The various ideas that I've come up with include: Toyota Celica Scion TC Volkswagen Golf Volkswagen Jetta Pontiac G6 Mitsubishi Eclipse Eagle Talon It will be my daily driver. I'm looking for something that doesn't look too bad, decent on gas, and stuff like that. Any recommondations?[/QUOTE] budget and location

[QUOTE=Prismatex;27488112]budget and location[/QUOTE] ^ also what do you consider decent on gas regardless of any of your answers get a mustang like me so we can be friends

[QUOTE=CoilingTesla;27488016]Jesus, I have nothing against a powerful car, but it will be my first car, I wouldn't want to ruin a car like that.[/QUOTE] Yet again, miata is the answer. [url]http://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/2142265443.html[/url] Arguably the easiest manual car to drive, handles amazing, this one already set up for track, does not look like a chick car anymore thanks to roll bar, wheels, stance, and lip. Plenty of money left over for maintenance (which seems like it wouldn't be much as this car looks well maintained), driving lessons (i mean performance driving lessons, autox instructors, etc.), track time, new tires (hard driving eats them up) All in all, perfect car. [editline]17th January 2011[/editline] seriously, i would buy that miata. [editline]17th January 2011[/editline] also, its a 1.6 liter, its amazing on gas

I can give you many reasons for this, if you want.

Be a sophisticated gentleman and get a Volkswagen. Like me.

but be cool and get a vr6 or a r32 j/k blaster <3

If they didn't discontinue them for a turbo four, lawl

[QUOTE=Prismatex;27490087]you could fit a family of 4 on that park bench[/QUOTE] its fuunnnnctionalllll thanks to the youtube comments, i've realized the mustang is hitting the brakes in this drag race. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9uq769cnUo[/media] did they think people wouldn't notice? go to 2:12, you can see the brake lights and the car shaking at 2:20 fuck motortrend

retarded editors [editline]17th January 2011[/editline] if youre gonna fake it, dont show us you are

You guys are dumb, they're flashing because they are LED taillights. The car shakes because it's his 3-4 shift.

I had a 1998 Pontiac Bonneville that had a 3.8L V6 and I honestly enjoyed driving it; I averaged ~20mpg or so. [editline]18th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=lemon_lover;27488044]Toyota Celica - fwd, ugly Scion TC - chick car Volkswagen Golf - ok Volkswagen Jetta - ok Pontiac G6 - "fly like a g6" references for the rest of your life, plus its boring Mitsubishi Eclipse - chick cars, except for GST and GSX, both bad on gas, GST fwd crap Eagle Talon - really don't know why this is on here unless you had performance in mind in which case why are all of those other car in this list[/QUOTE] I honestly don't care about RWD or FWD, I'm not a performance whore. I just want something that looks nice and is reliable. How is a TC or Eclipse a chick car? + The Eagle Talon and Eclipse are the same cars...

Anyhoo, I'd like to keep the mileage under 125k. I honestly prefer auto over stick simply because I'm going to be doing 90% city stop and go driving the next few years. I could go stick if it were a great deal though.

[QUOTE=Ca5bah;27494316]...... The Talon is nothing more than an American badged Eclipse.... You COULD get BOTH the Eclipse and Talon with turbos and AWD in the 90s. [/QUOTE] really i didnt know that

[QUOTE=lemon_lover;27494417]really i didnt know that[/QUOTE] I was attempting to figure out why you were making the assumption that Eagle Talon = manly auto enthuasiast car and Mitsubishi Eclipse = chick car.

theyre both chick cars BUT if i go on my local craigslist and search "mitsubishi eclipse" i get 361 results, almost all of them being automatic spyder models being sold by dealers if i search for "eagle talon" i get 7. one being sold by dealer, 4 turbo being sold by enthusiasts, 2 being sold privately. do you see what im saying? there are tons and TONS of eclipses, mostly crappy base model autos, while talons are mostly sold by enthusiasts and performance built

they're not chick cars

I might be insanely delayed for work today, loads of ambulances rushed down the road :geno:
