TeamAMG69 3rd Gear January 28, 2020 Share January 28, 2020 5 hours ago, Soya said: The term 'sports car' is actually quite loose. As long as it doesn't look like something boring, it's a 'sports car'. Yes, even the Kia Koup - looks great but drives like crap. But as long as it gives owners that special feeling, it has done its job Juz like the term 'SUV' nowadays. A jacked up FWD hatchback limited power n zero offroad ability like Vezel, Qashqai, Cx3, CHR etc is referred to as a SUV true to that to add , some SUV are performance focus, eg AUDI RSQ8 / BMW X6 M Com, which u can bring down to the track, but 99% of the general public may not know their full potential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aventa 3rd Gear January 28, 2020 Author Share January 28, 2020 (edited) Wow didn't expect to garner so many helpful replies. My brother is a working adult, not ASK (Hence, not a troll post during school holidays 😎) Appreciate all the useful insights from fellow bros and sis. Hope it helps everyone as well. He was initially interested in the WRX STI due to 3-5k lower depre than a Type R/EVO, however after factoring insurance and higher repair costs, it might as well be the same cost. Would you rather spend 68k on a 10 year old WRX STI or 68k on a brand new Honda Jazz? (Running cost is definitely different, so is the driving experience) Hmmm...

Bro, joke aside, I think your brother expectation of car is too wide. If he is comparing an STI to jazz. That's is not an apple to apple comparison. If his main considering factor is depre, I will suggest he find smth nice and reliable to drive like a Mazda 3, Honda Civic or Toyota Altis. I like Elantra also. Haha. All these cars that I mention have abundant of stuff in the market to help spruce up and make it sporty. Those ppl who drive an STI or a type R are most likely a purist, They might not be rich, but they have the enthusiasm to maintain and mod the car to their driving pleasures. If your bro is really just looking out for depre, he will find some of the repair so expensive, why must get such coilover, and why the fuel consumption is so bad. all these are considering factor of a "sport cars" Good luck! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I do not drive a sports car myself, I casually suggested the usual models such as Civic Type R, Subaru WRX/WRX STI, Evo 10, Toyota MRS, Mazda MX-5, Mazda RX-8. 2/4/5-seater are fine as he does not have any children. Fellow drivers who are driving such models can kindly advise on the maintenance or any major issues driving these cars? Appreciate every reply! 🙂 https://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=882657&DL=1000 How about this?Since no children. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the lowest CC Porsche one could find in their lineup, easy to the pocket when come to road tax renewal. The other option is the merce SLK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
