    Ah, we all played on phone until I got it on Steam.

    Made it easier to move around.

    If @Empty_Lord @Wulf @xtremewlr @Abeyancer @JKO1998 played I'd jump in.

    It was always fun as hell all playing together

    NA ones aren't worth owning, same repair bill but now it's just boring. Can get way better NA cars for way less.

    I mean my dad's car has 200k he hasn't touched the engine past vanoss valves, gaskets, coils and plugs

    Idles smooth, no noises and gets 27mpg at 85mph

    it's a really good daily in 5 years he'll throw me the keys and I look forward to the day if it isn't a nightmare at that point

    That's typically all the turbo engines need too. I could've gambled on doing plugs and coils, cause likely that's all it needed. But I could care less about the MPG or smooth idling, any car can do that with a far smaller repair bill and more comfortably. They're decent because of the tunability, that and the turbo ones are built with higher HP in mind, they're GDI and forged bottom ends unlike the NA engines. You won't catch me in a NA BMW, that're not competitive there in any segment. But either one NA or turbo is a cheaply built POS when it comes to rubber components and electronics, so might as well buy the one that's fun.

    You'd have to be stupid to buy one of these cars as a daily without a warranty, and to own it long enough to become an issue is a terrible idea. They don't hold up well and they don't resell for shit without a turbo
