Car shopping under a criteria
Ok, I'm buying a new car and ridding myself of the POS 1995 Tbird. My parents tell me they want something that will make me happy as long as I pay for it and insurance is not too high. Well they keep putting their foot down on everything because it doesn't meet their criteria that I knew nothing about till now.
I want(ed) a 3Gee(1986 - 1989) Accord and a CRX. They say I can't have them because they would 'like'(MUST HAVE) airbags and can have ABS. So I'm looking for a newer Civic Hatch with driver's side airbags and possibly ABS. Any other opinions would be highly advised. Thanks guys.

What price range are you looking into? Also what will be the main purpose of the car? Commute, autox, drag

Re: Car shopping under a criteria
Can't have an Eclipse, they'er considered sports cars. Thats another criteria, it can't be a sports car. God this is tedious. It will be to commute to school and work, and to tune too.

Re: Car shopping under a criteria
Well then your best bet would be alittle Civic Hatchback, easy to tune, swap the engine out, and your parents from exterior perspective might not even notice a difference, until you start the engine and take off. Also a 1986-1989 BMW 325I or 1986-1989 Mercedes 190E isn't that bad of an idea, not sure on the tuning potential of the cars, but hey it's something different.

Re: Car shopping under a criteria
get an old SE-R sentra or if they're a little older than you'd like get a 200sx se-r or 240sx. they're great cars but nothing spectacular, however there is a lot of potential for mods and engine swaps and can be made very fast once your parents get off your ass.
or look into a maxima. they're great slepers, especially 95-99 and are cheap nowadays.

Re: Car shopping under a criteria
They don't exist. I have a 1996 Camry V6 LE, and the only tranny option is a 4-speed auto. It's still pretty quick though, 188 hp/203 torque in a 3000-lb. body
