OH god yes take a EX over a sunfire any day of the week.

And nissans are reliable if maintained.

You cannot beat a 5spd honda in terms of price, reliability, performance, and styling.

They maybe a dime a dozen, but thats just because you can do what ever you want with it, with out really breaking the bank.

and 2900 for a 95 EX is a little much, you should be able to get it less than 2k, it might need a little work, but you can make it look like you want to.

Fresh paint, 2in drop, good wheels, Si lights, Lip, Amber corners, and some nice tint and you are gonna have a badass looking car.

still gonna be slow (faster than your sunfire) but save up some money and drop a 95 GSR in there (one of the easiest swaps to do) and boom, a nice looking, pretty damn quick four banger.
