These will be a SERIOUS collectible. Especially an FE.

Yeah, my last manual was a 92 camaro RS. Been awhile for new the crosstrek is my leading candidate as its still sub 25k and saving with with a 200-250 monthly payment isn't bad.

Think i just want something that other people dont wanna race for a little while.

Used civic could be my ticket. And stick so im not bored with the lack of power.

If i want a 700 dollar payment that amg a45 is tempting but im thinking if i cant put down at least 30k on 53k cost then i probably shouldnt buy it plus im having trouble wrapping my head around spending over 50k on a car anyway.

Anyway, ive babbled enough. Appreciate the input.

np. i donno.. if u want to save, how about a used honda fit MT (2009-2014). those are actually pretty fun to drive and can do 0-60 in sub 8sec if manual.
most of the takata recalls, i believe, are now pretty much done.

This, a small zippy compact car that's standard.

Hell, I'd entertain the idea of a used Honda CR-Z. The only hybrid I know of with a MT, very zippy, great handling, and definitely fuel efficient.

I almost bought one before going with the Fiat Abarth instead... Should have stuck with my original idea and gone with the CR-Z. I'd probably still have it.

Oh yah! They're doing some very interesting engine swaps on the CRZ... S2000 and B20 Honda. And it's a great looking car not seen very often. But practically, a Civic SI would do nicely IMO

How was the Abarth? Just curious. They're practically giving away used ones and I was considering picking one up for autocross and such.

I vote the Fit. I just got one myself, 2015 ex, 13k miles, $17500 with and extended warranty. It's slow but practical, has a ton of space inside, and I've been getting up to 48mpg, average of about 40-42.

I read a lot of bad reviews on the CR-Z which I was originally looking at. Bad handling, Meh interior, etc. There's a reason they are discontinuing it. So far I love my Fit.

Do you have the CVT for the Fit. Heard Honda has transmission issues.

I do have the CVT, read a lot of reports and from my research Honda had one of the most reliable CVT's out there, no recalls or anything that I know of. Just to be safe I got the extended warranty, 7 years/100k miles on the tranny. Not planning on modding the Fit so that should take care of it for a while. I'll do regular tranny fluid changes and I'm not racing or tracking it, so it should be fine.
