Ok, here is what's going on. My car has been acting kinda funny as of late. I told my dad about it and he told me that he would help me get a new car if I wanted. Now, He and I are going to look at the new Tiburon today (because of the warrante, but I really like the Mazdaspeed Protige. What would you guys do?

I almost got an SRT4. Just go to all the Dodge dealerships and tell them that when they get one of their two allotted SRT4's that they should call you. Most dealerships are only allotted two SRT4's a year unless they are a bigger dealership. I went to one...just to see if they had an SRT4. I showed them my credit report...and I drove it. I've driven most of those cars, including the Tiburon GT (which I don't like next paragraph) and the SRT4 is the best. It's the highest on insurance though...definitely the best driving car out of all of those (best sounding too). The shifts are so smooth...and runs at 16psi stock! (Trust me it does...rubber smells good too!)
Now the Tiburon...awfully nice car except you cannot see out of it. The Civic Si...I personally didn't dig the looks all that much. RSX...I drove the Type S. Nice ride. This is right up there with the SRT4. The shifts were so smooth. Very nice ride...I just see so many of them out so I don't really want to get something that everyone alreayd has. Impreza...didn't drive that one. Mazdaspeed protege. Personally I want this car. Only because at the moment I'm very partial'd to Mazdas. They need love to in the Import world. This car isn't that bad either...it only runs at 8psi stock...so if you put in a 1000 and bought some little turbo goodies...you could probably get mroe than the 170 it's rated at. Only problem is the first gear. I didn't like how long it was...which really hindered my "from-a-stoplight-accelleration". I'm getting this one personally, becuase you don't see a lot fo them out there, the insurance is nice, and the car is still faster than my Celi and got boost. As for your Celi, hey man...you got enough for a new car. Why not just take out a small loan and swap in something? If I was in the position to do so, I'd do that...but right now I'm just ga ga over getting a NEW car not just making my Celi run like new. Sorry for the long post, but I vote for SRT4. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT
