Mazda MX6 - why? what's wrong with it? I thought it was a decent car
Ford Probe - Never liked those 2.5's - I was hoping it'd be like a 3, but yeah, I dunno - the 2.5L V6 is a Mazda V6 and revs like melted butter over popcorn. A truly under-rated engine.
VW Golf/GTI - Expensive to repair - yeah... but I thought they lasted a while - the base engines are gutless, go turbo or V6 for anything worth enjoying. And you thought the Focus was gutless...
Chevy Cavalier - newer ones are cheap... decent for a commuter car - Yeah, cheap and easy to find, but I don't really like them - the 2.2L I4 is an abortion that has taken them 10+ years to ditch. The EcoTec isn't called EcoScrap for nothing, and the refined 2.4L Quad4 is about your only choice (ie Z24 / Stunfire GT)
Honda Civic Hatchback - Cheap parts - I'd get one, but I'd hate feeling like a ricer everytime I decided to add something to my car - rice is as rice does. The concept of originality went out the door 10 years ago when the fad really hit. If you're like me, originality > ease of finding parts.
Mazda MX3 (V6 if I can) - nobody should make a 1.8 v6 - ouch, I didn't know they were 1.8 V6s... - nothing wrong with a tiny V6 that rips to 7000+ and makes decent noise doing it. I guess small V12s are bad too? :rolleyes:
Saturn SC2 (low on the list) - great for anti-rust qualities, parts are sketchy, kinda low on power
VW Jetta - what year? - Not sure, mid 90s probably, I didn't like the look of the early 90s late 80s... my Dad had a TDI - mid-90s are your best bet, and go VR6
VW Corrado - G60? - I dunno, that's more or less all I saw on Autotrader, so I guess. Is that the supercharged one? - very swank, goes like snot, but go VR6 again if you can... top-end problems occured with the G60.
Nissan 240SX?ZX? - awesome for handling when modded right, they're the drift kings of Japan for a reason... but horribly low on power for their size and weight stock. SR20DETs bolt up nice, go figure :ph34r:
I can find stuff like, 1986 RX-7 with 5.7L V8 in them and stuff too lol... I've got a 1987 Ford Ranger with a 302V8 and A4OD trans. with a shift kit and B+M shifter you can have for $500, probably needs another $1500 in work, have bills to prove I've invested over $5000 in parts and upgrades to it.
