Wow, how nice of your patents to buy you a car. Wish mine did that. I had to work to buy mine. But than again, I bought some thing practical and not some little rice burner.

Any who, do your self a favor, dont by a ricer. If you want a great car that will last, go fast, and looks way better than any thing the Japs can build, look east not west. With 30k (CAD) Im sure you can pick up a really nice BMW. A buddy here in town has a nice little M3, and it rips up ricers. Plus it looks so much better; it gets great fuel mileage if your nice to the skinny peddle. BMWs will out perform and out class any rice burner. Im sure your girl would appreciate fine German engineering over Japanese mass-production.

alot of the cars he posted were not ricers....the only one i can see is the wrx.

if it were me i'd try to get an r32 skyline.. for an older car, it's sex. but then again, if you do get one i'd probably hate you for it... haha

well getting a brand new Lancer Evo IX will probably run about 40,000 CAD my friend just got one and it was about 36,000 USD so yeah but im sure you could find a used Evo VIII for that much

I'd go with the IS. Lexus is my favorite now. Once you get one, you can never live without one.

how bout the MX-5? I know its a miata, but still, its a damn good car.

and i agree with woofis, acuras/ hondas are probably the most reliable you can get.

btw, i wouldnt consider the STi rice either...

I'm just going to go ahead and ignore that post and any other posts you make in this topic.

#1) 2000 WJ Limited w/ 4.7L V8 #2) 1993 ZJ Limited w/ 4.0L I6 #3) 1988 YJ Sahara w/ 4.2L I6

According to you I should not get an Evo or something of the like and get a Jeep with a 4.7L V8 and drive that around every day. <sarcasm>Very practical indeed!</sarcasm>

EDIT: Sorry I couldn't edit my first post for reasons unknown. But aside from a 2005 Toyota Matrix that I share with my father, this will be my first car.

I never said you should buy a Jeep did I? No, I said you should buy a BMW. Yes Im Jeep fan. But thats b/c it dose what I need. I can take it though the mud, snow (and yes contrary to popular belief it dose snow here in Arizona), I can use it to tow my jet skis to the lake, or take it across county. Its very dependable and meets my needs.

Your needs how ever seem to be different. You want a fast very stable car, so thus I suggested a BMW. You get the power, speed and handling you want plus much more. You get an extremely well built car, leather seats, power every thing, premium sound system, as standard options. Not some thing you get in ricers with out paying a lot of money. With a BMW you get every thing you want, plus the safety of a well engineered German automobile.

There is so much you can do to a BMW (or a VW for that matter) to the delight of many tuners. Its well documented the German cars are far superior to that of Japanese, and most American cars. They last longer, are the safest cars on the road, and have the best resell value. So why not treat your self to a better built car?

Fastest car Mazda has ever made.

Mazdaspeed 6

274 HP, direct injected turbocharged 2.3L

My next "family" car.

You guys need to look up the definition of "ricer" as well.

Himura · « **Reply #9 on:** September 03, 2006, 03:34:00 PM »

Well its not too fast, but a tC is a great car. I have one in manual, and I must say, its fun to drive. also has a lot of backseat room since its a "liftback", basically, its a hatch. The backseats are also reclinable for some "other" activities, comforbably.

Only thing is, is that im not sure if they have scions in canada?

Himura · « **Reply #10 on:** September 03, 2006, 05:53:00 PM »

haha well, with the extra money youre saving, you can throw in the supercharger.

BMWs SUCK. Try maintaining one and affording the parts on one. Leave your biased views at home and stay away from these debates if all youre gonna do it spew biased propaganda without any real knowledge about anything. An m3 is nice, but it's not all that amzing. You're paying for the luxury and BMW name, and unless you've failed to notice BMWs are NOT over reliable. Canada gets snow. AWD rules snow. Get an STI. More reliable than anything Mitsu made. (Fucking differentials.)

THANK YOU!

I guess there's a few upsides to getting an STI over an Evo. First of all, they're actually available in Canada, second, according to you, they're more reliable (I'll have to look into this further), and lastly, it's (so is the Evo) AWD, we do get a decent amount of snow here in Vancouver, BC. But I just like the Evo more, I have no clue why. I've seen many articles reviewing both cars and in the end they're about the same, just a matter of personal preference.

I live in a snow covered area and I know that you can't drive a RWD car year round. (The Camaro will be put up within the month) But AWD yields fun driving in even the more inclimate weather conditions. As far as an EVO over STI. I think the EVO is a cooler looking car. I love the MR as it's a very nice drive. That being said Subies been building strong AWD cars for some time. Mitsus AWD endeavours have been less than amazing. (Talons and 3000GT) And knowing that Mitsubishi used parts of the rickety drivetrain of the Talon on the EVO would scare the hell out of me. As I've said before, Mitsubishi using the most maleable metals they can find in their trannys and differentials is NOT a cool thing. Though I think the EVO is a cooler looking car, I'd take the Subie based on history.

the brand new civics are really nice. however id still go with the rsx

Rylinkus · « **Reply #14 on:** September 05, 2006, 09:47:00 AM »

If you get into FWD there's some sweet options too. I really like some of the newer FWD stuff Mazda has out as well. And if the overwhelming STI power isnt the goal a WRX wagon would be sweet as wagons are amazingly useful. For a cheaper FWD there's always the SRT-4. Isn't there an AWD Dodge Caliber thats got that same 240ish hp engine? I don't know about the looks, but that might be fun and a reasonable year round car. Maybe an Audi of some sort. You could even go a year or 2 old and try to find a nicer model in your price range.
