What Should be my next Car?, A turbo Car FWD or AWD is what im leaning towards Options

[SlvrCelica09]

Well guys.. the celi is gone and I need another car. Currently Im driving a 95 C280 but its getting way up there in miles (250,000). So.. I'm looking for a new car with similar attributes to my old celica project. It has to be a turbo car, preferably AWD but I wouldn't mind a FWD car either. The car Ive been pondering about was a Eclipse GSX as it has very similar stats to the GT4. I can't afford any thing too recent like a EVO 10 or something, something in the mid to late 90s or possibly early 2000s will do. Any ideas?

with my experience and what you are looking for, i have an audi a4 1.8t (B6) and it is an amazing car, inside and out. Its quick, luxurious, brakes good, the one downfall i guess would be that it is a saloon and therefore handles like one around corners I really like audis a lot...my experience with eclipse gsx's...another story. My friend has one and there are a lot around the town i live in. I have driven it and have this to say, WAY TOO BIG for a 4 cylinder car, POOR visibility, things a tank, and last but not least, it IS NOT and i repeat IS NOT reliable, my friend's gsx has probably been down more than it has been running since he got it, an ongoing waste of his money and time...so bad he had to get a commuter car and STILL pours all his money into the non running GSX. If you like the GSX, honestly i would just pick up a 4th or 5th gen Alltrac instead. I have never driven a 5th gen but I know my 4th gen is just as quick, handles better, better visibility, its a Toyota so its reliability isnt in question, and last but not least i bought my 4th gen alltrac for only 2 grand.

Thats a really good review my friend. Alot of people are giving the GSX terrible reviews. I've only driven the GS.. and I thought my celica GT was faster. Many of my friends are saying the Audi TT has alot of maintenance issues.. others have recommend the audi A4 as you.. I'm not a big fan of the body style though. I love the way the E46 M3 looks, and its fast without needing a turbo.. so maintenance won't be as bad.. What I want to do very soon is test drive the TT and M3.. and see what I like best. Right now it's between the 2 cars unless I find something else. I rulled out the alltrac a while back because I hate the body style lol.. if it looked like a 6 gen I would have bought that longgg ago lol.
