already bored of my subaru. i thought i wanted an autobox for commuting but it turns out i really don't.

new daily candidates:
mitsu lancer ralliart (has best warranty, and nifty paddle-shift gearbox with automatic mode)
subie wrx (i still like the brand)
mustang ecoboost with performance package (surprisingly, still best price out of the 3)

don't bother recommending the BRZ/FR-S... girlfriend has one and i can flog it whenever i want. the 370z is kinda... meh.

any other candidates?

are you hating the car or the auto? if you like the car you could just find one in 5speed.

The guy doesn't have the mounting kit anymore and agreed to $350 shipped. Rack doctor is $430. So I would save $80. Seems like a little better deal, still not sure.

My problem is I need to order a new rack asap, I don't have time to drive a bunch of cars with different racks. Maybe I'll just go oem for now. Fuhh

I have an e36 rack installed in mine, bought refurb'd from RackDoctor. NOT worth it. Still slow like the e30 rack. Save up, spend your dough on something nice.

Wanna bring a e28 euro valence up?

Does it fit in the backseat? I will have a passenger. Or I'll put it on my roof rack.

Yo, pending answer.

sorry, the one i was trying to get disappeared

thanks though!

Yea I can agree with it slightly being a POS. It had what I wanted though - clean paint, 5spd, coils, crack free dash, etc. I've got my work cut out for me.

[Cabriolet]

It's faster than my old m3.
That's a quick supereta. but that driver's door dent is sad

[Danny]

actually we pretty much talked shit about you the whole time

Not surprised. Just disappointed.

[Rsully70sev]

Agreed, but better a door than a quarter panel.

Dk you want to buy my Gti? It makes an awesome commuter and I want another 4x4. (Not a lesboru)

What about steering rack upgrades for those without power steering? Ive heard the non-m z3 without power steering is horrible... that basically leaves the e36 or the z4

Turbo failed on the LGT after a couple months and the only reason that didn't leave me in a bad spot is I'd let them talk me into a 2-year warranty (which has now paid for itself in one repair.)

That 2-year warranty is half of the loan term.

I can't work on my own cars where I live now because the HOA doesn't allow it. So if it isn't some retard-simple shit that I can fix by checking fluid levels or electrical connections, it's got to go to a shop, and there goes a bunch of otherwise disposable or investable cash.

So. I want a new car, with a turbo and a manual tranny, and a warranty that has the same length as the loan term, so if something goes wrong, it's somebody else's problem and I pick it up when it's fixed.

I can rant about this a little more on Friday, if ya want. Right now, I want to know if there's a good car out there I'm missing.

I do know a lot of people who are quite happy with their WRXes for daily duty :)

[Cabriolet]

A STI convertible would be cool

[Toodaloo]

Sold my old wrx to buy an e30. Not mad at all :)

I already have an E30.

Another E30 is not the answer to the question "hey guys, I want something new and fun with a good warranty, do you have anything to add to this list of shit I'm going to test-drive next week?"
