Time for a new car?

[A//// Guy]

Not bad, but out of the cars you listed a TT would be at the bottom for me, it just doesnt work well as a "sports car." They are nice though, the 1.8T is a big slow though, look at the V6, unless your planning on modding the 1.8, then its a better choice.

It's nice but I'm not a big fan of the 330's.

[Kougar]

No one has mentioned IS300?

[Steeltwo]

find a speed 6.

i've never seen a real world review of one yet.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Evo or 03-04 Cobra...

Audi/VWs are cars to avoid more than DSMs.

I've got a 99 Miata I've been driving around. It's a lot of fun and would be a real kick with some turbo power. Why buy a turbo one for big bucks when you're going to replace all that stuff anyways. I'm real impressed with the ride and handling, it feels like a real sports car should. Mine's even got some pimp rims.

miata is a fine idea i think. stock na block can handle 400whp, and at that point you are probably looking at low 11s high 10s with a fun tossable car.

my dad just bought a miata, 99 6spd w/limited slip and 17k miles.

I heard the miata is a great drivers car.

You should check out the RSX-S you might like it?

Dont know if you like Toyotas or not but check out the Avalon... They are sweet cars. So comfortable and has some balls too. My buddys parents have one and the car is very nice. Good gas milage too. You can get a brand new 05 for 23k with warrenty and everything, fully loaded.

I just figured I'd be different and suggest something totally different then what everyone else has been saying. But if you really want, get a Evo or something similar.

For your own good, stay away from the european cars. Pick up the current(I think.. I just got it from the store last week) Consumer reports. It's the yearly auto issue. That'll give you a good idea of what is reliable and was isn't. That will cut down your choices some.

Ok....

Or how about a nicely tricked out Black 04 Evo VIII with 6k act then?

I'm digging this Evo ALOT!

Til you realize this guy, like many others, quotes their mileage as what the new engine has, not the chassis. This piece of crap has well over 100k on it according to Carfax. If you're going to get something old like this, you might as well just get another DSM.

That's plain dishonest crap on the sellers part, thanks for the clairification...

No thanks.

I know of a silver one we just had in for some service, I think he is trying to sell it.
Its a 1993 though.

^^Stating that all euro cars are crap is a pretty big statement isnt it? I really disagree... The only non euro car I or my family have ever owned was my eclipse and that was the most unreliable car we have yet to come across. Germans know what they are doing, they dont build tin cans

It all depends on how you take care of the car....

Not really, I, my family, and A LOT of close personal friends have had every type of euro car you can imagine. Since I'm the car guy, I hear all of it... But I knew someone or the other would not like my post, so thats why I added the part about the Consumer Reports. Its from test conducted by them, and by actual owners experiences, non biased facts. Check it out, may shock you.

Anyways, Andy the G35 is a nice car. What color are you looking for, or what does it take for you to like one?..
