- What's up guys, it's Giles.
Before we get into today's video,
we just watched the 12 days of Christmas deals.
That means that we are gonna have a deal every day
coming out for the next 12 days.
So you wanna stop in the fitmenindustries.com
each day to check out what deal
just went live.
So go check it out.
fitmenindustries.com it's live right now.
Enjoy the video.
You remember one of those days where you go to the garage,
you might be running a little behind for work already,
So you're already in a little bit of a rush.
You hop in a little private car,
strapping the hardest,
hit the ignition
(beats whooshing)
and nothing.
You got nothing.
No lights.
No crank.
nothing.
No worries though.
Surely you have jumper cables somewhere.
Like they gotta be somewhere within that messed up stuff.
It only takes about 10 minutes to locate them.
And then you have to call your roommate,
or significant other over,
to move their vehicles.
So you can jumpstart yours.
And now that you're running even more behind,
you don't think to take a look at anything else
before you get going,
and then you realize like halfway to work
that you're not going to make it
because like you're gonna run out of gas
because your car gets to like five miles to the gallon.
But, (claps)
that is,
a very,
specific scenario.
However, if anything like that has ever happened to you,
or continuously happens to you,
first of all I'm sorry.
And second of all,
I got some news my friend.
It might be time to go pick yourself up
a daily driver.
And I know,
right I know
the thought of going and getting another car
just for the purpose of actually doing a car thing
and getting you from point A to point B
sounds pretty boring.
But it doesn't have to be.
Lucky for you.
We put together a quick list of some great daily drivers
that can be picked up for relatively cheap.
And that's exactly what we're going to be going over today.
But real quick before we go ahead and just dive
into today's video,
please if you haven't done already,
don't forget to subscribe.
It helps us out a ton.
And if you're looking for wheels, tires or suspension
for your private car
(beep) bugs
or your new daily drivers.
Don't forget to check us out over fitmentindustries.com.
Anyway! (claps)
First up on the list,
we have a car that really just seems to find
its way in about almost every automotive list out there.
And that is practically for a good reason.
And that of course is the Honda Civic Si.
The Honda Civic has been around since the early 70s,
and it's always just been one of those cars
that just gets the job done.
They're great.
All around commuter cars.
However, Honda can't just leave it at that.
No, sir.
In the 1980s we saw the introduction
of the first Si trim,
also branded the Honda CRX Si,
and then later the Honda Civic Si hatchback.
Offering a little more horsepower
and in some sportier looks,
the Si was created and catered more
towards the enthusiast market.
Generations after generations of the Civic and the SI trim,
have led us up to now currently
the 10th generation of the Honda civic.
Giving us a large amount of them on the market
with plenty of generations and styles
to choose from,
available in both two door,
four door,
automatic and manual options.
The Civic Si is a perfect candidate for a fun daily driver.
It really kind of goes without saying,
that the Civic is a massive platform
for the aftermarket world.
Meaning that parts are relatively pretty cheap.
And even though we are talking about cars
for daily driving,
it doesn't mean that you can't throw
some modifications at it.
Wheels tires and suspension of course,
great starting point.
But things like a lip kit or an exhaust,
just simple things like that to really make it your own.
And it's not gonna affect the daily drivability
of the car at all.
Civic size are pretty readily available for the most part.
When you use some researching.
and they're not going
for all that much,
depending on the generation.
Even if you don't wanna swing an Si trim,
you can still find some manual options
in some other trims as well,
and they can work just as good.
If you spend a little extra cash
and find yourself in a newer model
where you won't have to worry about any maintenance issues,
or cosmetic issues as far as rust or anything like that,
you're gonna be good to go.
Next up on the list.
We kick it over to the European car world
and talk about one of my favorite daily cars,
that I have ever owned
which is a 3 Series BMW.
Back in the day when I was looking around
for a cheap daily for winter,
and stumbled across a $900 e36 325i.
I had just under 200,000 on the odometer
was a four door manual transmission
and was rear wheel drive.
Now, probably wouldn't recommend that specific load out
for a reliable daily,
but hey it last me five years.
3 Series BMWs are just an all round fantastic platform
to have some fun with,
that you can make look good
and it is going to be a fun comfortable daily drive
for you.
with them too,
you get quite a few options to choose from as well.
Two door,
four door,
and even a good old goon.
Rear wheel drive in,
all wheel drive options available as well.
The E90 E92 generations,
of the 3 Series are an extremely popular platform
with their naturally aspirin engines
and even turbo six cylinder engines too.
The 335is being some of the more popular of the bunches.
They come with a pretty decent tuning potential
which always brings
just a little more fun to a car you're gonna be driving
the majority of the time.
Price really ranges all over the place
depending on the year,
the model, the mileage
and all that.
But if you can find one,
with the specs that you're looking for,
and it's been well taken care of,
you can have a good time
with your own 3 Series BMW.
Car number three and then let's see some fun
great daily drivers
will be one that's a little near and dear to my heart,
which of course is a Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ.
These cars can be scooped up for insanely cheap right now.
And they are a fantastic daily driving machine.
Owning an FRS myself.
It is my daily drive
during the summer months up here in Wisconsin.
However, I do know plenty of people
that run theirs year round through the snow and all.
A rear wheel drive manual co-op
that has a ton of aftermarket support.
And they are a ton of fun to drive nonetheless.
Not really much else to really say other than
if you're looking for some more features,
and a little more comfort,
look for some of the newer years
as they've come with some more features,
and comfort options,
that may make your daily drive a little bit better.
So skip past the 2013 and 2014 models.
Kinda going along with that,
if you want to live the Subaru flat engine lifestyle,
and you have a little more to dish out,
you can find yourself having a good time with WRX.
All-wheel drive makes it great for winter.
Four doors makes it a little more practical.
And of course, you get the added turbocharger as well.
Now I know.
WRX is tend to get kind of a bad rep for not being
the most reliable,
and it may sound odd for a daily driver.
But a lightly model WRX is kind of the go-to
around here anyway,
because they can handle the weather
and they are still fun to drive.
Which leads us to our last car of the day.
When I was going around talking to the team
about some of the cars
that they think are some fantastic fun daily drivers.
There was one guy that swore up and down
that he had the best
daily driver of all time.
And you know who that was?
It was Mr.Dakota.
And you know when he said,
Oh yeah, you already know.
The Volkswagen Jetta TDI,
Magoon!
And honestly,
I have to agree with him.
If you don't know,
Dakota did own one of these for a while.
And he absolutely loved it.
They come to the manual,
it's a wagon AKA Magoon.
Which automatically gives bonus points
to turbo diesel.
And it was comfortable as all hell.
They can be scooped up for pretty cheap,
get rid of the EGR and DPF throw a tune on it,
with some wheels, tires and suspension
they had got from fitmentindustries.com.
And you get yourself a turbo diesel wagon.
(car engine roaring)
It gets 50 miles to the gallon.
And you want to know like,
what else,
do you really want in life?
It's a great car.
It was a fantastic car.
Nothing will live forever.
So there you have it.
Those are some of our top picks
for some great fun daily drivers
that you can go snag right now.
