Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What’s the deal?

    c/cars might be tiny in comparison to r/cars but imo post quality here is a lot better, and Lemmy in general seems to attract tech users more than car guys from what I’ve seen.

    It’s also a good thing that on this platform, there’s no teenagers commenting stuff like “are you a Honda salesman 😭😭😭” or “are you 40 💀” just because you buy a practical family car instead of that WRX STI.

      I mean, ngl the WRX is a pretty beast car nowadays. Kinda sad the stick is gone from the Impreza base and the Crosstrek now, though.

        Well we all know that sticks don’t sell in the States so…it’s inevitable for mainstream car brands to drop manual really.

          Meanwhile the new gen tacoma still offers a stick in a truck. Subaru has lost their way.

            I have a 1st gen tacoma, and looking at the new one’s they’re unrecognizable as tacomas.

            Still want one though if someone is looking to donate theirs to a good cause lol
