Let's narrow these choices down, shall we?

Well I am in the shopping-mood for a new car again, since I flippsed my last one, I have been driving around a 1980 Buick Riviera, 2 door with a 350 and it takes gas like a motherfucker. But anyway, I have many choices in mind, and I am looking to Zelaroners for their help in possibly narrowing down the selection.

Price range = < $11, 000.00.

Serious votes only please. And when you vote, please post a reply with your reason why. ie Mechanical reliability, comfort, style, longetivity, experience, etc.

Let the polls begin!

P.S. ALL cars must be between the years 97 - 2003, unless noted otherwise. So if you see one without a year, it will be within those years.

Impala, Good gas milage and a kickin factory sound system.

I was pretty much dead-set, head-on for a new Impala, but then I saw this:

Mechanical reliability drops down dramatically after 4 years, according to this pre-sight review.

Edit:

What about a 1999 Honda Accord? They seem to be the most reliable thing ever... Heh. http://research.cars.com/go/crp/safe...p&aff=national

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Mazda Miata / RSX 7 (with high spoiler ofc)

if you dont like the mazda, then go for the 2000 or the eclipse

i would say honda accords too, they give good gas mileage

Honda Prelude is where its at.......trust me those cars are pimpmobiles, and if you rice them up you'l be the coolest kid in your block!

I picked prelude because that's what I drive and I have no complaints.

Honda INsight. I dont know the price but youll save up in gas money. it gets liek 60-70 mpg.

My moms 2000 Impala is still running great, only two things that I've noticed about it is that it wissles at speeds over 95 mph. Pretty sure its a design flaw in the 2000's body.And that about 9 months ago we had to re-aline the steering staft.(it started sakeing the wheel)

Go with the Prelude, unless you can find a 4WD Eclipse (I forget what year they made them).

Not to mention have less than 90 horse power! Ha.
If I were to get a hybrid sedan / coupe, it would definately be a Toyota Prius, though the 2004 is out of my price range, 2001-2003 would be do-able. However, what I would really want is a 2005 Toyota Highlander, which is, obviously, a hybrid SUV, at over 280 horse power, it still has great gas mileage, supposedly.

I am pretty much hard-on for a 1999 Honda Accord now, after reading a bunch of reviews.

I've driven in a Pontiac Grand Am a lot. Nice interior, has lots of balls and I recall it being pretty good on gas.

It was a sweet ride, but you would have to get it in red, looks the best.

Grand Am? Ewwww. Big and ugly on the outside, cramped on the inside.

Not really, the one I was in was big, spacious and really really nice looking on the outside. All sleek.

The inside had plenty of space, 2 hockey bags in the truck(bags full of gear, plus two in the back seat no prob. My dad and I took some peoples gear up on a hockey trip while a bunch of them cramped up in a van.

2 hockey bags in the truck

Obviously, we are talking about different autos. The only Grand Am I know about is a huge on the outside, cramped on the inside sedan by Pontiac.
