Bliss · 06-30-2004, 10:13 PM

daily driver? get a civic or corolla.

sil40sx · 06-30-2004, 10:39 PM

2005 golf gti

**Phlip** · 06-30-2004, 10:53 PM

Daily driver? Think about gas mileage. Think about gas mileage, minimal cost of repair if necessary and gost of said fuel. Get a TDI Vee-Dub

OptionZero · 06-30-2004, 11:13 PM

A used hybrid or an Echo. Maybe a scion.

pruto · 07-01-2004, 01:06 AM

truck or suv to tow your track car with =p

brianglawson · 07-01-2004, 09:16 AM

used g35 sedan, hell yeah

vw would be nice too, my dad has a gti vr6 5spd, and its a great car, good gasmileage, fast, torquey as hell, and very comfortable

ch1873857 · 07-01-2004, 09:37 AM

the vw gti r32's are fucking badass man. AWD great gas mileage. quick little bastards. brother has one and the thing is a beast

aznpoopy · 07-01-2004, 10:42 AM

honda civic or a acura RSX... great on gas, reliable and very comfortable.

Wei240 · 07-01-2004, 11:11 AM

depends on who is going to be driving it the most, (as in if your gf bugs you and actually will use it more than yourself)
but if it was for me, i would consider and test drive:
rsx
wrx
accord
mazda 3, 6
mini cooper
altima
legacy
golf/gti
all can be had brand new under 25k before tax,title,reg,blah blah blah

240KAT · 07-01-2004, 12:28 PM

Hmm, I really dont like VW's. My dad had a 1.8T Jetta and I don't really like how it feels.
Perhaps an Accord V6 w/ all the goodies? WRX sounds nice too, but I'd probably start dumping money into it. Lol..Blizzaks, sway bars, you know..Rally stuff.

AKADriver · 07-01-2004, 12:48 PM

Blaaaah. Don't buy a VW. Good gas mileage from a GTI VR6? Whaaa?

If you want a new car that wouldn't tempt you to throw a lot of money in it, there's a lot of choices. Omitting all the hot subcompacts... hmm. well-equipped Volvo S40, Mazda 6s, Nissan Altima SE V6, that's what I'd consider.

But, I know I have enough self-restraint not to mod my daily car, so I'd probably actually get a WRX, or a Mini Cooper S, or an SRT-4.

ONYX S-13 · 07-01-2004, 03:08 PM

Civic , Scion, integra,accord, Golf TDI, any hybrid, Echo, corrola, mazda 6, mazda 626, mazda miata, altima (used). That's all i can think of off the top of my head.

COMPLETELY AGREED! I'd also say test drive the Sentra SE-R Spec V. Also SRT-4 is quick,cheap,looks cool,has a super duper warrenty and gets pretty decent gas mileage. Also has the usefullness of a decent sized trunk,and 4 doors.

Mazdaspeed protege? Not quite as quick,but handles like a DREAM!!! Miata? B14 SE-R (sr20de stock

) and gets good MPG + cheap ? B15 SE2.0 (also SR20) ? NX2000?

I wouldn't get a civic unless it had a B16 or K20 personally and its still a CIVIC

. I love the way Integras look though? RSX is a pretty nice car right out the box?

For that much money you could get one hell of an S14/,or get a decent one and fix it up a little(or save the money

)? My 4 speed auto KA24DE gets 30-35mpg with intake/exhaust on it.

N/A Supra? Celica? Scion TCs are really nice too.

**West** · 07-01-2004, 03:47 PM

Civic Hybrid! WOOT! Thats what I would get for a travel/commute car. If I got anything else, it would actually be a car I would like and end up wasteing money on it by modding it. So the Civic Hybrid is perfect.

Other then that... get a Impreza, anything 98+ great daily car.

citizen · 07-01-2004, 03:53 PM

bah BAH, shame on you all. Toyota Mr-s, or Miata. Also, BMW 1 series is coming sometime soon and i bet it will be super sweet.

kandyflip445 · 07-01-2004, 03:55 PM

TDI for MPG.
Mazdaspeed Protege just cause I like Protege's anyways.
Mazda 3's/6's are nice too.
Nissan Altima cause it's a Nissan

Subaru Impreza cause is AWD, good ABS for snow/mud/anything with less than ideal traction.
Subaru WRX if you were willing to have a nicer daily driver than project car........
There are so many cars I like, I guess I'm just a car fanatic. Everycar has something to bring to the table, it just depends on what you want/need.

OptionZero · 07-01-2004, 04:31 PM

wait...are we talking about a daily driver that will remain bone stock and solely be used for Point A to Point B transport, or are we talking about a ride that can be modified and be fun while being mostly streetable?

MakotoS13 · 07-01-2004, 06:26 PM

used C5 corvette

OR

kouki S14
neon SRT-4
Altima SER (yes, i've heard rumors...)
LOADED to the gills mazda3 hatch (i prefer this over the neon)

I forgot all about that car....I really like the wagon in the cooper paint.

I wonder if they will have a MazdaSpeed version.

*exitspeed* · 07-02-2004, 06:14 PM
