I just traded my Jag in for a 2017 Honda Civic. Shit was getting pricey on everything for that bitch. The civic is nowhere near as fast or fun but it gets 40 mpg and looks pretty sleek. Saw a Prius before I traded it for the civic. It had some nice white leather insides but I just couldn't see myself in that shit lmao

Civics are overpriced for my liking, not to mention the Accords. You might as well go with a Mazda 3 if you wanna have a fun experience as far as handling and great mileage. Got a Mazda 6 manual transmission for pretty much the same amount a Civic would go for. Bank for the buck Mazda is one of the best cars you can get on the market.

This dude knows his shit and makes hands down the best car reviews on YT imo

Your right about that. I imagine that in about 10 years when shit starts to fail hybrids will be selling for super cheap because of batteries not holding good charges....ive seen prices of those batteries before...and yea them shits ain't cheap.....not to mention all the other technology packed in.

Actually from what I hear, 7 years is the magic number. So, expect to see a large amount of those 2009-2011 hybrids on craigslist for the low pretty soon. If you know how to service/repair a HV battery without electrocuting yourself, you can come up.

Hahaha yep key word being electrocuting. I figure going to school to learn to be a hybrid/electric car mechanic would be a smart move for anyone in that field or thinking about about it because that's the wave of the future. I think the gasoline engine is slowly fading away.

The 1st gen Mazda 3 dethroned the Civic as king and this current model continued that. But now the new Civic is lighter, has more power than before....and the upcoming Si is supposed to be the shit....so soon we will see a comparison between the two.....and let's not forget about the Volkswagen GTI.

I went to high school with this korean kid whose parents owned a few dry cleaners and for his 16th birthday (1996) he got a brand new GTI VR6 and he had it all tricked out within a few months. Ever since then I've wanted a bad ass little hatchback.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens to the petroleum business, when hybrid/electric vehicles shake the heavy government regulation and they start becoming the majority of the vehicles on the road. I'll probably be like 90 years old by then...laughing at niggas plugging their car into a usb port. lol

Lol I know what you mean bro. I've always liked those too. I find it interesting that since it's introduction way back in the 70s(?), the basic shape is still the same. You know from a distance immediately what it is.

Hahaha I can't even imagine the type of shit they're going to have 40 years from now. It'll be interestingly weird to say the least.

The Lexus Hybrid is super clean, a colleague of mine has it and I'd drive it for sure.
Click to expand...
Which one? They got like 5 I think. One the thing that's cool is that nowadays a lot of hybrids are exact twins of their gasoline counterparts so they dont stick out like a Prius does in traffic. They don't scream "look at me, I'm a hybrid!!!"

If Nissan puts out a hybrid 370z I may change my mind about hybrids. What I save in gas would go to all the speeding tickets. lol. Those things are beasts.
Click to expand...
I used to have this "built" Integra GSR and raced the 370z and that shit smoked me by like 9 cars lmao Then
I raced the turbo 370z in my Jag and would smoke them in the top of 3rd gear. That Mazda Speed 3 kept up better than the 370z. Maybe the Mazda was built a bit, but if it wasn't that Mazda would be my choice as far as I've seen them in races. They kinda look better to me too than the 370,

Mazda 3s kinda remind me of those Subaru STI hatchbacks. I am not a fan of the hatchback look, but those things corner like no other. I may have to look into getting behind the wheel of one of those 3s. The only Mazda I have ever driven was a Miata MX-5 and that was like a 08-09.
