[corolla99]

i have a 99 corolla auto which i dont want but got free from my gram.I want now ether a 2004 neon srt-4,lancer,sentra,or cavalier?

[nhiaxeng]

I would stay with the corolla.
REASONS:

1. a neon srt-4 is 23K w/ about 150 hp
2. a lancer is 20K w/ about 125 hp
3. a cavaler is 20K w/ about 125 hp
4. the corolla has about 130 hp and more potential with more available upgrades.
5. you would get about 6k for a trade-in value
6. it costs less than 2k to get a 5-speed swap
7. a turbo for a corolla is less than 3k ( I personally found one on ebay for 1.5K but didn't have the cash to purchase it )
8. STOCKWISE, the COROLLA w/ a 5 speeder can outrun all the other cars you listed
