Well, the gas prices are getting higher, and with us going to war, they will only get worse. So im gonna buy another car. Im looking for something with class and style, yet with good gas milage also. I looked into the mini's and they just seem too small for my liking. Right now im seriously considering a late 90's dodge avenger 4 cyl. Ive always liked the looks, they get good gas mileage, reliable, not very common and roomy. Ive also been looking at the new S class jags. They are very stylish, very classy, and they have a v6 model. Gas milage wouldnt be as good.. but would be alot better than my rx7. The rx8 is another choice im looking at, but the gas mileage isnt the best on that either. Im just kinda looking for input from other people to what they would choose for a nice daily driver with good gas mileage. Im going to try to put my price cap at around 25k, i dont want to spend too much on a daily driver, i still have to mod my 7 more..



No hondas, no echos, no lancers, no electrics... lol.. cause the ones out now are ugly, and the brand new ones are too expensive.



Remember... classy too! This is why I like the jaguar so much. Chicks have to dig it... : And it has to fit 4 people comfortably.

Turbo II 03-18-2003 12:38 AM

jags eat a **** load of gas too. v6 or v8's remember. best bet sorry to say is a honda https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

sidewinderx7 03-18-2003 12:45 AM

booooo... you suck! :-p

Turbo II 03-18-2003 12:47 AM

just being honest. hondas dont eat a lot of gas. u wanna save. drive around a civic. want something fun to work on along with ur seven, buy a toyota.

sidewinderx7 03-18-2003 12:56 AM

gotta be classy, and look expensive.. lol



like the infinity g35 coupe (which im also looking at) or the jag. but i want atleast 30mpg too :(



why must it be so hard!!??

Turbo II 03-18-2003 12:57 AM

damn ur loaded, help a brother out and buy me a 1st gen

sidewinderx7 03-18-2003 01:01 AM

lol... sold my 1st gen gsl-se for 800 bucks.. :(

it was still strong and was an awesome car! Sold it to help pay for a lawyer. :( stupid lawyers...



Well it helps that i live with my parents and dont pay rent :-p and make around 90k a year.

so really, all i have are my cars https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR And with no girlfriend to have to dump money on, im set! lol



as for the g35 though, when i test drove the evo8 i also checked out the g35 at the infinity dealership next to it. They are some of the best looking (classy) cars ive ever seen. They just scream success! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png And we all know women love that. lol

Turbo II 03-18-2003 01:02 AM

god damn, u still live with mom and make that kinda money. smart mofo. y did i ever get her pregnant https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

Seppuku 03-18-2003 01:06 AM

what do you do to make 90k/year?

Turbo II 03-18-2003 01:06 AM

hahaah im 21 with 2 kids and a bitchy wife. my cousin is 23 with 4 kids and a cheating wife. i dont think his 3rd child is his.

ILUVMY88CABRIO 03-18-2003 01:09 AM

Get a neon!



LOL!

I love the looks of the G35, I just saw one for the first time (in person) yesterday. It is like a roomy 350Z.

sidewinderx7 03-18-2003 01:15 AM

lol... that is seriously fucked up! :( I feel bad for people who have kids at such a young age, when you have kids you seriously cant do anything but that type of life. Like me, im 20, i go where i want, when i want and i dont care what anyone says. I want to see and do everything ive always wanted to do. I still need to swim with sharks, but im going to do that in st. croix (virgin islands) in about 6 weeks, i still want to be on the price is right (which i was down in california last week and i didnt go.. :( ), need to skydive too... So far ive driven off in the middle of the night to an unassigned destination and ended up in san francisco, ive put alot of time and money into my car, ive worked the worlds #1 most dangerous job, Ive bought a car i love and wanted, i have money in the bank, i started private pilot lessons, and some other things i cant think of now.. lol



But point being, i almost got married at 18. And after that was over i basically saw the light, and went out and achieved my goals... and to this day im still trying. Dont stop trying https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

You want class, good power, decent economy, fairly roomy - I'd say either a VW Passat with the 1.8T or the Audi A4, same engine.

Joe Flo 03-18-2003 08:48 AM

Just one question.....If you can afford something like a jag or g35 why not just pay the price of gas?

Don't just buy a car because we are going through tough times. With my luck the day after I bought a car like that the war would be over and gas would only cost 60 cents a gallon. I know that wont happen but itwould to me!



Why not buy one of those Saturn IONs They look pretty decent. Cheap and I think they get like 60mpg. Other then that I Would also go with a VW or Audi. Test drove an A4. Very nice for the price.

ThirdGenRX7 03-18-2003 09:17 AM

so you want to buy a car for thousands and thousands of dollars because gas prices are high? how much do you drive... jesus

vosko 03-18-2003 09:20 AM

94 (or 95 i cant remember) Geo Metro hatchback with the 3 cyl. engine. can get 70mpg on i believe a 12 gallon tank, which is 840 miles per tank. This will be my beater car once i sell my ******* truck, you can pick them up for about 300-500 dollars, and as a beater car they kick ass https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Damn Kids.. hahah I always tell my friends if I get rich.. I would buy one of those as my daily driver.. so no one would know... MWuhahaha...

sidewinderx7 03-18-2003 01:44 PM

A geo would rock for the gas mileage! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png But i had a friend with one and it sucked more ass than ron jeremy. :( The A4's are nice too, i like those. Im going out today to hit the dealerships and test drive some cars, i'll check out the a4 too. As for the job, right now i do commercial crabbing. And my income is averaged by how well the industry is doing and prices of crab. Right now, i could make anywhere from 70-150k in 6 months of work. And be off work the next 6.

teknics 03-18-2003 01:45 PM

if u guys are from jersey you'll see my little metro buzzing around with no exhaust and type RRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr spray painted all over it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

Damn can I crab with you? Hey how about a Suzuki Swift.. Looks just like the metro but has a better engine.. They actually fix them up in Australia so they might not be too bad..

teknics 03-18-2003 01:49 PM

Swift = Metro = Sprint



kevin

teknics 03-18-2003 01:50 PM

i've crabbed before, much fun indeed.



kevin.

sidewinderx7 03-18-2003 01:50 PM

I want a type r metro :(



And as for the gas mileage thing, i fogot to address before. Its not JUST the gas mileage i want, if thats what i wanted then i would get a metro. I want something with class and styling too. And its not the fact of buying gas, but i do drive ALOT ... I drive a few thousand miles every 4-6 months ... i think ive put about 6k miles on in the last 9 months. :( And with the rx7 turning into a faster machine, the gas mileage will be horrid and if i try to drive out of the city it will cost me lots of $$.



Damn man!! I saw a swift last night, and we lined up at a light, my lane merged... he looked at me.. i looked at him. Light turns green ... he ******* floored it! It was a swift turbo.. lol I took off normal, but he ******* flew! (for having a swift) He even took a corner at like 50mph... lol.. I was on my way to Iluvmy88's house. It was last night. Me and my friend looked at eachother in amazment! Damn swift!

75 Repu 03-18-2003 01:53 PM

Get a lincoln LS, VW PAssat, AUDI A4, uh.. Damn.. I would go with a V6 cuz since you drive alot you would put lots of strain on the 4 bangers. especially in non flat areas.. But who cares.. As long as you like it.. How about a Mazda 6

teknics 03-18-2003 01:53 PM

6k in 9 months, bah kids play





try 20k in 9 months (went from 46k to 66k from late june to march)



kevin.

75 Repu 03-18-2003 01:55 PM

That would be a nice sleeper.. Just take of the tags so it sorta looks like a metro with side skirts..

sidewinderx7 03-18-2003 01:55 PM

jesus man, get a skateboard!@ https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png





Yeah, the 4 cyl woulndt really do it for me :(

75 Repu 03-18-2003 01:57 PM

or get an Acura.. TL or CL..

Leetheslacker 03-18-2003 02:10 PM

Old BMW 320i, around '77 or '78 if you can find one. Run forever on one tank. With a few suspension upgrades handles like its on rails.

Rob x-7 03-18-2003 07:44 PM

get a Lexus, its a great reliable car.
