I fell for the meme, I suffered but now it's time to sell and invest in an oled screen for my sim racing. The 2000€ running costs every year I put into a trip to Japan or so. Anyone who can relate? I'm 100% sure that's also the reason why young people aren't interested in cars no more, or at least don't buy them.

if you want to step up from sim racing you need to look into karting. Consumables and maintenance are significantly cheaper, don't need to fuck a car up on a track, you can actually race people and progress into the hobby if you're interested, and if you get into an accident at a track (you will) it's not a big deal vs. a car

Yeah they're fucking gay, reason why everyone on here trolls the 3 or 4 people who cope spending that much ona new car when there infinitely better cars for less used, old sti, old german stuff, s2000, corvette/camaro, muscle thing of yesteryear, hot hatches with more than 190 hp that are new like gr corolla, golf r, rs3, you did it to yourself lol

ding ding ding. This was my #1 issue with the first gen, no way was I going to put up with the faggotry of a notorque boxer sewing machine consuming premium for 150whp. Glad I got to rent one out for a week before deciding not to pull the trigger. It's no doubt "fun" but for all intensive purposes, a bike is unironically more practical

I have the opposite problem OP, I have a GR86 and can't stop driving it even though I have a full frame sim rig with VR and an RTX 4080. I'm already on my 2nd set of tires and about to hit 50k miles. Did you get the auto and live in Texas or something?

Hättest dir ein Motorrad holen sollen. Sind sehr günstig vom Kaufpreis, haben geringere monatlichen Kosten und machen viel mehr spaß.

OP, buy a low mileage Fiesta with 1.25-1.4-1.6, preferably mk5 (pre-EPAS). Slower but fun. Tons of low mileage offers on mobile. Add Bilstein B12, rear disc brakes (optionally), 16-17 inch tires/wheels.

This is why you get a miata, the novelty of driving with the top down never wears out.

I was in a similiar simutation two years ago.Spent my entire life driving underpowered shitboxes (I'm talking 70hp and less) and I finally wanted to buy the i30N after realizing Hyundai will stop producing them.
Luckily for me, my friends told me to rent it out first and see if the car suits me.>rent out i30N for a week with the intent of buying one later, just want to see how it feels
>the car is advertised as the perfect hybrid of a cool hot hatch and a comfy daily driver
>reality sets in after I pickup the keys and start driving
>it's loud, but not as fast as I imagined and its a massive gas hog
>suspension is way too stiff, very uncomfortable for daily driving
>the interior feels like cheap plastic used for toys made in china
>minor interior rattles, but even worse: the wheel arch is making tons of noises (have fun with that in the winter with all the salt)
>insurance costs for this car are astronomically highDid you not go for a test drive before buying?
I'm not talking "the dealer let me drive for 5 minutes", but actually renting out the car for several days and use for your commute, to check if you like the car or not.
Sure, it may cost a couple of hundred bucks, but it's still worth it.

I got ten speeding tickets in like 3 days in Germany (rental) and they sent me a nice photo of my face to my address overseas. I'm never ever paying it. That's what you get imo. It's my right nay my obligation to abuse Germans for destroying Europe with muslims.As for your actual post firstly 30k euros is double what the car costs in Japan so you are retarded and secondly if you drove like I did you'd have a lot of fun at any speed. Simulators are like wanking itll never scratch that itch. Prost.
