Fun daily drivers under 8500??

[Slolane]

I have the camaro if I want to go fast.

:xzbit:

 

[Jokerzl]

I also found an avenger r/t awd 45k 2008 for 8000 one time

You can't do anything to them but they have huge space

 

[PANDA]

Get a GTP and wack those 99-04 GTs stock vs stock. AND be more practical.

There are gxp's that are ls based. I don't like the 60* v6 platform as the bottom end in mine decided to grenade at 108k miles for no reason. Mine was great for the last 8 years but I don't wish to have another.

all gxp gps are ls based, but beyond the engine they have a host more problems than a regular 3800 car, heck they arent much faster either, not much a simple bolt-n L67 could handle

as 10sec said, dont even compare the 3400 to the 3800

do some research but lots of people love their 3800 cars as DD for the power and mpgs and value you can get in a car, for that money you can get a pretty damn clean 04+ comp g i'd imagine!

 

[Boostie]

Any opinions on scion tc's?

 

[10sec]

Not the fastest car in the world, very reliable, and IMO a very nice car. Althought, it's slowly becoming a "girl car".

Still better than a grand prix

Booger, yours for 5k

All I see are girls and 16 yr old boys driving scion tc's around like they are racecars.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Fuck tCs. Seriously. Better than a GP? WTF kinda bathsalts are you smoking?

 

[Bru]

Mid 2000s Corolla XRS, Matrix XRS or Vibe GT. All had the 180-hp Celica GTS engine and most have the six-speed manual transmission. Fun little cars with pep, usability and reliability.

Agreed

 

[Boostie]

As stated before I really do not care about performance, racing, engine mods, ect. The car is going to be driven back and fourth on my 75 mile trip for work every day. Something that looks halfway decent and is reliable is really all I care about. I am not getting a gtp.

If that car hasn't been through wo much hell in its life I would consider lol

 

[Egreen99]

Mazda 3 with a 5 speed
RSX type S
Lexus GS300/400
LT1 firebird/camaro
G35 coupe will need more $$
M45
05+ Accord Coupe 6 speed
CTS 04+
Saab 9-5 aero 05+ 2.3t is a solid motor

I said GP... Get a GP GT or SE before you get a Scion. My first and favorite GP was an SE, base model pimpin' homey.

Look into a RSX type-s! They are fun little cars to drive. You can definitely find one in that price range.

 

[EmersonHart13]

And way better than a tc

 

[Outlaw]

Integra GSR, been swinging on those lately.

Forgot to mention, 3800s are 90* V6s.

I would mind if you drove mine around for a bit, but mines not a type-s. It's actually a base auto. I have driven a fair amount of the type-s though, and I can tell you that it's a much better (and more fun) car to drive than mine. Mine never had problems burning oil, and as far as I know, two of my other friends with type-s's never had problems with them either. Not sure if there were many other HUGE issues. The K series is a pretty solid platform.

Just get a B16 Del Sol.
