my outback's trans is flipping out. I'm tired of working on daily drivers more than my track car. So I was thinking, its going to suck to have such a tiny car for a daily again, but at least they are ultimately reliable.

Any thoughts? I'd really don't want to pull the trans in the outback...and I mean really don't want to especially considering I planned on building my miata next month.

Anyone know of good $3k, reliable commuter cars aside from honduh? Hell, I might just buy an old civic hatch.

****, buy a civic if you want dead reliable, cheap transport. Even if you pop the engine, D series are a dime a dozen.

If i didn't have student loans I'd just go buy a ******* is250 like a ******* man.

Its kinda hard to find a civic hatch that hasn't been poz'd by ricers though.

My brothers got a '90 camry that he paid a grand for a few years back. Bought it with 130k...now has well over 200k on it. Talk about money well spent! You can thrash the hell out of it and it doesnt even care. Just keeps on going.

Late model Hyundai or Kia. 2002+ Elantra or Sonata, you can get those for under $5k.

If I lived in texas and didnt have to ever worry about snow I would get a bike for my daily.

I'm buying an E30 325i in the fall to daily drive so I can turn the Miata back into the project car.

You have issues w/ transmissions don't you?

An E30 318is or 325is would be a sweet daily. Tell ya what, go buy a G60 rado as a daily
