the most fun automatic under $8k will be the Rabbit, you kinda get the best of both worlds. You also may want to look at a Mazda Protege5,it is more of a wagon than a hatch. The Vibe GT only came in a stick, I would have bought one back in '03 if the had a auto . I have the same wife problem and we switch cars fairly often based on whoever has all 3 kids gets the mini-van. Don't you also have an older BMW ? Would it be possible to make a combination of that and your Nissan your daily drivers ?

Replying to: guss (Aug 07, 2009 7:24 am) P5 has always been on my list. I'd actually like to find one of those mazdaspeed proteges. See, if I open up to a stick, there are so many other fun, cheap options. I'm going to have to talk to the wife. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 07, 2009 1:08 pm)  I'm just back to four cars for four drivers. Daughter #2 got her license so in theory she splits the Celica and Ody with me. In reality she drives the Ody. Down the road six months if she wants an actual car I'll offer her the same deal as her older sister and split a car loan and insurance with her.

Replying to: fezo (Aug 07, 2009 3:31 pm) our backup cars are so cheap to have around and worth so little that it just makes sense to me to keep them for now. The B2200 is the most expensive because I can't carry classic insurance on it. So that one has got to go.

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 07, 2009 3:54 pm) Just wait until your kids are old enough to drive! The insurance rates are stunning in the worst possible sense of the word. If I needed a pickup you'd be all set... Killer is I keep looking for possible car for #2 and keep finding this I'd really like myself. It's all your fault for bring up Volkswagens.... |

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 07, 2009 6:52 pm) I think the standard engines in newer models are probably just as fast.. I'd rather have the P5, I think..
