Dependability, handling, speed...in that order I suppose but I don't wanna give up one for the others

 

[b0mbrman]

Here's some candidates...

Used S2000
Used RSX Type S
Used MR-Spyder
New Mazdaspeed Protege

And a couple dark horses

New 350z
Used Integra Type R...

Any thoughts?

 

[WinkOsmosis]

1995-1997 240sx SE .

350z > S2000> RSX Type-S would be my choices but I doubt you will get a 350z for MSRP and that is already $26K

how about a 2002 Nissan Maxima, that is probably a little over your budget but not way over like the Z

a 2001 Maxima i think would also be nice IMO the 2k3 ones look like ass in the back

you could also get an 2003 Accord Sedan/ Coupe they are pretty fast but they are over your budget also and dont come in Manual

those cars might be too big for you tho

I dont like small cars

there is always the Rice up your current RSX

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

How about an off-lease A4?

All I gotta say... 1997 E320

Is the Altima worth a test drive?

Altima's are known for their crappy interiors IMO give them a couple more years and they will be great

I think if you are gonna go Nissan go with a 2001/2002 Maxima SE same price range an IMO superior than the current altima

i think the rear lights are just plain ugly

the 2000 - 2002 current Maximas are beautiful IMO but the 2003 just slaughtered it wit the ugly tail lights (I am talking only about SE models)

I think the interior of the 2003 Altima is much improved.

 

[GasX]

Get a 2001 Ford Contour SVT

That will cost you $14,000. You can buy an extended warranty for <$1000.

If you want a faster car and want to spend $20,000, buy a supercharger. You'll have a 294HP sports sedan and STILL have enough left over for a kick ass stereo.

Get an import. All the backwards upside down sun visor wearing kids seem to dig em.

If you like American steel:

2000 Lincoln LS (unfortunately only the V6 comes manual)
2000-2002 Chrysler 300M (autostick)



Then the good stuff:
2000-2002 Maxima SE (mchammer187 said it first)
1998-2000 A4 1.8T Quattro (Stage II or Stage III kits)
2001 TL-S (autostick)
2002 WRX (new exhaust)
Altima is worth a test drive but I concur that Nissan needs at least another year to smooth the rough edges. My fiance loves the look and the drive. I like the look not the drive (3.5SE/auto).

Why would he go from a relatively quick NEW car to an old slow car?

I'm not really into American...shame though, there's some good prices on used American cars

Unless you plan on winding it up to 9,000+ RPM's all the time, then an S2000 isn't really *that* much of a performer. It's quick, but around town, a turbocharged 4 cylinder, or modest 6 cylinder is going to feel faster.

 

[vi edit]

Also, my boss had an S2000, but ditched it in favor of a Boxter S because the Honda was just a dud until you wound it up.

You're looking for low 20's & you're thinking about an S2000?

Good luck.

MSRP is around $33,000, & they're in high demand.

Viper GTS

Hehehehe. When I first read your poster Viper I thought you were recommending a Viper GTS Althought I would recommend on I think they are a bit out of his price range.

How about an 1993 RX-7?(If you can find one.) I really like these cards but they are hard to find and would cost a lot to get worked on. (Rotary engine)
