Lets say i have 10-15k (the most) to spend on a new car, what would you guys recommend as a daily driver? Its between an FC or an FD. I would love an FD, but as i read, they are a pain in the *** to maintain.



I am more familiar with FC's and common problems they have, but i just want some opinions. What do you guys think??

i would say fc too. if you spent all of your money you would get a decent fd, but if it broke you'd be stuck. if you bought a nice fc you would have 7-10k left for upkeep
