Farrell Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Im going to be strait, im not enjoying my Glanza as much as I would like. Its just not what im looking for at the moment, if i could have it as a second car it would be better but its just too much of a toy, need something a bit bigger and more grown up but still fun to drive, with a bit of character and cool-ness (and still be Japanese too). The three I'm thinking at the moment are; Civic EK9, Integra DC2 or a Nissan s14 The issues ive got is that I quite often take passengers in the back (struggle in the Glanza, knocking exhaust and scrubbing tires aren't cool) and I don't have the facilities to do big repairs or maintenance (not that the Glanza ever needs any but it restricts my options for a next car) looking at the three cars ive chosen they all have downsides EK9, very expensive and look a bit pedestrianS14, lack of rear leg room and possibly high maintenanceDC2 im not sure i want one very much but it seems to tick all of the boxes (unsure of rear leg room if anyone can shed some light) Budget will be about £4000 if all goes well and insurance dependant as I will only be 21 when it comes time to buy the new car. I'm not sure if I'm being too fussy but if anyone has any other ideas or information on the cars I've mentioned it would be much appreciated.

Gainzy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I vote DC2, in red or white Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farrell Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 I vote DC2, in red or white im thinking its most likely going to be a DC2, white would be nice but it would need to be the JDM front end or no deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary91 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 What about a Corolla T-sport? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If your taking passengers out in the car regulary then why not look for something like an Impreza?Alot more practical for rear seat passengers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alot more practical for rear seat passengers. Had a quick look, only really like the later ones but they're well out of my price range D: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fremyjay Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Imprezas are too common these days, look for something unusual and jap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulgtt Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I was going to suggest an Evo but your age and budget will probably be against you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Or be a pimp and get a GS300 and VIP the fuck out of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fremyjay Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Or be a pimp and get a GS300 and VIP the fuck out of it. or a president, vip cars look awesome, i would literally kill for this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Something like a JZX90/100 would do the trick, ticks all the boxes, although youd struggle to get a decent one in budget. But then again it'll be hard to get an EK9 for 4K aswell.What about a Toyota AE111 ? Thats a beast of an allround car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 or a president, vip cars look awesome, i would literally kill for this I know man, VIP cars are the fuckin shit !! Just not good at doing anything other than sitting in a carpark dropped on their cunt looking cool as fuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Would have said go FD2 like me, but given your budget DC2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 An Evo 4 would be in budget,infact there was one on the MLR for £3800 I think it was with a 6 engine in it, weak point on the 4 is the original engine.Massively practical and quick, just make sure you keep a few pennies spare, servicing and fuel bills are high.Although my old standard 6 could do 25mpg with mixed driving, the 4 I have now struggles to do 18mpg.....even if I don't tickle the throttle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Can pick up a good Celica GT4 for 4k aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farrell Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 i do like VIP cars but i forgot to mention the mountain of a curb to get into my cul-de-sac not fond of the AE111 either :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
