weell, the title says it all

im from toronto and will be getting my g1 soon, i know i cant drive yet but hey.. i still want a car to practise with lol.

i dont have alot just abot $1500

what car can you recommend, i want something that will look good and kinda fast, i want manual transmission <-- i want to learn with it


also what car can i get in used condition with my budget ??

 

You might be able to find a 92-95 Civic with that money, but it would probably need a little work for that price, or have higher miles.

I would try to find a SI (which is a EX model in the U.S.)

 

I just did a search for you on AutoTrader.com for cars $1,500 or less.

Here are a few of the options here in South Florida -

94 Honda Accord 113k miles
97 Nissan Altima 172k miles
97 Mitsubishi Eclipse 194k miles
95 Civic
2001 Ford Focus 123k miles

 

yo man.. i know this goes against the site but im a nissan guy

nissan 240sx all the way man
i drive one and i love it
cheap, has a lot of potentiol.
its gone everything you need

 

*got everything you need

 

240's aren't bad, but good luck finding one stock and that hasn't been thrown into a wall

Also, there is a little "edit" button in the corner of your post. Click that if you see a misspelling that you want to fix, don't double post.

 

Yeah, a lightweight RWD car in Toronto. I don't see how that could possibly end badly.

OP, I'd say try to find a 92-95 Civic. Like Cv said, try to find an SI model (but there's nothing wrong with the lower models, the SI will just have more creature comforts). Just look out for rust; that generation is known for rusting where the quarter panel meets the rear bumper. But for $1500 you're not going to get "kinda fast", nor should you really have "kinda fast" for a first car.

 

Buy Geo Metro save the extra money til you learn to drive = profit

 

Find me a running 240 for $1500 that doesn't have giant rust holes in the frame lol... even rusty 240s go for a lot of money by me. I would love to have one but too hard to find clean ones without breaking the bank.

And honestly don't worry about getting something super nice for a first car. My first car was a Cavalier my parents gave me, I totaled that thing within a month. Getting a pos is good for starting out since you are bound to make some mistakes driving, it'll happen.

 

my first car was an AWD subaru station wagon
