like smg?
My grandparents or Dacia?
At least it's cheap so you can't really complain for the price
Dacia: it's cheap
My grandparents: it's cheap and my grandpa likes Dacia
cause they came AFTER torque converter autos
It's mostly cheaper, and dual clutches can be faster
yes but smg and stuff was terrible
dual clutch is not smg, can be different
I think Dacia made the cheapest car in the world no ? The Dacia Logan I think
The M5 really needed the manual
we got the manual
@dry fern That would be the Tata Nano
For example, we had a 2003 Corsa C.
- Easytronic 5sp: +€500
- Torque converter auto 4sp: +€2000
Holy shit
yikes
But yeah for M-cars... Just because F1 used them probably
In the end: manual > auto
That's why Ferrari used them too
Is that a car that u don’t need any liscense?
you can still get the Dodge Journey with a 4 speed auto
Oof
Lmaooo
ZF 8HP is the best auto, but I'd still prefer a manual
But if I must get an auto: ZF please
I much prefer a manual
M2 underrated
Though to be honest I do like the CVT in my grandma's Jazz Hybrid
I don't know, that CVT just isn't crap for some reason
honda cvts arent as bad as nissan cvts
Thankfully not
Wdym
Nissan CVTs break all the time
^
I'll just get an Insignia B 1.6T manual probably after my current car 
I want something with some real power, at least 300
(G70 and Stinger both check that box)
a buddy of mine got one, its okay but i'd not pay as much as he did for it
1.6T has 200hp, big enough upgrade from my 83hp
Plentiful, especially here
Exactly
Not really necessary here
365hp and a speed limit of like 55?
They are even reducing our speed limits to 60mph March next year 😠
we have a lot of streets that are 45mph around town
but with stop signs and stuff
so you can lay into it
and nyoom
I live 3km away from Belgium, 20km from the unrestricted german Autobahn

woohoo
365 is adequate without being overpowered
Wait 60mph for highways ?
(thats teh same amount as parents cars)
thats what it is up here too
60mph
until you get away from the big city and it jumps to 70-75
For highways ?
ye
Yep
No way
Yes way
It’s slow af
how fast is it where you drive
It's 130 here as well for now
Lemme convert
It's 130km/h here now, and will be in the evening too, but they're going to reduce it during the day to 100km/h here by next March
Thanks to nitrogen
Ffs they are killing us ...
Yes we're emitting "to much nitrogen" (literally 1/5th compared to neighbouring countries, but ok)
It's ridiculous
Ok can we talk about China then
No
No
No
They make us look like guilty when China have thousand of shit factory the make wish products
i mean in america its like... 16mpg SUVs driving 140 miles a day
so
lul
i bet our emissions are literally 1k times higher than NL
Yep
well
Yes but our shitty tiny 1.0 70hp eco muesli cars doing 60mpg can only go 60mph
They can go faster if you're patient
wait the newer suburban mihgt only hold 8
Oh side note
I sat in the new Lexus RX 350 L
the back seat is stupid
as hell
Don't get a new Lexus
with the second row moved all the way up touching the front seat
i still couldn't fit behind it
at all
The old ones are better
Thank goodness
Indeed
Just get the regular RX
Then it would be like a Prius Sport
Not the L
i wouldn't get the new RX
Prius Sport 👀
next car will be something more sporty
Depending how good the GV70 is I'd consider that
The render I saw looks quite nice
but it needs to handle well
Prius sport 😂
We don't need much power here so I'd just get this
the only NEW Lexus I'd get would be the GS F or RC F
(Or LC F if I had buckets of money)
I'm to tall for a Miata
That's why I'm happy I have an average height
I always merge s2000 with rx8
Oh
I jus realised that there are some interesting similarities between the GV70 renders and my RX
😛
nothing obvious, jus some window shape similarities and stuff
It just looks like a Bentayga ripoff to me
Yes it’s vtec but 4 cylinder
imo it looks distinct enough
RX-8 has even less cylinders 😉
eh, we'll see how it ends up actually looking
i wish the g70 had a bigger trunk
It does look nice
NOW THATS A NICE ANGLE
Genesis might be coming to Europe 👀
Yes
cause it would solve my practicality annoyance with the G70
It would be €100k+ here tho 
also would have to have the awesome interior
Yes
(would also get a G70 Wagon, like you mentioned)
Lol
stinger wagon
Kinda looks like a Jag XF Wagon
This looks nice too imo
Yes it does
Yeah I quite dig the pro-ceed
It's smaller than a Venza
How?
Hmm
Stupid American who can drive badass cars tho
am I the only one who finds the new g90 ugly as hell btw
No
Yeah not that fond of it
Did Stevie Wonder design that
Previous gen was nice tho
yes^
all the previous genesis cars have been nice or at least tolerable
but the new g90 is bad
Rims are ugly
And cheap used
yes^
The rear actually looks decent
I'd get a used one
I would set a pair of JR17 on that instead
rear end is a bit clunky but decent
It's mostly the front end that looks dumb
And the rims
Well you can change those
It looks like something Rockstar would release in GTA
I'm one of the few people that like the Telluride
Save $5,699 on a used Genesis G70 near you. Search over 4,400 listings to find the best Port Orchard, WA deals. We analyze millions of used cars daily.
its in cali
i wish
it looks REAL nice
but its not the good wheel option
(also i have no money)
Lmao
Hell yeah
It's like a C-Class from an alternate dimension
The color tho 😍
much better than a C-Class lol
The rear and the interior highly remind me of the C-Class
that doesnt remind me of the c class tbh
Not the entire thing but many details
idk, i sat in both and much preferred the interior of the g70
its also better quality
oh sorry I meant versus stinger
Oh lol
My brain just kind of derped
Yeah the Stinger looks more basic
It's about as nice as a c class
Definitely
G70 please
We need a video on how to get a nice car cheap
buy it used
^
Those got me drooling
would be hilariously expensive over there i imagine
They got heavily inspired by Mercedes though
eh
No doubt about that
lots of cars ahve similar gauges though
Just look at the « C-Class »
Reminds me of a Chevy.
I thought u were talking about a Mercedes
lol
If only we could get it for that price
Yeah...
€100k+
Something like that lol
We can import ?
Nope
We can import it
I'll get it in like 3 years when its less than 20k 😄
Still have to pay the taxes
But then you still pay that
With taxes, it's €100k
Omg...
For what is basically a Hyundai
This is why uk left
Eh no
Not really
That is a completely different story
Hyundais are still nice.
Not €100k nice
I'll take it over what is basically a taxi, (mercedes)
xD
I'd rather have a Toyota than a Hyundai
sure
Same
depends on the toyota...
But that doesn't say anything nice about Mercedes.
Not saying they're bad
Toyota doesn't have a nice RWD sedan tho
I'd rather have a Toyota over a Mercedes.
Well a GS F is over €150k
And LC
467hp
No thnx
I'll take any Lexus over anything Mercedes has to offer me.
That's like 200k USD
Still more worth it than Audi
Yep
Overpriced understeering VW
well... the RS6 Avant is real nice
That's what bank robbers think too
But still essentially a FWD car.
Audi is moving in weird directions these days.
Mercedes is just... bland.
BMW lost a manual, regained something.
Mercedes just doesn't know what to do so they just have a car in every segment
Mercedes is mostly luxury comfort imho
Yeah
BMW isn't as interesting as they used to be imo
bmw has gotten bland too
Mostly because of emissions
The G80 is nice.
Cause of the new x5 ?
same interior and design language in every single car gets a bit old
G80 is very old-people ish
BMW over Audi/Mercedes tho
Apparently BMW is trying to move to durability.
sat in it right after the G70 and it felt very different
LOLOLOL
a durable BMW?
😂
yep
BMW always been ahead from others in Germany tho
if you want durable, buy a toyota
They've apparently started making a concerted effort to build to last now.
Buy a Supra
Toyota accepted BMW's engine for the Supra.

lmao
Toyota approved, so BMW did something right.
and i assure you its going to break down real quick
compared to a toyota designed engine
We won't know till 5 years down the road.
Depends
If you ignored rust, exploding transmissions, and oil dilution.
And ugly too
I don't count styling as an issue.
That is all in the eye of the beholder
It can be ugly as fuck, but if it lasts 20 years, I'd say it's well built.
But Honda has been taken to court over the transmission issues in years past.
At least Toyota made the Corolla cool
Nonononono
Or have we all forgotten the last gen?
Well the new one looks a bit questionable
A car so dull it was given a midlife refresh a year into a 5 year product cycle.
corolla used to be the most basic crap and now I'd totally buy a corolla hatch if thats what I was looking for
The civic is ugly AF and it’s bad engine
Bad engine?
Yeah
The 2.0 is a fine engine.
i think the new corolla hatch is cute
And they say they fixed the 1.5T issues.
U already saw a civic make a night run ?
lol
lol
lol
cute car isn't a bad thing 😛
Sorry had to defend my manliness.
Joking aside. I don't know if I'd call it cute.
I won't oppose people calling it cute.
Personally I think the new Corolla is cool. Stylish, modern.
Definitely
And if someone calls it cute.... sure, I'm not gonna argue.
It's not bland, and that's what counts imo.
You have the 2.0 manual right?
friend of mine got the '17 civic touring, with the 1.5
Yeah, my 'rolla is a 2.0.
174hp
The one we don't get
That being said. It's not as powerful as Honda's turbos.
No but it's fine
Perfectly adequate.
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
i suspect my car would feel much nicer to drive/more adequate if it had a better transmission
I'm happy I got the white interior.
I'd get the white interior in a Tesla, not sure I would in the g70
would either get red or black in the Stinger
ah, a blue one
meant interior colour
Smurf blue
Full disclosure, the Corolla engine note is not a highlight.
I like it but it's quite bright
I wouldn't have minded blue.
No but it's a good engine nonetheless
It's packed with tech.
Now for me to find out if Toyota's newest design will hold up.
The only thing Toyota can't seem to get right is the infotainment
It's not wrong.
It's not great either
Do you have Android Auto/Apple Carplay?
Lucky
<- this guy
Nice
I'm looking at getting the new OP7T 5G
They only started doing that recently
I'm waiting on an android auto update.
Toyota navigation is pretty bad
scout GPS
It's still way better
Their move away from touchscreen killed it for me.
The ones I used had touchscreen
Those weren't loved by reviewers.
And the new system is smooth... ish?
But frankly learning an all knob system sounds like distracted hell.
Or they could ask BMW since they made a lovechild now
Just use Waze ...
I can't.
Waze is terrible
The only thing BMW does right is iDrive
Google Maps is much easier to use
I just preplan my trips and memorize it.
Same data, better app
Mhmmm
Yeah but that's not a solution
Thanks for the tips
It's a workaround
Ok ur phone bro
One sec lemme pull up my car's navigation
I use Flitsmeister 
Just put a gps on ur phone
like really bad lol
Otherwise... uhhhh... bluetooth connection, and have my phone scare the ever living shit out of me midsong.
I have a gps on my phone lol.
I think we all use GPS on our phones.
Yeah so no need shitty car stock gps
my OP5 lost gps for some reason, so I got a OP6T for a good deal.
I'd take a built in GPS over my phone.
Lol
Am looking into an OP7T Pro because Tmobile is offering a great trade in deal atm
But extra cost option that's not even available on manuals usually.
So glancing down at my passenger seat on occasion or having someone tell me which way to go is how I roll.
Carplay ftw
I envy iphone owners in that case.
Apple did something right
I'd have considered an iphone x when I got my 6T but it doesn't have fingerprint
They have their moments
which is a 100% deal breaker
Yeah I don't like the idea of Face ID either
like its a cool supplement
Just don't enable it.
but its insecure and obnoxious
Touch ID works brilliantly for me
Can't hack it if you don't enable it. lol
My OP6T has fingerprint reader under the display, best of both worlds
I've tried using that weird slide pattern when I had my Android
Never really worked nicely
Back to PIN it was
Never could get used to it.
Happily the fingerprint sensor on my Galaxy is good enough.
Fingerprint sensors are the nicest
Why no capacitive sensor tho...
the in-screen I have now is first gen and kind of slow sometimes but it is quite cool
c'mon Samsung.
and tbh I'll take the accuracy/speed hit because i find it just so damn cool
Samsung waited until next gen
ultrasonic isn't perfect.
Inscreen sensors are a gimmick.
nah, its really nice
Nothing wrong with the last gen's Nexus sensors on the back.
I think phone makers put way too much weight behind inscreen sensors.
i prefer them on the front, so you don't have to pick it up to turn it on
^
Give me in-screen camera sensors dammit.
I hardly ever use the selfie cam so I'm fine with the slidey ones
or my tiny notch right now
Okay, that's going beyond placement issues. heh
I don't mind a bezel if it's not too obnoxious
the notch on my 6T is so small that it isn't obtrusive at all
Maybe the S10 Plus is silly with 2 sensors, but one is totally fine.
and if the app doesnt like having a notch, it just cuts out the status bar liek an S9 or something and it works great
doesn't look fucky at all
It is inhouse Google.
don't care, its hideous
And to think people were excited about them building a car.
lolno
also, if they're going to have a giant ass notch like that
you can't have a huge chin bar
???
Why not make a bigger chin bar... yeah.
What's wrong with this (S9)
oh wow
nothing
Nothing wrong there.
Exactly
Nothing wrong with the S10 tbh.
im personally not a fan of the curved edges myself, but thats just my preference
It's... alright?
its just unnecessary imo, but some people like it
Don't like a hole in my screen
It feels nice, but the case renders it all pointless.
I might just be picky
The hole punch is a non-issue.
I'd rather have a small bezel
or the small bezel, yeah
on my 6t you can flat out turn off the notch and make it look alot like the s9
But it has to be symmetrical top and bottom
I didn't know Samsung made cars
its quite close to symmetrical, but not quite exactly.
Otherwise it just looks weird
It's off to the side.
@civic girder They do now!
interesting
The center punch bothers me more though.
We're basically the car community within the LTT community
i prefer that to the hole punch lol
But to be fair, at the prices Samsung are selling their phones these days they may as well make cars with the huge grofits
They're more capable of doing it than Apple or Google.
I got mine at ~halfish price, got it from someone who had upgraded to a 7 Pro for 300.
Honestly all of the flagships are close enough to being the same, so I'd say just get the cheaper options at the moment.
LG, Samsung, OnePlus, HTC... they're all gonna be good enough.
I got a Zenfone 6. $500 is still hundreds cheaper than other offerings with the 855
yes and no
because the old ZenUI on my Zenfone 4 was not great in some ways
the new ZenUI is actually pretty good
OxygenOS is incredibly good
^
go figure, they haven't changed it since Jellybean.
That was in 2014
had that on my Galaxy S5 a few years ago lol
Mine was a 2016, looked close to that.
I still miss my G3's design.
No camera bump and decent UI.
And one of the first high res displays around.
Ended up using APEX for my sharp.
LG G3

If you are willing to accept the drawbacks, lowering your car is probably the best move style wise.
This is as low as I'd go with it tbh
Bit low for even my comfort. lol
Let me just say I wouldn't go any lower
I like ride comfort too
Maybe a little less low?
I need to get up my driveway.
I live in Speedbump Heaven
bump
ksssssSSSSSSHHHhhhhshshhshhhhhhh
There is one speedbump nearby, can't even go over it without hitting the lip underneath the bumper on my mom's Ford Ka ffs
A Ka?
Yes
Now that is cute.
But that scrapes on bumps?
That's crazy. You sure you aren't jumping curbs? 
Nope, I go more slowly over them than my dad does
It's actually insane
I can't back off our driveway straight or I scrape 
It doesn't really matter that much because I always drive up on it at an angle
Your house is next to a pavement right?
It's a regular 2-onder-1-kap with a sidewalk
My driveway is just badly built.
Yes exactly
I backed up on our driveway once, damn that was horrible
scsghrghsrhgschgr
Yes 
But luckily it's the black rubber/plastic/whatever lip, not the actual bumper
Yes stock Corsa
Factory sport suspension tho, -1cm xD
oh shit nice
Issa pixel car
I am Nicko McBrain
X doubt
That's why you get a by Google compressed image of "your" car. Makes sense 🙃
i cant believe the drummer from iron maiden is on the ltt discord
Neither can I

poooowwweeerrrrr
They've taken a page from Toyota for the grill design.
Which is good.
I need to go buy a wheel brush to clean my wheels.
lots of spokes?
Yeah, and I want to get into the inner wheel itself.
I'm kind of lazy (and have ones that are easy to clean lol)
so I just use one of the hand pad thingies
(thats only for wheels, not on the rest of the car of course)
You can see pretty deep in, so I need to clean it all.
They are cool though
My summer wheels are based off the E46 M3 CSL wheels
Of those two I prefer the bottom ones
Quite a difference lol
hi
😂
Sure thing buddy
Good for you?
this is the one i what https://www.racechip.com/shop/bmw/4-series-f32-33_f36-from-2014/440i-2998ccm-326hp-240kw-450nm.html

How long do you plan on owning it?
Ah yes, the break-in period
we go it on 5.4.2019
We?
yes
There's no shame in saying it's your dad's car

it not
Then who's 'we'
he is dead
That went downhill quickly
yes
So was there anything else you wanted to talk about?
no
Okay then
His father is dewd ? @fair bronze
Pardon?
He said his father is dead or I’m dumb
Or both
😂
🤷♂️
U wanna see my car ? 😏

They cut tree leaves for winter :x
Nice little Ibiza though
I don't own a car lol
Fun fact: the engine warms up quicker if you keep it in the red zone
Nah, my rev counter is broken
Oh you got an Aston Martin rev counter
😁
Fancy
LOL
Lmao
Can’t wait, we’re getting 2 new cars soon, 1)2020 Supra and 2) 2020 Subaru Outback XT
Nice
Cool
And not ruin it
Exactly
This is quite hard to beat
Very true.
Apparently the vision is supposedly the new rx7, and the concept looks meh so far
hey some french plates, can't read the departement on those tho
66?
at first i thought the 'stang had foreign plates but it's just a weird ass french plate made to fit in the US format
Yeah yeah it’s French plate but made like US ones
@jagged coyote 95 (Val-d'Oise)
oh so paris
According to Google, it's close to Paris yes
well as soon as you see a department number start with a 9 you can asume it's near paris
except 974
All 3 digit departments, no?
Spoooooky
Oof something I learned in French class
Yeah I’m from 95
I spotted 2 Mustang in my region
And 5 others in 92
But old ones
Shelby
Immatriculed in California
I see dozens xD
Shelby ?
Yeah because they're cheap
that mustang isnt perfectly in the parking spot 🤔
In Paris you they use their bumpers to push away cars to make more room
really?
Same cars as the rest of Europe really
except Germany
Bwah depends
Germany makes cool cars (regardless of whether or not they fall apart the day the warranty ends)
I know 😉 Drives of in his Opel
But check some vids on YouTube how they park cars in Paris
We park normally ’-‘

That Mustang already barely fits in that spot so I don't blame them
European countries should make bigger parking spots. 🧠
Or pull a japan and have dope car parks
Keyless entry must be nice until your fob dies and you’re in the middle of no where
theres backup ways to get in / start the car
Just seems like a pain
I’m still diehard with physical keys
mines got a stupid transponder key
not quite keyless
it like... wirelessly connects with the security system
and makes it shut up
which is nice i guess but theyre hellishly expensive to replace
I know some cars will completely lock up if you use a key without a transponder
I knew my volvo would do it, so I never did it
Never bothered to test my focus key
Already have two sets so not a problem
Only got one key with my volvo so parents had to spend $300 to get a second key
Its not even that the key is expensive, but apparently programming the transponder is a world class service
oh my god
new keys for my car are insane
apparently theyre tied to the ECU permanently, so to get new keys means to get a new ecu
wtf lexus
what the actual fuck
Well, the volvo dealer is also a full luxury dealer (BMW, Mercedes, etc), and the only one, in the area
So, i was kinda stuck with that
our explorer has an interesting way of using the fob
you stick in this place in the center console and it uses NFC to start the car if the battery is dead
sure they can ive done it loads of times
not on an RX
then they are ripping u off
the RX has two "master keys", once those are gone youre fucked
not sure if thats legal, since you'd need to get into the proprietary software. regardless i still have both my keys so I'm good xD
i mean I emailed out of curiosity for a new trans (not that i need it yet, just testing the waters)
and got a quote for 7k
before labor
LOL.
NOPE.
lexus tax
can get a new unit for like 1200
from other parts sites
or rebuild the old one for probably less
its only a 4spd torque converter, its not even fancy
but just to highlight the incompetence of our local dealer
i had a thing for a free oil change, got it done there and watched them as they took off the front fucking bumper to change the oil
and moved a bunch of stuff out of the way
luls
the filter is in a dumb place, but all you need is a little wrench thing
I swear some people are clueless
and you can get it off
so they could max the labour time and charge
didnt cost me anything xd
I have been blinded
?
Dude had his high beams on
Do you wanna be blinded
they are
$12 for a 6inch lightning cable
dont look at hdmi
I know a lot about their HDMI cablrs
Last time I got a good deal from bestbuy is when i bought my g29 last year
my grandmother bought a computer there about 2yrs ago and actually didn't get screwed
nah, a Ryzen 7 1700, 16gb DDR4, RX 570 for 770$ isn't bad at all imo
particularly 2 yrs ago
when it was fairly new
mhm
