Suggestions on a DD within my criteria.
Its come time to get a daily now that I'm getting closer to turboing the miata. Here's my criteria:
1. Under 4k or around that. 2. Possibly turbo from factory 3. Dead reliable 4. I won't want to put a hole in my head from driving it 5. A/c, I've only owned one car with a/c. I need it. A few cars I've been looking at are a Mitsubishi eclipse gsx, another miata with a hardtop, Nissan frontier(older ka model). Let me know if you have any suggestions. |
honda civic.

lol@your criteria
turbo, under 4k, reliable pick two |
honda crx would be good too. Honda reliability, fun, great on gas, has a/c. Try to find one that is bone stock.
|
TDI.
Turbo. Reliable. Might have to spend more like 6k for one. Probably what I will get next. |

My advise to anyone looking for a used car is to buy the best Civic they can afford, and enjoy putting oil, brakes, and tires on it for the rest of time. Sure, little shit might brake, by they will soldier on FOREVER. That, and the same vintage Camry was pretty reliable, and cheap to run, but is soul crushing to drive. /thread |

I said possibly turbo as in I'm not dead set on it.

turbo, under 4k, reliable pick two I'm biased, but i vote one of these: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1346789260 |
I'm sure you could pick up an SRT4 for cheap (probably not $4k cheap, though)
I bet those things aren't cheap to insure, though. A Saab might be up your alley too. A friend of mine picked up a 2001(?) 9-3 for like $2500 in great shape. |
My understanding of the Eclipse is that while it's not actually the complete opposite of "totally reliable", it doesn't entirely fulfill that criteria either.
A '94-'97 Miata, presupposing that you can resist screwing with it, would probably be a good fit. Any well-maintained Civic / Integra / RSX would also work. There aren't a hell of a lot of other cars that really fit the bill, and none of them factory turbos that I can think of. The Neons were surprisingly un-horrible cars if you can swallow your masculinity enough to drive one. We've had two of them in the family, and they were both reliable daily-drivers even when subjected to the most maintenance-averse owner imaginable (my sister.) I'm afraid I don't get the joke about Jon Voight's LeBaron either, even after having visited the Myspace link. (I did, however, learn that Myspace still exists. Who knew?) |
It's a Seinfeld episode. George thought he bought Jon Voight's Lebaron.
