"You are not getting another car"
Watch me woman.

Man subarus and fiestas cost too much ima stick with my 100 dollar honda and slide that b around corners if i crash ill get another one a do it again

[GeekyNerd]

I don't like ford, but I can't argue that the fiesta is a good rally car.

[andypandy]

Rust free subaru? Didn't know there was such thing.

[noahsandberg]

If you french fried when you should've pizza'd, you're gonna have a bad time.

Ha this/you just completely inspired me! I spent the first 10 years of my life wanting to be a rally driver and the last 28 saying it’s too late/unrealistic. This is the first time I actually think I could get into it. Thanks.

Im sold, Im gonna have to go look for a fiesta to buy now

I was going to recommend a Volvo 240 or 740 when you started talking about rear wheel drive cars, and then you go and do it for me! Like you said, they are extremely capable cars, and built like absolute tanks. I wager that close to 98% of all drivers here in Sweden start out in a Volvo, if not more. Of course it is much more common over here, but it is still a great car for any beginner wishing to try rear wheel drive.

Corollas are another good option. A lot of universe parts like the subie plus universal parts with other cars like the Celica or mr2. You get your choice of fwd, rwd and awd if you can find an all-trac.

Please make a video about different rally groups, which one we can enter as an amateur?
and is there any professional web site to sell second hand rally cars?

[Pilikestortoises]

I would also say a 2001-2009 Volvo S60 2.4 is a great starter as well. Can get it in fwd or awd, bulletproof motor, comes N/A but there is a turbo version, compact 4 door. Great car all around

[willvanhouten]

I would add a first gen pontiac vibe/matrix to this. Very light, simple, and cheap cars. They’re very controllable on dirt and have good options for oem upgrades for the engine, transmission, and drivetrain

[SussyBokChoy]

Holy crap, I already have an ‘04 Impreza with a 5 speed MT and the 2.5 NA engine.

[BLITZdaBOSS]

The 02-06 Lancer OZ Rally was used in WRC with great success, many people still think they were Evos. Sure those WRC were modified platforms, but it’s a great little starter car that can be upgraded and modified as you gain experience. Could more than rival those little subies.

Bro! I can't believe you said Volvo 240.. I soooo miss my Flat Hood 240! Always looking for another one. Put in Urethane bushing and a mustang 5spd and they run great!

[coced]

Naturally aspirated 2wd ?

Wait for me my 86 is warming up (she likes it when its hot)

[astnmartn]

I've got an old MK4 GTI that is lowered, which was great, but my driveway now, since I moved to the country, is practically a rally stage, 2 miles of dirt road with a creek that runs through it. I'm looking to build the GTI into a grassroots rally car, there's a rallycross school about 1.5 hours away. I love watching your videos, and hope to one day take some classes at your driving school. Maybe I'll bring the GTI and get your opinion on it, lol.

[周宇锋-ow]

My rally school use MkIV, cause it's very cheap in china lol...
Just started in rally driving, AWD is too much expensive than FWD.
I think maybe i need a fiesta for training...
BTW thx for all your video, very helpful !

One reason I race a 95 Impreza is because in St Louis, you don't need emissions on non-OBD-2 cars, meaning 95 and older. If you plan on really modifying your power train at all, this makes things SO much easier, and this is why I tend to turn away from post-96 cars.
