You mean you don't have any idea? Try a Ford Expedition. They're sweet.

Their a little bit too boxy, I'm looking for something sportier with a more HP. Although, I think Audi is rounding the edges on that car next year.

Thanks for your input.

will667 · 12-09-2000, 11:06 AM

I was thinking WRX or 3 series BMW. But I don't know.

I got a good job.

Camaroman · 12-09-2000, 11:09 AM

2001 Camaro SS!

orbit03 · 12-09-2000, 12:10 PM

Wait for the WRX.

JC · 12-09-2000, 12:14 PM

I'd get a Jeep ZJ or a Camaro SS.

... 97 M3 lux pack.

Want to clarify a little? What are you looking for?

matt mcleod · 12-09-2000, 02:49 PM

want a coupe? then get a HONDA PRELUDE
want a sedan? then get an AUDI 1.8T (with quattro of course)
want a SUV? get a JEEP (any kind will do, though an XJ is the best all-round)
want a great car? get a new WRX

every auto above is at the top of their class, has won numerous awards, and they all have aftermarkets the size of Zaire! (if you so desire, TAP will put a 486bhp motoer and a 6-speed in your Audi, or they can tune the 4 to a little over 400bhp. quite nice.)

Kachukaa · 12-09-2000, 03:28 PM

If not a WRX, go for the Audi. I had an Audi Turbo and you'd be amazed what TAP (Total Audi Performance) can do for a car. E-mail them or call them with questions, they have racing experience and they really know their Audi's.

Jeeps are fun, but not so much for the reliability factor. I've had a lot of friends with great luck, some with rotten luck. It's strangely black-or-white with Jeep, it seems. A lemon or a mint, whichever rolls off the line.

I think the best SUV out there right now is the new Nissan Pathfinder with the bigger engine. Too bad so many yuppies are buying SUVs, or they'd actually be cool, too.

will667 · 12-09-2000, 07:07 PM

Thanks for all the responses.

I want something sporty (2dr or 4dr)
New model 2000-2001
As much power as 25-30k can get me.
Must be able to handle the snow.
Reliable

will667 · 12-09-2000, 07:13 PM

Oh I forgot to mention, I don't want a SUV or pickup truck.

Kostamojen · 12-09-2000, 09:42 PM

RidinLow · 12-09-2000, 09:46 PM

It's your last chance to get a Camaro SS or a Trans Am WS6... have you ever listened to one of those things? It makes me wanna cry!

Or a Mustang Cobra if refinement is your thing...

Hashiriya · 12-09-2000, 09:52 PM

G20, RX-7, A4, etc.

Not a WRX, that's what I'm getting.

ChAi · 12-09-2000, 11:31 PM

i would get new WRX, or IS300

Opie · 12-10-2000, 01:00 AM

Buy a 2001 Impreza 2.5RS...then you will have the 10K left over to pay my consulting fee.

Kostamojen · 12-10-2000, 01:00 AM

IS300 = 0-60 in 7.5
WRX = 0-60 in AT MOST 6.0

IS300 = RWD (No for snow)
WRX = AWD (Yes for snow, mud, dirt, etc.)

IS300 = $32k base
WRX = AT MOST $25k

Its not that hard... No really

Mustang? Refined? ROTFLMAO!!!

Tkacik · 12-10-2000, 01:03 AM

Get a new WRX.

T-WRX · 12-10-2000, 08:26 AM

Kosta - The mustang is refined relative to the GM pony cars. Apples to apples, eh? Drive a Cobra after driving a SS, and you'll know what RidinLow meant.

RidinLow · 12-10-2000, 08:30 AM

Yeah, I guess I should've said "relatively refined." :P

whatever · 12-10-2000, 08:58 AM

This is a joke right??!! You bring up a dumbass question like that on an Impreza board, knowing the new WRX is coming out with everything you seem to be looking for, and probably the exact price!!?? Are you just looking for attention, do you want us all to say...man your so lucky- do we care if you have a "good Job", get a life, make a decision on your own..how good of a job could you have if you can't make decisions on you own?? hey man..WHATEVER!
