Not to go too OT, but my dad still clears the driveway in the winters with his 1980 Honda snowblower. Can’t knock the Honda reliability.

This car is overrated because you can get fresh goat milk but is also underrated for the same reason.

Exactly right there. Take me for a ride in a type R and I can guarantee my savings I won’t be impressed at all, let alone considering what the fucking thing costs being 10 years old.

Ugh, it’s not the changing gears part, I have no problem with 1 speeds, it the braking aspect. At least kids on fixed gears get hit by cars to teach them a lesson. So fucking overrated.

I didn’t spend thousands of dollars on coilovers and heim joint suspension links or driving to georgia to get a clean chassis to rust/ruin that shit by driving it in the winter

not to mention my dd 240 with new dunlop snows and an lsd gets stuck sometimes, would not want to try this with coilover ride height as well.

Any generation. The alternatives are typically faster and more luxurious, yet somehow it still comes out on top in comparison tests.

No matter how good it is, people still see it and associate it with 90’s grand ams because of the badge on the front, despite the fact that other than the GTO it really has nothing in common with any pontiac ever made.

Agreed,i thought the Pontiac G8 was a pretty killer sedan.
