Hey everyone!
The car community on Lemmy isn’t the most active and I thought it would be nice to list the cars of its members.
Here is my list:
Present: Seat Leon Cupra 300 St 4 drive
Past: Audi S4 B6 Avant manual, Seat Ibiza Cupra
I was really happy with the 4.2 liters V8 in my S4, but the Cupra gives me more performance, more practicality and is cheaper to run. Would have loved a manual version if you could get it with fake AWD.
I plan on keeping the Leon Cupra for another 10 years before switching to an EV Estate if they appear one day.
What’s your list?
Current:
- Gen 6 Camaro SS 6MT
- MX-5 RF ND2 6MT
- Mazda 3 HB BP 6MT
Past:
- 8th gen Civic 5MT
- 2nd gen VW Scirocco 16V 5MT
Eyes out for:
- Integra Type S / CTR - was looking to replace the Mazda 3, but holding off in the face of economic & financial uncertainty
- 8th gen civic Si - always looking at the listings, but logistically can’t really take a 4th car righy now
- 69 Dodge Dart GT
- 77 AMC Gremlin
- 68 VW Type II (Bus)
- 86 Ford Aerostar
- 89 Ford Aerostar (Extended length)
- 86 GMC 3/4 ton cargo van
- 86 Mercedes 380 SEL
- 94 Volvo 940 Estate
- 98 Volvo V90 Estate
- 06 Honda CRV
I like flat engines …
Current:
- 2009 Porsche 911
Past:
- 2003 Subaru Outback
- 1999 Subaru Legacy
1999 Ford Crown Victoria
2015 Honda CR-Z EX
2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT
How happy are you about the Mach-E GT?
It’s a nice car. Scary to use more than half of the “go” pedal.
If I were buying again, I’d get the extended range RWD model instead.
Overall very happy, but I bought it used and let someone else take the $30k hit on 2 years of depreciation.
Thanks for the answer👍
A Ioniq 5N might tempt me one day, but I’m really looking forward to more Wagon EV’s.
Currently: Cadillac XT4, 370Z
Past: Toyota FJ Cruiser, Honda Element, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Grand Am, Pontiac Grand Prix
How was the FJ? I think about getting one every time I see one on the road.
I loved it but it’s 15-21mpg at best!
Oh that hurts. My 2014 Corvette gets 25mpg average unless I’m on the track.
Model year ascending:
1989 Volvo 240
1995 Toyota Camry
2001 Subaru Forester
2001 Toyota Echo (MT)
2001 Honda Insight (MT) 2010 Hyundai Accent
2014 Ford Fiesta (MT)
2016 Hyundai Veloster (MT)My ford did me real dirty (blown head gasket@51,988 miles) so I decided to start learning more than basics. The Subaru is my current daily driver, but the past couple weeks have been so stupid cold that I’m starting to think there’s ice in my tank, or the fuel pump is going out, or one of the old fuel hoses has cracked. AT hoses got all fucky last winter so they got swapped. Frickin cold hoses man.
My first car was a 2004 Outback. Good riddance, it was a mechanical clusterfuck.
Currently I still have:
- 1991 Honda Accord, my solid daily
- 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, the summer weekend boat (yea I’m a bit block cadillac guy lol). 425 cubic inches of Fuck OPEC.
On the back burner are a couple others.
- 1999 Subaru Forester, 5spd manual. Originally my high school daily. I lifted this one 2" and drove it in the gambler 500 a few times, it’s transmission sounds like a blender and is blowing up so I parked it until I get a chance to swap a new 5spd in - which is hard because they’re hard to find these days.
- 2000 VW Golf TDI, 5spd manual. Got it for free, snapped timing belt at 300k. This was going to become a highway daily but life got in the way and I never had the time or mental energy to really dig into it.
In date order:
- 1984 bmw 3.18i
- 1991 Toyota Camry
- 1991 Honda Prelude si
- 1997 vw Passat vr6
- 2002 Subaru wrx wagon
- 2003 Mazda speed protege
- 2008 Honda civic si coupe
- 2014 Honda crosstour v6
- 2023 Acura RDX aspec (current)
- 2024 Toyota GR86 premium (current)
Prelude takes me back. My dad had an '89 I think, gray with red interior. If I ever strike it big, I’m gonna buy one and restore it for him.
I had it back in 2005, so it had a few years on it when I owned it, but I still miss that car; it was a lot of fun and wish I owned it longer.
- 1997 Mazda Miata (current)
- 2017 Ford Focus RS
- 2015 Scion FRS
- 2002 Subaru WRX

- 1992 Mazda Miata

- 1990 Mazda Miata
- 1988 Pontiac Fiero (the worst)
- 1989 Mazda MX6 GT
Swapping from a 17 Focus RS to a 97 Miata is interesting. Normally that swap goes the other direction. What was the attraction to change?
Mostly because the RS was just too heavy and too powerful to have fun on the roads I’m driving, and the computers mean you barely have any feel anyway. The RS was purchased when I lived in Kansas City, but now I’m back up in the mountains of Southern California. Plus it was impossible to work on and parts were difficult to source. Plus as I list, this one’s not my first and I knew I loved Miatas. So I sold the Ford and bought this 97 NA with 90k miles on it, one owner, and had more than enough money left over to dump $10k into a full refresh and mods. It was fun for a bit to have power, but there’s nothing like driving a slow car fast.
The NA gets far more smiles per gallon than the RS, and anything that breaks I can fix in my own garage on the cheap. I fully intend to own this car until I die.
Also, pop up headlights.
Hell yeah! Out here there is a Miata spec series my son and I have been looking at getting into. We think an NA or NB is what we want to race in the series.
I test drove an NA at one point with 150k miles and I loved it right away. Mazda absolutely nailed the formula with this car!
Spec Miata is rad. Miatas are the most-raced cars in the world, and they dominate in AutoX as well. I almost bought an NB, they’re technically the better car; a little wider, stiffer, and faster. This one was so clean though and the NA is just so classic.
And the NA has charm not recaptured since. But the ND is sexy AF particularly in the Mazda red.
Great question!
I currently drive a 2014 Corvette with a few track mods.

Acura MDX
Honda Odyssey

What kinda bike tho
Used 10 speed with no brakes. Almost killed me once. 0-10 would not recommend.
No make or model? Just some steel tubing taped together?
Lol pretty much. It barely had paint on it and I’m not entirely sure my Dad didn’t take it off of someone’s porch.
Nice

- 1996 Eagle Talon ESi (turbocharged with Hahn Racecraft stage 2 kit)

- 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
- 2015 Hyundai Sonata (still have it)
- 2025 Subaru Forester Premium
Would love to see a picture of your talon if you have one to share!
I don’t, unfortunately. I left it pretty stock besides the Eibach lower springs (can’t remember if it was an inch or what) and slightly bigger exhaust because of the turbo and the muffler changed.
It was red with the black top and fin spoiler, not the raised one like the TSi had.
Sounds beautiful! I had a similar year Eclipse. I loved it but always swooned at the Talons.
That’s funny. I wanted an Eclipse. 🤣
2nd gens were sexy cars!
Absolutely! And then ruined.
Yeeeeeeah. 😢
