for nicer cars. And most have 40-50 lessons

@stoic ledge I paid $250 for my driving school

And beside the car and gas and insurance

#

I don't pay nothing past that

#

Well $50 dollars for the plastic

stoic ledge
#

Lucky bastard

#

xD

#

The only way we can get a license is true a driving school, nothing else

o:

#

~1k for driving school (theoretical exam, then 20h of driving, then i drive 3k Km with family -not mandatory, you can just do the 20hs- and then exam)

thats pretty cool!

shadow osprey
#

@stoic ledge Ah, that's more like the US learners permit. It basically says you can only drive with a licensed driver 21+ in the passenger seat. I wouldn't really call that a full license lol

stoic ledge
#

@shadow osprey well it is a full license, I've still got the same one. Only restriction is you can't drive alone until the day you turn 18.

If I understand correct, with a learners permit you still have to take a new test to get your full license. That's not the case in my country.

#

^^ can't visit the website due to EU regulations GWmythiFeelsBadMan (talking about the Mustang)

shadow osprey
#

Yes, but that would be the only difference

#

paper test for permit, driving test for license

stoic ledge
#

Paper test + driving test for license (can be done at the age of 17)

Driving with a licensed driver until the day you turn 18

The day you turn 18: woohoo full license

If you take your driving test after you turned 18, you don't have to drive with a licensed driver: you can immediately drive alone

shadow osprey
#

paper teat for permit permit at 15.5

drive with licensed driver for 9 months, driver 40-50 hours depending

license at 16 and 3 months (driving test)

curfew of midnight-4am (unless school, work, or with licensed driver) and no more than 1 non-family member passenger until 18

stoic ledge
#

It's kinda the same idea, but with a twist ๐Ÿ˜‰

shadow osprey
#

ye

#

Split up

#

drawn out

stoic ledge
#

Ah well, we've got it now

#

So who cares

#

xD

shadow osprey
#

lol

#

yeah pretty much

#

I think it's different in the state I live in now anyways

#

I did all that boring shit in another state lol

stoic ledge
#

Ah lol

#

Difference between multiple states, ofcourse

#

1.5 diesel, 90hp

๐Ÿ’ช

#

It was really fast, especially in Eco-mode

#

/s

#

And, best of all: it's French

shadow osprey
#

They're provided by the company you go with for the driving test

#

I wear size 13 shoes, and above the gas pedal there was like a stray bolt or piece of plastic or something that limited how I could move my foot from the gas to the brake, so I had to be really careful to not get my foot stuck and not be able to hit the brake pedal

#

You would think the fucking Department of Transportation would have a little more quality control than that

#

Then again, government regulated...

stoic ledge
#

Wow that sucks

#

Tbh i had enough space in the Clio, luckily

#

The CBR (= organisation which takes driving exams) have a list a car which are allowed and which are not, all cars are being tested. So I expect it to be right

#

But yeah this car is/was also owned by the driving school (you have to take the exam in a specialized car including double pedals, and you are obliged to take the test via a driving school

#

But that Malibu is probably an automatic, no ? ๐Ÿ‘€

shadow osprey
#

Yeah

#

Double pedals?

#

What's that

#

Is that what you weird people call a manual?

stoic ledge
#

"Passenger" (instructor) has it's own set of gas/brake/clutch pedal

#

Lel no most driving school cars here are manual

#

If you pass you exam in an automatic, you are only allowed to drive automatics for the rest of your life. If you pass in a manual, you are allowed to drive both

shadow osprey
#

Ah

#

Ours just had a brake

#

lmao the US should do that

stoic ledge
#

So only people who really can't drive stick use an automatic

shadow osprey
#

JK they shouldn't, manual is free theft deterrent here

stoic ledge
#

True true

#

Manual cars GWcmeisterPeepoLove

shadow osprey
#

sticks are basically dead in the US, outside of performance and super base level economy cars, which no one buys here

#

They've been losing ground in the rest of the world also, but the US has always been auto heavy to begin with so oh well

#

That's why I'll always own a 90s car

stoic ledge
#

Here most is/was automatic for only the luxury cars, but more people are getting manuals in more "normal" cars. Still, the majority of new cars is still a manual

#

Yeah even small stuff like a Chevy Spark is an automatic over there

#

A to D segment cars (Chevy Spark to VW Passat) are almost always available with a manual

#

Or as optional extra with an automatic

#

Even on high trims

shadow osprey
#

Yeah autos are standard on all but the low trims usually, and manual isn't even optional most of the time

#

Like in a Ford Fusion, there's no manual

stoic ledge
#

Atm we can only get the Hybrid Fusion (Mondeo) here due to CO2-emissions, but until last year we could get a manual

#

1.0 and 1.5 EcoBoost, 2.0 EcoBoost was always an automatic

shadow osprey
#

That was just a random example. The other two US brands are like that also though

stoic ledge
#

Yeah I know

shadow osprey
#

Only one with a standard manual is the base sedan (not hatch, no stick there) and the ST hatch

#

Sorry, that's focus

stoic ledge
#

All Focus are available with a manual here

#

(and we don't have the sedan anymore)

shadow osprey
#

Not even the EU brands offer that much though. Mercedes hasn't offered a manual in most things for years, outside of maybe like a C-class

stoic ledge
#

Yeah but that's "premium"

shadow osprey
#

VW does in the golf and jetta

stoic ledge
#

That's not premium xD

shadow osprey
#

That's the only non "premium" EU brand we have here pretty much

stoic ledge
#

True

shadow osprey
#

the rest are all MB, audi, bmw, and then it goes up to like porsche and stuff

stoic ledge
#

Well the Passat 1.5 TSI can be bought with either a manual or an automatic

#

2.0TDI the same

#

But imagine a Ford Fusion with the 1.0 EcoBoost, 125hp manual. That thing will fly ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ’ฆ

shadow osprey
#

only an auto here for passat

#

fusion with 125hp flying? no lol

stoic ledge
#

^^ ๐Ÿ˜‚

shadow osprey
#

My dad's audi has twice that and it doesn't fly

#

well it did before the head gasket went bad

stoic ledge
#

Classic Audi

shadow osprey
#

It probably makes about 190 now

#

And smokes out the road for a quarter mile

stoic ledge
#

That's normal for a VAG car

shadow osprey
#

vag?

#

Oh look, again only the base jetta has a manual. Not even the R-model does

stoic ledge
#

Volkswagen Auto Group (VAG)

#

Audi is part of that

shadow osprey
#

ah

#

yeah vw owns most of EU

stoic ledge
#

Jetta isn't even sold here anymore because it's a Mexican VW, which don't use fancy plastics like the European VW's

#

PSA is also quite large in Europe (Peugeot/Citroen/Opel/DS)

shadow osprey
#

And the golf is?

#

Or is it rabbit there

stoic ledge
#

I think you guys get a slightly different Golf

#

It's not the EU build one

#

It's the same with small changes and some cheaper plastics

shadow osprey
#

I was just meaning to say that they're the same platform so if you get one it makes no sense why you wouldn't get the oter

#

of course plastics

#

expected

stoic ledge
#

Yeah but nobody buys sedans anymore

#

Also it has the same interior as the Polo

#

Not the Golf

#

And Polo < Golf

shadow osprey
#

Are you sure that's not backwards?

stoic ledge
#

European VW buyers get a ๐Ÿ† due to the softtouch plastics for some reason

#

No, the Polo is both cheaper and smaller then a Golf

#

Polo is Fiesta-sized

shadow osprey
#

Ah Audi A1 sized, yes

stoic ledge
#

A1 is ugly

#

And overpriced

#

Just for the badge

#

It litteraly has the same interior as the Polo

#

With only a different steering wheel and Audi A3 climate controls

#

You can get a nicer looking, better equipt, faster, larger Ford Focus/Opel Astra/... For the same price as an A1

#

I'm gonna make you laugh, I'm checking the base A1 price

#

Audi A1 25 TFSI: 1.0TSI with 95hp, stuff like cruise control is not standard: โ‚ฌ25k

#

That's 28k USD

shadow osprey
#

What's the Polo?

#

like 20k?

stoic ledge
#

Lemme check

#

Starts at โ‚ฌ16.5k, but that's a lower engine (1.0 MPI, no turbo, 75hp)

shadow osprey
#

Ah

#

I don't think a car with 75hp has been sold in the US for at least 20 years

stoic ledge
#

โ‚ฌ20.151 for the 1.0 TSI 95hp one

shadow osprey
#

You might be able to find 130 if you look hard enough

#

wow that's a big price gap

stoic ledge
#

You did get the Smart ForTwo, which has less then 75 hp ;)

shadow osprey
#

Doesn't count xD people have to buy it for it to count

stoic ledge
#

Yeah but you'll also get a higher trim. The base โ‚ฌ16.5k one doesn't even have AC

#

The โ‚ฌ20k one does

shadow osprey
#

No AC LOL now THAT is something that definitely doesn't happen in the US

stoic ledge
#

But still, the same Audi A1 is โ‚ฌ25k, so a +5k price difference

shadow osprey
#

Maybe in Alaska

stoic ledge
#

Yeah nobody buys those

#

I don't even think the dealer wants to sell that one

#

To just have it to put a really low price in the brochure

shadow osprey
#

I'm still surprised by some things that aren't included in base models here though. Can't think of any off the top of my head but just random stuff

#

Yeah, dealers don't make jack off base model cars here

#

Options are where the money lies lol

stoic ledge
#

Same here, and resale values suck

shadow osprey
#

You'd be hard pressed to even find a base model on a lot, of anything

stoic ledge
#

Most cars are on order here

shadow osprey
#

And you'd be hard pressed convincing a sales rep that you actually want to buy a base model xD

stoic ledge
#

Stock is kept really low, unless it's a special promotion model

shadow osprey
#

Define really low

#

like 30 cars?

stoic ledge
#

Yeah true, same here

#

Not even 30

shadow osprey
#

or like 75

#

not even 30?

stoic ledge
#

I don't think so

shadow osprey
#

A small new lot here would be like 100 cars

stoic ledge
#

Let me check real quick

#

My local Opel dealer has at the moment 32 new cars, and that is the largest Opel dealer in a 60-70 mile range

shadow osprey
#

lmfao

stoic ledge
#

That does include 23 demo cars

#

So actually only 9 brand new ones that haven't been driven at all

#

But let's keep it at 32

#

Like I said, most cars are on order here

#

And only 1 is an automatic ๐Ÿ˜‰

shadow osprey
#

My local Ford has 725 across 3 dealers

#

Minus a few that haven't left the production line yet, so maybe 600-650 is a safe bet

stoic ledge
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Througout the entire country, only 308 new Opel's are available

#

And Opel is the #3 best selling car brand

#

So imagine that

shadow osprey
#

approximately 15 are manual

stoic ledge
#

284 manual, 24 auto

shadow osprey
#

So that's about 710 autos, and 15 manual

#

So... If my math is right... about 2%

stoic ledge
#

Yeah

#

Nice

#

Kinda funny that your local Ford has more stock in 3 dealership then an entire country here

#

Twice the stock*

shadow osprey
#

lol

#

seriously

jovial mauve
#

Dude almost all cars here are a manual

#

You want a auto get rdy to pay like 2 3k extra lmao

stoic ledge
#

Not anymore, some automatics are the same due to lower emissions == less CO2 == less BPM ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

BMW 118i with an auto is โ‚ฌ500 cheaper ๐Ÿ˜‰

jovial mauve
#

True but those are high end cars

stoic ledge
#

Because it has 6 grams of CO2/km less

#

True

#

For normal Corsa/Polo/Fiesta/Golf/Astra/Focus cars an auto is still more expensive

jovial mauve
#

I havnt drove a manual in ages

#

Auto is so nice

stoic ledge
#

Manual FTW

jovial mauve
#

Untik your stuck in traffic what is very common here

#

I have a 7 speed when i drive 120 cruise its doing 1,18

#

I mean thats pretty decent

#

Golf only has a 6 speed so it drinks more gas lmao

#

I think 1,10 is the best i evwr had

midnight peak
#

waht do the 1.18 and 1.10 mean?

#

fuel consumprion?

jovial mauve
#

Yeah

midnight peak
#

what mesurement unit?

shadow osprey
#

1.1 what

jovial mauve
#

Liters and km's

midnight peak
#

like liters per 100km?

#

cos that's nigh impossible

#

unless massive downhill

jovial mauve
#

No 1 liter for 18 kms

#

So around 8 liters for a 100 km

#

1,10 is 10l / 100km

shadow osprey
#

Interesting way of measuring fuel economy

midnight peak
#

yeah

jovial mauve
#

I mean thats just how we do it here

midnight peak
#

that's the first time i seen someone use that measurement

jovial mauve
midnight peak
#

that's... interesting

jovial mauve
#

You can see my last trip i used 11.6 liters on 100 km so that means i drove around 1,8

#

Here we call it "1 op 10"

#

For example

#

@stoic ledge help me fam

midnight peak
#

i ger it, it's like a metric version of miles per gallon

jovial mauve
#

Yeah haha

#

How do you measure your fuel economy?

#

I think if i put it in mpg it would be 13.07 mpg

midnight peak
#

my entire life i've only used liters/100km

#

knew about mpg but didn't really know how many mpgs are how many l/100km

#

i knew that more mpg=better, and that 35ish and above is like 6l/100km or less, and that <20mpg is like a tank's fuel economy

#

conversion w/o calculator is hard cos it's reciprocal and gallon=3.5l and mile=1.6km

#

my brain is not capable of that

jovial mauve
#

Haha

#

Yeah i allways calculate based on what my car tells me im doing

#

But its very random sometimes i get bad fuel economy due to the weather etc

midnight peak
#

yeah, here we just read what the car says and stick with it. a 1.9 diesel reanult with 130hp has on average around 6-6.5 l/100km, some super eco cars have 4-5l/100km

#

yeah weather can be a bich
