I didn't want to jack dustin's thread so...My GF and myself were thinking of saving up a bit to put a down payment on something newer. So far, these are the choices...
I know they all aren't in the same price range, but I/we are willing to spend a bit more for something a little more luxurious/classy (TL/G35). Looking for something between $25-30k CAD. Car prices up here are a bit more expensive than they are stateside, but if you guys can suggest anything else that fits in the price range, please post it up and WHY. Just to compare, a few local guys imported a couple brand new 06-07 sti's last year from the states, and they ended up being close to $5-6k CAD chepaer landed (after import taxes/duty/gst/excise/whatnot). Let me know! Thanks! |

The Civic Si is over rated. Only buy it if you're a die-hard Honda lover.
G35 is just a cheap, lower quality 350z, don't bother. 350z. An option, but I drove one the other day and wasn't that impressed. No space, so its just a fun car, but too heavy to really be amazing IMO. If you want something fun, go with a WRX. Sadly, they're mainly driven by rich teenagers, so you certainly won't get that classy look. TL has great handling and speaks of class, but isn't really a good sports car IMO. My votes so for the TSX. You get the class of a high quality Acura, but still with enough pep and bragging rights to be a very fun car to drive. If you want something like a TSX, but a little less class, and a bit more tuner/peppy/racing elements consider a RSX-S Lastly, don't forgot about an RX-8...all round amazing car... You could also look into an Audi TT or a Mini Cooper... This post has been edited by tin_foil: Apr 26, 2007 - 12:56 PM --------------------  |

You vote for the TSX but not for the Civic SI!? They're basically the same thing also... except the TSX has a bored/stroked version of the K20 and has 4 doors... Audi TT = VW GTi. Mini Cooper = no power no size no space. I dunno... but the RX-8 in stock form is probably the most overrated compact sports car. Runs the 1/4 mile in low 15's to mid/high 14's!?
