No, German electrics make Lucas look brilliant
Yes, nice, but heavy
Nice, '03 or newer, with the V6 - great freeway hauler
Yes
So you want to look like a Barnum&Bailey reject?
Get a Fusion, they're the same and the Ford would be less likely to be vandalized
Yes, very fun
And boom goes the dynamite
You really don't care about reliability, do you?

The Cooper S is pretty low on the list. It's fun but the used ones are still way overpriced in my book.

The S4's reliability doesn't bother me nearly as much as the dismal fuel economy and generally overpriced used market.

Fusion is ugly.

Harsh. Always so harsh with Sir Crankypants!



I think I'd be inclined to go for either the Evo or the new Si. Just my $0.02 which converted to USD is worth less than nothing.

My price range is 18-20, will go to 22... so it'd be a used Evo IX vs a new Si. The only new cars on the list are the 6 and the Si.

uh... dude.. an '03 evo VIII goes for $23k.... i don't think you will find too many used evo ix's, at that price, especially since they just came out.
