These import cars look cool but they suck to ride in


Now some of these cars a made to go fast, and those are ok. My buddy has an STR4 and thats ok but its gutted on the inside. But i rode in one of those civics thats been converted to go crazy fast it was the loudest, bumpest, most uncomfortable ride of my life. Yea its cool and all to go fast but damn, i guess comfort means more to me.

it's a civic. A cheap base model probably put in with hard aftermarket coilovers and swaybars. Did you really expect it to be comfortable that way?

I don't understand how you can compare a stock dodge with none of the hard aftermarket stiffness added on to a modded civic. First of all civics are cheap as hell so you get what you pay for. Second of all performance mods usually make the ride more uncomfortable that's pretty much common knowledge.

I am a muscle guy, but there is no way real muscle runs quieter than imports. Plus how bumpy the ride is depends a lot on the driver. It also depends on the suspension. If your body did all that modding and left the stock suspension, then it's gonna be a real bumpy ride.

This is silly. Any car modified to go fast is going to be uncomfortable. By definition stock vehicles are rolling compromises. They have to pass emissions, safety regs, be able to be driven on extremely hot and cold days. They also have to pass sound level tests in certain areas and they generally have to be somewhat comfortable or people wouldn't buy them.

Pick whatever racing you deem worthy or relevant and somehow get close to one of those vehicles and you will see how loud and comfortable all of them are. Whether it be NASCAR, F1, WRC, NHRA, Touring Car, etc. There's a reason none of those vehicles are street legal and need a full pit crew and a professional driver.
