    Default New daily driver

    The corolla started getting tired on me after 170k + miles.. So I decided to get something newer (used) for work and shiznit.

    I looked at a Miata, IS 300, Mazda 3, accord and eclipse GST,SPECV

    Miata was to small.. 41k
    Lexus had to many miles and it sounded like it was about to blow up 78k
    Mazda 3, was nice I just wasnt feeling the rear 21k
    Accord, wasnt bad-41k
    Eclipse GST- to girly but it only had 27 k for a 99 w/ is good. But hearing all the horror stories going on with Mitsu lately, I decided to stary away.

    The spec V was the cheapest price, 18k miles and it drove really good..

    comfort is a thing i have kinda given up on... im 6'4" 280 lol.. but yea i had some room. the most comfortable car i have driven in a long time is my 240. the jetta has a surprising amount of leg room. i cant reach the pedals with the seat all the way back lol

    nice find. Mines not a spec-v but it has every option that one does (almost). For a temp. its been working out great. They are pretty quick.

    Very nice Choice, Glad it wasn't an 02 cause they had major probs with the pre-cat which later developed into premature engine wear/oil consumption.

    Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
