They won't be "econoboxes" by todays standards. They'll perform much less well than a modern FWD econobox.
>>
>>15976215
They'll perform less than a 30 yr old fwd car because rwd isn't economic and that's a fact

I want you to give me at least 3 examples of rwd cars that can achieve over 40mpg

any bmw/merc diesel.

Compare those to a FWD diesel, not a FWD petrol

Not him btw
>>
>>15976215
Yeah but fuel economy is not the primary concern. Cars which were considered econoboxes in their time.
>>
>>15976242
>>15976246
Smart Fortwo, Mazda Miata, Alfa Romeo Giulia, BMW 3 series, pretty much any diesel BMW or Merc sold in 2016

>What is the best cheap econobox?

Diesel Mercedes 300E (W124) PRE-1994

Somewhat luxurious, RWD, diesel economy, insane reliability

Ford Pinto

Miata does not get 40 lol

What country/continent are you from?

You don't need a lot of power for skids in the rain/snow. What really helps is a pair of shitty rear tires with a lot of air in them and a clutch pedal

Applies to most places:
BMW 3 series with a 4cyl (316/318)
>ib4 slow, read op
>E30s are pretty old now though
>pre-facelift E46s have a number reliability issues
>compacts might look a bit shite, but they're light, cheap and practical. and many of them have more powerful 16v engines

Ideally: E36 with an M43 engine and a manny tranny

if europoor, you might want to look into Ford Sierras and especially Opel Omegas as well.
>>
>>15975996
The RWD part is the hardest to fit.

Maybe a V6 Mustang/Camaro from the 90's, but they usually want a few hundred more than a better condition FWD econobox.

I almost picked up a Toyota Cressida for 700, but he was too proud of it.

Pick up trucks are a great option. I've got an S10 I save gas in.
>>
Let's ignore OP's retarded comment about RWD and just talk about cheap econoboxes in general.

Tercel best car.
>>
>>15976325
>diesel economy
They get 20 MPGs anon. The 190 does a little better and almost pushes 30, but that's FUCKED economy for a diesel.
>>
>>15976942
Everyone already knows that faggotron, that's why I aksed my question and not yours
>>
>>15976890
Pickup trucks are pretty cool. I like the boxy ones from the 80's. Also cressidas are on the comeup so now is probably the best time to pick one up
>>
>>15976860
Wait, the Omega was RWD? Or is this a swap?
>>
>>15977131
The Omega was the last RWD Opel, I think.

Thanks, sierras in my area are expensive as fuck, the lowest one is the equivalent of like 6k dollars

I don't think you are up to date on your definition of what an econobox is
>>
Ae85? Not that you're gonna find one without everything swapped and riced to shit.

>+20 years old BMW

If you're not lucky, you can spend more money on repairs that on the actual car (assuming the previous owner didn't do it before).
>>
There is cheaper, non JZ-GE engine Chaser/Cresta/Mark II. I don't think it can really be called an econobox since it's a fairly big sedan.

A 90s BMW 3 Series or Mercedes C-Class. If you don't give a shit about fuel mileage get a Crown Vic.
>>
late 80s nissan or toyota-anything, especially diesel

get better fuel economy than any modern econoshitbox, and infinitely more reliable.

The true american hero. 940s seem easier to find in my state though and are more comfy.
