hey guys. ok, first off: no truck, drfrank. trucks = bad. haha, i said something practical and efficient on gas, like around 30mpg. and i dont need to haul lots of stuff around so i wouldnt want a truck

R34- As i said, im in college and I cant afford a new car, whether it be an xrs, ser, or a type s. i posted the years and cars i would be in the market for. The 200sx SER is pretty nice, but it's a 2-door, and im looking for a 4 door, and they stopped making them in 98. And the 200sx is FWD, by the way.

As of right now, i think im leaning towards the 2000-2001 nissan sentra SE. It it powered by one of the best 4-cyl engines ever, the SR20DE, which is as reliable as any honda/toyota engine, and does have a big aftermarket. All of you that are saying the sentra is crap, well on the b15 forum, the 1.8L GXE and the 2.5L SE-R have all had their fair share of problems, but the biggest problem the SE owners have has was an occasional starter problem or something like that. The SR20 doesnt have a timing belt to change every 60k either, which the integ or corolla will. And most SE owners are getting 30+ mpgs.
The integras cost about 2-3K more than a same year sentra or corolla, and the insurance will be more costly as well. And the corollas just seem very bland and dont have as good of handling as the sentra.
