You'll likely learn more doing that than you would at any other driving event. I was already pretty good and they still helped me out with a number of things.max225 wrote:I was just hoping to learn something and get about 30 min to 1 hr of driving in to hopefully destroy my tires and use that as an excuse to pick up a set of 17s with summer tires becausetroyguitar wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 7:26 pm I have done that one and know a number of the instructors.

Yep RIP. I always forget the rear windows pop out in E46 coupes. Are they power operated?
I would use them all the time in my truck if they opened/closed with a switch. I can't reach them while driving.

I really like these inside and out. What do 8spd Kamry cost these days?Johnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 9:48 am Too bad that H/K's DCT gets poor reviews for durability and shift quality. I'd entertain an Elantra sport turbo with the DCT.
Like, I bet you could get this for $15k.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the rental shitbox one. I thought it needed more power and a non-rubber steering wheel but that was about it.CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 9:52 amI really like these inside and out.

H/K infotainment is the best in the game. I had a rental Elantra in the spring and I enjoyed it too. Does the sport have auto rev match on the manual? That might make it more palatable in traffic and less of a reliably concern.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 9:56 amI was surprised by how much I enjoyed the rental shitbox one.

Camrys are about the same actually. I like them a ton. They're rather large ish but maybe not that big a deal overall? They handle great and deal with bombed out roads surprisingly well. I think the H/K cars slay them in infotainment, features, connectivity, etc.
Kamry uses premium fuel that's a hard no, dog.
The new Sonata with the streaky LED headlights looks nice asf.
Yea and then $1795 dealer processing feeJohnny_P wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 9:48 am Too bad that H/K's DCT gets poor reviews for durability and shift quality. I'd entertain an Elantra sport turbo with the DCT.

That is a good point on rev match... would make the manual a bit more bearable. But starting from a stop 500x a drive is whatCaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 10:01 amH/K infotainment is the best in the game. I had a rental Elantra in the spring and I enjoyed it too.

I think that'd be a good option to drive for a bit while remaining in something sporty. My bro says he gets 30+ mpg in his but I'm not sure if it takes donkey piss or premium.
A low level brand with their lowest branded car has got to run on piss... otherwise
