hey! Everyday Driver! I have a question, what's a good looking used sports or luxury car that's affordable for college students? I'm talking around 25k..recommendation would be helpful.

[EverydayDriver]

@xxNELLABOYZxx - Lots of good options, especially buying used - good plan there if you shop smart. Will send you a PM as this is a longer answer. Depends a bit on how much utility you need - everything from hatchbacks to two seat coupes available at this price point.

the short hair driver comments on cars like he knows what he's gonna say about the cars after driving them before he drives them. He goes i hate mazda and after driving he goes boom...i don't like mazdaspee3 giving 2/4. And crazily appreciates the body style of volvo...ARE YOU *beep*ing SERIOUS?? That volvo body style don't looks THAT good, c'mon now...so you can calm down there. Im go watch some other car review channel...but not this. Oh yea and unsubscribing too.

[EverydayDriver]

@25tubes - Well we hope you'll watch other reviews on our channel before concluding you don't like what we do. It's not uncommon for a someone to disagree with one of the guys - they rarely agree with each other!

We hope you also noticed that while Paul didn't like the MazdaSpeed3 - Todd loved it.

@ecurules - You're absolutely right, it's very possible to tune the GTI for more power. However, you can tune the others as well. As a result, we test the stock setups of each car. That's the way most people will encounter a car anyway and setup the OEM decided as "this is the way we want it".

[EverydayDriver]

@wagdog1 - We aren't debating that, and we didn't say anything about the quality or amount of tuning provided by the manufacturer. We merely stated why we test the stock/factory setup.

I gotta go with the GTI! All that low end turbo torque makes that car so livable on a daily basic. The Volvo seems lesbian like...the speed3 is for kids. the originator is still king. 200HP goes so smooth it seems like 250+....

I own both mazdaspeed3 and mazdaspeed6! Love em both.

[yomamma866]

Mazdaspeed3 all the way... you people just can't stand the fact MAZDA'S BACK!! Mazdamovement!

[bradyrudesill]

I drive a speed6 and enjoy the car quite a lot. When the bald one was reviewing the speed3 its cool not to like it but give me something that makes sense why you don't like it. It's like herding cats? and there isnt anything to like about this car? not helpful. maybe "first gear clutch engagement blows" or "the transmission is long and notchy" how can you not like a company who prides themselves on the amount of fun their cars are to drive. not a fan boy though would buy other companies

[MrUpgraydde]

Seriously? No T-tops? C'mon Volvo!

I have a 2012 C30 R. Added the PoleStar performance.  Takes the 235HP to about 270 w/ 273 foot pounds of torque. Hands down the better of the 3 ...

[topolocu]

[AlasRotasLuv]

The rear Kiils it!

[Mtn86]

[dcmania111]

im not the biggest volvo fan but my buddy is and works on them, and i can honestly say the r design c30 is 10 times better especially when you have a manual transmission
