Hey guys, Im looking for something to replace my bolted '05 Spec-V, and honestly I was hoping to get some advice and direction in which vehicle to purchase next. I am hoping to keep it under 10K, have it be fairly light on insurance, and something that I can modify without fear of blowing the motor.

Basically I have it narrowed down to a few ideas so far...but I was hoping to get some owner feedback on these cars.

1G or 2G eclispe or talon
EM1 Civic
S13 or S14
MKII MR2 (assuming I can find one under 10)

I also am open to any suggestions or ideas anyone has. Basically I need something that will be DD and light on maintence. I am open to all car manufactures whether domestic, japanese, or european. If anybody has any ideas, or input I would greatly appreciate it.

Im hoping to have a mid-high 200's whp, DD that is light on maintence and somewhat practical for a 21 year old.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!
