Post cars youre considering

Really is there anything wrong with these?

I want to get out of my current boat, I was looking at much older 2 door sports cars or hatches in manual, but for the price im very much considering it

I just wish it wasn't red, really makes it feminine

Shifting with your left hand seems so odd

Its not a bad car, they arent exactly fast though

Yeah, there's a reason it's so cheap.
They drive like generic, slow hatchbacks which you can't see out of properly, all while having actually very expensive parts.

For $7,500 you can get a good condition Soarer which will just be better

the suspension on these is abnormally stiff on the earlier cars. otherwise its a fine enough car, kinda fun, feels big inside.

i bought one when they first came out and ended up trading it in a year later.

Good advice, they still seem decent for the price
I understand but I personally cant stand the soarers

Well If you could get one that's blue like the one in the picture but but in a deeper color i think it would look better

The issue is only this red one is at that price, besides this they start around 8.5-9 for 100,000kms

I have a choice of two cars currently

A 2002 VW Golf 2.0 with 100,000km on it

or

A Ford Focus 2003 1.6 with 130,000km on it

I can get the focus a bit cheaper but im leaning towards the golf.

Which one would you pick

Golf would be better but consider repair costs
The focus shares the same engine as the laser and would have great parts availability... However would be the worse car

Have you considered a ford laser SR, or a Mazda 323 sp20?

Fiesta ST. Drove one and fell in love. Skeptical about financing, but have a 4k down payment plan. Any similar used options I'm overseeing at 4kish?
