Here it is... I think theres a much wider range in prices, but these are the quotes I got...

zevolv, what do you think about T-birds? I like the 87-88 bosy styles the best, but the ones after that were alright. Which do you think is better? the SC or the 5.0L birds? I dont know much about them.

Get the RX-7 man!! Goes well, handles great and looks good! Many mods available to increase performance, and these can easily outrun most stuff on the road!

But.... they drink fuel, and require constant maintenance..... maybe good in a sense cos you pay attention to the engine and learn from it.

I think it is important to get a good handling car, with that then you can learn a lot more from it, rather than constantly fighting against the car round turns.

I don't think he could get a Renault in Canada very easily. Nor the US come to think of it. Yeah If I were you I'd get the cheapest, best gas mileage, durable car on your list. Do some reasearch too see which are the most reliable. You don't need a fast car really. Save the money for a real man's sports car.

BMW E30 ...really cheap and it wont hurt u as much if u crash it ,

a porsche 944 s2 turbo...but look out for exhaust and suspension wear and tear..very imminent after about 60,000 miles.

get a honda prelude vtec 92-26. NA so it will be reasonable with insurance. Still 200hp, but front wheel drive, which is probably safer for an inexperienced driver. Don't be thinking you can just go drifting coz you see that crap on the internet.

No do not get a honda prelude, they are slow, and they are preffered by ricers. Dont get anything rice, youd be suprised by their insurance, because of idiots in our age bracket who just crash them. I say get the AUDI since you live in Canada and with the snow, the AWD will be fun during the winter.

hemi_fan · 01-26-2004, 01:06 PM

Man, these are some very different oppinions. As for the drifting comment goes... well, I may not be able to drift now, but I sure as hell wont be able to learn how to do it properly in a FWD car. Plus theres not really any places I can drift around my neighbourhood except for in Costco parkinglots, so I probably wont be endangering anything there anyways. As for the AWD, I added it because right now its obviously the winter, and I think that car would be absolutely amazing, but what happens when you get to the summer? will the lack of power make it a boring car? Probably next week when I get my liscense i'll go down to some insurrance companies with my list and let them look it over. Im pretty sure the stangs all of the real "Performance Cars" like the stang, supra etc. will be closer to $9000, while the Caprices etc. will be in the lower $4000 range, but thats just my hunch. My current job at Mc'Ds will bring me approx. $8000-9000 per year, so if its $9000 for insurrance, then I can pay it... I just wont be able to drive the car EVER because of gas, repairs, etc. lol

blah · 01-26-2004, 01:12 PM

Woah, 9 grand for insurance a year? Damn, mine is 1500 a year, which is expensive considering i drive a damn Honda Accord Sedan V6. O and the AWD will still be fun during the summer, because you will live for the twisties. But if you havent even gotten your license yet, i cant recommend a powerful car to you. I say get a Honda or something.

NISSAN 240SX 0X

NISSAN 240SX 0X

hemi_fan · 01-26-2004, 11:12 PM

I think the 240SX is probably the best looking car in that list, but I know nothing about them. Got any general Info? maybe I'll check my lemons book. lol. What kinda power they make? Mileage? Reliability?
