The mark 4 GTI is much better than the EVO. you would probably be able to get one cheaper. If you wanted something newer, but still cheap... Go for the VW Thunder bunny. great gas mileage, great ********, sporty but still practical and it's an import, like you wanted.
the VW tdi is amazing!

I specifically only drive european imports, so I would always pick those over the japanese nonsense.
And I have to disagree with you nissan... the Jetta TDI is great for gas and that's about it. I am not crazy about the tranny on that car. Its jerky and loud. Over all, the ride is sub pair... For the same gas mileage and cash, you could have a 'Brabus' smart car, or a honda fit, or even a used mini. The fit is the only japanese car I would take. It's an awesome car. but the other cars are really fun and are good for the money and for gas.

like it matters if it has 40-50k.... ITS A HONDA MOTOR!! They aren't broken in until about 80k anyways... lol I wouldn't buy a honda new. Make someone else pay the depreciation, if Its in nice shape used... thats a damn good car right there.

Dude... It's still a honda. I am not sure what labor and all is for you... but here we have a place called arizona avenue were you can pick up day laborers to fix up your house, get cheap textiles and landscape/remodeling supplies and the cheapest tires around, all in the span of like 3 blocks. They also happen to have like 70 car places for auto body, painting, maintenance and clutch shops. That is some of the best clutch work in the world... I swear. and It's DDIRRRTTTTT cheap!! I am talking like pennies on the dollar.
Besides, someone would have to miss every shift, grind every gear and ride teir clutch on the free way to do any REAL damage. If that were the case, you would know when test driving it.
It's your money, so... it's your decision in the end. I am nearly 21 and I am on my 7th car now. I have learned how to get the biggest bang for your buck with it comes to the car hobby...lol and now I lease... no depreciation rocks!!

srry nike i meant k20a2.. theres a place here called jdm of miami and if you buy the motor from them and swap it in there shop it runs you about 6k... i mean if you have the money thats great do your thing but its still a lot of money..
thanks for the comment on the leopard im looking for a female now so i can start breeding them..
rlablan i have my own personal mechanic hes a good friend of my and pretty much only charges me for parts no labor.... i really wanna get the honda i guess it all depends where the car is coming from down here in miami the street racing scene is really big so i wouldnt wanna by ne import from miami..... for a while i wanted a 350z i wanted to go I/H/E with a 100 just for shits and giggles but i cant drive a 2 seater until my girl gets her car....

lol it's all good. Just a friendly talk about cars.
nissan- the tiguan is nice. Why do you want an SUV though? haha for a while we toyed around with getting the diesel v10 monster that is the tuareg. That thing is a best... talk about torque. super fun SUV to drive... quite a bit more money too. Still might get one. I really like them, they don't fit car seats well though... fyi...lol
