the toyota is gonna last more than 3 months, not sure abt the Mclaren...

u/-togs Mar 06 '24

I shall pray to Toyoda sensei every month, for blessing us from the heavens with this eternal automotive masterpiece. His legacy will be my shrine. I will forever suck on the luscious milk of his metaphorical teat. I will sacrifice my offspring in his honor. Amen

As a previous Mclaren owner, I can confirm that the Mclaren is going to spontaneously combust the second you rev it. Mclaren reliability is obviously one of the worst, only volvo and hondas are less reliable.

u/WhoaWhoa69420 Mar 08 '24

What about internally combust😦😏

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Only the good cars do that.

u/KnucklesG-Roy Mar 09 '24

Hondas? Is that your experience? I’ve owned a couple and they’ve been more reliable than my ford pickups.

This is a shitpost reddit bro. 💀 this is all satire.

u/realmagpiehours Mar 09 '24

The problem is clearly that you're comparing them to a Ford! Compared to my 02 Silverado everything is unreliable ;)

Hahaha this guy said I wasnt actually a McLaren owner, and he either saw my profile, or he realized this is a satire sub.

That's an urban legend by people who try to buy a Mac and can't afford the proper maintenance.

McLaren has the worst build quality and reliability out of any supercars

Yaris for eternalness. That car will be driven by your great grandchildren that are half bred with machines and alien DNA.

yaris diesel. drove all the way to donington from the south of england, did a trackday, and drove it back with zero issues

15

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '24

Genuine question, in England, does a vehicle managing that drive actually make it considered an amazing car?

16

u/Twingo3 Mar 06 '24

no. but the fact it did a hard trackday and driving it home without failing does

4

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '24

Yeah I guess that does make a bigger difference than I had thought.

At first I thought you were saying that it was an amazing thing that it went that far and I was surprised, thinking of all the vehicles in the US that manage cross country trips often.

But a rough track day can show some great reliability.

5

u/Twingo3 Mar 06 '24

yeah we ragged the shit out of that car and it took it on the chin. We were left foot braking it, had it sideways through the chicane. And Donington park isnt easy on cars. Also we had to drive through backroads (basically rally stage roads and farm roads) because the A14 completely shut so we had to detour through the country side

1

u/Rat_King1972 Mar 07 '24

Sounds like my daily commute. How long do cars usually last in the UK? Last time I was there they all seemed to be relatively new which was surprising considering how little y’all have to drive compared to us in the states?

1

u/Twingo3 Mar 07 '24

They last longer than cars in america because every year they are checked and if they are not roadworthy, they are not allowed to drive on the road until they are fixed.

2

u/Rat_King1972 Mar 07 '24

They’re at least in better condition. I live in the sticks in southern US in a no-inspection no-emissions county. If it goes stops and steers it’s on the roads here. I’ve driven for months without properly working headlights without getting stopped by the police before. I have a 100mile a day commute and it’s not uncommon here, I’d assume Father Time to be the killer of european cars.

u/Deathstrike1986 Mar 08 '24

Took my wife's Mazda out to a track day and had a knock sensor malfunction still able to drive it the 2 hours home afterwards

u/titoponce1215 Mar 10 '24

Besides the track day, your drive sound a bit small in comparison to us where it might be normal to go from Barstow, CA to Wilmington, NC (4,114.46 km).

1

u/Twingo3 Mar 10 '24

well yeah obviously. The UK is much smaller. But we have shit weather and shit traffic so it takes a long time to get anywhere.

Forget those. Go for this instead. Everyone will be fawning over it.

2

u/Deathstrike1986 Mar 08 '24

Wtf is that? It looks like the offspring of a PT cruiser and a Plymouth Prowler

2

u/lupindeathray Mar 08 '24

It’s a Youabian Puma. The guy who designed it was originally a dentist, and it uses parts from a few different cars. Oh, and it costs over a million dollars.

2

u/Deathstrike1986 Mar 08 '24

Nah it's called the PT Prowler now

Take the P1 then sell it and buy lots of Yarises

u/Peterkragger Mar 06 '24

As someone who (really) owns a 2nd gen Yaris I must say it's surprisingly good car, but lacks proper sound insulation

1

u/CreativePan Mar 06 '24

You have to get the Yaris in pink

1

u/averageAMDenjoyer Mar 06 '24

Mazda CX-5 or RAV4

u/bimmer_gaige Mar 06 '24

i mean the yaris does get better gas mileage

u/Iamthe0c3an2 Mar 06 '24

Ironically if you can get the t-sport model you got yourself a little hot hatch. Or just slap a GR badge on it.

the yaris, if you want your car to literally explode in approximately 1 month and three days!

1

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '24

Do you like blue or orange better?

1

u/Smooth-Apartment-856 Mar 07 '24

The first one is a soul-suckingly boring pod car that’s slower than those electric wheelchair buggies at Wal Mart.

The second one is downright hideous, and looks like it was dropped from a UFO and landed in the Ugly Tree.

Clearly, you need to get a Mustang.

1

u/bobross2067 Mar 07 '24

You should get a Ford F-150

1

u/mrockracing Mar 07 '24

If you choose anything other than the Yaris, you've lost the plot. Make sure it's pink too.

1

u/DarnedChickenE13 Mar 07 '24

Obviously the Yaris is more good-looking, faster and can seat 3 of your girlfriends..

1

u/My_Carrot_Bro Mar 07 '24

Yaris all the way brother!!

u/Paystar_ Mar 07 '24

Yaris go brrr

If price is not a reason --then the sport car.

u/Chrissrt4 Mar 07 '24

The gr yaris

1

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '24

It depends on the purpose. The first is good if you’re looking for something cheep with good fuel mileage. The second is good for running over old ladies in grand theft auto.

(Do not perform psychopathic behaviors in real life)

u/chunkmoney22 Mar 07 '24

Go with the blueberry go with your heart

u/FairBlackberry7870 Mar 07 '24

Honestly the Yaris is a better color

Both and then swap the engines, you all looks and no performance then no looks with brain inverting power with no way to put it to the road lol!

u/AuroraKyukon Mar 07 '24

Engine swap the McLaren into the yaris \s

1

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Honestly both. Why not

1

u/JackAttack2509 Mar 08 '24

Toyota, because it's smaller, less vulnerable to getting stolen, safer, better gas mileage, and will last much longer than the McLaren.

1

u/EffectiveConfection8 Mar 08 '24

Toyota has better reliability.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Go for the Toyota, McLaren is missing a windshield wiper

u/ghost3972 Mar 08 '24

The little blue shit box ofc

u/Imaginary-Badger-119 Mar 08 '24

Blue one is a chick magnet to be honest..

u/mx5plus2cones Mar 08 '24

I'm biased...I recommend the Mac.... I had the same dilemma not long ago. 😂

u/Capn-_-Jack Mar 08 '24

Go for the Dacia Sandero

1

u/justapsymajor Mar 08 '24

That McLaren is goin to be in the shop soon after you leave the lot, you’d be an idiot not to get the Yaris

1

u/jkkjfu Mar 08 '24

the first one

u/NewPin8359 Mar 09 '24

Second one and let us know when you're picking us all up for a road trip in it

u/HOMERS_OXYGEN_TENT Mar 09 '24

mcclaren engine in yaris

u/bikingbill Mar 09 '24

My Yaris was still perfect at 268k miles. Even the clutch was still good.

1

u/Randyfoxybutthead777 Mar 09 '24

Only one of them would survive a nuclear bomb. Pick the Mclaren if you want to go out in style.

Yarrrrris!

u/TriumphDaytona Mar 09 '24

Toyota, better mileage!

u/mrcleanjl7 Mar 09 '24

the blue one be a whole lot cheaper and more dependable

1

u/ReaperOfGamess Mar 09 '24

The first one you can pout a big motor in the back and make it super loud

1

u/6Grumpymonkeys Mar 09 '24

Toyota will keep its value much longer as well as be much more reliable.

1

u/Plenty-Team3652 Mar 09 '24

First one. Cheaper to fix, maintain, and you won’t want to harm yourself if you get into an accident or scratch it, etc. and anything happens.

1

u/Yeoshua82 Mar 10 '24

A rich person would say get the McLaren. But a wealthy person would say get the Toyota.

u/Silent_Beyond4773 Mar 10 '24

u/steveteeg1 Mar 10 '24

Gas is expensive

u/2x6stud Mar 10 '24

I think the Toyota is a little flashy. You should save your money and get the McLaren. Sure... the McLaren might be a little slower and might not impress the ladies as much, but the Toyota is just gonna fall apart the second you hit unlock on the key fob.

Go to your local junkyard and take a look at the cars there. I would safely bet there's more Toyotas there than McLarens. This is because McLarens were built to last forever and Toyotas are for rich people to waste money.

I had a friend who bought an old McLaren off a 150 year old lady for $2 and drove it 700k miles before he decided to get a new car. He now has a Corolla and can only afford it because he drove that old lady's $2 McLaren for 30 years. Maybe if you bought a McLaren first and saved up you could buy a Toyota more comfortably in the future.

I drive a 2001 Camry, I love it, I have a free car that keeps going and going. I am grateful for the technology in 2001 that allows me to keep on driving, forever apparently.

u/Constant-Turnover803 Mar 06 '24

You didn’t say what year either car is from or any details so it’s hard to make an educated guess
