doesn't have to be a particular year if you ask me, but I do agree the recaro seats make it look nicer. the biggest ownership issue is the timing belt that needs a replacement at around 100-120k miles. it's a catastrophic failure if the belt breaks so to me that is definitely a risk with a used one. the entire feels laughably cheap if you ask me, but incredible amount of space for its size. overall one of the most fun sub 10k cars for putting around the city if you ask me. worth the money at around 7-10k for a nice, factory, adult owned car. wouldn't touch any of the ones that have cobb accessports on them. terrible sign lol

I know this is a car thread, but I thought this scooter was nice

Yeah, looks like I'm gonna spring for an Aprilia SR-50 scooter. Don't need insurance for anything 50cc or less, and I'll only be using it to go on short neighborhood runs anyway.
Sure, I can absolutely get a car for around $3k, but honestly I'm kind of scared of owning and driving a car. A totally irrational fear fostered by my parents constantly reinforcing how dangerous driving is and how irresponsible I am from my youth. Carried all the way to my 40s, if anything it is much worse now. I'm terrified when I get behind the wheel of a car, but on a motorcycle or scooter I feel safer. Although it is surly the opposite in reality.
The Aprilia is the one though, so many 50cc scooters look really effeminate and kinda gay :rolleyes:

In order to be reasonably useful, you need to be able to comfortably get to the grocery store and a utility store of some sort, with a large enough basket to carry a decent load of groceries.
