Go for the celica.

I like its interior over the RSX anyday, and it looks 100x better.

Used Sentra SE-R (pre-new style, more like SR20DE)
Used late model 240SX
Used RX7
Used Insight (dont' ask why)

Out of those three, I'd take the RSX Type S hands down - you can't beat 6 gears

How about a late model Miata?
Billy take some advice from Bruno...or atleast consider a used car. However is money isn't a concern for you....then buy new.

Previous gen Subaru 2.5

If I was going to buy another car, it would be a 1994 Legend, 1999 Maxima ES...something like that.

Thanks James.

I've bought 2 new cars and a gazillion old ones but to be honest, if you have cash in hand, the deals you can get on used (1-2 year old) cars is just amazing. Also, always look for a private sale. I know some families where they are like... oh dear, the GS400 rolled over 50k kms, we better go trade it in. LOL I **** you not!

If your looking for a nice new car, I would say the RSX, they make decent power, have a good aftermarket and they look pritty nice. I agree with some of the guys here, I would go for a used 2.5 RS, cant beat AWD

You can't legally drive the newer style MR2 here in Canada.... can't be insured.

I'd say check rates first, then decide how much each car will cost you monthly with the below:

Monthly payment
Insurance
Gas
Future mod (not incluede)

If you ask me, I'd say 6th gen hatch but since that's not on your list, I wouldn't enforce you or suggest you to buy one. Good luck on your search.

He's not referring to the MR2 Spider though, he is referring to the previous gen MR2 which was sold and is legal to drive here.

95?? yeah you can... my buddy has one, and there is at least like 6 around town of the older style single turbo ones. Not the BRAND new Spyders, but the previous ones with the pop-up lights.
