What is wrong with Porsche? I think they are cute. If you are going to demean it then at least have the decency to spell its name correctly. I have had a Corolla before, and I did like it. That is an option.RoyalOrleans said:Here's the thing... buy a mid-size economical, practical vehicle. Like a Camry, Corolla, Accord, Maxima, or an Altima. Believe me, you thank me for it later. Great on gas, low maintenance, and has every bit of style and status as a piece of **** Porche.

Also-go out and learn to drive a stick. Trust me. You'll never want to drive an auto again. It's soooo much more fun. And you'll never have to worry about what kind of tranny a car has again when you're looking at buying a vehicle (unless you decide you don't want to drive auto and look for that in a vehicle. Which could be why I'm partial to VW. They make lots of manuals.)
snafu said:Tori I hope you know that driving with two feet is extremely dangerous.
I don't know why but I pictured you as a safe driver.
Only race car drivers and Sammy Hagar dose that.
LOL. You know I have heard several older people say this very same thing. I find it utterly amusing every time. There is absolutely no evidence that driving with two feet is dangerous. No studies have shown this and it makes no logical sense, yet the popularity of this statement has not dwindled over the years.angie said:Tori, not to be a bitch, but please-learn to drive like the rest of us. Snafu is right, it is dangerous. I get tempted to do so when I drive an auto because my poor left foot gets bored, but I find that the few times I actually tried it, I couldn't get the pressure right. I suppose my Dad screaming at me for trying to do it when he taught me how to drive might have something to do with it, he said he refused to let me drive like a girl . And I hated the fact that he made me drive stick (at first) and once I got used to it, I loved it. Yeah it sucks when you get stuck in traffic, but overall, is much better.
And BTW-LOVE the RX7.

Think you that does help. Especially the link.Hamza123 said:RX-7 is a GREAT choice if you have the moulah. BTW, standard saves money on gas considerably as you strictly use on what you need, thats when the tramsmisson and the drive shaft come into play. I also respect the fact that you like the Eclipse 95-98 as it's a great looking underated car it's also fast. Are you into exotic, tuner, luxury, or just family cars?
Exotic
For a great priced, safe, yet considerby fast and efficient exotic car, I would recommend:
2001 LS1 SUPERCHARGED CONVERTIBLE CORVETTE 450HP RWHP
Or
92 Acura NSX
Reason for my choosing of these is because these are the cheapest, yet best buy out there for Exotic cars. Unless you have 250,000 dollars to spare for a brand new Ferrari F50, these are your best exotic bets!
Tuner
Tuner cars can be generally any cars. They must be tuned to classify under Tuner though. I recommend:
Japanese Cars like, the Honda Accord, Toyta Camry, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mitsubishi 3000GT, Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima, Honda Civic (If you're a ricer lol), and lastl but not least, the Toyota Supra.
Luxury
Yummy luxury cars! I definitley love these! Not only can you have speed but you ride in class and most definitley in style. You can fit the whole family in too! I recommend.
Chrysler 300 (Just came out); Not only is it so damn luxurious but it comes with many electronic features, it also looks like a $150,000 Bently! All you need is this car, and some chrome rims and you're set. It's also very roomy! Also it's not pricey at all!
Lexus : LX 4x4 1999: Sure it's six years old but DAMN! It's such a good looking car. It's got the room of a hummer, and the luxury of an Escalade... If I had to choose from all these cars in your budget, it's this one! It's an SUV BTW, so it's safe, roomy, great for children, and luxurious!
Cadillac DeVille 2001: GOOOD LOOKING!! CHEAP, AND IT'S ROOMY LIKE A BOAT! I just love this car so I had to put it on this list.
Family
The hottest family car in the market right now is the Toyota Sienna. For many reasons this car is popular, but mainly becuase it's one of the safest cars ever built, it's a great family van, and some the the nicest electronic features out there. This is my number one recommendation in the Family section.
Other Recommendations:
Jeep Commander
For Explorer
Volkswagen Passat
Toyota Corolla
Honda Odessy
