I didnt know where else to post but heres the story. So im on the market for a new ride and i cant decide what to get. Im 20 years old and currently going to school and work while living with my mom at home. I make about $1,200 a month working 30 hours a week ($10 per hr + comission). I currently have an ek but im planning on getting rid of it. My mom is co-signing for me/getting a loan for me, but ill be paying for the payments. Here are my choices..

Salvaged due to theft (front seats), but was replaced..
07 civic si w/ less than 1k miles on it for $14,000


Salvaged due to being hit on the right fender and door, but everything was replaced with oem parts and lines up perfectly fine.
04 subaru wrx w/ 21k miles for $11,500


Salvaged due to frame damage on the the front bumper/headlights, but was also replaced with oem parts and everything lines up prefectly fine.
05 nissan 350z w/ 35k miles for $14,000


All these cars are manual. Ive been driving for 4 years w/ a clean record, and i wont be paying for insurance..

 

350z....
since your already coming up w/ such good deals i would take this chance to move up a class bracket ....if you plan on modding and going for the "tuner" looking car id go w/ the subaru......
but if you want a nice clean daily driver that you intend to mod slowly and save money for parts id go w/ the 350z.....

 

yeah, im tired of driving a civic so i kind of want to move up with something better. Keep in mind that this will be my daily driver. The only thing i plan on doing to any of these cars are rims and suspension. Other than that, no engine work.

 

Damn, moving up in the world.

350z FTW

Sell me your window visors lol. I'm too cheap to buy them new.

 

Nissan 350Z

The WRX isnt too bad of a deal either but as stated before the Z is a little more "classy" than the others.

 

sti... you wont like the 350 after a while

 

why wont i like it after a while? and its not an sti, just a wrx..

 

i say its more of a track car than anything, turning is so sensitive and responsive. On long trips or highway your always moving the steering wheel alot to keep straight. At night when using blinkers the lights turn on and off because its really easy to turn them off. Its hard to see out of the back of them in the rear view mirror, windows are small drivers side and passenger.Too many blind spots. Slower than the s2. im 5'11 175lbs i dont think im too big for the car but i might.My dad likes his, but i really dont.Thats just my 2 cents though. I'd take an s2 over the 350, and the wrx or sti over the s2000. It all depends on really what you want. I drive far to work everyday and its pretty much all highway so it does no good for me. Its a nice looking car, handles really well in turns and what not.

 

I have two friends who had 350's and they b0th got bored of it and bought bikes.

 

My decision was pretty much down to the wrx or the 350..the civic is just out there because its pretty much brand new with barely any miles on it. I drive about 60 miles everyday to work and back so im looking for a good daily driver/all around car..

 

im surprised none of you HTers said the si haha

 

Done any test drives? my dd is an ek bitch is badass, saves gas looks hella clean, and it can fit all my **** in it since its gutted yo.

 

All those cars are completely different, so it depends what you are gonna use it for. If you want to go camping, or haul people around or just love the sound of turbo, get the wrx. If you just want to have fun and can live with the gas milage, and only have 2 seats, and just want to be really showy get the 350z. If you want something super reliable, cheap on gas, rev happy, has 4 seats, and is pretty modest, get the Si. I would personally get the 350z cuz I am a savage like that.

haha..the only passenger that normally gets in my car is my girl, other than that, all my friends have there own cars that they love to drive..so people carpooling with me isnt an issue. Also, camping and going to places where i need to carry a lot of things with me also isnt an issue, i have my moms suburban/friends suv's for that This is just my daily driver, to get me to work, school, or just simply get around.

 

get the wrx.

 

out of those choices...id go with the WRX

 

350Z hands down.

 

value wise 350z

 

i love 04 05 wrx's

 

350Z

 

The Z looks tempting but unless you know exactly what was damaged and how well it was repaired I would never buy a wrecked vehicle.

Civic.

WRX

350z maybe

 

go for the Z
