My father is the president of the southwest Nissan Xterra club. Let me tell you, Fourwheelin is hella fun but it is also expensive too. My father has a 2000 Xterra XE 4x4 and a 2001 Xterra SE 4x4 and they both can go just about anywhere. We rarely get stuck. Wranglers are nice too but they have a short wheel base. My dad also has an 88' Cherokee with over 300k on it that will go anywhere too and my mom just bought a 2002 Liberty limited and she got 0% apr for five years. A lot of people love wranglers (I do) but I have seen many tip over backwards and they suck for everyday driving unlike the truck based SUV's. Just depends what you want. If you just want a daily driver then just get anything. a friend of mine just got a new Yukon Denali and it's sweet but he pays almost $800.00 a month. I think you could get the jetta tranny rebuilt for around $1,500.00 so that would be a good deal.

Get a Subaru WRX...stock with a turbo. I test drove one of these things, and my friend had to pry me away from the steering wheel. If i sell my civic and chip in an extra 20G i can get one....

VWs are expensive to repair and everyone that I know that has one has a ton of problems with it.

What about a 240SX?

If you want to find a good resource for the MX-6 go to www.probetalk.com (Ford Probe/MX-6 same car).

I'd avoid both the Neon and the Cavilear.

Although, I guess it depends on how much you want to spend.

I'm really feeling the MX-6. I know probes are the same thing but everyone has them around my way too (cuz they're a little cheaper than the MX-6 they are also more regular)

last opinion I'm gonna my people of honda-acura.net:
what car do you like better? and Which one has better performance?

1)Mazda MX-6
2) Eclipse/Talon
3) Saab 900 (non-turbo)

hit me back.

i'm not sure any of those cars are too reliable....i vote 240sx as well or even do a classic SE-R (91-94) they can be found for under 2000 easy and a DET swap is maybe another 2 and BAM you have a 13 second car

Eclipse/Talon with the 4G63T is going to be the best performer of that group. The non-turbo Saab 900 is going to be slow. The turbo 900s can be fast, but they're very expensive to upgrade. I almost bought one, but they're also very expensive to fix.

its not a bmw man, quoted $2500 from the dealer, and we all know what a ripoff dealers are..

plus its more fun to drive than my hybrid, hondas just lack a personality..
