Isn't the Miata a sports car?

 

It's funny how the universe works, isn't it?

 

It is! Especially the part about dark energy! When do we get a rotary engine that runs on dark energy?

 

My first thought was "what if the bus breaks down?" Nobody ever seems to think of buses breaking down, but I've seen one broken down on the side of the road before. Then again, I guess the bus isn't the only form of public transport.

 

I had a golf, it ran fine for a long time, then all hell broke lose, everytime I use the car it had something rwong, I used to love that car.

just like my 323 gtx, really fumn fast little car but it allways had something I did treat her like **** dought still love that car wish I had it many great memorys

 

heres an my anicdote. friend of mine is a german car tech. i have a 1990 190e, we hop in, and i go why does this thing have a hard time starting. he goes "you're lucky it runs", i believe him

 

I don't care too much about gas mileage. I just drive less when gas goes up. Otherwise I enjoy just knowing it's in the garage there for my enjoyment to look at or drive. I consider it a recreational vehicle made for fun and handling. It's more practicle than a motorcycle and almost as much fun to drive. Water pumps may be less reliable in cars with small high temperature engines like the rotary. Honda motorcycles have problems with waterpump failures. Small engines throw alot of heat. That may be the reason.

I've always steered clear of VW and Audi. They have had a bad rep since the early 80's for electical problems. I would consider a Passat if not for that reason. They can be very high maintenance. After 3 years my 04 rx8 has caused me no problems so far. The numerous TSB and recalls are a nuisance. Oherwise the car satisfies completely. I like it most of all cars I've owned or test drove.

 

Whats wrong with that? The Corvette's engine is incredible.

It's hilarious that you are making a huge deal about something as simple as a water pump.

So is the price difference. It actually makes better gas mileage than alot of cars at 70 mph in cruise. It's still a gas pig if you thrash it and use some of that HP.
