I love my E36 - but it's going to be a track car / and a daily

A well kept stock s13 is a nice daily. Especially if it's one with all the options.

Though it might give you the itch to modify it as well. Should probably get a newer model camry, corolla, or civic 4dr.

Look into an Infiniti Sedan.

J30, Q45, I30, etc.

They are pretty cheap.

HAHAha thats funny cuz i was actually considering getting a e36 but its a lil to much for my budget atm im just looking something problem free to drive around

[DreamN]

Mini Cooper would be nice too if you get a good deal on a used one. They're great little cars with above average MPG.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

price range? that would help you out with suggestions. i would suggest a civic for a beater.

integra hatch. awesome storage space, good gas mileage, easy to find, cheap, reliable......just get good security =]

[I LUV MY S13]

lol surprised the guy with the DA Integra hasn't posted with pictures of his car.

[andisan]

^ hahahah yeah were is he? maybe he finally sold it.......poor guy saw it on every "car for sale" thread trying to trade it.

Anyways you cant go wrong with a 4 door civic, I think you can find a decent one with low miles for a good price.

I'm in a similar situation myself.
I also have a S14 with far too stiff suspension for comfortable daily use (or even casual autoX for that matter)
Only I'm going to try getting softer springs first before resorting to getting another car in addition.
Softer suspension isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long it's set up in accordance to your driving style and preferences.

With Beaters,

common factors to consider:
-cost to purchase/finance/lease
-cost to insure
-mpg
-risk of getting stolen
-fun to drive.

Used to daily drive a CRX Si and it was my fav beater of all time.
cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap on gas, cheap on parts, and lots fun to drive stock.
I didn't live/work in a place that was prone to theft, so it was ok for the most part.
after i sold to some lady who lived in a part of town with more theft, it was stolen in less a moth.

2nd place was a 08 civic Si sedan.
fun car, but kinda expensive to finance.
put 5k down on that car, and had to finance for 370 @ 5%-ish APR for 60 months
eventually crashed the poor car out of foolishness.

Right now, wouldn't mind leasing a 135 for 360/month.
unfortunately, my credit is trashed.

I had a B12 sentra and it was a great little car.They are cheap and great mpg and if you get one with A/C and other goodies its a perfect DD.I never had a problem with mine.

[RurouniMidnight]

i just got an IS300 a few weeks ago for a daily, im really loving it i was looking for another hatch at first but decided i wanted a newer car for less headaches and just something you can hop in and drive, trust me a great daily will make you less stressed about driving your track car around all the time, Goodluck!

[boosted_kouki]

i got a great DD for you http://zilvia.net/f/cars-sale/258902...000-miles.html

[prodigyJJ]

My DD is a 92 saab 900 turbo. It is a pretty awesome little car. good gas mileage, good interior, and good storage space. I actually put mu ka in this car, and drove it to the machine shop.

[jdmdrft]

e30. Cheap. And fun as hell... Good on gas.. I love mine.

[aoiken3]

dont get a civic. chances are, you'll get it stolen the next day

[simmode1]

Get a Lexus. SC300/400's are pretty cheap. Or you could get a newer GS300/400 if you wanna spend some money to get something newer...

[s13skank]

I gots an Integra w/itr front for my daily it looks sexy and great mpg and what not

[nissantfsx]

I am in the process of searching for a 02-03 Mazda Protege 5

But yea, Honda (civic, accord...) are good daily drivers in my opinion.

[silnismo]

Bmw E36, Cheap, Reliable, sporty with excellent creature comforts.

Mines got 209,xxx and still going strong.

[s13 @ fullboost]

I have a pretty fast Corrado for sale its my daily and its reliable well it has been for me so far for the most part the only prob I have was with the blinkers but I added fluid and it fixed that problem haha =] PM me if your intrested

[Shadowhunter]

Personally I am in the same pickle. I will be buying another S14 or Gen 3 Integra GSR as a daily have not made up my mind yet.
