You could get a decent first gen DSM (90-94 Talon/eclipse) for 3 thousand.
Stock turbo (if you get the TSI... dont bother with N/a) or if your lucky can find a Tsi AWD for that price.

i say grab a golf, despite wat people may say, they are the most reliable car out there, unfortunately when they do break down tho, its a pretty penny to fix.

I love my car, but i wouldnt suggest buying one.

i work in a shop, so I can get parts cheap and labour is free. I just recently had to replace both O2 sensors and a cat. Earlier this year i had to put on a new disty (common problem).


For reliability, by all means, go import. Even though a probe TECHNICALLY is an import, it isnt built as well as a little honda motor.
