Just rented an Avalon last week. Was impressed. Really liked the radar cruise and lane assistance. Not a big fan of Toyota's infotainment stuff, but it works. Ride was comfortable and the engine had decent amount of power. Fit and finish was nice. Overall, I'd be happy to rent one again.
My 96 Cobra every time I had the bottle open! Lol
Wife currently has a 17 Nissan Maxima as a rental from getting rear ended. It’s the platinum edition. Very nice. Told my wife if she wanted to trade her fusion in on one we could go whenever she wanted to.
91 300ZX. Power was decent for a N/A V6, which it was the TT mode, but it handled very well. It was the first car I tried heel toe-ing and I didn’t pretty decent. One of the few JDM cars I wouldn’t mind owing.

Suprisingly enough two cars that I liked were not performance cars. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mustangs through the years, but these two were just totally different.
First was my 82 ElDorado. Slow as hell, handled like a river barge, screamed trailer-park wannabe from every angle. But it was such a cruiser, and made you want to stick a flag through the sunroof and yell "Murica" at the top of your lungs.
Second was my 94 Town Car. Quite, smooth, like driving your couch down the highway. Loved that thing on the long trips I was doing at the time.

Those Talons/Eclipse were nice cars for sure. I believe they has that Tsi tag to them.
My 2013 audi s4. I knew it'd be a good car, but its my favorite car I've ever owned.
The ride, interior, and driving experience were all top notch

great thread, thinking about cars that I enjoyed brings back good memories.
84 dodge short van with 318 and stick. hauled ass and would vaporize the tires at will.
80s econoline with 300 6 and 4 speed. indestructible and went surprisingly fast. deadly in the winter though.
every Subaru I have ever owned.
every 4 runner I have ever owned.
king of all was an 89 5.0 I had in college.

I really enjoyed my NSRT4 I owned for 5 years. Cheap to mod, sounded good for what it was. Sure it had a subpar and cheap interior, and it was fwd, and most of the owners are teens who don’t take care of them (especially nowadays). But the car was just fun to drive for what it was, I drove mine hard and any issue I ever had with it came from my own stupidity.
93 wrangler. Still miss that car. Just the right amount of basic no frills to make it simply perfect. Slow as balls, hard on the back but one of the greatest driving expereinces. Had a simple 2” shackle lift and 31’s to be fun.
Had to bump this because i took my buddy’s AP2 S2000 for a spin and DAMN!
Such a fun car. I was shocked at how that tiny engine came alive from 4K rpm and above.
I’ve driven a miata and this was twice as much fun and just as much of a corner carving scalpel.
Best shift action in the business too-just crisp and buttery with a slight bit of weight behind it.
Im actually considering one now.

My 95 Z28 A4. Bought it back around 01, super clean, low miles and stock besides a weld in flowmaster and eibach sportlines. I only added an off road y pipe an cai so it probably was a low 14 second car but it never gave me any problems and was nice to daily imo. I honestly prefer the 93-97 camaro looks wise over the LS era.
I'll have to say when I bought and modded my 2011 GT. The coyote motor was a blast to rev, on top of that the ghost tune.
You'll enjoy it even more when you blast up Palomar Mountain or head out to Julian on the 76.
1993 Lincoln Town Car. Felt like a pimp half the time and a senior citizen the other.
Ha! I already threw him a text to take it for another spin this weekend. Those are both great places to flex the S2k!You'll enjoy it even more when you blast up Palomar Mountain or head out to Julian on the 76.
I never really gave it a second look because of my weight and height (6’3” and 225) and me looking like im in a damn clown car due to it, but man, it was a fun sled to blast around corners in.

My first auto, the 6R80, 2012 5.0 that I've owned for over 5 years now. Pleasantly surprised in how much fun it is. I was a die hard stick guy in the past.
