Opinions on the 2006 Hyundai Tiburon Gt V6
why would i not be? if i didn't have my civic, id have the corolla type S
i think the corolla S is toyota's failed attempt at making a "cool" car, so they had to release the corolla XRS, which is a failed attempt also, because i've never seen one on the road before.. ever.

The Corolla S (not type-S) is just a Corolla with all the power options, some upgraded stereo, and the lip kit. No motor differences from the Corolla CE or LE.

I've driven one before. Shocked the hell out of me to see a 6-speed Corolla out there. It was nice IMO.
^^ yea, i guess my opinion on it would differ if i actually saw them on the road and not just on their website, if they still have it available. but no doubt, i'm pretty sure it's fast, as mandangalo stated above after my post, it's rated 15 hp more than a celica

Rep Power: 0 ok, how about this!?. how about i trade in my 2002 civic Ex EM2 for a 2005 civic Ex EM2? and maybe a different color too?. what do you think about that?
i have a white EM2. maybe i'll trade it in for the exact same car. another EM2 but different color and newer year?. i could stick all my stuff thats on my white 02 on my newer 05. atleast this way i could be getting a more newer car with lower miles and probably not too much more than my 2002 that i have now. i don't mind getting into a newer EM2.....just a though.

OK!, what about the new 2006 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V? those cars are pretty nice to be considered sedans. those spec V's are awsome little cars!. 175 HP. 2.5 liter. i don't know. what do you all think? i know what may have been a stupid thing to do for me to end up getting the same EM2 but a newer year.
let me know WHY you thought that it would've been a STUPID idea.

I want this to be my first time and my "FINALLY" chance to get one. i'm just worried about monthly payments and the overall total balance price (to a lesser extent though) cause i'm going to go from a 9,600 dollar car (is what i owe left on my civic) to a 17, 18, or 19K car. (after tax, tag, and title) that i'm kinda somewhat also concerned about the WHOLE price of the car. but this MUST be pointed out. YES!, IT'S GOTTA BE NEW. like i might of said before. the ONLY car that i'll get "USED" is the 2005 civic Si EP3 (hatch).
I know exactly how you feel. All the cars i had before were hand me down cars and they all had 200k-300k on them. My 04 civic was the first new car i ever had and they were all my miles. It was the first car where i did all the work myself too. With all the modding i've done to my vic, i regret not getting a used Type S. I had the offer to buy a used 03 Type S for the same price as my new vic. I just wanted a new car.
If you plan to mod your car at all, i say get a used Type S or a wrx. I've seen used TypeS's with 30k on go for like 16k and wrx's for 18k. The Type S is going to be a good investment, since honda has officially annonced there's not going to be a 07 rsx. So there is only one generation of Rsx out there. There going to hold there value better then the last gen preludes.
If you want a new car i say, mazda 3 with the hid option or a 06 dx civic because all the other civics are over priced. If your looking at the 18k range, you can probably get an accord too. The accords havent been selling well so you can get near invoice on them.

^^ there's always a black sheep in every batch, and sucks but you probably got two of them. i personally have never had a nissan or infiniti so i couldn't say but the honda's i myself and parents have owned have had no major mechanical problems that weren't due to old age or what not. and all my friends that own honda's and toyota's have no problems with their cars. i dont think any of my friends drive nissan's though =| BUT yea.. american cars are sweet. i'd love to own a late 60's mustang, and i really love the new Mustang GT and i hope to own the new Z06 someday!! totally bomb rides.

Rep Power: 0 well guys, I'm really leaning towards getting a 2005 civic SI cause i wanna keep in the HONDA pride family. but i can't seem to find an SI thats close to me here in town and thats less than 17 K. i can't believe how much people are selling those 2005 civic Si's when most people know that they didn't sell very well in the first place. i'm going to let the salesmen know that i know this. cause it's fact. they didn't sell much. i guess people didn't like the way they looked or whatever. i personally love the EP3 si hatchbacks. those cars are SICK!. but there's an 05 si thats like 200 miles away from where i live and they want 19,000 for it!
ofcourse it's got like 8,000 miles on it but still. for 19,000 i can just go buy myself a "NEW" car. what do you guys think?

Rep Power: 331 the EP3 is a nice car, i would get it if you really want it, but the resale isn't too great compared to most other hondas.
