Been looking for a 2001+ used car for my wife. Shes intersted in a sporty sedan or some covertible. Well She wanted an Eclipse and well they are crap. Then she wanted the MR2 spyder and it appears that their engines eat oil and freaking suck. Then the Nissan Altima, but they appear to be plagued with engine problems and some electrical stuff too. I looked up the Audi A4 and that seems to be a huge pain too....
I don't get it. Its like buying a new car is a crapshoot these days. I mean my 94 celica has had zero problems and I have 220xxx miles right now. Do automakers really not care to make a decent quality car anymore? she doesn't want a Accord, civic, camry or corolla...so I don't know where to look mazda? Maxima? Volvo? THis is such a headache...

Damn wife is very picky. Shes looking at a 200-2001 Infiniti i30, Acura 3.2C/TL and A Nissan Maxima. THey seem to be the best choices shes made so far...
She doesn't want a miata, or any toyota (cept for land cruiser way too much gas eating and $$$) Anyone heard anything bad about the 200-2003 Infiniti I30, Acura 3.2C/TL and Nissan Maxima? |

If you get the Acura 3.2CL, make sure its a manual. Acura had a huge problem with the automatic trannies in those cars. I believe only the 2003 comes in manual. I was looking at them for a bit. In that price range, why not consider the RSX type S? (unless you have kids - but then you probably wouldn't want any two door) This post has been edited by jgreening: May 9, 2006 - 8:22 AM -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
