Not great on gas though... and they're SO overpriced! Drifting did to 240s what F&F did to Civics...

my friend has kept up with a porsche carrera in his dodging traffic.

[deevergote]

Sentra SE-R maybe... I've searched for one, and I can't seem to find a good one around here.

Infiniti G20 is probably one of my top choices at the moment...

Black leather would be a plus

Back looking for a DD car eh?

I still think that the best things to fit your criteria would be:

240sx
miata
cb7
cd5
civic
maxima
focus

240sx:
Yeah, drifting has f'ed up the values of the cars just like F&F did to civics, but if you can find a non beat on one (stock) for a decent price, they are pretty basic cars, parts are cheap, and a decent aftermarket for them now.

miata:
Nice and fun car to drive. Power sucks, but they handle well, and RWD. I kinda want to make a track car out of one since they are cheap.

cb7:
If I needed a daily driver for dependability and gas mileage, a CB7 would be the FIRST place I would look. Yeah, you kinda get burnt out after a little while, but you cant beat the dependability.

cd5:
A little newer, and a different look, but still some reasonable dependability. A little different engine, and you can always have vtec! Or you could shoot for a v6, and s/c it. But then you have an auto

civic:
Perfect daily cheap cars. Yeah, they do feel cheaper, but you can make them a fun little car for not much money, and they can handle pretty decently. Not to mention a whole crapload of replacement parts, and aftermarket support for whatever you want and its all cheap.

maxima:
they have a bit more power than accords, and the older ones actually look pretty good. They have some aftermarket support, and torque! At least more than we are used to.

focus:
yeah its a ford, but the good side of that is that you can get one for cheap thanks to the great resale value! They arent awesome, but they are pretty good for daily driving, and decent on an autocross track.

3500 can get you a 99 camaro v6 under 100k miles. runs high 14's

[h22sparkle]

Not great on gas though... and they're SO overpriced! Drifting did to 240s what F&F did to Civics...

not only that they are considered to be a sports sedan by some insurance companies so be prepared fo ryour shit to go up for no reason.

a person at my work got one of those..

been in the shop about 3 times since it was purchased.... about 4 months ago. Looked like a pretty well taken care of car also.

Im sorry but if I was looking for dependability, I sure aint putting my job on the line for a domestic.

[verothacamaro]

MX3 is trash... nearly sold the CB7 for one before I woke up MX5 is too impractical (AccordWarrior spent a week talking me out of that idea... not to mention, they're pretty pricey for a decent one). MR2 is a possibility. NA would probably be necessary, though... which would always kinda bug me (same with a 300zx... another one I would like)

miata, impractical? FR setup with a trunk

Whats a midengined mr2 with a glove box? .....abstract?

[deevergote]

The MR2 is just as impractical (though a bit cheaper, if I look at the 80s models). Plus, the MR2 doesn't have a ragtop! If I got a Miata, I would need to get a hardtop with it!
