Hey guys, I am already feeling withdrawal symptoms from selling my 240. Opinions on next car? Must still be driver oriented and newish, can’t afford major downtime anymore. Pure DD. Option 1: 2003 Cadillac CTS (manual, 3.2 V6) I have heard these things handle really well…never driven one so I can’t comment. Option 2: 2000 Ford Mustang GT (4.6L V8) Lol fail 2V modular. Also live axle. Still a great fun car. Shitty on gas. $$$ Option 3: Mazda Protege5 Most practical choice…but it is FWD and slow as fuck. Option 4: You decide. Thanks for the input. I have done plenty of research, I just want opinions at this point from people who have had experience with any of the above. ---

why not build a proper and reliable 240??? $8k can do it easily waaaaaay better choice. i’m thrilled with my S14… got over 60,000km’s with no major issues… other than a maf wire fraying and my battery going it’s bee perfect. ---

rx7 I have the protege, its great all around, but you will miss the RWD … but its amazing on gas, insurance, and parts. & if your price is from 4-8 , you could get it for around 2-3000 instead if you get a p5. but i’d get a four door g35, they are getting cheap. throw some new g35 track pack wheels on it ---

The Caddy is a fun car to drive, big and heavy, but positive road feel and with a few mods sounds mean. ---

Stay away from the CTS. I’ve had long term experience with them and trust me not a good choice. Once 80k rolls around they turn into headaches. Electrical issues, and suspension (bushings mostly) Seem to become a consistent problem. Small problems like buttons and switches (common use) become temperamental. 2004ish Maxima. Ya fwd isn’t as much fun, but 6spd and 265hp. They sorta have a funny face but the interior is amazing. ---

in the same boat as you ahmad. looking for a new dd. right now i’ve narrowed my list down to (in order): -s14 (maybe + winter beater) -gc8 (maybe + winter beater) -is300 (all year around) i kind of cringed at your list. just my opinion though [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sold-240sx-now-what/209556.md?page=2)
