The Help Danny Pick a New Car Thread.

Why buy an American car if you want something reliable? That makes no sense.
.

Seems you are not keeping up with the world, US cars are now on par and have surpassed most of the Japanese and many of the German counter parts in regards to Reliability.

[Chaos Theory]

Datsun 510 w/ sr20det and still have plenty left over, their known to be pretty reliable as well as long as you don't push too much boost.

Or rev too hard. The SR20's head design is inherently flawed. Damn rocker arms.

[bernzpeed]

I'd like a newish car.

Mitsu Evo

Sure, that's why the U.S automotive industry is dead......

Its dead due too way too many years of people with your stereotype that dont look to what they have done to improve things

Also our economy is total shit as is most of the globes, makes it some what hard to sell cars

Yeah, but still more reliable than the ka24's

You think it was reliability that killed American specifically GM vehicles, you don't read much do you? They were no.1 manufacturer for 50+ years, while doing that they had the largest employee benefit system built during that time. No company no matter what product they make can afford GM's retiree benefit system. American cars are on par with everyone else.

I say STI over e46 m3.....driven both, the e46 is amazing but not raw enough.

[phreshkid]

I'd take an m5 over an m3 for DD duties. White e39 m5 with the peanut butter interior and I'm sold.

[Bey]

I say stick to something you can pay off right away.

Car payments + newer car insurance sucks IMO. Unless you have a good record of course.

[F34R]

Wait for the 2012 Evo it is amazing looking and a beast.

[Jand3rson]

Danny, find a good condition 4-door E36 M3. I'm a staunch E36 hater, but I have always loved the 4-door M3.

I vote for a Geo Metro with bad brakes and a lot of play in the steering wheel. Drive it like you stole it bro.

Edit: Seat belts are for pussies bro

I second this notion, or perhaps a hyundai excel?

WHy not take your engine out and put it into another e30. Save the money, take out a loan for school...?

g35s are great cars... I know it's fairly slow but you could get a good deal on one.

[SpoolnDaapex]

STi transmissions are bullet proof.

If the the E46 issues arent a big deal i would go for it. Its probably just as fun to drive as the c5 but more spacious and a ballin interior
