My question: What is considered an adult vehicle, and if one starts to modify this adult vehicle would it still remain an adult vehicle? ---

Costs more than $15k or not available with a stick. Such as a CTS-V or a used Oldsmobile, neither of which are kids cars. Depends on the mods. ---

Definitely adult: Minivans, SUVs, true family sedans (accord, camry, malibu etc). Adult with spice: BMW’s & Audis etc. Basically anything with room for 4, a comfortable ride, but above average performance. Something you could pick up an important client in from the airport and not worry about first impressions. My GTO would qualify except for the bright red paint and chrome rims. Little too flashy, which brings me to… Borderline adult: STi, Evo, Mustang, Camaro. Sure, you’ve still got room for 4, but the CEO you just picked at the airport may draw some conclusions about you that may or may not be fair. Definitely not adult: 2 seaters, real high performance cars, anything heavily modded. But all that goes out the window if you have 2 cars, one reasonable DD and the 2nd car being something extreme. I would never call Laughingas’s t-rex a kid’s car, part because of the price and part because it’s not like it’s his daily driver. It’s an adult’s toy. EDIT: Another case of nyspeed being douchenozzles to a noob. It’s in gen auto, it’s a thread that could spawn a decent automotive discussion, but people have to hate. I’d expect this over the winter when we all have our racing blue balls and are full of aggression but everyone should be out driving and mellowing by June. ---

something with 4 doors, and more on the luxury side… like an acura tl, i would consider an adult vehicle, but with the 6 speed it could still be fun to romp around town in ( type s of course 😉 ) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/adult-vehicle/49588.md?page=2)
