what type of car should i get

[adirevolvo 0]

so im selling all the stereo crap to buy a new car of my own. Right now I have a volvo 740, which we are still keeping, it just wont be my daily driver anymore. I want somthing that wont brake down and leave me places like my POS volvo. Also I want somthing faster then my volvo which is 2950lbs and 114hp, 138trq. It also needs to be somewhat safe, or I have to put a roll cage into it. Depending on the car I will put some money into it to make is handle better and faster. I want to spend like 2k or less on the car if i can. Some of them are cars I would make into rally cars and do light off roading with, others are cars I would just make fast.

Cars I'm looking at:

Baja VW Bug

AMC eagle sx/4

Honda civic hatch

Nissan 240sx

Caprice 9c1 cop car

I would love like a monte carlo ss from the 80's but I think they are to much, or a grand national.

anyone else have ideas? has to seat 4 or more so 2+2 coupes are ok but no 2 seaters. Again the main thing is having somthing that WONT brake down.

I am in the same boat as you, I am buying a car tomorrow, (probably) but ddi you think about an Accord 2 door? reliable and not as played out as the civic, the Nissan is a decent choice, but parts can be a little tricky sometimes, but the sky is the limit with them

2dr accords are lame lol, harder to bolt a b18 into it which is what i would do with the civic. I have one sitting in my garage with no home so thats why I would do the civic, but yeah to many people have em....im not about rice at all thou....here is a pic of my friends del sol

sell that motor and get the 2.2 prelude vtec

h22's cost to much i got this b18a ls with a vtec conversion for 500.....h22's start at like 1500... and i want to spend 3500 total between now and the end of the summer on the car, about 1-2k on the car.

them maybe a civic is your best bet, or CRX

id love a crx but unless i get the jdm rear seat they are only 2 seaters. i will prob end up getting a civic hatch, we'll see. theres somthing about a baja bug i love thou lol, i could put a sub under the front hood and just jump that car over everything lol

The Civic hatch would be a smart choice I think. Reliable and efficient.

Apparently quite the little bugger to install horns in though

It's one of those cars that is there for you to mod the hell out of, and your plans as of now seem awesome to me
