Buying a new car - GM Performance Tuning

Jmonty580 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-03-2006, 11:20 AM

I've been looking into buying a new car lately and I though some of yall on here might be able to give me some good advice. I probably wont really be looking to get anything new until the summer is here but I wanna get an idea now. Im thinking of getting something small and quick. Not miata, soltice, two seater small, but you know, civic, sunfire, golf small. Im just trying to get an idea of what I shouuld be looking at. I want to stay in the GM family/perferably pontiac, but I dont really see anything that can compete with the GTI, and Civic si type cars.

Im really not feeling the g6, the accord is sounding way better to me. I gotta look into the Cobalt though, that could be an option.

J...I'd say DEF check out the NEW Civic SI. Honestly CAN'T beat that car for the price. BRAND NEW!!! GREAT on gas....nice engine. 8,000 RPM + No prob.
197 HP.....little ass Civic, with a 6-speed (I'm pretty sure)
Honestly, I can't see BEATING that car for THAT price!
Hondas are all crazy with holding their value too.....def check one out.

I'm just rocking my "CLASSIC" and rare model GM's (plural as hell, lol) until I can buy my NEW Z06. After that, it's STRAIGHT to the Ferrari and Lambo's baby!

Ha ha, yea I hear you man, problem is I really just dont like Hondas, they're so blah if you know what I mean. I like that new GTI but its already turbocharged and the Civic si isnt if I understandright, so there is more room for upgrades with the civic si im thinking, but I dont like them lol. Mini cooper is definetely not an option lol. I dont know, Im just window shopping right now. The old GA is feeling like its on its last legs to me, so im gettin ready for something new.
