Turbo owners - What's your daily driver?
For those of us that don't daily driver our Turbos, I'd be interested to see what your daily driver is and why you chose it.
Right now, my daily driver is a 2012 Mazdaspeed3. Out of the 20+ cars I've owned, this was the first car I actually bought brand new off the dealership (will never do it again) with 17 miles. Today, it has just a little above 25K and has been very reliable and is handy/practical car with some "pep" to have fun in. I'm looking to potentially get something else and wanted to see what everyone else was driving and why! |
2008 BMW 335xi. Stage 2 full bolt on. Love it.
|
Ford Explorer Sport (v6 ecoboost)
3 rows are very practical. Plus it looks and drives well |

Up until very recently I was DDing a '89 Saab 900 turbo. Did this since about 2002. My wife thinks I'm nuts and wanted me to get something newer.. I have many newer cars but this thing feels so right.. LOL
So at 325K miles it has been retired from DD duty and now lives under a car cover. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...8a76914baa.jpg |
i have a few super duty's , all diesel, and all making a lot of power, but this is my most recent project that is now my DD for the most part. i drive my turbo a couple days a week though. this truck is roughly 1200hp and 2000+ lb/ft of torque, at the wheels in the tune that's in it now, and i can turn it up to 1300+ with the flick of a switch. its a lowered 4WD with a lot of traction aids , 3 borg warner 69mm turbos and a fully loaded interior.
