civic si

 

I like the Jetta's looks. But have you ever had to work on one? What a pain in the ***

 

i didnt feel like reading through all the posts, but i dont think any one has said the Nissan Sentra SE-R

i test drove one the other day when bored and that car can get goin pretty fast. Its like 17g i think with a 180hp. its not that bad of a car.

And i took corners at like 45 with it and it would just squeel a little bit but not lost conrtol. Not a bad car for the price they want, maybe if your bored also you could just take a look at them

 

SE-R Spec V is definitely a consideration. The car has a torquey engine, and nice accerlation and cornering ability. The bad thing is that the ride is pretty stiff for a everyday car, and it has torque steer like crazy, especially when you dump the clutch. SVT Focus in my opinion is a better mix, decent accerlation (just a few 1/10s of seconds slower than the SE-R), nice interior (leather seats with drivers side heating seat), better ride, and I find it easier to toss around the corners than the SE-R, and now you have a choice of 2 door hatch or 4 door hatch.

 

I didn't see a laughing smiley here. I'll add one:



or several

 

Man, they have tose new egg shaped Civic SI's in around here being sold for 14,500. Thats a damn good deal on that car. If they would have had it at those prices when I got a new car, thats what I would have gotten.

 

i've seen those sell for 13,000 off the lot! that's a freakin bargain, but look at them..its like a mini-minivan. mini oddessy. it's pamazing how similar they look.

 

SRT-4 for sure. If you can find one get it. They are running low 14s stock. I dont think the look that bad either. Yea its a neon but a fast one.

 

I'd look into the Sentra but first I'd think about trading in/selling the OZ and upping the price range of the new car into the 30's...*sniff sniff* do I smell an Evo?

 

I would say SRT-4. Its the best performance you can get for under 20g's

 

srt-4 is just a neon and I see alot of gays in jetta so I have to say neither car for me

 

if i was in your position, i would stay away from domestics, because they were made to be supercharged not turbo. with german cars, theyre expensive to work on. im liking the idea of the WRX. they are great cars.

 

Wait a minute, what makes domestics 4 bangers more superchargeable than turbo? what makes import 4 bangers more turboable than supercharge? Just because you're used to seeing American cars being supercharged instead of turbo charged, doesn't mean you can't turbo charge an domestic engine and get the same result as if you had an import.

 

srt 4 for sure man... i was checking them out in the lot the other day. great warranty, great upgrade potential, and if you read any super sport magazines you'll notice there are some KILLER new body kits coming out for it that make it very non-domestic looking. i'd be ALL About it if i wasn't already negative equity on my lancer oz from my last car... plus man, it's ***** out fast for a 20k stock car, you can't fade it! insurance is probably super low too.

srt 4 baby.

 

thanks for all the great suggestions i think i mite be gettin a rex instead
