So in May I will be buying a new car with about 6-7k to use. It will be my 17th birthday so insurance on these is an issue as well. Currently I have been driving a 94 corolla for a while, and while it's a blast to drive *hah* I think it's finally time to get something new. I don't need a power plant of a car but I would like something with a little pep. So far the cars that interest me seem to be:

Toyota Celica GT 94-99
Honda Prelude si/vtec 93+
Mitsubishi Eclipse 95-99
Acura Integra 94+

Now I know this list might seem a little *ricer* to some of yall but that's hardly my intent. I like keeping a car nice and clean looking, nothing flashy and all. Reliability would also be a concern of mine, as I don't want to be stranded all the time. Must also be 90+ because of airbags.

Are there one of these cars on the list that stand out to you for a certain reason? Or a car that you think would be suited for me that I haven't listed.

The *dream* items of mine would be a manual, rwd, t-top. But usually that combo does not come with a good price or reliability.

Thanks for reading
