New car propect?

Well, I have done the math, and after financial aid next semester, i will have MAD money... What should i do? I kind of want to buy a new car... So far, I think I am leaning towards a hatchback... Hmm, gti 1.8t, or a new si... I want a sunroof, and a pretty quick engine so... Anyway, my car is currently for sale if anyone wants it, but i'm sure no one will buy it here... 2k1 DX auto, pretty much stock, 28k miles, trying to get 12 for it, but don't comment on that part, because I know it is wishful thinking... thanks

Exactly! get the 1.8T. The Si's is not worth it if you want a quick car.

From canadiandriver.com
"...the GTI 337 Edition is essentially a GTI 1.8T with a 6-speed manual transmission, a lowered sport suspension, special bodywork and blackened taillights, Recaro sport seats, a Monsoon sound system, and unique 18-inch alloy wheels and Z-rated 225/40R-18 inch performance tires. Volkswagen will build just 1,500 GTI 337 Editions. "

Hope it helps.

I heard the 337 has some of the hardest to find VW wheels. I would go with VW though. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

i'm glad you brought up the civic hatch, that year too... I have been considering that... But I want a decent sunroof...

ANyway, if i did get that, i'd drop an h22a, and get the wings west widebody gsr kit (don't know why they call it the gsr kit but anyway), let me see if i can post the link...

Best kit ever (IMO)

The VW GTI 1.8T 337 is a top choice

If you really have something different go for something very rare and convert the Si motor to S2000 standards, then do it up from there lol

What about a 97-01 Prelude? They already have the H22 and they are so beautiful.

True true...

Well, I would love to have one... But i have to say that i hate what honda did with the prelude interior from 92 on... kinda "trying-to-be-futuristic" from 92-96, then way too toned down in the new ones, but i mean i still love the cars and would consider it deinitely, great engine

I'd got for either a golf 1.8T or (if you can find it) a 337. German cars... <drool> If I ever find a new 337 on a VW lot, I'll buy it right then and there. I want one so bad.
