Only Dave can pick a Juke, then some how put CVT and Herpies in the same sentence! Dave your my hero!!:lol::lol::lol::lol:
The final numbers for the day are... The Juke with one... (From Dave.0) The Audi A3 with two... (Was Dave's suggestion) The winner was separated by one vote... And the WRX takes it with 6 to the Countryman's 5! Plus Dave gave up his sweet ride, and is now stuck with a Nismo Frog with a over size snowmobile transmission, unless he continues to vote. And his previous ride is up for grabs... I am sure that it is thoroughly cleaned and has low miles if anybody wants it? Now the bad news... Pic's aren't working for me right now! I would put up a pic of the message that keeps popping up but.... Yeah. Anyhow, I will add the pic's tomorrow when it works again. For the last of the first run, its time for the "special" cars under $35K! Would you rather buy and modify: A Mazda MX5 (Miata) which is $27,550 the way I have it configured... Or: A Scion FRS with all the TRD options at a cost of $31,844... Or: A MINI JCW Coupe, with no options it is going to almost be over budget at $33,250! Or our most expensive and the only one with a V6... The Nissan 370Z sport. Its a mid grade Z and will set you back $33,570 as a base price. There they are, 1 FWD, 1 V6, 1 with more than two seats, and all 4 of them are good looking FUN cars! Pick the one you would modify to suit you!
You know I'm a JCW Coupe guy and recently was going to sell mine but decided to keep it because I like it so much. JCW Coupe for me.
I see the TRD options don't include the supercharger. So I'm voting 370Z It was down between the MINI and a Z when I was shopping last time.
The Z is a mean mother F56'er once the motor isnt held back by its power limiting factory parts and tune! Yep no TRD S/C optioned on the FRS, but what you do to it when it is off the dealer lot... Thats all up to you! Turbo it, S/C it, engine swap it... Money outside of the $35K limit on the cars is nothing here!
That's more like it! I would rock any of those cars--although I would request the paper bag with two holes option for the Nissan, cause she's nasty lookin'. Although it's well established that the answer to every automotive question is 'Miata', I'm voting for FR-S today: more power = more fun.
I like the 370's looks way more than the old 350... They coulda done the BMW/MINI thing, and noticed the Juke wasnt selling, and start putting the Juke front end on EVERYTHING! You say the MX5 is down on power, until you have somebody swap in a single turbo 13B REW... the smile never ends with one of those in a Miata!
Thats good to hear! Ok this is a hard chose, I would be happy with any of them. But its the Coupe for me.
I have an NA Miata, but really don't car for the later NC as much. There is a saying that the NC is a better car, but the NA is a better Miata. That being said for a day driver I'd take........ The FRS/BRZ. Nice balanced handling in a tin top coupe. I could be happy behind the wheel.
