Default Damn it! What now?

I called insurrance and found out that getting a 240SX will be 400 more a year than my friggin Del Sol. Now my question is: since my parents won't let me get a 240SX, what should I get. I don't want another frigging FWD car. I want something that is RWD, handles well stock, is nice, 2-door preferably, and has the luxuries such as power windows/locks, sunroof, and cruise. It has to be something that is easy to get in a 5-speed. Screw gas mileage, screw everything else. I am just tired of driving my economy car posing as a sports car. I don't care about racing or the like. I just don't want a butt ugly car. I like the look of the sol but hate the understeer and FWDness. Help is much appreciated and all opinions accepted.

you don't care about racing or the like, but can't stand the sol because it's a fwd economy car. :eh: i think you need to check your priorities.

Not sure how much you have but a 318 would seem to be a nice fit, or maybe a Miata if you aren't interested in being heterosexual.

1st gen Miata = awsome car.

they always clean up at auto-x - even stock - just a bit underpowerd

second gen doesn't handle as well, but had more power




Miata's, if you've ever driven one, you wouldnt' call it a homocar.

I agree. I actually like the Miata a lot. RWD is for driving people. You don't have to race to be a driving person smart guy. On the other hand, I'll probably Auto-X it a few times. The 318 is nice, but for power to weight it's very underpowered.
