I'm interested in them in this particular order (all new, no used):
Mini Cooper S
Dodge Caliber SRT-4
VW GTI
Subaru WRX
Mazda Speed 3
They are all in the same ball park, money wise, but I was wondering if you had any experience with any of them, or heard something bad/good, whatever. I want to know it all. If you have a car suggestion you can add it to the list, maybe I'll look at it.
Ok lets get to the talking part, 
go go go |
i didn't read through the thread but this is my contribution:
MCS- great car, hard to find new because of demand, this would be my choice. Resale value alone is reason enough to buy.
Dodge Caliber- lol but can be had at a steal of a price. i will call this the value of the bunch
VW GTI- gonna be redesigned soon. VW has admitted to its quality failings and many are being lemoned. i know where you can get a good, female driven, used one of these
WRX- this car has serious engine issues. check subie forums for more details
MS3- recently redesigned. redesign is ugly. interior is cheesy but boy is it fast! an amazing car in my opinion. i would buy this over the MCS if speed was a concern. but its close between those two.
Cobalt SS- best performer among all choices, but boy racer looks and crummy interior kill it. i would get it if all around performance was the only concern. but the acceleration fo the ms3 and the handling of the mcs is better
civic si- have you considered this car? definitely the best car for the commuter. light and fun yet still reliable and efficient
thats it. thank you
