Cheap Car

[J3M93]

Hey guys i need some advice...

Im looking for a car for me to learn manual one...any suggestions?

The car needs to be quite cheap...around $6000 aud, i obviously need a manual, good fuel efficiency and something thats cool lol, two door would be preferred but not necessary. Oh yea, parts also have to be cheap.

I really don't want a civic, but other jap cars are preferred as my dad doesn't like the sound of old euro cars.

Thanks!

E30/E36

Any other econo shit boxes Chevy Caviler ( I have no idea what they marketed them as down there) I had one for a DD beater, that I BEAT THE FUCK OUTTA for 80k miles and only ever changed the oil. You could not kill the 2.2 POS.

dude your on an e30 forum? e30's are easy to pick up for under 6k here. i had one as my first car and got 100,000kms out of it with regular services. otherwise buy a commodore bud

the e30's that im looking at are 318i's, not is, and our i's have the m40, also, my dad is largly funding this and he's only looking at cars in the late 90's...he also is not a fan of euro stuff cos of the price of parts and proper service's(at bmw dealers)

Does anyone know what gas mileage the subaru's get?, i hadnt thought of them and the seem pretty good

MK4 golf is probably one of the last cars I would go for to be honest. Never owned one but I took my E30 over one.
