I have this list:
Acura Integra - Mid 90's
Acura Legend - Early 90's
BMW 3 Series - Early 90's
BMW 5 Series - Early 90's
Honda Accord - Mid 90's
Honda Civic - EG or EK hatch
Lexus ES300 - Early 90's
Lexus LS400 - Early 90's
Nissan Maxima - Mid 90's
Nissan Altima - Mid 90's
S13

Please let me know anything you may know about the cars on it. The only car that I'm intimately familiar is the S13, having owned one and pretty much dissassembled and re-assembled the whole car. Facts only please, no "buy this b/c it's baller" Good or bad experiences with any of these cars is greatly appreciated.

 

why is the the corolla NOT on that list?

 

corollas maintain their value over the years :*(

 

Oh, the list is also limited to cars I like
I forgot to clarify, but this will eventually become my daily, and my G will be replaced by a "toy" like an S2000 or a bike, so if I'm gonna daily it, I have to like it.
And on that note, I've removed the Golf & Jetta, as I don't actually like them.

 

hater. corolla's rock.

 

To be honest, I really don't like Toyotas. They really don't give a damn about drivers when they make those cars. Yea, they're reliable and economic, but they're just so bland and uninspiring in everything that they do, that they make me want to commit suicide. I've had two so far, my 87 Celica, which I actually liked, I think they made some nice, sporty cars back then, and my 2000 Solara, which was nice and reliable, but was the Japanese Buick. I've never had a more boring car in my life. If I had to daily another Toyota, that isn't a Celica, Supra or MR2, I'd kill myself.

 

definition of a hater.

 

LOL, whatever
Have any of you owned any of the cars on that list?

 

parents had a 91 accord, sold it to a friend, still runs strong after 150k+ km (might be more, don't remember the mileage tbh).

 

Maxima is probably your best bet as a daily driver..most cars on your list is pointing towards "luxury" and "mid size car". Maxima is one of the most reliable cars i've owned. I still have my 95 maxima as a beater and daily driver that has over 280k on it. Still pulls strong, very minimal rust, and ac still blowing cold, heater is nice and hot. Leather is aging as the previous owner never took care of it but other than that, it's a good reliable car. It's not that bad in gas either. Parts are also fairly cheap. The only thing I had to change is the water pump after 250k.

 

I have a maxima beater as well, pretty reliable, power everything even its running on my 35th anniversay rims on it in the summer.. looks pretty bad ***..haha

 

ek hatch

 

Lexus ES300...

 

I would go with one of the Hondas on your list. I would avoid the BMWs unless you like to spend lots of money on maintenance and parts.

 

4th gen maxima (95-99) with 5 speed transmission or EK civic. Owned both, and they are excellent cars. The EK was my most recent beater, and I am looking for another one for this winter. Like you, it will probably become a daily driver through the summer and I may replace the G with a project car.

 

Accent. Everyone really looks up to and admires it.

 

I'm 99% getting a Civic, but there's a cheap S14 for sale right now that is actually in my price range, so if that somehow doesn't get sold by the time my Talon is sold, I'll ****** it.
