Today's community question: What things should you never say to a JDM fanboy?

Japan has provided us with over-engineered engines, reliable performance cars and a never-ending list of automotive innovations. So it’s completely understandable that some people, like our very own Darren Cassey, are complete and utter JDM fanboys.

Japan has provided us with over-engineered engines, reliable performance cars and a never-ending list of automotive innovations. So it’s completely understandable that some people, like our very own Darren Cassey, are complete and utter JDM fanboys. The only problem is, they appear to be a pretty sensitive bunch; defensive of all things Japanese (myself included).

So we want to know: what are the worst things to say to a JDM fan? Personally, I hate the keyboard warrior favourite - ‘the Nissan GT-R drives itself’. Those that have actually driven the R35 know that it’s one of the most engaging performance cars on the market.

Let us know your suggestions, and don’t hold back!

Just because its unique, RHD, and rare outside of Japan, doesn’t mean its any good.

Miatas aren’t always the answer. Rotarys are unreliable. GTRs are overrated. VTEC is turbo lag without a turbo.

On the Apex

JDM is useless. You can’t even do burnouts! Come and feel my LS V8. I hate GTR’s and Supras

Well you won’t be anywhere near the apex with your american built muscle car LS swapped or not. I bet the GTR’s and Supra’s are right on the apex while you’re running wide.
