My last car kinda caught on fire while I was getting my exhaust put on so now I am searching for a new car and have come across a few but I don't know much about the choices...they are:

94 Mazda MX6
98 Ford Contour SVT
92 BMW 318iS

Any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

The Contour has the best performance and is probably the most reliable.
