Greating to all (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) My wife and I are having a problem deciding on a new car or good used tail dragger. She wants a new Mini S. Red white stripes heated seats all the good stuff. She likes the idea of a nice 911 as well. I need some help from this group of wise men and women to make the call. Any and all help is welcome.

After all it's Friday and I don't want to work today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

Thanks

Steve

One Word... WRX. Its very fast stock and will kill just about everything out there... Buy a WRX STI and say good-buy to about every car on the road since that car will give all the high end european cars a run for their money... Zero to 60 in less than 5 seconds... I have a VW and will not buy another one. I had a friend who had a GTI and he got rid of that quick. VW are over priced and do not last. I am up to $2,000 in repair parts for the car this year.... Another $2,000 last year.. The 914 is more dependable.. Sorry VW guys, I was a fan...

WRX is just better all around. Get a used one for around $18,000-$20,000. All-wheel drive and 226hp stock.


My 80 cents worth..

The WRX is a great car. I have a good friend that just got a STI, great car, fast, handles well, but man you feel every crack in the road not what I would want for my daily driver. I don't own a mini but I have driven a few thousand miles in a new(well 2003 model) and I loved it. When I need a dialy driver the mini is on my list of cars to check out.
