my mom retired one of the most og cars in the 518.

thats right, the teal 96 sentra is no more. she traded it in on monday for this, an 08 toyota yaris. seeing as she doesn’t buy new cars often (these were both bought brand new), don’t expect to see this thing doing burnouts/snow drifting for a long time. i will treat it nicely as its not on its last leg with an engine about to fall out.

i’ve prob. driven it for about a half an hour, its really nice, the center cluster is weird and i’ll never get use to it since its not my main car. but besides that its nice to not have to worry about a car leaving your mom stranded since she goes out to buffalo twice a year by herself with my puppy. and thats promptly where she took it today, the second day she ahs owned it. picked it up yesterday at 10am. when she gets back i’ll give it a nice cleaning and a proper photo shoot…oh i’m thinking tien s-techs for a b-day present lol

OMG, and you guys say that domestic interiors suck!!! That is one hell of an ugly layout IMO!

i personally don’t really care about interiors, never got why people hate some and like others, honestly i like the interior, the center guage placement would take some getting use to, but its nice and simple, and the cupholders are fucking cool.

goofy car, but the Yaris is highly praised for its position in the car world. and its a 5 speed.

Its just super wierd looking in front of you and seeing nothing lol

Saturn Ions are like that too so its not just a foreign thing.

I really wonder what the idea behind that is.

my mom refuses to drive an auto. i have owned more autos then her, i’ve had one.

weirdest part, put on your left directional and on the dash the signal is to the right of you. fucks with my head.

i like it over there then infront of me… honestly i don’t even notice now now anymore when i drive other cars and i drive mine… plus having it in the center lets the passanger see how fast were going

Nice! That cluster would deffinatly throw me off, the funny thing is it doesnet even look like its angled at the driver, it looks flush and straight like theres supposed to be someone driving in the middle

I really dont know if thats something I could get used to… but you know what this means, Monster tack right in front of the steering wheel :ohnoes

never thought i would see the day

thank you, that is ugly as hell

I think those little guys are cute as hell, but the layout of the gauges is sort of weird. I don’t know if I would like looking over there all the time. Too small for me though. Jetta is small enough.

wasn’t saturn the first to do that? :lol

It’s none of the passengers business what your rpms are or how fast your going. I’d never get use to it. But this isn’t a sports car so it’s not that big of a deal

no saturn was not the first

i think the mini, the xb and the saturn all came out at the same time with center placement

Kind of an ugly car I think. But they are economical…

:lol

I dont follow up on the Saturn lineup too often :lol

Sweet! It’s 5 Speed to. Even better

I think Civics get better mileage actually
