Im looking at getting a wrx as my first car and this one caught my eye what’s your guys opinion? https://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/d/2007-subaru-wrx-turbo/6537866052.html
Thanks....what’s your guys opinion?
XJman is right. start with those cars. dont be discourage if people think hondas are not nice to have. my first car was a scion tc and learned to drive stick.Buy yourself an accord or civic. Both can be fun to drive, are infinitely more reliable and cheaper to keep running, marginally less likely to encourage you to drive like a tool, and likely won’t be priced twice what the car is worth like that one is.
I’m also an enthusiast so I would want like a 300zx or something like that.I've driven a late-model Camry and a friend's family owns two they are brilliant cars. Quiet interior, comfortable, safe, and reliable.
That party’s over. There is nothing to be enthusiastic about with the Z. They were great in 1992. They’re rubbish now and they won’t run.I’m also an enthusiast so I would want like a 300zx or something like that.

Holy crap another MR2 guy??!! We're a rare breed. Are you on the Northeast MR2 owners FB group? Pic for attention:We had these kind of threads all the time on the MR2 Forum as well and the same answer was given. It generally isn't a good idea to purchase a performance-type car as your first car. Mine was an 88 Volvo 740 GLE. Not really exciting but it was rear wheel drive and did the trick. I learned how to drive with that car, made some mistakes along the way, but it did the trick. Had another crappy car after that then bought a 92 MR2, non turbo though, and was able to handle all that car threw my way, and it liked to test me every chance it was given.
I got my WRX when I turned 30, kind of a birthday present to my self, and would not recommend it to a first time driver. It's not really a learners car for multiple reasons. If you want that WRX feel look into an Imprezza, but my vote is for something more practical like an Accord or Corolla. Both easy to work on and pretty decent college student car. When you look at a modified used car you have to come into that situation with the mindset you are buying someone else's problems.
I joined the group that was started with the MR2 board guys. I sold mine about 3 years ago though after I dropped a bunch of money on a BEAMS redtop swap. It was a sad day.Holy crap another MR2 guy??!! We're a rare breed. Are you on the Northeast MR2 owners FB group?
Dont think I will ever sell mine. Anyone I ever knew who sold an sw20 either regretted it or ended up rebuying one like I did! They're still pretty cheap for now but prices are starting to creep up.I joined the group that was started with the MR2 board guys.
