Need Sporty Beater

[Qualin]

Hey.

In the near future I'll be looking for a cheap winter beater.
While there are many cheap cars that can be found out there,
I'd like to become more proficient at a stick. Strangely
enough, it seems that cheap beaters with a stick are rare
here in Calgary.

I'd like to find something a little sporty. Something RWD.
(Easier to do 180 degree turns and I learned on RWD.)

Any recommendations? I'd most likely be looking at early to
mid 1980's era vehicles.

Someone suggested I should look for a Toyota Corolla GTS or
an old beat up Mustang. Any others? Anything I should
avoid?

Thanks.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I thought I'd just let you know I'm selling my truck. It is RWD, although probably not that sporty:

I have an 88 celica GTS I'm thinking of selling - it's FWD though. Fun little car, if you're interested let me know.

Thanks. good luck finding a cheap corolla gts. u would be better off with a car that isnt super hyped up.

buy an old mustang, cheap rwd decently powerful

Buy my Cavalier and drive it in reverse. If you turn the seats around it can be RWD (but only in reverse).

My thoughts exactly.....:confused:

I have an 87 BMW 325 that might fit the bill.

RWD, 5 speed, 2.7L engine
