Foxbody GT Mustang or Porsche 944?

get a W123 300D as a DD, good mileage, it and cockroaches will survive nuclear holocaust.

Hard to find, and when I do find one they are either over priced or autos.

agreed, bought mine with 160k for $800, no rust, its a fucking tank. I get 23mpg in the city.

What are maintence costs like on a 300D? D=Diesel right? They look like they have power and would be more of a burden than an enjoyment to drive.

[doucy2]

umm parts are fairly cheap (used), not expensive unless you have serious parts breakdown. there are plenty of broke down w123's to take parts from. I actually own a 300Dt which is the 5cyl diesel turbo model, the 300D is the 5cyl which in my opinion is slightly underpowered. If you really want a good DD benz the 240D will get you better millage yet and they also made more US models then the 300's.

Maybe even a 190e?

[Bimmerista]

Get a 4Runner

[GarrettM]

If I wanted an SUV, I would get another Jeep YJ, I already have had 2.

If you were to go the 190e route, make sure you get the 2.6, the 2.3's were absolute junk.

F-Body 3rd gen.

+1 to that FTW. I have a 3rd gen and i love it. too bad im selling it though...

[Tavern Gnome]

I'd go with a 89-94 Subaru Legacy SS or Touring Wagon. Good gas milage, AWD, turbo, and dead reliable. I miss my wagon terribly,

[LivingLegend06]

Foxbody without a doubt. Reliable cheap fast and fun as hell. Whoever said they didnt like them because they see them every day is just digging for excuses, I see twice as many E30s as I do foxbodys.

Your kidding yourself if you think you can get 20mpg in the city though. I got about ten in the city with mine (driving it the way its supposed to be driven) and my best tank of gas ever was a little under 18mpg all highway.

a 944 is going to be harder to find, more expensive to insure/maintain/purchase/modify and less practical. (fold the back seats forward in the mustang and you have room for anything back there)

EDIT: And to tavern gnome, wow, another car Ive owned. i had a 91 legacy sport sedan, it had 90k on the clock when the auto tranny went out. as far as i can tell it is really difficult model to find, especially with a 5spd and i ultimately sold mine in favor of the mustang due to the fact that the auto was boring the hell out of me.

Yeah, the wagons never came as 5 speeds. Mine was swapped though ;)

[Scott///M]

I'm sorry, but those are 2 of the shittiest choices for a DD I've ever seen. What made you choose those?
