raza, even tho i says you should get fit, you has my permishin to has a volva c30.

I would like to hear your suggestion, Mr. Cron. What should Raza purchase for his daily-driver, a 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible?

A Fit is for people with wordly goods, and children. Lest we wish children upon Raza, or, more importantly, lest we wish Raza upon children, we shall not recommend a Fit for his good self.

But he seems to want a 5-seat vehicle with plenty of cargo space. The Fit is that.

The Fit's main advantage is in seating flexibility - bits that fold here, there and everywhere. I'd wager that a 5-door Rabbit has sufficient cargo capacity to overcome its relatively basic seating configurations; the seats doing backflips I'm assuming Raza doesn't necessarily need. That, and the Rabbit's interior is more nicely designed and trimmed.

Well, sweetiepie, unless you sell him your Baleno, there's no way he'll be able to experience the zenith of hyperspeed motoring, is there?

The Vulva C30 is going to be way too expensive.

Plus, it looks really jacked up stock, like a mini offroader.  Very strange.

Have you seen it in person? I think you would actually like it.

[Raza]

No, I just saw those pics.
Doesn't change the fact that I can't afford it, even if I do like it.

Did you actually price one out?  A C30 version 1.0 with power moonroof has a total MSRP of $24,645 (includes delivery).

Even 24k is beginning to look like too much to feasibly handle for me.  Plus, there are so many options, I wouldn't be able to control myself.  Leather, cruise control, alarm, trip computer, cold weather package, dynamic chassis, bottle holder (come on!), six disc changer, premium sound, and it's 29K.  All that stuff is easily available on cars like the MS3 and GTI for less.

What aboot a Sentra SE-R?

[Raza]

What aboot a Sentra SE-R?

Too ugly.  And considering my past experiences with Nissan, it's not going to be any good.

Plus, the Spec V with a sunroof and slippy diff is $22,995.  The same price as the Civic Si almost.  Easy choice.

Also, this is what C&D said about it:  "The fun here is all add-on, and it hasn?t been added thickly enough."

[Raghavan]

What about Cobalt SS's?

[Raza]

What about Cobalt SS's?

Possible, but unlikely.  Also, that would be a used car, since it's no longer on sale.  As much as I enjoyed the Cobalt SS/SC, I'm just not a fan of supercharging.

[Raghavan]

You should buy a used R32 instead. They can be had for about $23k.

Only 26mpg.

Stop thinking of practical matters like fuel consumption rates.

That's one of the main requirements. 

I have a sports car.  I need a fun car to drive daily, but it also have to be practical an economical.  Otherwise I would buy a 968.

It's practical and it looks awesome?

[Raza]

Yeah, but it's also AWD and under my gas mileage floor by a lot.  I shouldn't even have included the MS3. 

[TheIntrepid]

Dear god, Raz. Buy what you want. You know you're not going to listen to any of our suggestions anyway!

Problem is, I don't know what I want. 

[sandertheshark]

Bullshit.  You know exactly what you want.  You want a Porsche 968.

[Raza]

Haha, yeah, I do.  But I don't think I can afford to run one.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Then I'll tell you what you want. You want another Porsche. 944.
