Im starting to save some money for a new car, so I need help on wich one to choose. The price range is around 10 k, so far I found these 4 for around that price. Mazda RX-8, Nissan 300ZX, Subaru WRX, Toyota MR. What do you guys think about these cars?

Toyota mr, make it hard top and supercharge that! That'd be original.
Second choice would be the zx wich is a great machine. This post has been edited by trebilihp: Oct 3, 2010 - 9:58 PM -------------------- -PHILI-  |

depends on what year wrx, I'd personally get an mr2 just because I'm a toyota freak. The wrx's are nice though, the nissan is bleh and the rx-8 is alright but I personally don't like rotary because I'm oblivious as to how to work on them.

Don't get an RX8 those are stupid. Just get a 91 RX7 turbo. That'll be faster and better looking.
As for WRX... eh. I see too many. 300ZX is a great car. Just get the TT model. Toyota MR... is that the MKI, MKII, or MKIII? You needa be specific bro. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Rotary engines aren't known for stellar reliability. I looked into the RX8 myself for a while on the same budget you have, but I ruled the RX8 out simply because I never saw one for sale with more than 75,000 miles. Makes me question what happens to that rotary engine after 75,000 miles.
Nissan 300ZX- Great looking cars, fun. But they're aged. Reliability could be an issue with those. Not to mention that you're paying the same price for what is definitely an older car than the rest. Plus the 300ZX isn't the greatest platform for a decent build. They aren't bad, but you can get a better base. WRX- Nice cars. Fun. Decent reliability if treated well in their past life. Practicality of 4 doors, a full back seat, and a usable trunk. Toyota MR2- First gen- No. Second gen- Older cars, reliability could once again be an issue. Fun though. Third gen- If you can get over the flamboyant styling, they have nice interiors and they're a fun car. My suggestions- Lexus IS 300- not the car most people think it is, but it's classy and reliability is proven. Aftermarket support is endless. Cons include intrusive stability control and high insurance premiums. BMW 3 Series- Try to go for a 330. Anything under a 330 is a little underpowered. But they're a proper car with a BMW badge, so reliability isn't a question. Plenty of fun. Very classy. Cons might be repair expenses. Honda S2000- Very fun car, insane reliability, decent gas mileage, and it's a roadster. Good marks for Honda there. Cons are that it's a roadster, so safety is an issue, and it wouldn't make a good winter car. Nissan 350Z- Quick, plenty of fun, and they look great. Expensive insurance though. Acura RSX- Don't get hung up on that whole "It's a Honda" thing. The RSX is a very fun car, great reliability, aftermarket support, and it looks good. Cons.. Well, I haven't driven enough RSX's to find any real cons. I'm sure it's flawed somehow. If you've got $10,000 cash, you can buy a mkIV Supra. Older car, of course, so unknown reliability. But it's a mkIV Supra. Need I say more? -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Since I own a wrx and a MK2 MR2 I am a bit biased. WRX for practicality, MR2 for playing.
