$2000-2500 To spend what car??
Looking into changing cars. If you had $2000-2500 to spend on a used car what would you buy and why? Im looking for reliable, fun to drive, Has to have back seats for kids, and upgradablity performance and body wise. I was thinking VW as I really dont like rice that much. And I am sick and tired of all domestics having tranny, and engine problems. An ideas whould be great.
Thanks for the input.

I know where there is a MK3 VR for around $4000. In very good shape, it's been to the road course a few times, but it's very well looked after. Personally, I think the VR is a great motor, but parts are expensive. If you want fun, quick, reliable, get a mid 90's GTI 2l 16v. Great motor, tons of aftermarket for it, and it's easy to get over 200 hp with a turbo.

Well I just found out my wife is finally ok with me switching cars. I found a couple of Ford Probe GT's (Madza) V6 but she is telling me it has to be an AUTO!! How am I suppose to feel cool in a AUTOMATIC?? So far in my price range we have the following:
Ford Probe GT 94-95
94 VW Passat VR6
Any of these any good?
