Which car I should buy? Please advise

yehanxue · #1 07-10-2003, 02:03 AM

Hi Guys:
I'm ready to get a new car, but I don't know which car I should buy. I'm prepare to spend 50000-55000 CAN ( about 41000 US ). I like Toyota Supra, but my girlfriend insist on buying a brand new car. She doesn't like used cars. So Please give me some advise... By the way, the car must be easy to mod. Thanks.

Another thing I should tell is she doesn't like Subaru cars, she said it is too ugly, and I knew Subaru cars are good. Sigh.....

Performance and Looks are important to me

S4 (slightly used one)
SVT Cobra
RX8 (when it comes out)

RX-8 , so far great reviews on handling, ride and brakes. And great value. (<--I have a deposit down on a 6MT model)

G35 Sport Coupe, great value, excellent engine, above average handling and braking and high content. Lousy rear head room.

G35 sedan, like the coupe just a bit slower and softer. But more practical.

BMW 330i Performance Package (not sure if it's available in Canada). If it is, it pushes the price limit, but great car.

Why dont you get what YOU like instead of your girlfriend. Since you are paying for it and all.

I'd say the RX-8 or an M3.

But since you live in Canada, I think they are only getting a few RX-8's there

yehanxue · #8 07-13-2003, 01:41 AM

M3 is too expensive for me

New:
Corvette C5
Mitsubishi EVO VIII
etc.

Used:
Supra MKIV Turbo
NSX
M3 Coupe E46 (pushing it though)
E55 AMG
etc.

Miata? He said he wants to spend around $41k US...I mean sure you could make a really mean Miata...but I dont think this is what he's going for

You want damn good looks and damn good performance for around $41,000? Then I would say buy a slightly used Lotus. That is the way to go.

Hands down 2003 SVT Cobra...

$35,000 for a 12.7 1/4 mile and handling to match go...

And you want to talk about mod potential???? This is your car, man.

Yes the 03 SVT Cobra is very nice. It looks good and with a MSRP of $38,460 US (and you could probably get it closer to the invoice) you would have 3k-6k US (depending on if you pay closer to invoice or msrp) to spend in mods
