^ Mazdaspeed 6 might be worth looking into if you're considering an old WRX

Will consider it.

If you live where it snows the wrx is a no brainer. If not civic might have the edge on reliability but not by a ton.

I live in Texas. Not much snow, but we do get ice around here during the winter time which sucks.

Car noob here. I'm getting a new car in the near future and would like some help on what car would fit my needs/wants.

Needs/wants:
- stick (don't know how to drive one yet, but can learn from friends)
- 4 door (would like a 2 door, but mom won't allow cause of insurance)
- sedan
- good mpg
- daily driver (going to drive it till it dies)
- fast/sporty(?)
- affordable
- easy to mod/find parts to mod (this is probably 1 of the most important things that I want to do to my car. Don't know how to mod, but would like to learn.)
- has to be new
- no Toyotas

I was first wanting an Accord, but now leaning towards a Civic SI cause I heard they have a lot of parts to easily mod but still don't know...any car suggestions?

Narrowed my options down to the WRX (used/older model) and Civic Si Sedan (leaning towards WRX atm though). BUT, if I can get a used 370z (my dream car), I might consider it.

Not a fan of hatchbacks, although the Focus ST does look nice. 

Can i ask why bass model mustang camaros and chargers not an option? They make 300hp and theyre still a v6 so you can call if gas efficient and look beter than them wrx corollas

Bass model?

I assumed 2 door would increase my insurance so that is why I stuck to "sedans/4 door". But if that is false and it depends on the insurance company, then I'm all ears for other car options. Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, etc. I'm just trying to see the best value I can get with my budget and needs.

Ice sucks for everyone so awd doesn't really matter. Just test drive a bunch of cars man. Make a list and try them all.

If size isn't an option, you might want to look into a Honda S2000 with low miles or even the new Miata.  Both are dependable, good on gas, sporty, moddable, and within your price range.  Insurance shouldn't be too terrible either.

I posted this pic back on page 1 of this thread. '93 teal Cobra. Miss that thing...

My absolute favorite mustang model EVER.

I just recently found out these cars were awd. If I honestly knew they were 6-sp turbo awd I would of highly considered it before I bought my current car. Finding one local and in good condition though is tough.

Will look into this as well. Thanks. I ran out of reps but will rep once I can.

How do you guys choose the best tires for your car? My rear right tire popped going over a deep hole today. And both front tyres look like they're going need replacing real soon. So I might as well replace all 4 since they're not all from the same brand.

quoting myself again since I got ignored the first time

go to a website and search reviews b.

 

[shekki]

I'd get a slightly used WRX, basic bolt-ons, a tune and cop some nice tires.

Get a hatch

Edit: Just noticed you wanted 4 doors. Cop da sedan.

Yea, that's what I'm leaning towards atm.

Depends on your budget, if you want
2 nice summer/winter sets, or just an all-season for regular commuting, etc.

Really comes down to what you want out of the tire, and what your budget is. Sometimes also if you want it to sit a certain way on your wheel.

don't really have a budget
there's only one season here in S. Florida, but it does tend to rain a lot
my car is also on springs, so it sits kinda low

Might want a good set of summer tires. They tend to perform better in the rain as well once warmed up vs all-seasons

 

[mplsdunk]

Don't spend good money on tires with a dropped car unless your camber is adjusted. Either way falken is good for the money.

Truth. 

Copping a stang or camaro in a V6 is hustling backwards.

What kind of car? If it's a sports car, sure, go for a nice set of summers, and a set of winters. If it's a Corolla, just get a nice set of all seasons that got decent reviews and aren't too expensive.

That new ecoboost stang seems pretty quick and they probably wouldn't kill him on insurance and mpg is pretty good.

Yeah Im sure its cool, but those cars just aren't the same without a V8.

Affordable for me is between $20k-$25k.

If the thing about insurance not affecting the amount of doors on a car, I'll get a 2 door. But I'll have to make sure with my insurance company.

Sounds like most people are saying WRX so I'll look into one.

If I can also convince my mom that buying a used car that's only a couple years old with low mileage is okay, then what other options would open up?

Appreciate all the responses. Repping.

I assume you young and for us younger drivers insurance is just higher. No way to get around it besides not complicating it more with accidents and delinquent credit.

Your in Texas, hmu and I can connect you with some people on the insurance piece.

 

[baby jumpman]

Dude looking for tires also check out treaddepot. If I was you I'd sign up on a forum specific to your car and look up what vendors they have. They're always willing to give deals to members.
