Sell my car for an RL

What do you guys think? I love how the RLs look and I could get one with the same or less miles and I would probably gain money out of the deal.

I've always had a soft spot for an IRL but could never get a HHR I just can't stand them, just be prepared for it to be slower unless you dump some money into it.

Could buy the IRL and turbo swap it with the money you save, win win?

As far as speediness goes, from what I've seen on the google (Which I don't exactly trust) the 0-60 time for the IRL is the same as the HHR if not a tad faster. I know it makes 60 less hp but it is also lighter. I also would use it primarily as a dd, I never go to the track, but I do like to have a little fun sometimes. Due to college eating up my funds I would not be able to dump a bunch of money into a turbo swap, tvs, etc. at the moment.

Wait, you're going to give up a newer, more practical car (aka more interior space) with a much better powertrain for an older, smaller, 3 door car with an outdated powertrain? That makes absolutely no sense to me


But I'm just some guy with an opinion

yeah that's why I'm so wishy washy it really doesn't make sense. I'll probably just keep my fat ol lnf. Mechanically, shes in perfect condition anyways. It would be stupid to take a risk on another used car that has who knows whats wrong with it.

RL's are quad coupes ie. 4 doors.

Interesting. I for some reason thought only the passenger side had the goofy suicide door like the Veloster does . A quick google search confirms that I was wrong. A 10 year old car and I'm still learning something new every day .

I like both, but that's a downgrade if you ask me.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. I think made the right choice though.
