Learning how to drive, which car to buy? Options

[Hanyo]

I want to learn how to drive. I want to buy a rear wheel drive car to learn to control a real car. My friends and I have been throwing around the idea of going to a driving school and getting some instructions. But none of us are willing to tear up our clutches and tires.

So I'm looking at getting a rwd car to learn to drive in.

what it has to have are:

1) cheap and cheap parts. I intend to break alot of things.

2) RWD obviously.

3) some aftermarket suport.

4) manual tranmission


Orginally, we where planing on getting a cressida, it has a 6 cyclinder engine with 4 wheel disc brakes. But they all came in automatics and there is no aftermarket support. so that got cut. (i know some parts and interchangable with the supra.. but too much work )

240's are way over priced for what they are worth. I've been looking around, and they sell for two grand for a not runing shell.

Corolla gts/sr5 (AE86) are way over priced agian! The cheapest i've seen is 3000. That is way too much to pay considering most likely we will end up puting this car into a ditch or rolling it over.

Pick-up trucks? hmmm i dont think that is a good idea....



yea.. i'm all out of ideas....

why not a mustang?
if all you want it for is to learn how to drive RWD you can get one for dirt cheap. if you plan on getting rid of the celi than def get something much better.
personally i don't like them and wouldn't ever have one as a serious car but hey. that doesn't sound like what you want it for.
i am not a big fan of american cars altogether, but if you want power for cheap than get a mustang. and if you roll it that just means one more cheap mustang off the road to make way for a real car.

if you want something to supe up that aren't too much i think that you can get a 87-93 supra for not too bad a price. it really just depends on what you want.
