Pretty much, my current car is too rusted out to be worth putting anything in it (sadly) so I'm trying to look in the future and get ideas on what my next car could be.. Right now I'd like to limit the budget to 5K$. It's decent money and I don't want insurance to kill me.
The only thing that really came to my mind was the classical teg with an engine swap but it's not quite to my taste..
Preferences (not a must for all but would be nice..):
Manual
RWD
Good to great handling (a must)
Somewhat comfy
Reliable
Power..
Now in a certain order, I'd rather get decent power and reliability than fuel economy.
I like low-revving engines.. something that packs around 2K rpm. I don't want to have to wait to 5K for the engine to haul and have to rev so high all the time. :run:
I'm open to any kind of cars.. I'm asking here for car models and the possibilities they have. Pretty much ideas. It really doesn't have to be specific.
It can be FWD, RWD, even auto..
So guys, any ideas or any models I could keep an eye out for this winter? :bigup:
EDIT:
Ideas that have been offered:
Volvo S70 T5
Toyota MK1 MR2 (SC/t-top)
Early '90s Mazda Miata
BMW E30/E34
Nizzan Z31
Nissan 240SX or Maxima V6
Mustang 5.0
Pontiac GTP
not so likelys:
Camaro '93-'94 LT1 (fuel)
VWs Golf/Audi (electrical issues)
Talon (keep hearing horror stories more than good.. sorry!)
