Which new compact car would make the best pocket rocket?

[moe182]

naw, im just not a fan of the looks of that VW....i just cant see myself in that car ya know? I mean they are great cars...my sis has a VW Jetta. But its just not me.
Im really just down to the RSX and Celica. The RSX has heated seats (I live in Canada, and when its like -10 or -20* C its a big plus) but i think the celica has more character because less people have them, because like the integra everyone will have the RSX soon. But the RSX is new and wont be redesigned for a while. who knows about the celica. From what i hear the Celica's technoligy is OK , nothing special, but not out dated...the RSX i would think would have an edge there. Plus i think the RSX is a bit cheaper. I do plan to do a bit of aftermarket work, but nothin major like going to shows or anythin. Just enough so its just personalized, so im not too concerned about the after market parts for either. So yea, id be glad to hear everyones opinion on my problem here....

Perhaps you should post a new poll, but with only two options...

Well i got my chevy z24 stolen 3 weeks ago so im now looking for a new car which i will buy in the next 2 weeks yay! and i was also considering those choice, except fot the wrx which is a little more expenseive.

I must say that i have a little preference for the GTI. Like kbslacker said, i wont see any of those on the road. RSX is looking good, but i went to the dealer and he sold 20 in a few days. How many will there be on the road in a few months?

As for the luxury, does the RSX has a windshield washer heated nozzle as do the GTI? Very useful up here in Canada.

Civic Si-R is also good looking and will probably be cheaper then GTI, RSX, WRX and Celica. As for the Ford, let's just not talk about it.

Have you though about the Mercedes C230 Kompressor? If you don't put to many options, the price is in the same range then the WRX, and you can't beat the luxury of a Mercedes.

Well that's it gotta get to work now

where do you live in Canada?? Where i live i've never seen it below like -10*C well maybe like once.... It's the same here as it is in detroit

[MiSter MAn]

I live in Los Angeles, Canada

[flylwsi]

note for the focus...
i voted for it... b/c i am equal opportunity
also... its not a ford
its an svt vehicle.
it has a motor built by cosworth, who is, oh yeah, one of the best engine builders in the world.
it has a getrag six spd in it. oh hell no... nice piece
and the rest of the parts are nicer than a reg focus...
hell... the thing has 170hp and 145tq...
when you consider the tq number of an si with 160hp and 110tq... hmm... not like i dont like the other cars
i love the vw and wrx... big faves...
but i like the svt focus too...

[Evil_potato]

Hey Gang$tarr, i don't know where you live in Canada, but in here(10 min. north of Montreal) in january days bellow -10c a very rare.

[gang$tarr]

that's what i said, it's never below -10*C

[Porsche]

That's not Canada, Here in Ottawa, it easily gets down to -20 C it was once -51 C with the windchill.

[moe182]

I live in Hamilton and it CAN get to -10 or -20 not often, but its on THOSE days you either really want or are really greatful that you have heated seats. And in southern ont its gotten as cold as -40 something *C (with windchill)........

[gang$tarr]

i'm not countin windchill though

hey moe i was visting friends in hamilton and i saw a brand new Bentley Arnage there... with some mexicans drivin it

ever seen it?

[moe182]

Naw, cant say that i have.....
