They are actually all frail, the 2.5rs engine is one of the weakest.

I've had 4 of them with various high dollar Jdm swaps.

Re: What do you think a fun cheap dd is?

A basic subaru would be a fun daily in the winter time and given the thought of not modding it, i wouldn't mind driving as a daily.

Can you get one for $5000 that isn't beat to fuck? That was what I was getting at. You forget that there is a big Asian tax on old Civics here in MN.

Re: What do you think a fun cheap dd is?

Would be hard to find any cars listed that arent rust buckets with high miles, unless maybe you go south again. My M3 had some rust on it with only 90k miles, e36s in general rust out pretty fast.

You had a 330, why didnt you just keep that lol.

Re: What do you think a fun cheap dd is?

I was just bringing some car discussion to our car forum, thought it would be interesting since we have all driven different cars.

I like the old E30 suggestion that has come up a lot.

Actually kracka's neon suggestion is something an amateur racer friend of mine drives, I'll ask him what he thinks.

Does this mean audi's aren't cool anymore, lol.

Re: What do you think a fun cheap dd is?

haha yea good discussion for sure. I wouldnt say audis are a great drivers car, they are comfy, and great all weather cars, they dont rust out as fast as bmws or others. Because racecar, audi wont work for you, unless you up your price range and get a R8. lol

Although my B7 A4 S line was very fun modded up, handled really well with upgraded springs and shocks, as well as sways and they are getting pretty cheap now.. Sub 10k. K04 turbo upgrade and you get nearly 300hp and tqs.

Why not just DD the dsm you have, not a good dd?

Re: What do you think a fun cheap dd is?

I needed to bump the price a bit and picked up an 07 Imprezzzzzzza. It's basic yet simple. Phone covers the lack of GPS, and it's AWD with lower miles for the year. It's clean, rust free, and I can pay it off in 8-10 months.

A good daily also relates to the route you drive. For me it's 7 miles of back roads each day. Never above 40 mph unless I hit the freeway on a holiday with no traffic. I'd rather put the miles on something like this and have a fun summer/weekend car to really enjoy (which is planned)...

Have Neon SRT-4's gotten that cheap yet? What about the Neon ACR? I'm sure most those are hacked up by now though.
Change my vote to srt4. Wont get much more fun for the price.

Nice shot there, I'd like an A7 of some sorts in the long distant future, they are beautiful.
I do like having a racecar though.

FUnny you say audi's aren't great drivers cars, but of course the one you had fit the bill.

DD a DSM?
Been there done that, and auto's are mega boring esp. for my little drive.

Nice, I have a 4.6 mile drive, about 2 of it is neighborhood and the rest is a 55-65mph divided highway with some curves. Be good for some pulls, which I will be doing in the summer time.

I don't remember the last time I was in one, but I have sat in them and I know the seats are comfy.

My friend said his old dodge spirit is perfect, turbo noises, decent power and gets over 30mpg mixed, his gf would get high 30s with hers.

A shit ton of room in those old things and giant trunks too.

As far any more person shots at me, I get bored super easy usually 9 months is the longest I usually hang onto cars.
I've kept a handful longer than that, but right now I do have desire to try and drive some real drivers cars and then to just get into some old shit for the heck of it.

Will it happen? probably not, too many other things that I have to spend money on that I WOULD rather spend money on, but having some knowledge of what out there is nice.

If you want a really cheap DD, I know of a Galant that is super cheap. Only needs a transmission! Now you can feel free to LOL at that.
