I need practicality, not a racer. I'm only 18, but I already think like my dad.......sigh.
When I bought my 03' CL-S I was buying the practical car...BTW it is only a pain in the ass for the people in back...YOU will be the driver. I say screw the passengers

It's not a wagon, and I'm sure a lot of people get Subarus for the turbos and all-wheel drive........

Get a used 4-cylinder Accord for 12k and save the rest for school.

Some of you people make me laugh. Buy a brand new car for 25k and just drive it into the ground as you drive to school...

lol

I say save it as well, invest some in repairing/maintaining your car. With about 3-4k invested in your car, I doubt you'll have many problems putting another 110k miles on it.

If your parents are getting you it, however, may I recommend the Passat Wagon w/ 2.0 TDI engine?

Seats 5, is a wagon (room), and gets 28 mpg in the city, 39 on the freeway. And as all diesels, great torque (247 lb/ft @ 1900 rpm). I really don't know about their reliability and such, but if your research checks out, that car sounds perfect for you.

Also, not a bad looker at all:

When it rains down here, it fucking rains . I used to have trouble in my Mustang when it would get bad, and front wheel drive isn't good for performace, so AWD is the happy medium.

another vote for S2000.

S2k, Partical...NO, but you are young you only live once. Make someone else drive and pay for gas for your tail gating parties.

I'm getting 26mpg consistently and as long as im not crazy my S2000 has done just fine in the rain. (or Seattle drivers are just use to the rain)

My 2 cents

If your CL is ok shape keep it. Unless you've bagged on it you should be able to drive it to 150,000 easy. Plus its still a nice car. Save the cash and buy something sweet when you're done school.

Its still a sweet car and I'm guessing its not all that bad on gas.



why dont you just keep your CL? It will get fucked up in the parking lots at campus anyways

agreed

If he takes care of his care, and im sure he does. then he'll get a hell of lot more miles then 150K. 150K on a honda is nothing.

Sounds like dad is loaded. Take 1/2 of the 26K and invest it for graduate school. Take the other 1/2 along with your trade and get yourself something really nice. This would be a nice trade-off & would be an impressive decision for such a young guy.

Meh, I think I'm just going to end up keeping the CL. I have my Dad's truck if I ever need to haul shit. I'll just save the money and get an M3 or something when I graduate college




In the meantime I'm thinking of buying a FC3S RX-7 or IIgen Eclipse GS-T......just to fuck around with. And to have a stick.

I would, but it's very hard to find a GSX, much less find one without a lot of miles or that's already been riced to hell.....
