Which would you drive in college?

[Kevykev]

This thread does NOT exhibit your "typical" college scenario.

[EJ25RUN]

I've driven my 06 STI though all my years of college.

[staygold24]

Narrowed it pretty much down to cobra, evo, z06 or m3

All have similar price ranges compared to the miles.

Which one would yall go for? Have to call my insurance company and get a quote for em too. That might be a deciding factor.

[40th GT]

Unless you're deep into drag racing and/or are in love with Mustangs I'd scratch the Cobra off the list.
I think you'll like the EVO, and I'll also add the FD Rx7 to that list because it's a car in your price range that you should consider. And if you buy the FD, please for the love of God, keep the rotary in there.

[40th GT]

Sure it may not please the rotards on here who think its practical to drive a 2 seater that burns a qt of oil every 5K miles, or the V8 nutswingers who say that if each testicle counted for a liter, their balls would displace more than a b18c, but it's still a nice car, esp for the cost.

If rotarys really burn about a quart every 5k that's really not bad at all.
There are some piston engines out there that burn just as much if not more.

i think they'll all be pretty high up there insurance wise, so its probably just whatever you want now... i really like sti's myself, but its all up to you man. you have some solid choices though

[hondachik]

IS300

[FoolsDrifFWD]

id drive the STI.

[mistergou]

Cobra !!

[claybird]

rustangs are to common at college but an sti or evo has more room for ur frinds and are almost as fast

[Aeroscout977]

What about a gti and chip it?

[S2KJD]

all of the choices except the cobra.

[blaknoize]

Why not just get a simple car for college? Something useful and easy to maintain and takes regular fuel? Ur in college. Are u there to impress bitches or are u there for ur future? I'd go get something that would WORK for u. I mean... get a used Element. U can move everything, spill stuff, get drunk and throw up IN the Element and just spray if off. Gets great fuel and so on.

[EG_Ryder]

a Honda is where its at in college!!!

[redrumracer]

i say is300 with a turbo kit

[NoRotor]

For a DD in college, I'd want something that I could haul my friends around in.
Of those choices, I'd go with a de-winged STi. Don't mod it. Just drive it and enjoy it for the DD it is.

I DD'ed my LS1 FD for a few months in college. I was constantly worried about door dings or someone jacking it. It takes too long to get everything right with one of these cars to let some drunk college kid to t-bone me.

Ever look at MKV GTIs?

Really nice looking, handling, performing. Fairly cheap, with an optional DSG system. Lots of space. Sure it may not please the rotards on here who think its practical to drive a 2 seater that burns a qt of oil every 5K miles, or the V8 nutswingers who say that if each testicle counted for a liter, their balls would displace more than a b18c, but it's still a nice car, esp for the cost.

I loved my MKV GTI, but the FSI equipped ones(06- early 08) do use up to 1qt of oil every 1k miles.

The oil is expensive as hell too, about $6-7 a qt. Definitely get a 6MT if you get a MKV though, the DSG models are notorious for dying. Mine died and it took 5 weeks for the new mechatronics unit to come in and these results are typical.

I definitely recommend a MKVI though they seem to be the MKV with no quirks.
