I need your opinions.
 
Just for fun what does everyone think is the most overrated car ever. I think it is te acura NSX. What do you all think?

guywithastang 05-16-2003 12:39 PM

Also give me underrated. for that one I say turbo bug

Racing Rice 05-16-2003 12:50 PM

Overrated.. Oh, I know! The Civic.. :o


Underrated.. any cheap cars with turbos.. IE. the old SVO, 323, probes, etc. Since they all have decent potential. :yes:

ebpda9 05-16-2003 12:52 PM

overrated: any nissan and vw

underated: beats me

overpriced: honda, nissan vw

nonovurbizniz 05-16-2003 01:07 PM

you really think the nsx is overrated?

I was really impressed with how tight they are... my buddies dad took me for a quick spin in his before he sold it and I though it was WAY better than my dads 911 (non-turbo)

Over-rated- VW vr6s', civics' really any honda/acura (except the nsx I was impressed wouldn't pay that much for it but...), any audi, any bmw.

Under-rated- nissans (especially the early 90's sentra & sentra ser), dsm's (i know people who know, know but their re-sale values are WAY out of wack.) early 90's escort gt's.

Racing Rice 05-16-2003 01:11 PM

Hrm, I wouldnt see DSMs as being underrated anymore.. They are becoming as popular as Honda/Acuras.:o

nonovurbizniz 05-16-2003 01:30 PM

can still get a running awd tsi for 900-1100 bucks. try finding a civic for that much (not ef).

buy yeah they're not really under-rated.

zm_dawg 05-16-2003 01:40 PM

i totally agree w/ DSM pricing....we're looking to get rid of ours stock 91....and it's just crazy...what BB is like....

Racing Rice 05-16-2003 02:00 PM

Wow, where can you get a 1st Gen AWD at for 900-1000? They are atleast 3000 for a decent one around here! Hook me up!:confused:

nonovurbizniz 05-16-2003 02:38 PM

I was looking 6mo ago and found 6 or 7 tsi's that were running needed minor work and were under 1200 bucks... 3 in jersey 2 in ct and 1 in ny I think. cheapest one needed a radiator it was 900 bucks everything else was fine and the radiator only leaked slowly he said he figured you could get it 2-3hundred miles before it over heated.

RSX have gotten old to my eyes, and my girlfriends buddy says it sure isn't worth the $500 a month payments, I agree seeing as he is only 18 thats too much

but hey man NSX? come on...beautiful car;)

Quite true.
As for imports, Civics are definately the most "overrated" cars (by far!)

Twilight02ZX3 05-18-2003 10:36 PM

I would also have to say that most stangs are overrated. The mid 90's are sooooo slow its just embarising. Underated........ I would have to say........... Miatas. Those little things have a lot of potential.

pdiggitydogg 05-18-2003 11:02 PM

overrated=94 series Mustangs and civics
underrated=I dunno

Violent Apathy 05-19-2003 01:30 AM

Overated- Civics, Civics, CIVICS
Underated- Nissan 240SX

There's so many variations though, speed, handling, price, quality, longevity, etc. that can be used to make a car over or underrated......what are people using as their basis?

Overrated as "sports cars": Stangs and Camaros that are really only muscle cars

Underrated: Yugo :bandit:

Yah but I'm curious why people are saying some of these cars are over/underrated. Why are Civics overrated??? I don't get it, cuz I think they're cheap reliable pieces of crap. :)

guywithastang 05-20-2003 12:36 PM

I think most people underrate mustangs. IMO I hear most people saying they are slow, but dont we all buy a car because we can modify them. You cant say a civic is fast stock. I dont think any car is , well maybe camaros and vetts, but those are for old gezzers and trailer trash:rolleyes: The point is I get a car for its potential to go fast , not to be part of the in crowd

I think they are overrated because I'm sick of seeing them everywhere, I'm sick of hearing people talk about them, and I'm sick of owning one. :D
