    My focus was a 03 with the pzev ( partial zero emissions vehicle ) had more torque than the svt and I had the euro package on it looked sharp and set suspension was a great fun car

    I have a 06 Chrysler 300 cdr Touring, Mercedes 3ltr turbo deisel, as my DD, it is chipped but still returns arround 22MPG arround town and 40MPG on the run, and suprises a lot of cars of the line.

    idk wtf youre on about. i gave two solid examples of sporty cars, that can be had for $6k or less, that get good gas mileage, are reliable, and are a little peppy. i know there are more out there too. i am single, and graduating college. i dont want to get a prius or a focus. im sorry i just dont. i want something nice, fun, sporty, and reasonable. all everyone is mentioning is the reasonable/nice stuff. i want some sporty stuff too!

    although thadd, the mazda 6 you said earlier, that fits what im into. those are nice lookin cars, idk how much they cost though.


    gnat, i have been looking into volvos, but they are expensive to fix if they break. thats the downfall of the e36 as well.

    my sister has a focus, and im just not a fan of them. they are nice, dont get me wrong, but there is just something about them that i dont care for.

    a little turbo diesel would be fun, but diesel is just so dang expensive now-a-days! and again, the maintenance would be pretty expensive :/

    then get an SRT-4, nate, and call it a day. stop worrying about if it makes you look queer.

    Revel in your time
    ...i daily drove mine for 5 years, 65 miles each way to work. Thats 130 round trip, and loved every minute of it.

    That said, if i needed another daily right now i would be all over a VW diesel. 40-50 mpg all day long and decent maint intervals for same
    if you cant fix it with a hammer...then you have an electrical problem

    you all are naming expensive cars lol.

    thadd, i actually really like SRT04's, but one of my good friends has a nice one, and he would be PISSED if i got one too. he like the exclusivity of his haha. im the same way with my vr4, so i cant hate.

    my vr4 could work and would work as a dd, but i have some issues to work out on it first. and it doesnt have an ecu in it currently.
