Car shopping blows... Currently have a problematic Honda civic. Yes I know it blows no need to add insult to injury...
I want people's opinion on cars and why YOU drive what you drive. My current occupation is Valet so chances are I have driven most cars but nothing else pops into mind Currently looking at a 2006 Mini Cooper Type S Basically Im looking a drivers car that is practical easy to maintain and responds well to suspension mods. Price limit is 13grand |

I own a VW Jetta. It's almost 12 years old, but still drives like new. Great car -- light enough to get decent gas mileage, but heavy enough to hold corners really well, and it has a decent 174hp engine so it can glide into traffic easily.
Not incredibly easy to maintain, though. It's a bit complex for a 12-year-old car, and when stuff breaks, parts can be expensive, since some parts have to be imported from Germany. I'm having a problem with the coilpack right now (the coilpack is basically spark plugs + distributor cap combined into one unit) and unless I can fix it myself (which is time-consuming), it'll cost about $600 to replace. |
