LoL!!
Really Hanyo, those moose-stangs suck. They were maid for one reason, and one reason only.
To turn profit.
Yes all cars are made for profit, but some cars are designed to be better than others, some are designed to last, some are designed to run on electricity, some are designed to be the cheapest peice of crap ALOT of money can buy so that FORD spends small amounts of money on supplies, while cranking up the price tag, all because of headlight placement!?!?! WTF?!?!!? Why do you think you see so many of em on E-Bay? Because of the crap that they are.
sorry, i'll get off my soap box now...

tinuron's are nice, i like them
as for reliablilty... if you were to get an srt-4 like the one you said... how reliable it is relates to how you treat it.
alot of the inexpensive, fast cars - dsm's srt4's cobalts etc, get the bad rep from young kids who can afford the small payments. young kids + fast car = somthing breaking - law, car, other drivers, tree's
if you enjoy it when you can, but baby when you should, it will last!
tiburons are nice, i presume less insurance, not a fast or handling as an srt, but will last you alot longer, easier, with less attention required than a turbo car.
you can always look to get a better condition 6gc down the road, possibly when you have more money saved up to invest more in upgrades to it.

-i disregarded the srt-4 because of insurance ... came out to be a bit over 300$ a month , just because its "turbo" .... no logic in that since a V6 putting the same power would cost less to insure ...
-the tiburon is nice as well , good enough for me , but it gets bad MPG so i have tot hink about it a bit
--> my car wasnt in bad condition, in fact its pretty clean but i just had really bad luck owning it , first it got dented badly in a parking lot , then in my own garage ( by my sister ) , then i had the dents pulled and the car painted ( the paint wasnt in tip top shape ) , now the body is dent/ding free , the cloulor looks great and shiny away from sunlight , but once it gets direct contact with sun it looks a bit more brown than black , almost like faded black ....... and then the engine started idling roughly , a tune up and seafoam helped reduce that by about 70% but i wasnt satisfied so i decided to do the timing belt since i had no idea when was it last changed , and thats when the engine started idling like crap ( i have a thread about it ) ... right now i am just collectively disapointed with my bad luck with the car and just want to get something else
-another 6gc is a possibility , but i doubt i will be getting one ..... i will always be in love with the car's styling and the car's nice interior

WRX are very reliable if you dont beat up on the transmission.
And you can get alot more HP out of them easily.
You said no to most cars everybody mentioned for various reason, you will NOT find the perfect car you know?

dont' rule out the wrx wagon either.
Also i've been watching the G35's and they're starting to come down in price. I plan on getting a G35 or IS300/350/250 down the road. I get to drive them a lot and they are very nice cars.
Definitely stay away from the BMW's unless you got the money because they can be money pits.
you gotta decide what's most important for you. reliability, speed, or looks. You can't have all of them at the price you want.
I think you can easily fix up the celi to make it reliable and looking good and that should hold you over until you're ready for something new and are in a better situation with money.

i guess i am being way too picky with this , but i am just trying to get a car that i can be satisfied with. i know budget is not that great.
WRXs are also expensive to insure ( and buy) , so i cant have one .... my options are very limited and it seems like the only cars that i can buy and not worry about reliability are Hondas and Toyotas lol

well , looks like i am NOT getting any new car ... i started making more per month , about 300$ more so i thought i can afford buying a car , but apparently the increase in insurance is just insane ! even for the hyundai , its like 240$ and i tried 5 companies ... so i guess i am keeping the Celi !! which is good news ...somehow ..
