I'm looking to get a nice little daily driver... something in the $5,000 or less range that can handle a little Chicago snow. I had my dad's old Corolla in high school which was a great car as far as dependability and gas mileage.
It would be nice to get something quasi-sporty this time around... I don't usually have more than one other person in the car with me at a time so it doesn't need to be a four-door. I was thinking of a Celica, 240SX, N/A DSM, or maybe a Prelude? Any suggestions? Thanks. |

I agree about the NX. My Mom still has a '91 Sentra SE-R that is running great with about 200K on the odo now. It's still fun to drive.
You might also consider an Impreza (pre WRX). With the AWD and a pretty good engine they'd be fun. |
