civic vs. miata vs. e30 bmw

[Stedman05]

I have a 92 honda civic hatchback with manual tranny and I was thinking about selling it for either a e30 bmw 325is or a 1.8 miata. I'm thinking about selling the civic because fwd has just gotten really boring to drive, plus it is low on power, but it gets 40 mpg. The bmw has got a lot of power and it is fairly practical but it only gets 23 mpg hw and that sucks pretty bad. The miata has got a fair amount of power to it plus it gets 30 mpg hw, but it is pretty impractical. Should I keep my civic or should I get the miata or the bmw? By the way, if I were to get the miata, would I be able to put my 17 inch rims with 205/40 tires on it without it rubbing.

[BLU CIVIC]

would do better putting this in the car comparison forum

the miata is low powered as well.. the bmw would cost a pretty pennny to maintain..

shouldn't have a prob with 17'' on a miata..
