Need new car.

[Dozy_production 10+ year member]

Well ive been driving my 95' Civic DX around for about 3 years and its racking up 164,xxx miles. It still drives like a champ except for the fact that i bought it off my dad and he let it over heat a couple of times due to no oil in the engine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Well the car needs to front brake rotors and back drums while its going to blow a head gasket about every year or so. Time for a new car.

Im basically asking you guys for opinions on which of my choices will be more reliable and just have more power than my dinky 1.5L

I was thinking:

1997 Integra

1998- 2001 Jetta GLX or GLS

1998 GTI 1.8T or vr6

2000 Honda Civic SI

any other suggestions or thoughts?

Btw: I think the 1998 jetta's are the last of the man looking jettas. Im pretty set on the glx's because there is plenty of trunk room and the interior is just boxy enough for my liking.

2000 si, how much u willing to spend

 

[Dozy_production 10+ year member]

8,500. Yeah 2000 Si is kinda at the limit of my budget. So should be the Gti's. I could stretch the budget more for the GTi's or SI's but ive found cars with clean titles at this range.

Get a hatch definately.

I like the Integra, pretty quick with 5spd and some minor mods. I also like the GTI for the stance and the look. Haven't driven one.

The Si or the GTi for sure. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
