    I know that trucks are exciting, muscle cars are fabulous, sports cars are breathtaking and classics are just so iconic that I can't skip them! But what if I finish the Asterope talk and make a review of the modern generation, the 2013 model, the seventh generation? Let's do it and find out, what can it offer to the future owner!

    ๐๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐œ๐š๐ซ. ๐๐ญ. ๐Ÿ“ | ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ง ๐€๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž ๐‘๐’ ๐’๐„.

    Oh, yeah. The midsize by Karin was always incredibly boring, and it's boring even now. It doesn't attract the potential customers with its styling, performance, low price or even nice equipment inside. These cars are all about simplicity, reliability, they hold a high resale value, and they are simply the ones you can't go wrong with.

    The 2013 Karin Asterope RS looks like a regular sedan from its era. It's not good-looking, not revolutionary, like the fifth generation of the Asterope, the GZ model was. But, at least, it aged a lot better here. Personally, I'd still go with Dinka's Chavos or basically any German midsize from that era, because they just look better, you have to admit it. Though, the Vapid's Torrence aged a lot worse, and everything that I can say is that infamous Karin's design team did their job relatively well.
    The aftermarket parts are basically non-existent here. Yes, you can get different bumpers with different trim levels, you can get your grille covered in chrome in XLE trim level. But who cares, when there aren't a lot of factory wheels, no differences in headlights or taillights. This is just boring, dull and no aftermarket brands, producing stuff for it, just prove my theory.
    And the car isn't that common on the streets. It's not easy to find one, because Karin raised the price tag slightly, since the dirt cheap fifth generation was out.

    Looks: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† | Amount of aftermarket parts: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† | Rareness: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

    Talking about the performance, we definitely should speak of the engine, the mighty and indestructible 3.5 Liter N/A V6, producing 268 horsepower and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. It doesn't do the job great on the fuel efficiency, but gives the Asterope RS the ability to go from 0 to 60 in 7.1 seconds, which is surprisingly good for a family sedan. Unfortunately, the SE and XSE trim exclusive sports suspension just ruins all the ride quality and doesn't give any driving pleasure too. Well, that was predictable.
    The car has showed 01:59.11 on our secret test track, and it gives it the second place among all the daily drivers we've tested yet!

    Top speed: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† | Acceleration: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† | Lap Time: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†

    Talking about the interior, I can mention that Karin stepped up their game on it. Better faux leather, decent speakers, a nice screen, dual zone climate control and even iFruit Car Play on later models of this generation. It's spacious, the rear seat is great for the kids or a bunch of drunk friends (tested). And the trunk is surprisingly roomy too.
    Pricing is still fine. It's not expensive, you can still find an amazing deal second-hand, these are not expensive cars to own. Definitely, it's still a strength.
    Value? Phenomenal. If you don't need a cool car, this is one of the go-tos. You can't go wrong with a car, where you can find a replacement bumper on your neighbor's backyard.

    Interior and practicality: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† | Price: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… | Value: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

    A bit less boring, if it's not black. Covers all your needs. Costs nothing. Drives alright, but not exciting. A great first car, because it's safe, and a great last car, because you'll never ever see it breaking down.

  • Wanna drive a cool car? Get in in the new car raffle from #LSBETS! Stay tuned, amazing sports cars of your dreams are waiting for you!

    And here we go. I've previously done a review on the 2022 Vapid Sandstorm 2500 Super Duty. (https://face.gta.world/posts/617260) and I was quite surprised by the technologies and features available there. Loved it! And here I'm quite curious to know, how does the cheaper regular cab version is compared to its big brother.

    ๐‘๐จ๐š๐๐ฌ ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ง'๐ญ ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐๐ž๐. ๐๐ญ. ๐Ÿ’ | ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ ๐•๐š๐ฉ๐ข๐ ๐’๐š๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐‘๐ž๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐š๐ซ ๐‚๐š๐›.

    And yeah, as I always mention in every Sandstorm reivew, for 47 years, the Vapid Sandstorm is the most popular truck in The United States, due to a huge variety of engines and modifications, being quite versatile for every buyer. This one, is the cheapest and the most basic truck available in the Vapid Sandstorm lineup at the moment.

    Being freshly redesigned in 2024, the Vapid Sandstorm lineup looks a bit nicer than the 2022 models and a lot nicer than the 2020 models. Updated grille, taillights, front fascia, headlights (even being halogens on our XL trim level truck). Just everything here screams modern and I can't complain. It looks the way it should look like and that's why I'm happy. I'm not a huge fan of these, but it's a great design, there is no doubt.
    The Sandstorms of the fourteenth generation are very customizable, people love to tune them for street and daily comfort and off-road usage. A lot of parts go bolt-on from higher trim levels, giving the owner a great platform to share their individuality.
    The Vapid Sandstorm 1500 Regular Cab is the rarest version, because of the lacking practicality, compared to the other ones. And it's quite rare to see even in the countryside, not only on the streets.

    Looks: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… | Amount of aftermarket parts: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… | Rareness: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

    Theoretically, this one should be the cool one to drive. Lightweight, short wheelbase, all-wheel drive. But Vapid can't make a flawless one. The truck I've reviewed is powered (I mean, underpowered) by a 2.7 Liter V6 engine, which produces only 325 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. Twin-turbochargers don't help here and I'd prefer to stick with an N/A V8 due to the better reliability. Absolutely not fun to drive, not exciting at all. Just a truck with a V6 motor.
    The car has showed 01:43.15 on our secret off-road test track, and it gives it the third place among all the off-roaders we've tested yet!

    Top speed: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† | Acceleration: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜† | Lap Time: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

    Personally, I love the new Vapid's interior styling. These look great, especially in tan or cream colors. Detroit fellas definitely stepped up their game in infotainment screens and since now every truck has climate-control as standard. Though, I'm really not a fan of the space usage in the cab, it could be a lot more spacious or even could be simply a crew cab. This truck can seat only two people and it's a serious issue.
    Great pricing, relatively inexpensive. This is probably the cheapest brand new truck you can buy at the moment from Vapid's dealership. And it's sort of an achievement too.
    And the value? Well, the value isn't here. It's not a bad car, but you definitely shouldn't buy it brand new. The particular one has some miles on it, but also a quite expensive security package and it's available at #HayesAutos for a discounted price! They also have a huge variety of other pickup trucks, packing a lot better value in my opinion.

    Interior and practicality: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† | Price: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… | Value: โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

    Well, this is a great vehicle, but you shouldn't buy it, if you aren't a company and you're creating a fleet of vehicles OR you aren't an off-roading enthusiast OR you need a truck with a big bed OR a regular cab is your choice. But overall, the truck is a great addition to the Sandstorm lineup.
