So, I never told you guys this, but I actually do not own my celica anymore. In fact, I haven't owned it for exactly a year today. *tear

I replaced the celica with an 06 f-150, I know it's a strange change.

But now I wish I could go back to a sportish car and I've been looking around for something to upgrade to from the old celica. Lately I've been looking at things like audi TTs and sc 300s.

Anyone have any opinion on what cars I should look at? I'm looking for something that's a good mix of performance and luxury and preferably rwd or awd.

I'd like to stay around 10-12k

thanks

int no particular order:

gti vr6
7th gen gts
integra type-r
e36 m3

from my findings, all of those whould be within your price range, and aren't impossible to find. a real type-r might be sketch...but other than that.

a $5k car would leave you alot of swap money, tho.....

WRX.

+1 or a 2.5rs.

how about a mk2 mr2 turbo? closest thing to a ferrari that alot of us could afford. for 10-12k you can find a nice one with low miles. check the mr2oc.com for-sale forum or mr2trader.com

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Its unfortunate they did not bring the GC8 WRX over here. I'd be all over that.

IS300 is a good choice also, but winter>rWd.

well, winters in missouri are not that bad, but I was kinda thinking about some kind of coupe and I don't really like the way the subaru looks, no offense. I was also thinking of actually getting a loan to get a new car, I was kinda thinking 04- solara? the problem is, it's fwd and I'd kinda like rwd for when I feel like cutting loose

I'd sport one if I could afford it, but even the 320 hp cobras are a little too expensive, not to mention the terminators

Honda S2000 is also a possibility.

sc400

looks to be in decent condition and you would have plenty of money to spare to fix it up. wouldnt worry about mileage too much, the 1uz v8 is know to run for twice that with no problems.

edit-nice looking tl

that tl is ok, but I'd like either awd or rwd and a two door is a plus. The sc is also nice, but I hate that green and I'd prefer the sc300 for the engine and five speed option.

the supra is just a little beyond the price range. but I bet you could find a 93 with slightly high miles for 12K-ish
