I need help picking a good first car. I've got about 3 or 4 grand to spend, but i cant decide which one i want. (i want something that i can have fun with)

I wanted a cavalier, but most of them are automatics.

Any ideas?

3 or 4 grand U.S. dollars?

You need to narrow it down a bit more, there are tons of fun cars you can get in that price range...
- I assume you want manual transmission only?
- Do you care if the vehicle is FWD, RWD, or AWD?
- What vehicle brands would you consider purchasing from?

3 or 4 grand can net you a beat up 1g GSX.

do you want a sporty car. do you want a sedan or coup, what engine would you like to have, do you want to be able to mod it easly, do you want import or domestic, front wheel drive rear wheel drive or all wheel drive, high hp or high low end torque. lots of choices out there just gotta figure out what fits you best

one of the older MR2s can be had relatively cheply and they're quick as hell. same with the fieros. you're gonna have a hard time finding a quick car in nice condition though, but it can be done.

We can't decide for you, just go around the local car lots... local papers or online for something that catches your eye.


C'mon back when you've found your ride.
