First Post, which car should I choose

Hello all! I'm relatively new here. I've been a long time reader, and this is my first time posting:

What type of car should I get? I know this question has been done to death, but I'm serious here...

I want an inexpensive vehicle (As I plan to purchase an expensive bike down the road) that is quick and effecient.

Now, the gst/gsx... or the ESI? I'm looking for a 94-95... Which should I chose? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. I deffinately want it turbo'd and manual (As well as AWD).

So no to the TSI, but yes to the GSX?

Which is cheaper? More fuel economic?

why not 97-99 gsx or tsi ( 98 ) model , cause I hear alot of shit problem on 95, when you buy it , make sure it is in good condition , low mile , or engine rebuild , or else you will spend alot of money to fix it more then what you want to mod your car, and btw if u want More fuel economic, dont get a turbo , get a regular car . But turbo is SWEET to own .

The TSI will be cheaper for whatever reason, nobody knows. Cheaper on insurance too.

If you are buying a turbo DSM for fuel economy, your an idiot. There are hundreds of other cars to choose from that get WAY better MPG. The point of buying a turbo car is for the speed and power, not the gas mileage. If you want gas mileage, get a honda or kia.

It's all about preference. If you like the way the talons look, then get a talon. They are basically the same car, just a little different body.

Turbo DSM is not for you. Get a N/T. (wow I actually recommended get a N/T )
