thanks for the suggestions smile.gif I've kinda forgotten about the RSX, and ive driven a few type S's, and as awsome as they are, i really dont like the styling of the car kindasad.gif Not only that, but the insurance is prolly civic si territory, and i'd much prefer that car. The used germans are way nice cars, but I'm not going to buy anything that dosent have a good reliablity track record, and neither of the two mentioned do... the prelude is my "practical" choice (it actually has a back seat), but the certainty of finding a nice used one at summers end is up in the air- and i'd like to find one in the area... if you guys havent noticed, I usually go for coupe body styles unless its a complete box (id way rather have the wagon versions of the mazda 6 or a legacy anyday)... I take it not too many people on here have practial knowledge about miatas and what its like to live with one?


I wasn't aware of the reliability issues with the SLKs... Sorry.

What about an S2000? You can find the 2000-2002s for right around $20,000.


Great suggestion, except for price sensitivity on the insurance.

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.

Since I see insurance is a consideration in your choice, maybe these quotes would help you:

Prices for Full Coverage every 6 months for me:
1995 Celica GT 1300
2006 Scion tC 1077
2002 Lexus IS300 1403
1999 Infiniti G20 1025
2003 Honda Civic Sedan 1154
2005 Mazda 3i Sedan 1175
2002 Acura RSX 1283
2002 Acura RSX-S 1368

Just as a fyi to whats cheaper and whats not. All of the above Ive considered for my next car.
