Okay, let's see. All motor, reliable, and practical seem to be the order of the day so let's see.

I guess you skipped over the all motor, reliable, and daily driver part huh? First off, all motor RX-7's are pretty much garbage, especially considering his budget. Second, the rotor-bomb is far from reliable and 12MPG isn't exactly practical for daily driving. That pretty much takes care of that.

If he were considering boost or an engine swap, I'd agree with you. However practical, all-motor KA24's are hardly worth praising and accelerate like turds. RWD is fun, yes but with what the 240 comes with here in the states, it's not a very good choice for a fun N/A platform.

I would say Integra GSR.

Practical in terms of gas mileage, great aftermarket support, and all motor? Who gives a sh*t if it's FWD? The GSR does the best to meet the requirements you've set for a car considering your initial options.

I, personally, say go Miata. You can get a sweet NA series MX-5 for under $5000. Practical, reliable, RWD, can move it's own weight, and an outstanding aftermarket support. Win.

^^ Rotary are not trash when they are taken care of, ( the inherent problem) but a Miata sounds like it would fit his needs to a T

Even if he managed to get one that was well maintained, he'll still be getting 12-13MPG and still be a torqueless wonder. That's neither practical nor fun, obviously. lol

Turbo II's are lots of fun, but their N/A counterparts drive like crap. Considering that the OP wants to go all-motor, that kinda limits the comparison.

Answered your own question right there.

All motor = GSR


Anything else 240

you have 5k?

buy my 240whp s13 240sx SR20det w/t28 turbo for 5k

spank any GSR out there.

out handle them, out dorifto them, and out launch them

GSRs are only fun if you have a garage and $500 plus dollar alarm...

GS-R

Having owned a GS-R and an FC.

Go with the GS-R

Also, if you get an FC, it is at least a 15 year old ROTARY powered car that you don't know the history of. Don't make that mistake.

I DD a gsr and I must say that it is a great car for both the performance aspect and the NON gas guzzler fee, but there are times when I would love to have an SR or RB powered 240 to tool around in. I say it doesn't matter which way you turn you will choose a great car either choice.

Both of those cars are overrated but if I'd choose between those two I'd go with a GSR. Why just those two though? Plenty of other options out there...
