not sure how much they cost, but i've got a mazda 3 MPS (mazdaspeed 3 in US speak) and it's a great car =) still stock, and beats a heap of V8's from the lights, and certainly in rolling acceleration... but it's manual only.. so... yeah... if the stereotype of an american driver (cant drive a manual car) applies to you, this wont suit you at all (it's manual only...)

if you go BMW, i strongly suggest getting a 6-cylinder version

and WRX = cop magnet, at least in aus

I can only talk from an australian perspective but...
Euro cars = expensive parts, longer wait
Japanese cars = Cheaper parts, shorter wait

if you want a slightly sporty, economical car, i suggest looking for a 4-cylinder turbo car =)

While I love the mazdaspeed 3 (have a 2008 gt), did you read the OP? That's way out of his price range!


i did, and based on aus prices, if people are saying 04 WRX, then a 2006 mazdaspeed 3 shouldnt be too far out of range...

He said he has 6k... unless the ms3 is missing it's rear axle or something I don't see how he could get a ms3...

edit: going by the price of the cars people were suggesting rather than the budget in the op isn't the best idea XD


heh, ok...

anyways, have done a quick search on AutoTrader.com in an attempt to save face =)

my biggest concern is that most of the cars at that price range have 100,000+ miles on them... but anyways:

BMW mid-late 1990's 6-cylinder 3 series, possibly a 5-series
Toyota's early 2000's celica
Subaru i think you'll need to settle for a non-turbocharged version of the impreza
VW early 2000's golf GTi

I wouldn't recommend an older(early 80's-95 or so) used BMW unless you know exactly what the car went through. The older ones tend to fall apart quickly if they were maintained very poorly.

uhh what kind car are you looking for?

u mentioned tacomas and im gonna say they are really reliable trucks, i've had a 99 tacoma for a while and it gets really good gas mileage (4 cyl 2.4L rwd), that i bought for $4200 with 100k miles on it, and i haven't had an real problems with it yet. i'd also looking at honda civics, they are super cheap used and get great mileage.

this quote is gold, although it seems to hold true with the older japanese cars, around 2000 and newer japanese cars are the same as any other car when it comes to how long they last, because now they actually have shit in them that will break ^___^
