It's me again. I changed my mind on 4 doors.
What's the best fun car that has decent cargo space, which goes into the cabin(like toyobaru brz86) to make extra space?
25mpg+ combined, reliable and cheap to own in terms of insurance, maintenance, gas, etc. all under $25,000
#Spacious-ish fun car under 25k?

Honda has always proven their reliability it's one of the best selling brands in the US for a reason
If it gets Scotty kilmers approval you know it's reliable

Get a gti if you live in europe honda literally anywhere else

you clearly don’t understand, you can’t do anything to make a hybrid fastwr
but you can mod the si, acceleration is not a metric for fun

If you’re that concerned about fuel economy, a hybrid civic is a top notch move. And to be clear, that is a greatvehicle. But if you’re going to do fun or sporty driving or start talking mods, get an Si. It will be great out of the box, hit your 25mpg metric with room to spare, and be as reliable as you need it to be. I personally am partial to the K20 powered Si but get whatever flavor/configuration you like best.
shy tusk
I think the civic si is the most flexible option so I'd say get that one

I've heard that the si takes forever to warm up in winter. Is that true?
I also plan to use this vehicle as a project car, probably gonna turbocharge
zinc helm
Probably depends on your meaning of “forever.” It’s definitely quicker to warm up than the 80’a and 90’s stuff that I grew up driving. Versus a non-Si civic of the same year I’d have trouble believing it takes any longer. And yes, if this is going to be a project, si is the way. That said, if this is going to be a daily, don’t make it a project.
lyric mason
Well it's more of a semi-project
The goal of the said project being to still keep it a decent daily driver

Your not going to buy a car and plan on throwing a turbo on and it is still going to be a daily. That process alone takes lots of time and loads of money. Ask anyone here that has built a car or is building a car.
I believe what you should do is sit down and write a list of things you want and compare and contrast. Set a budget and research around that.

Well I do intend to drive something else in the mean time. Are there other problems I'm not aware of?
graceful stirrup
What do you mean problems? Like problems with putting a turbo on car?

Wait a sec, I just remembered that Si comes with a turbo by default

I’ve grocery shopped in the C4. Even the vert with the top down can fit 3 pizzas and like 5 pineapples 👍
Nevermind the passenger seat space
