What is the most practical car for a good system

[TeddyUnited 10+ year member]

I am selling my trunk car which i dearly love.

On to the next:

I was wondering what is a good car for a system. Obviously we want practicality, style, fuel economy, reliability, and good price.

Its obvious that a hatchback is a nice car for a system. But is there any car which is specifically good for a great daily setup, minimal dynamat and such.

I would do a jeep but they **** in mpg

A few come to my mind, please feel free to add.

Toyota yaris

Ford focus

Toyota celica

mazda 6?

audi a3

bmw hatchback

please add

Anything that's going to be heavily-deadened from the factory is going to be expensive, and probably not too great on fuel economy.

And trunked vehicles aren't?

I can think of one advantage that trunked cars have over hatchbacks...infinite baffle ability.

The BMW is a nice car, and would be nice for a system, but they're a complete pain in the *** to install in.

i third the RSX, easy cars to work on, and you can do pretty much whatever you want to them with minimal modification

I am now an SQ person, after the CVX's... always was at heart

The only was i will do IB if I get my hands on some IDW's, xls'. Plus I dont think i have the intall knowlege such as yourself to do it to perfection.

Honestly, people dont realize that it is much harder to build a serious sq car to a daily spl.

But yeah, thanks for the input

If I had to buy a vehicle solely for a sound system, wouldn't even be a question what I'd get...

A new VW Beetle.

You may laugh, but take a look at the dash...and tell me that wouldn't be sweet. Not to mention the room for a 10" subwoofer to drop right in the center of it.

Would fit your fuel economy requirement, too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Can't do a beetle, you know exactly why.
