US roads are filled with mainly compact sedans and big bulky pick ups, trucks and SUVs. That's what's mainstream right now in the US, your daily commuter for the average person. A car that would go A to B just fine. But younger generations like us prefer cars with a character. Something that will reflect a part of our personality. A machine that is worth remembering for days to come. We decided to organize a list with the seven cars that we think are the most popular choice for people of our age (20-30).
"7 Cars US Petrol Heads ride right now"
Subaru Impreza WRX STi
2015 STI specs 305hp / 2.5L / 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds / 158mph
You already know a Subaru is coming even if you can't see it yet. The STI is definitely a car that drives a lot of crowd everywhere. It's popularity as a favorite in the US comes from being fast, sporty and fun to drive. A powerful engine, excellent low center of gravity-handling and awesome all-wheel drive system leave you with a rewarding driving experience. The WRX STI is a tricky car and you will have to be backed with mechanical knowledge above the average margin. That's why a well maintained DIY Subie is always worth applauding ! Just ask any Subaru about his dream car and he will tell you the : Subaru Impreza 22b !
The best part of owning an Impreza is that you will be widely accepted by the vast Subie community!
Pros: great handling and power in the lower bands. comfortable on long rides.
Cons: MPG's are less than desirable as well as power in the upper bands
And one bonus !
240SX
155hp / 2.4L / KA24DE /S13 specs
The S chassis had a run of almost 10 full years, originally released in 1989 and finishing the marathon in the `99. That's a car that has the reputation and overall crowd appeal. Even women tend to recognize it ! What makes the car so popular among the younger generation is that it is cool and sleek, it has a RWD, it's lightweight with pretty good weight distribution, awesome handling and nice engines to choose from. Most importantly : a low cost to buy and low cost of parts ! Finding a stock 240sx is almost impossible, you will more likely win the lottery !
We will let your comments finish the article, I think they say enough :
"This has been a solid, dependable car and remains so. I am an engineer and take care of my equipment - Oil/lubes often, etc. I have been amazed at the quality of engineering that went into this car's drive train and body assembly (strength and precision).
The closest thing to a porsche I could afford and without the expensive maintenance."
"Owned this car for almost a year now. Has never let me down. For the price I paid, it has amazing looks, fairly comfortable (stock is a bit bouncy, running coilovers right now), and I can get 700 km on 60 L of fuel, which is amazing for a 24 year old car."
"Excellent
Outstanding shape and performance . This version of rear wheel drive has great handling characteristics and great style "
"This car is fun if you like messing around in empty parking lots. It's relatively safe and looks pretty stylish, too. If you want to feel like you're in control of your driving, this is a great car to pick up used.
I would look elsewhere if you intend to race, but if you just want a fun car that's easy to drive and looks stylish, this is the car for you."
