New Car Input Needed!

Shift518 Automotive

So as I’ve said a few times, I plan on selling the current CL and picking up something else. My criteria are as follows:
Decently Powerful V6, I4 or Stock Turbo Car
Decently Reliable
20+ MPG
Leather Interior

Right now my list includes:
2003 Acura CL-S: Hard to find, but my top choice by a long shot right now. 6 Speed only.
Mistu Eclipse GSX/GS-T: I want to find an unmolested one but thats just as tough as finding a Cl-S with a 6 speed.
Acura RSX-S
Something Saab
EDIT: MazdaSpeed 3 or 6

Since I don’t drive daily anymore and everything I NEED is literally within a mile, I don’t really need it to be the perfect winter beater. It doesn’t need perfect reliability. Also, while my choices are picky, I feel like me having a car right now kinda allows me to be picky on what replaces it.

The reason I made this thread is to see if I may have missed something obvious or not so obvious. Input is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Mazdaseed 3 or 6

i have a mazda 6…dohc vvt v6…225hp stock…leather…20+ mpg…reliable…not a 6spd but a 5spd…very fun car…the speed6 is a lil harder to find and more exspensive but its an awd 6spd turbo car with 275hp

Now the speed3… 275hp stock…6spd and capable of handeling that 4088 you like so much lol

4088 :lol
I can’t believe I forgot about Mazda! Adding that to the possibilities list.

And it doesn’t have to be a 6 speed, I just want to be out of the slushbox.

Find a b18 /b16 honda … boost it . Done , great dd with heat and possible ac. parts are cheap as hell and they are easy to work on.

6

You could always hop on a k series car while they’re cheap

7

true all motor k’s move out pretty good

8

ehhhh…yes and no. I want decent power or something I can turn up the boost/tune and make decent power with. I don’t want to go super crazy and put together a build while I’m in school, too much unpredictable money to have to spend.

Def a good possibility, but most Hondas don’t have leather is the only downside :lol
I like my leather.

fuckin guy

06 rsx-s. done.

I probably should have thrown a price range out there, but idk what the CL will bring for a sale.
I’m gonna guess my range will be 6-7K or so since I would like to swap into a manual car this summer. But the CL is running like top so this isn’t really an urgent sale.

And i don’t think an 06 type s is in my range, at least yet.

I have a buddy with a awd turbo eclipse that he’s looking to sell. The whole car was just repainted metallic grey, looks pretty damn good. It does need a tune iirc, but you could find out the details from him if youre interested. Lemme know.

12

Yeah Nick, if reliability isn’t top priority I’d definitely check out that lunar Eclipse ^.

13

For 7k you will not get any cars you listed except a dsm

14

for 7k, buy a bike. keep the acura and daily drive it.

Or, Civic Si, which is what I personally would purchase with your budget. I drove Crazyz250’s whatever body style that was with the manual gearbox when he had it and it was a pretty nice car, not the fastest but it handled good and got good gas mileage.

buy one of those bikes where you pedal and it makes the dildo go up and down through the seat

Lmao

Keep your current car for a bit longer until you can afford something else.

The Mazda 6’s are nice cars. Decent power and seem to handle pretty good.

Mid 90’s Corolla and build bank account.
