hey /o/. I want a "new" car, $7000 or less. I'm a college student. I can walk to school, so I don't need to drive to school every day. I want something fun (definitely manual). I have no problem getting routine maintenance/repairs, but I don't want a car that will randomly leave me stranded. What should I be looking for?

Sorry for such a vague post, I'm just not sure what I should be looking for

Get an Rx7
Or an RX8 if you want something newer
It's 100% what I would have if I didn't commute 5 days a week.

Maintain it in your off time, it'll treat you fine and you'll be a loud obnoxious asshole with a cool car.
>>
>>15849872
do you have a general idea of what the cost of maintenance would be?
>>
>>15849847
have you considered a WRX?
>>
>>15849859
opinion on the Civic Si?
>>
I should add that I'm in a major city, so there will probably be lots of stop and go traffic. Is the Civic Si a good idea?
>>
>>15849925
if it is sporty enough for you its fine
>>
>>15850009
I don't think I can get anything sportier in this price range, unless I get something a lot less reliable with more mileage
>>
>>15850014
what about the wrx or even saab 9-2x
>>
how about a mustang or charger?
>>
>>15850039
can't even find the saab. it seems like the WRXs in this range have at least 180k miles
>>
>>15850061
Where are you located? That sounds very expensive

>>15850109
that looks pretty interesting. how does it compare to the wrx?
>>
>>15850121
I think its pretty much a more family friendly WRX. Definitely not as fast but more practical than a civic si IMO.
>>
>>15849879
My FB Rx-7 was bretty reliable with just regular maintenance like oil changan, gas was a bit expensive with the 7-25 MPG (lowest was in the winter when a lot of idling with open choke was needed to warm up the engine). Not too much power with the carbed 12a but it'll last a good while

Here you go OP. Sounds like a great car for you
>>
>>15850187
Its got 4 doors, awd, and a bigger trunk

Plz elaborate
>>
They don't seem very practical. I'll consider them, but personally I'd rather have a small engine with a turbo than a big engine. Plus I don't think I can find any models with a V8 in my price range
