What car will give you the best bang for the buck? any car, any car at all. I enjoy reading the car threads so I thought I would start one...

So lets see....porches, vipers, cobras, mustangs, vipers and bmw's all suck.

Bang for the buck defined as?

For the money, & for sheer driving fun, I'd have to say Honda S2000, Toyota MR2, or something like that.

Quality / price = best care for the money....

Maybe The best valued car I should say. I mean are those high priced cars really worth the juice?

There is no such beast :) The bang everyone gets will depend on what they think is bang. I could say I'm incredibly fond of my car and thats its a pretty fast straight line ride, and doesnt do too bad in the twisties, but what about people that favor luxury more? So, it doesnt exist.

Well, if money was the tightest issue and all you wanted was to minimize the amount of money you put into your car in terms of insurance, gas, repairs, etc. but wanted a new one logically the cheapest car on the market would be the one. Perhaps a KIA Rio, hydunai accent, etc., because the more money you put into a car the less you get. $10k versus $20k is a big diff. $20k versus $30k is less. $100k versus $130k is probabaly even less....you get the point :)

1970ish Dodge Dart with a slant 6 indestructable aslong as the body is in decent shape. Should be able to pick one up for around $500 :).


Hmm forgot my beater an 81 plymouth horizan $FREE cause it broke down in my driveway :). I fixed it and have been driving it for about 6 months but now it has started overheating so I'am back to my Galaxie for now. I think some gunk broke lose in the block and has clogged up one of the water pasages in the head but I'am not sure yet.
