Michael Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 82-85 Celica is indeed a good option, if you're amenable to a 25+ year old car, and if you can find one without the "classic car" premium. I had one in the early 1990's - good mileage, good reliability, decent performance (especially the low-end torque). But like most cars of that vintage, Celicas are vulnerable to rust. It may be difficult to find one in decent condition, without the "classic car" premium. Recently I saw a beat-up example at a local used car dealership, for around $2K.

Trevor Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 If you don't need a back seat...small Nissan / Toyota / Dodge / Ford pickups rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montezuma Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 As the owner of two 93 Miatas I can tell that they are very dependable and simple work on. One is a 5sp and one an Automatic, both are tuned very well and neither gets more than 25 MPGs. I got 28 one time in the automatic on a trip from San Diego to Pomona and back. If there is not a need for a backseat the Miata is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorealsosurreal Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well I've done more research and some coon flipping and yes I think miata FTW. But I'll be getting a 1.6L not the 1.8L, greddy turbo kit $1,200 and easily upgradable! Something fun I can tinker with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
