my grandparents just decided that they shouldnt be cheap ****** anymore. so theyre going to buy me a new car. ive got a 20g limit and i need som help with what to choose. so far im thinking about the vw gti 1.8t. with 17's and leather its right under 20. plus according to motor trend its quicker 0-60 then the sentra se-r, focus svt and civic si. any ideas about what youd get would be great.

Mazda 6 would be my first choice, Mini Cooper- which you should see in person and sit in, the quality is great, Galant is a good car, my gf has one, the Mazdaspeed Protege- as long as you like it in either black or that funky orange **** color- last years MP3 was only $18,000, I cant see them asking that much more for the MazdaSpeed one. Oh, and give me your grandparents email address so I can send them a copy of your post, lol

lol yeah sure... i sat in the mini and it was just too small for me. plus im not sure how well the styling will hold up. the galant is way too slow. but the mazdaspeed protege might work if its low enough. oh and i cant spend moe than 20 cuz theyre paying and im not allowed to go over. so yeah i get twenty but their still being bitchy about it

You can get a V-6 galant, 200 horsepower, the 4cyl only has 140 horsepower. As for the styling of the Mini, the thing causes so much commotion when I see one on the streets, the car is going to be HOT,they will sell as many as they bring into the country. Check the Mazda 6, car is very nice, should be in showrooms this month, I seen it at the Javits Center, car is very nice, probably be the new car in my driveway before the end of the year.

Galant GTZ's are nice but not really that fast... like 7.8 to 60... those 3.0 litre V6's are bit doggy off the line and that hurts them!

Oh I forgot stay away from the VW 1.8 Turbo's friends got one! POS!!! Brand new Golf and what a piece! He is so wishing he had gotten the SVT or the SE-R V spec. By the way the SVT smokes the 1.8T Golf on the road course....
