What Would you decide?!?!?!

Alright, right now im ok with my 03 GA (notice how i say ok) But if i was to get another car in the same price range (Based off of 27,000) What would you choose. What would have the most gains in HP, all around performance? Just wondering what everyone things.

Its not the same price range. That is if u want everything your GA has. I love mine to if it wasnt for the window scratches and the rotors and the lack of HP. But if it wasnt for those things i would love it actually if the scratched and the rotors got fixed i would be fine with it

I'd buy a '02 GTP coupe, and mod the hell out of it.

That's if we're talking practical, year round, cars. I love those things.

the new accords sticker for $28,690 around here.

personally i'd get a used BMW 325ci there's a real nice one around here for $26,000 i'd like to get but i can't justify spending that much money on a car while paying for school and planning to move out within the next year and a half.

He wants some performance to go along with the car. A 325ci is just as slow as a Grand Am GT.

I just drove my mother's V-tec '04 accord coupe and I was not impressed with the way it drives, although Nikki seems to think my mom got a bad one

A pre-owned '03 Evo might be around $28,000 depending on mileage and I'm actually impressed by that car.

too bad the interior is quite gay. I can't stand a car that doesn't have a center dash column that does not run down into the divider for the front bucket seats.

And you should be able to find a used Evo 8 for 24k

My car was sticker for 27,000 i only paided 24,000 Finance included in that total. He's Right the evo's look like crap personally. They need to be wider and the interior needs help, same thing with the mazda6 nice outside interior looks cheap.
