Well I'm getting a new car for daily use. I have no clue which car should I get. Which car is good for daily driving and doesn't move like a metro? The budget is *ANYTHING* 30K and down. And I'm open for ANYTHING. Give me your best suggestion/shot. And NO! I don't want another S2000.
NICK
Thanks in advance.

Problem with driving any other stick is they seem like they all SUCK compared to the S2000's flick. Even a type R seems like a *throw*!

How about a miata. ahahha

get a typhoon....fast clunky and rare.

TIMMY!

For Chicago driving, winters? I'm thinking of picking up a used CR-V (or Insight, or Suburu wagon, etc.) for Ronica for the winters. I'll outfit the S2k with some Blizzaks, and I'll be good.

There are several fun cars coming soon. SVT Focus, Sentra SE-R, MB C230 Sport Coupe, and the Mini just to name a few. With what's out there right now I'd lean towards the WRX, or several of the Honda products. For small, fun and under $25,000 the Miata and the MR2 Spyder would be fun but not as good as what you've got for a daily driver. I might also take a look at the Jetta 1.8T

If you wanted to look at low mileage one year old cars there's all kinds of fun things to choose from.
