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! ---

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. > [@LKSi"](#): > > You could always hop on a k series car while they’re cheap Def a good possibility, but most Hondas don’t have leather is the only downside :lol I like my leather. ---

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. ---

Yeah Nick, if reliability isn’t top priority I’d definitely check out that lunar Eclipse ^. > [@F.S. 1996 GSR Integra 4 dr](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/f-s-1996-gsr-integra-4-dr/33056/27): > > Find a b18 /b16 honda … boost it .

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. ---

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. ---
