Two doors? I'm not sure that counts as a wagon. If it does, does a BMW Z3 "clown shoe" count as a wagon?

If that's a wagon, is a Fit? Because that car is no bigger inside and drives about the same.
While even worst case scenario, that's a GREAT deal, but I have to say that there is a HUGE difference between a manual V70R versus an automatic 2.5T. There is at least a 25% surcharge in the used market for manual transmission Vo's, maybe more on the rare V70R's. Can you post a link to the sales ad for the car you…

If you live north of the 41st parallel - this is indeed the best option. Of course, I have no idea why anyone would want to live north of the 41st parallel.
A quick search of completed auctions on eBay and Classic Auto Trader does not show many 2002's in this condition for less than $8K, unless I'm just missing something.
To anyone that thinks this is "Crack Price" - find me another RWD, 398 RWHP, stick shift coupe from Honda or Toyota for the same or less money. I'll wait.
People buy the Camry because they don't want to think about cars (or car maintenance). It's designed for (and sold to) people like Tom McParish or anyone else who is allergic to wrenches. How it drives, handles, look, etc - is totally irrelevant.
Having driven both, I have no idea why anyone would buy a VW GTI over a Focus ST, especially considering the (roughly) $3K real world cost difference, since high volume Ford dealers are willing to whore out any stick shift car that's been sitting on their lots for more than 60 days.
With those miles? That car will sell for mid teens, even though it's the much less desirable automatic. It's tough to get into a Holden / GTO for under ten grand unless it's got over 100K miles ('04) or salvage title ('05-'06). Hell, there was a manual transmission, brazen orange metallic stick 2006 (the best…
I'll grant you that an Accord or Corolla will be more reliable (assuming same year and mileage), but then again, it's easy to find a RWD, stick shift Honda or Toyota coupe with >270 HP for under $10K, right, Maxaxle?
Please drop "irregardless" from your lexicon. I couldn't read any more after I literally shuddered as I read it, and I was in agreement with you up until you dropped that vernacular feculence.
Yes. You can probably sell the wheels and not lose much from the swap back to OEM, plus you can put good rubber (Michelin Pilot Sports would be my choice) on it. It's a crappy (not quirky) transmission, but for "the price of a new Corolla" - you'd have the real deal.
This is the most surprising answer on here. I've never lusted after a Corolla/Matrix/Vibe, but I have always recommended them as economical and reliable.
Same thing. I went from Accord Coupe (V6, leather, stick) to an e90 335i and the BMW has been numerically and cost effectively MORE reliable and so much more fun to own and drive that it's not even close. The worst part is the Honda forums (JDM, yo!) and dealer network (we can't help you, but would you like to just…
My 2009 Accord Coupe EX-L (v6, stick) was ABSOLUTELY a "piece of shit"
2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 coupe. Mine was a six speed manual in polished metal metallic over tan leather. Oil leaks, VTEC and electrical gremlins for days. The worst part is that all of that was exacerbated by a terrible dealer network and forums that were full of kids with terrible advice and no mechanical…
Yep - no interest in living there.
