Recommendations on first car?

Question

I'll be getting my first car soon and I wanted to see what everyone here had to recommend for me.

I like imports; think Honda, Acura, Mazda, even VW

I'd be driving mainly around town, but I'd travel far once in a while.

I'd like something that doesn't use a lot of gas.

I like older cars from the late 80's to the 90's.

Manual Transmission and although I'm not a racer I like cars that have a lot of power and that are somewhat fast.

Oh and nothing too expensive!

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

honda accord? acura integra... 1990... stock, and its custom and manual.

Answer 2

Mitsubishi Starion

FCRX7

Golf GTI

Civic Si

Answer 3

Get something Japanese for sure. You mentioned Acura. Those are great. But, if it's a matter of money I would look at Hondas or Toyotas. Mazdas suck. VW can be expensive to maintain.

Answer 4

for $4,000

look for

98 Acura CL, 98 Ford Mustang V6, 98 Honda Accord or Civic, 98 Nissan Frontier or Pathfinder, 98 Subaru Impreza or Legacy, 98 -00 Toyota Corolla or Echo 00

these are all reliable and will last longer than other cars in this price range.

for around $6k an Acura Integra 98-99 is a great car.

one thing, check with your insurance company first, some are charging more for this car due to it being stolen and wrecked a lot since young "tuners" have adopted it.

Answer 5

If you have the money to do so a moderatley S****y car with a biofuel conversion gas tank would suit you well. You have to have a diesel tank for it but as featured on the series 'ROB and BIG' the engine runs off of vegtable oil and grease! :D
