Re: help me decide! give your input on my next car
IMHO......I would just put the money in that. Swap it to a manual, get a good suspension set up,rims and tires ,a nice paint job and then boost or swap it. Then u still have room in the trunk for a decent system. My not be what u want to do but i was just throwing it out there.
I know u said u were bored with it but that could change with 6-7k into it.

Re: help me decide! give your input on my next car
I was in your situation not too long ago. I ended up with a non turbo 3000gt. It was a good cruiser, didnt need any mods to look good and got pretty good gas mileage. plus girls liked it and it handled pretty well with a few suspension mods. others worth considering would be non turbo 300zx or supra, contour svt, or an e36 bmw. Theres no need to go fast coming out of high school, its just an unnecessary expense and girls only judge how fast your car is by how far your speedo goes and how your car looks anyways ha. and yes of course hondas, I would look at an integra gsr or prelude. DSMs are worth a look too if you can find a stock one thats been maintained.
edit: look at lexus sc300/400s also, they've really come down in price recently, are RWD, comfy and come with toyota reliability.

my vote is still in for a 00-01 sentra SE.
SR20> Bseries
sorry guys, i know most of you are on the whole honda fanboat, and i'll admit they're good cars, but the insurance is automatically higher on anything made by honda.
the sr20de will outperform almost all motors in a civic of the same year, with the exception of the b16, and last just as long, if not longer.

im in your same shoes, things ive considerd are
-audi a4 1.8t sexy and pretty quick
-integra or civic 92-00, can get a nice clean one with your price range
-lexus sc300, 400 has the v8 i dont like v8s thats just me and there more exspensive to maintain
-bmw e30 or e36 both are sexy, and you'll like drifting and smokin tires, i know i did in my e30 until i crashed it.
-volvo wagons, why b/c noone has one and there sexy with some wheels and tint and are nice cars

Re: help me decide! give your input on my next car
hahaha wow thanks for the help guys, well im just over my civic like it feels so old.. id like a 99 or 00 ex perhaps.. oh sorry for not clarifying but my 6-7k is including selling my car and hoping for a good 3, 4k maybe from it?? i donno i know im a loser.
*the wrangler seems like so much fun but the bumpy ride, mpg, and.. well honestly i know id flip it kinda turns me off..
*the audis are so nicee i dont care what anyone says about it unless you have something along the lines of: "its wont last past 140000 miles": you cant really discourage me from them... i like them. from looks to leather interior to bose speakers
*ive kinda been discouraged from the focus cuz 1: i hate fords.. 2: well... ive heard they dont last.. which just means number the same as the first reason right?? :P
any other recommendations as far as reliability??
if you have any ideas just through them out there.
thanks for the help!
