Driver's cars under 50K are everywhere. This list highlights some of the best driver's cars under 50,000 dollars.

1. Audi S4

Audi S4
By Car and Driver

The Audi S4 looks like any old Audi A4 as it shares many exterior features. However, it is not. There is a supercharged V6 that makes 333 horsepower. Pair that supercharged motor to AWD and you have a family sedan that hits 60 miles per hour in around 4 seconds. The Audi S4 is a classic distinct Audi S model. It is powerful, 4 wheel drive, quick, fun to drive, and fast. It also looks like a normal Audi, so it is a proper sleeper car that is a blast do drive.

2. Mini Cooper S

By Car and Driver

The Mini Cooper S is an average Mini Cooper, also known as the perfect hot hatch. However, it is also an expensive hot hatch too. It starts at around 24,000 dollars, and that is a lot of money for a hatchback. However, it is a Mini. That means that is it will do 0-60 in around 6 seconds with just 181 horsepower. It also means that is has "Go Kart like handling", which means that it is nippy around corners. With both of these elements combined, it is one of the most fun cars to drive.
 
3. Audi S3

Audi S3

The Audi S3 is a baby S4. It means that it is lighter and smaller. It also means that it has less power. However, that doesn't matter. The Audi S3 has a 2.0 T engine with 292 horsepower. If you want to make it quicker, an engine tune will make the car much more powerful. It has AWD and one of the finest dual clutch transmission. With all these factors combined, it is one of the quickest and most fun cars to drive. 0-60 is achieved at around 4 seconds. The Audi S3 is small enough for it to be nippy but big enough for it to be safe and comfortable. There are many touches in the S3 from other Audi performance models such as the flat bottom steering wheel from the Audi R8 and the optional sport's seats from the Audi S4.

4. Subaru WRX Sti

Subaru WRX Sti

The Subaru WRX Sti is pretty much the champion of world rally cross along with the now dead Mitsubishi Evo X. It is popular among Subaru fans for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is the all wheel drive system. It is designed for rally cross. It means that driving the WRX is fun. Because of the all wheel drive system and the turbocharged engine that makes 305 horsepower, the WRX Sti is also quick hitting 60 in about 4 seconds. The best part is that is costs below 40,000 dollars, so this is a good bang for the buck and an excellent alternative to the Audi S3. The WRX is good in all conditions of driving except for rock climbing because it is too low. On dirt, snow, gravel, and tarmac, traction is maintained well.

5. Ford Fiesta ST

Ford Fiesta ST

The Ford Fiesta ST is much different from the Ford Focus RS shown below. It is much lighter, much weaker, and has FWD. However, it is still just as fun to drive. Because it is tiny and light, you could throw it around corners. The Ford Fiesta ST is the perfect car to drive around the mountains. It is low on power as it only has 197 horsepower. It is low on weight as it weighs around 2700 pounds. It has a 6 speed manual for full control of shifts. All these features make it into a brilliant driver's car and make this car just fun to drive. To make life better, the Ford Fiesta ST starts at around 20,000 dollars, so it affordable to people who want to have fun and don't want to burn their wallet.

6. Ford Focus RS

Ford Focus RS
By Noebu

The Ford Focus RS is awesome. It is my favorite hot hatch. It has all wheel drive made by Ford's racing team, not Ford's average car team. This makes a difference as the one made by Ford's racing team is meant for track days and things like that. The Ford Focus RS doesn't just have grip though. It also has a drift mode, which car guys like me are all delighted to hear. The Ford Focus RS also has an insane amount of power compared to it's rivals in America as it makes 350 horsepower, which is pretty good for a turbocharged 4 cylinder engine. AWD, a fairly low amount of weight because it is a small hatchback, and a six speed manual that gives you control of all shifts.

7. Mazda MX-5 (Miata)

Mazda MX-5 (Miata)
By Mario von Berg

The Mazda MX-5 is pretty much the same thing as the Alfa Romeo 4C, except for the fact that it has a manual transmission, lighter, and cheaper. The Mazda MX-5 weighs about 2300 pounds. It has a 6 speed manual that makes you the real driver of the car. It has a manual top that makes Sunday drives even sunnier and brighter.  It has a tiny naturally aspirated 4 cylinder that makes 155 horsepower in the front but behind the axles so it is technically a mid-engine car. Mid-engine cars provide better weight distribution, which is better for handling. Though 155 horsepower may not sound like much, you must remember that the Miata is light.

8. Toyota 86/ Subaru BRZ

Subaru BRZ
By Autoblog

The Toyota 86/ Subaru BRZ is the closest competitor to the Miata shown above. It has little power (about 205 horsepower). It is light as it weighs about 2600 pounds. Best of all, it has a 6 speed manual so holding red line isn't a problem anymore. It is not as quick, but just as fun to drive. If it isn't fast enough for you, boosting it is reliable since the engine is quite tough. These elements make these twins some fine driver's cars. Like the Miata, Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 have so many simple touches that make driving better. The tachometer is in the middles so you know when to shift. The digital speedometer is easy to comprehend. The dashboard is logically lay out so adjusting things is simple.

9. Volkswagen Golf GTI

Volkswagen Golf GTI

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is a blast to drive. It is one of the original hot hatches and is still around for you to enjoy. Though it is front wheel drive, Volkswagen was kind enough to add a special differential that eliminates understeer that is caused by front wheel drive. 0-60 is achieved in around 5 seconds, which isn't such a bad time for a little hatchback like this. The Golf also equips the right transmissions to having fun in the car. There is the 6 speed DSG automatic transmission as your first choice if you just want the speed but don't want the extensive pedal pushing. Shifting for the DSG is really quick since it is a dual clutch. There is a 6 speed manual if you are more serious about driving. The manual gives you more control of shifts and is just the better way to go if this is a weekend toy. One of the best parts about the Golf GTI is that it is more than just a weekend toy since it could be a 5 door hatchback big enough for a family.

10. Audi TT

Audi TT
By M 93

The Audi TT is a little all wheel drive sport's car made by a German car manufacture that knows what they are doing. It has a little turbocharged 2 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder that makes 220 horsepower. It also has a dual clutch transmission that ensures proper shifts that are quick. The 4 cylinder and the transmission make the TT a blast. It is so tiny and nimble that is is quite a sensation to drive. The Audi TT is one of the more fancy cars on this list. It has tons of things that make it a proper driver's car. Everything is in the center where the driver is, so the driver could focus more on the road. The dials are all easy to read. There is nothing on the center stack, which encourages the driver to look on the road and to have fun in the little TT.

9 Cars That Will you Help you Survive the Zombie Apocalypse

The zombie apocalypse will probably never happen. However, it it ever does, there are some vehicles that may come in handy when it comes to surviving the zombie apocalypse. Here are 10 cars that will help you survive the zombie apocalypse. This list will be based on fuel range, space, and offroad capability.

1. Ram 1500 Ecodiesel

Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 Ecodiesel is great for lasting a long time on a full tank. There is a fuel range of about 700 miles, which will be needed during the zombie apocalypse after gas becomes scarce and refueling is dangerous. The Ram 1500 Ecodiesel has plenty of space to store your guns in the bed and in the available ram box. If you want to take passengers, there is sufficent rear seat space. Interior strage is because, mostly because of the 2 big glove boxes. The Ram 1500 Ecodiesel is available with 4 wheel drive and also has a tall ride height so it could crawl though snow.

2. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon will make sure that you could hide from the zombies.The Rubicon has a locking differential, an electronic sway bar disconnect, and a Rock Trac 4x4 system. It means you could conquer the Rubicon trail and hide up there away from zombies. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon does not have a lot of rear seat or trunk space. However, you could go for the Unlimited model or add an aftermarket roof rack if you want. A great problem with the Wrangler for zombie apocalypse survival is the poor gas range of about 300 miles. The other problem is that the Wrangler's poorly assembled doors may be ripped off by a zombie.

3. Mercedes Benz G Class

Mercedes Benz G Class

The Mercedes Benz G Class a lot like the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in terms of looks. Everything else is quite different. First of all, the Mercedes Benz G Class will not fall apart like the Jeep. It is also more luxurious that the Jeep. However the G Class probably cannot climb the Rubicon trail, but it could survive the offroading in Moab, Utah. The Mercedes Benz G Class has a lot of trunk space and rear seat space. You could probably sleep in the car with the seats folded down. One problem with the G Class is the fuel range. It has about 300 miles of fuel range so you need to drive conservatively.

4. Toyota Land Cruiser

Toyota Land Cruiser
By Tokumeigakarinoaoshima

Though the gas range may be a mere 300 miles, it is practically indestructible, especially since it has Toyota's high quality assembly standards. The Land Cruiser literally is popular among terrorists because it is indestructible. You will not break down. The Toyota Land Cruiser can climb anything, maybe except for the Rubicon trail because it is too long.  The Toyota Land Cruiser is so big that you could practically sleep inside of it. With both rows folded down and some added furniture, it is practically a house for one trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. The Toyota Land Cruiser comes with an optional refrigerator and tons of storage for ammo and survival tools that may be needed when zombies want to tear you to pieces. 

5. Chevrolet Tahoe

Chevrolet Tahoe

One of the most popular full size SUV's is also one of the best cars to survive the zombie apocalypse with. It has about 600 miles of fuel range, so you don't need to refuel often. Like the Toyota Land Cruiser, it is tough. It is also very large. There are plenty of storage spaces. The glove box is the size of the glove box found in a Silverado, and the Silverado has a very big glove box, so big that I could fit my head inside. The Chevrolet Tahoe could also offroad. However, due to a not so tall ride height and long wheelbase, it cannot go on extreme trails such as the Rubicon trail. 

6. Land Rover Range Rover Diesel

Land Rover Range Rover
By Thesupermat

When it comes to great fuel economy, diesel is always the way to go. The Range Rover Td6 has about 600 miles of range, which is pretty good. The Land Rover Range Rover is well known for its offroading abilities. However, I don't think that it could climb the Rubicon trail because it is too long. However, because of the long wheel base, it has a lot of space inside for storage. One great problem with the Range Rover is the very questionable reliability. Though I never said reliability was part of the criteria, it is a great problem for the Range Rover. All of your offroad gear could fail on you in a heart beat.

7. Ford F150 SVT Raptor

Ford F150 SVT Raptor
By Car and Driver

The Ford F150 is great for surviving the apocalypse. However, the F150 SVT Raptor is so much cooler to survive in. Though fuel economy is unknown for the 2017 model, it is safe to assume that it is around 400-500 miles of range. The Ford F150 SVT Raptor has a big glove box, an entire truck bed, and some other compartments so it is safe to say that it has plenty of space.The Ford F150 SVT Raptor is the coolest vehicle ever. Running through the desert hitting jumps and squishing zombies at the same time will just be like all those zombie movies. The SVT Raptor could easily climb some hardcore offroad trails.

8. Ford Expedition

Ford Expedition

The Ford Expedition is a lot like the Cheverlot Tahoe. It is big, tough, and has a very good fuel range. It has about of 600 miles of range on a full tank. The Ford Expedition has 2 different versions. There is the long wheel base version and the short base version. The short wheel base one is enough to store your equipment. It is also less likely to get caught on rocks when offroading. The long wheel base is long enough to become a little house, but it is hard to maneuver when going offroad away from the zombies.

9. Toyota 4Runner

Toyota 4Runner
By order_242

The Toyota 4Runner is one of Toyota's only body on frame SUV's. It is also one of the most capable Toyota SUV's for offroading. It is unsure whether this thing could climb the legendary Rubicon trail, but it is possible with some mods. The Toyota 4Runner has an excellent fuel range of 500 miles. The Toyota 4Runner is a good zombie car. It has a reputation for being tough and invincible. Another element that helps it be a good zombie car is that there is plenty of storage space. There are a ton of storage areas for equipment and ammo. It is also long enough for sleeping inside, put not too long for it to be useless on hard offroad trails.

Top 7 Sports Sedans On the Market

Sports sedans are great. They could carry the family around on the weekend Costco trip and could power through the Saturday track day at the race track. Here are the top 10 sports sedans on the market.

1. BMW M3

BMW M3
By ilikewaffles11

The BMW M3 was the original sports sedan. The M3 is still one of the finest sports sedans in the market today. Being the RWD hooligan it is, pulling drifts is easy and fun, as long as you have the right settings for the steering, suspension, and throttle response. For 2015, the M3 was brought back down to a twin turbo 6 cylinder from a hefty V8 found in the E92 M3. This makes the M3 lighter and more efficient. It also makes some people cringe when they here another V8 car dead.

2. Dodge Charger Hellcat

Dodge Charger Hellcat

The Dodge Charger Hellcat really isn't a sport's sedan. It is more like the scariest sport's sedan ever. If you accidentally take the red key that unleashes all 707 horsepower and accidentally put your foot down, you will go from Los Angeles to Canada in 10 seconds. Because the Hellcat has 707 horsepower and doesn't have all the touchy traction control that the Germans have, it is scary to drive. However, if you could drive it without dying, then it is rewarding. Hearing that supercharger as you foot hits the throttle is rewarding. Feeling the shear speed match the sound of the V8 is amazing.

3. Cadillac CTS-V

Cadillac CTS-V
By Jason Odin Lee

The Corvette ZO6 is a desirable supercar. However, some people can't buy it because they have a family. Luckily for those individuals, Cadillac has come up with a solution. It is the CTS-V. The CTS-V has the same 635 horsepower supercharged V8 as the Z06. Though the CTS-V isn't as insane as the Corvette ZO6, it is still crazy and is more luxurious than the Corvette. It also has some cool features such as an integrated GoPro style camera that allows you to record your driving and post it on the internet and magnetic ride control that makes cornering amazing.

4. Subaru WRX Sti

Subaru WRX Sti
By Kieran White

It you want a proper rally car, then there is only 1 option left and that is the Subaru WRX Sti. Sadly for 2015, the hatchback version was killed off. The Subaru WRX Sti is that bombastic sedan with the ridiculous wing and the loud exhaust. It has a well known all wheel drive that turns this car from all talk no action to fun. It also has a turbo charged four cylinder that makes 305 horsepower so it is quick. Subaru did a very good job for the 2015 models. The parts actually feel high quality now and the not flimsy or cheap as the previous generation. 

5. Mercedes Benz C63 AMG S

Mercedes Benz C63 AMG S

The Mercedes Benz C63 AMG S isn't really a sport's sedan. It is more of a luxury cruiser. However, it you want to take it to a track day, you will not be disappointed. The C63 is a proper AMG. There is a handmade AMG V8 inside the C63 and it sounds just as mean as the other AMG motors. It is also as luxurious as the other AMG's. The interior looks nice and everything feels great and high quality. It's a lot like stuff that you find out of an S Class.

6. Maserati Ghibli S4

Maserati Ghibli S4
By nakhon100

The least expensive Maserati you could get is one of the best. It is powered by a Ferrari V6 that makes 404 horsepower. Because the engine is made by Ferrari, it sounds great. It also The Maserati Ghibli S4 pulls, partly because this is 4 wheel drive, and partly because it has a Ferrari engine. The Maserati Ghibli S4 is a proper Italian sports sedan. Not only is it fast, but it also luxurious. The seats are really nice. The leather is legit. The trimming inside the car looks nice and feels great. Everything come together really well inside the Ghibli.

7. Tesla Model S P90D

Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S P90D is one of the quickest cars ever. 0-60 is achieved in 2.8 seconds. That insane time is in the region of million dollar hypercars, Godzilla (Nissan GTR), and other more expensive supercars. The P90D has been pinned up against traditional supercars and has won because of the instant acceleration that an electric car has unlike a traditional gas powered car. The Tesla Model S P90D is one of the most advanced cars on the market. There is partial autopilot and a feature that will park your car for you. There is also a 17 inch touchscreen that allows you to control everything.

Why the Camry is so popular

Sometimes when you are cruising done the street in you average compact sedan, you wonder why the Toyota Camry is so popular. There are very excellent reasons for this. In this article, I will be talking about why the Toyota Camry is so popular.

Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry is one of the best selling midsize sedans along with the Honda Accord. It is famed across the world. It is a practical, reliable, and affordable, which is why it is so popular among families.

Toyota Camry

One of the main reasons why the Camry is so popular is the reliability. It is very reliable if you don't know yet. It is on consumer report's top 10 cars that will make it to 200,000 miles. My dad's Camry made it to 200,000 miles and was 19 years old before being donated to the Humane Society. Americans don't want to spend money on cars that break down all the time. They want something cheap to maintain so it they can save their money for other things.

Toyota Camry

Another reason why the Camry is so popular is because of the practicality. It is perfect for families of 4. Rear seat space is very spacious and plentiful. It means fitting adults and children comfortably is not an issue. Trunk space is also plentiful. It has 15.4 cubic feet of space, which isn't bad. It is enough for the occasional weekend Costco trip. If you need more space, you could fold down the rear seats.

Toyota Camry

The final reason why the Camry is popular is because of the price. It starts at around 23,000 dollars, which is more than it's competitors. However, it's not that much more as the difference is about 1000 to 2000 dollars. Not only that, the Camry will likely last longer than most of it's competitors, so you are getting more with the added money.

To sum it all up, the Camry is a great family car, commuter car, and a long lasting car. It matches what American buyers want. The people want a long lasting, spacious, and comfortable car for everyday use.

Blogger is Glitching on Me (Sorry)

Blogger has been glitching on me. Sorry. I will try to fix it, but it's quite annoying. There are a ton of glitches with this website. For example, the new Camry post has different fonts and spacing in between the lines. It looks normal on the editing page, but it keeps doing that on the version that you see. Blogger, it you are reading this, please fix it and help. If you have any suggestions, then tweet them on twitter to me. Here's my twitter page. Twitter

Why I Hate the Prius

The Prius sucks. The technology is old. It is ugly, and it is slow. For this article, I will go in depth of why I hate the Toyota Prius.

Toyota Prius
 By Tokumeigakarinoaoshima

The first part is obvious. It is slow, very slow. Now I know that people will say that it's not supposed to be a speed machine, and I agree. However, it is so slow that it is scary to accelerate on the highway. It takes almost 10 seconds in order to get to 60. That sucks, even for such a weak hybrid. What could Toyota do to fix this issue? They could make a plug in hybrid that has both a powerful engine and a powerful electric motor. The powerful electric motor with provide torque for acceleration and the powerful motor (should be about 200 horsepower) will provide speed. The other thing that Toyota could do is make the Prius lighter. The weight reduction will help acceleration, speed, and fuel efficiency.

Toyota Prius
 By Tokumeigakarinoaoshima

The second part of why I hate the Prius is that it is ugly. It really is. The Prius doesn't look like a car. It looks like a mutated lizard. Just look at it! The head lights are all messed up. They have like 2 triangles connected together. The tail lights are literally 2 triangle connected together again. The shape of this car is in between a hatchback and a sedan. Honestly, that just looks weird. It's indescribable.

Toyota Prius
By Tokumeigakarinoaoshima

The third part of why I hate the Prius is that it uses old technology. It is a hybrid. Not a plug in hybrid, a regular old hybrid with technology that has been around for 17 years. Of coarse, there is the Prius Prime. However, that is more expensive than the regular Prius. It is also very slow and still scary to drive when getting on the highway. The solution to this problem is to ditch the hybrid system and go with a standard plug in. The plug in could have a bigger electric motor and a bigger battery. This allows the car to be more efficient. It could also mean that the Prius could have a bigger engine so it means it could be faster.

Top 10 Luxury SUV's

Luxury SUV's are everywhere. There a lot of them. However, not all of them are great. Here are the top 10 luxury SUV's.

1. Mercedes Benz G Class

Mercedes G Class

The Mercedes Benz G Class is a softened up version of the military G Class.  The reason I say that is because it looks all military on the outside, but it is luxurious on the inside. What's so great about the G Class is that it could actually offroad. The G Class is very flexible too, which means no fancy tech is needed. There are also 3 different locking differentials, so you could maximize your offroad abilities.

2. Land Rover Range Rover

Land Rover Range Rover

The Land Rover Range Rover is pretty much the opposite of the G Class. There is a bunch of fancy tech such as air suspension and automatic adjustment for the offroading modes that automatically adjusts what offroad you are in depending on the terrain and conditions. The exterior doesn't look like a tough military Land Rover anymore. It looks softened up. Land Rover even abandoned the body on frame design and went for the Uni-body design. The interior is also very nice apart from the awful navigation system that doesn't work.

3. Porsche Cayenne

Porsche Cayenne

The Porsche Cayenne is an SUV designed with mothers, performance, and utility in mind. It doesn't do a bad job of bundling all those things together. There are different offroad modes. Though you may never use them, it is still nice to have them there. The power of this car is great as all engine options have decent power. Cornering isn't bad, especially for an SUV.

4. Porsche Macan

Porsche Macan
By Charles01

The Porsche Macan is Porsche's compact SUV. It is quite good apart from the fact that it looks nothing like a Porsche. Everything else is Porsche. Though cornering may not be as good as the 911, it is still best in class. Not only that, seating position is pretty good. It is higher up so you could see, but not so high that it tips when it corners. 

5. Bentley Bentayga

Bentley Bentayga
By Rijinatwiki

The Bentayga isn't a luxury SUV. It is one of the most luxurious SUV's ever.  The options are insane. There is an optional Bertling Clock that is made of diamonds and gold. The Bentley Bentayga  coaxes you in full luxury. All the dials and switches are beautiful. The seats and other components of the interior are made of leather. The wood trim is in huge slabs. It is found all around the interior. The Bentayga is one of the most powerful SUV's. It has 600 horsepower.

6. Lexus LX570

Lexus LX570
By Tokumeigakarinoaoshima

The Lexus LX570 is Lexus's full size SUV. It is based off the  mighty Toyota Land Cruiser. However, the price is only 5 grand above the Land Cruiser, and it is a Lexus. The Lexus LX570 has all the same offroad equipment as the mighty Toyota Land Cruiser, so it is as great offroading abilities as the Land Cruiser. Not only that, you get the reliability and luxury of a Lexus. The LX570 is a great overall package.

7. Jaguar F-Pace

Jaguar F-Pace
By Tokumeigakarinoaoshima

Though the Jaguar F-Pace doesn't seem necessary, it is still the first Jaguar to think about mothers that are rich. You may be thinking, this is the same thing as a Land Rover. However, you are quite wrong. Though Jaguar and Land Rover may be owned by the same brand, it doesn't mean that they build the same SUV's. The styling of the F-Pace is different. It looks aggressive like a Jaguar. Not only that, the driving experience is different. It is much more fun than you average Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

8. Audi Q7

Audi Q7
By Norbert Aepli, Switzerland

The Audi Q7 is the coolest SUV ever. The Audi Q7 is equipped with cool technology that isn't  available on the competitors. For example, it has Audi's Virtual Cockpit. You won't find it on you average BMW X5. What Virtual Cockpit is where the place that you speedometer would normally be is a configurable screen that displays things such as navigation, speedometer, and etc. The Audi Q7 also available with air suspension that changes the height a little bit. However, it is only raised by half an inch so offroading still isn't really possible. The Q7 is more of a mom wagon.

9. Tesla Model X

Tesla Model X
By Christopher Ziemnowicz

The Tesla Model X is the most advanced SUV. There are so many unique features, not just for SUV's but for all automobiles. The Model X is equipped with the closest features to auto pilot including automatic steering and autonomous parking. It is also equipped with a panorama wind screen that allows you to see a lot more outside. The best part is the air filter. The air filter can filter out most allergens and even has a bio defense mode. The air filter is controlled by the 17 inch touchscreen inside.

10. Cadillac Escalade

Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade is the best American Luxury SUV. It is based off the Chevy Tahoe, so it is very truck like. However, it is much more luxurious than your average Tahoe. For example, there are available massaging seats. It also has Cadillac Cue. Though Cue may suck,the display makes the interior look very classy. Speaking of which, the Cadillac Escalade has a very nice interior. There shiny surfaces everywhere that not only look great but feel great.
