Default Which car to buy..?

Well i'm in the market looking for a second car. I've been doing my research but still can't make up my mind. Its between 1999 White Sc300, 2004 S2000, 1993 300ZX TT, 2002 Blue WRX, 2004 Black Wrx. I know thats a lot of selection but all are nice cars. With this car it will be a daily drive. Im not going to race it but will do minor upgrades. It's my first Manual car cuz tired of driving my 2008 Scion Auto Xb.

If you get snow in the area you live in, the S might not be a good daily car compared to the others. Some do drive it in the snow, but still difficult if you get a significant amount.

If you do decide to go with the S, make sure you take your time learning the car. It can bite you in the ass real hard if you take it for granted. All in all, it is your decision. The only car in question on your list is maybe the 300z. Don't get me wrong, a nice car indeed, but doesn't look right with the rest of your list you chose.

sc300 will be hard as hell to find in manual.
z32 sucks it's heavy and no one cares about it.
s2k obviously but i don't get y u are going to daily the s2k and keep the scion as a "weekend car"? or did you mean to say the other way?
subarus are good but for the price of it you can get a real nice s2k...u can drive the scion in the snow or bad weather.

as far as I know 1999 SC300 do not come in manual. It is possible to find a 97 tho.

If I were you and it is a daily, I would get a WRX

No, ALL WRXs have turbos, it is the RS that has the 2.5 NA engine. Both that he was looking at would have a 2.0 turbo engine. The S2k that you are looking at must be pretty cheap, or those WRXs must be overpriced, because the S2k is a higher priced car. Unless of course you were talking WRX STIs, but they did not offer those in the US until 2004, in which case the price is compareable
