Looking for a new car

[UrbanGQ]

Hey sup

I am new and dunno what car to buy haha... i'm a car noob so you guys have any advice..... was thinking a civic 2k5 si

pros and cons on that car?
(pls no civic hating in this thread)
thx

[UrbanGQ]

i really dunno how i got that signature on there but oh well... don't mind the sig pls

[2002civic]

pros: gas milage, good looks(matter of opinion), reliability
i assume your from canada so your referring to a coupe

[GoChris]

civics are nice, might be easier to know what you are looking for? seems you want a 2 door ya?

[DelSoln]

It might help if you let us know what you want to get out of the car (eg. performance, comfort, reliability...etc).

[NiteRider]

civic is a honda.... fwd....gutless...
but good starter car

[statick]

answer all the above questions, and also if ur willin to buy used and put some money into it (wut some would recomend for performance) ??

[UrbanGQ]

not really for performance, just a good car to drive
compared to my neon lol anythingi s better
but i just wanna know how good a 2k5 civic is hmm lets say compared to a corolla 2005

[That.Guy.S30]

you also have the option of a subaru impreza 2.5 rs and lancer ralliart and nissan sentra. alot of options man.

[statick]

just something practical to drive around, and also is sorta quik ( can be tuned for speed)... go with nissan sentra se-r spec v. sedan, so it is practical, reliable, FWD for winter, 180ft/lbs 175hp.

[UrbanGQ]

thnaks homies
i'll figure out something haha
civic good for winter?

[That.Guy.S30]

^ depends how you drive and what tires you are using.

[GQNammer]

Wow, since when can you afford a new car jims? haha

If you're going for a civic si, save a bit more and you can get a mitsu ralliart. I believe they're currently having a 0 down, and 0% for 60 months which is pretty crazy. If i remember corrrectly, the ralliart is a lil over 25k and the 2k5 civic SI is like 22 thou or so

[KGB]

how about a used intergra gsr or type r and u will have some money left to modify it a bit, fun cars to have also reliable and hold their value expecially type r, if u want to sell it down the road .

[biggie_82]

Go test drive everything and then decide. With winter driving I suggest ordering some winter tires for the car.

Civic/Corolla/Impreza are all pretty good starters.

[Rydog]

not sure if you picked up a car yet, but i drive the mitsu lancer ralliart and it fuckin' kicks ass. i paid 21,900 for it too, for the price, it's the best bang for your buck man. 162hp and 162 lb ft torque out of the box and VERY tuneable.

have a look at www.lancernation.net for more info if you like.
Cheers,
Ry

whoa...that's pretty cheap for a lancer ralliart...arn't they normally more expensive then that? and the plus side..10 year powertrain warranty!! :eek:

[Rydog]

i bought mine last year when they were first released. the price has gone up a bit now tho i think, like 22,900 base.

[Aleks]

Buy a 2004 SRT-4. around 24K for a new 2004 if you can find one. Now that is Bang for the buck 230hp/250tq, and these are actual wheel hp ;)

[Fobby]

i would take a 3 over a ralliart any day. :D which I did
