These goycarts are ubiquitous here in France because the government came up with retarded fiscal incentives decades ago they can't remove now that the french manufacturers depend on it. Single handedly made me sympathetic to anti-car advocates. May all these tractor engines get scrapped asap.

I think they dont sound bad and having a lot of torque over the whole range of revs makes for really fun driving feel. The ones I've driven weren't very shaky either but maybe I didn't drive the real poverty mobiles or something.

You're either deaf, dumb or young enough to have only driven speaker-enhanced BMWs or Audis.
>and having a lot of torque over the whole range of revs makes for really fun driving feel
No it's absolutely garbage. All the torque is already there from idle, so revving is almost entirely useless, and there won't be much revving anyway before having to switch gears at 3500rpm.
>The ones I've driven weren't very shaky either but maybe I didn't drive the real poverty mobiles or something.
Yeah you've only had recent or premium goycarts. Because back then even a top of the line 505 GTD Turbo felt less fun than a Twingo. It's no coincidence that "Diesel" and "sports cars" are still antonyms, and that the closest thing is the herd of heavy german sedans that slavs/arabs/old men flock to because they can't afford the impracticality and the fuel costs of a real coupe.

They sound like any normal commuter 4 banger, they're all muffled to shit anyways so it's not like you can actually hear it. I'm not getting into a Golf expecting it to sound like a Lexus LFA, to be clear I meant they sound good enough for what they are.
>No it's absolutely garbage. All the torque is already there from idle, so revving is almost entirely useless, and there won't be much revving anyway before having to switch gears at 3500rpm.
I don't get what you mean by this, can you elaborate on revving being useless? I press the gas pedal to accelerate and propel the vehicle forwards, that's what you rev for.
>Yeah you've only had recent or premium goycarts.
The newest diesel I've driven and the one I've driven the most is a friends Audi A3 8P. I wouldn't exactly call it recent but if an Audi A3 is premium to you then sure, I guess. I did own a twingo for a while and I loved it but I'd say the audi is more fun to drive. The high torque makes you feel like you have more power than you actually do.

I kinda disagree, you still hear the characteristic low-rev idle grunting, compared to the more bland but less annoying petrol idle.
>I don't get what you mean by this, can you elaborate on revving being useless? I press the gas pedal to accelerate and propel the vehicle forwards, that's what you rev for.
Sure you press the gas pedal to open the throttle, but even at 1500RPM you already have most of your engine's power, and if you try to reach 3500RPM only thing waiting for you is the turbo running out of breath and the torque dipping. If your Twingo was a 16V you had a like a small taste of what I mean: even with the foot on the floor, a high-revving engine has to reach a certain threshold to get into the powerband. Until 3000RPM you're slow as fuck even when stomping the pedal.
>The newest diesel I've driven and the one I've driven the most is a friends Audi A3 8P. I wouldn't exactly call it recent but if an Audi A3 is premium to you then sure, I guess.
Yeah. The only non-poverty post-2000 diesel I've driven was a Jaguar SUV.
>I did own a twingo for a while and I loved it but I'd say the audi is more fun to drive. The high torque makes you feel like you have more power than you actually do.
Well that's your taste, but I prefer having to stay in the powerband to get the most of the engine. I actually hate the "push in the back" the Diesel insta-torque gives at idle.

Pathetic larp from a commuting wagie. If you don't drive for fun, consider leaving the board, and selling your car. Taking the subway will be cheaper.

Fuck off I didn't start rambling about horsepower figures or lap times of cars I've never driven. Everything in my post was from experience since diesels are the default here. Also if you wanna call me name "boyracer" would be more accurate.

Idk, I guess I either like it or just don't mind it. A subjective thing, I suppose.

So your problem is that at peak HP, the torque drops? Doesn't every car do that?
>Well that's your taste, but I prefer having to stay in the powerband to get the most of the engine.
Don't get me wrong, I love that too, my daily is a normal petrol car after all. I just think diesels are fun in their own way.

Here's another from when I got new lamps for it cause the old ones where faded as fuck.
>this thing is way too good to be wasted commuting
I work from home so it's not getting too many useless miles, just getting groceries like once a week. Im ready to pay the price of keeping this thing in pristine shape, in fact I got a bonus at work so I'm getting bodywork done on it soon to get rid of the small rust spots on the fenders, it's nothing too bad but without those it will be completely rust free and I'd rather get rid of them now than when they get worse

Were they? I saw a couple SLK's with lights like this so I assumed it's like a pre-lift/post-lift thing or an option or something. I guess it's a popular mod. I didn't cheap out though, these are Depo brand, so you know it's quality (allegedly, I've heard good things anyways).
