Here's the thing..... I love my Acura, but I'd really like to get something with 4 doors. My fiance is here now, my kid is getting bigger..... and we'd like to have another kid in the future.
On the other side..... I'd like to "upgrade" from the performance aspect..... so I have a couple ideas in mind. I NEVER buy brand new.... always a couple years old, with low mileage.... and I want to stay "around" the $20,000 range. I'm thinking an 02-03 Impreza, Lancer, or a BMW 3 series..... but I'm looking for more options. ABSOLUTELY NO SUVs..... Comments on my 3 choices???? Suggestions for better options?? Keep in mind.... this is my "daily driver"... so reliability is an important factor..... which means...... no American Cars. Thanks all (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

I just bought a used 1995 Acura Legend ls 4 door with under 130k for 6k and it runs like a champ, very clean, 230hp and its my first at, but for freeway crawling, nuttin better. Very reliable, very affordable, you just have to be patient and avoid the "fast and furious conversions" they will shorten the life expectancy considerably....if you need more than 230hp you can try for a Legend GS (270hp) auto or Getrag 6-speed. I wanted a GS but didn't find one that was "right" before the one I bought came up. My .02.
