My BMW is sold and I'm looking to replace my VW Jetta with something more fun. My budget will probably be <$6k, depending on a selling price of VW. I don't want another BMW because I don't have time to work on it - this will have to wait until I finish school. After doing some research, I figured that it would be the best option would be to get a teggy GSR. What can you tell me about these cars?

PS. I've been thinking about SI, but they are mor expensive. They are priced around the same as M3

 

Woo welcome to the club... well once you buy one. a GSR is a good choice and you should be able to find a decent one for that price.

 

How quick are they and how well do these cars respond to mods? All I really know is that they are reliable and handle extremely well

 

iirc they have about 170hp and about 128tq. i am preatty sure they respond decently to bolt on's, but as always you always have the option o fboost

 

I thought GSR's had like 180 hp and like alot more TQ. 128 Tq SUCKS? My moms Kia has more i think... haha.. Doesnt have enough tq to tighten the bolts on a ford ranger. Lol jkkk

 

Yeah the GSR have 170hp and 128tq i double checked to make sure

 

Thats not alot of Tourqe is it?

 

hondas dont need a hell load of torque.

 

Especially for me. Going from a 6cyl to a 4cyl will be weird.

PS. My VW has about 128tq and 120hp, so I'm kinda used to a car that has no ***** in the low end.

 

jdm gsr has 180, usdm has 170. and how much torque did you expect from an NA 1.8l?
