What Car should I get? Ok in the future...maybe not too soon, but maybe so-I plan on getting a new car as much as I like honda it may not be a honda. Anyways im lookin for a used RWD sporty japanese car (BUt i dont really like mitsubishi). These are what I though about and the downsides to each...
'91 model 240 sx.....can't find one with good milage
'98 model 240 sx.....rare to find a good one
mR2.................insurance too high
AE86 Trueno........only in Japan
FC................Unreliable
FD.................Unreliable and insurance to high
300zx........I just donlt like 'em much
s2000........expensive as of now
'96 model 240 sx.........ugly
Silvia/Skyline..........as soon as I move to Japan and get really rich
Supra.............over-rated and expensive
Impreza.........Exensive and not RWD
Is300............heavy and expensive
Any other y'all can think of? Or any other input- like if you used to have a mr2 and hated it.

personally, if i was to get a new car, it wouldn't be a older one. My next car will definitely be a newer one.
But it's up to u......and every car u listed u found fault with

Rep Power: 0 i like rx-7 but i heard they're unreliable. and i have seen many places that u need a new engine every 50k miles...look on ebay they all have new engines if they're over 50k miles...they cant b too reliable andthe insurance on the m is too high. But yeah man they look awesome and have good power and handeling

Rep Power: 512 i love the looks of the 98 240sx's. i would say go with that and drop in and sr20det. those are bad *** drift cars if you build it for that.

Rep Power: 0 I would buy a new car, unless you like dealing with problems from older cars (especially if previous owners drive them hard). I would say an Acura TSX would be my choice - it's not that expensive (slightly over Accord), great interior and exterior, very good handling, and there aren't many on the road.

Rep Power: 381 Miatta. May not be the best looking cars, in some peoples opinions but I guarantee that you will have a blast driving it. Plus they are cheep.
They have been described as the Best British roadster ever made..... and that comes from a guy that Races them Profesionally. (Yes I konw they are from Japan, but they were modled after british sports cars)

Rep Power: 381 Ya know, one of the guys I race with had problems with being to tall for his Miata. he ended up geting an adjustible race seat and bolting it to the floor, saved him a good 4 inches. he says its fun to watch Valets try and adjust the seat.....
