I want to buy japanese sports car (tuners). Since there are to many to choose from, I'm not sure which one is the best? I will be using it for daily driver so it must be reliable, fuel efficient, and goes quite fast.

Budget: no more than US$15,000

The one I have in mind is:

Honda Civic EG6
1998 Toyota Chaser
Nissan Silvia S14
Toyota Supra
Nissan Skyline GT-R R32
Honda CRX del sol

A nice pick of cars there and all will see you right,as said before there are amny factors to owning a tuner car,IE

The Supra MK 4 is a really great car and has plenty of power with its tunable 2jz engine,although lacks rear room from the back seats being to small for young children even (experience with my kids when we was going to buy one and friend had one)and no trunk space,not a prob but it could be,daily car also these like many tuners love the fuel.

The Silvia is a great car myself and my own opinion would go for the s14a due to having more hardcore looks if nothing else, car wise these are nice cars and offer great handling and quite roomy the ka engine can be tuned and there is a turbo kit out there for it also,other versions carry the sr20 engine which again are super tunable.

The Skyline great cars and the R32 is a great version which offers plenty of leg and trunk room,a great super tunable RB engine and a great awd setup and great head turning looks.a pleasure to drive i took our old one across three countries on a road trip.Parts are easy to find with so many parts sellers out there and Nissan still sell new parts for these cars.also the Nissan s13 parts often fit.

The Chaser lovely car i would love the tourer as a family car as well as owning the skyline,nice big cars and offer a nice bit of turbo power and

mixed with great looks also look at the mark II version of these cars.

The del sol look really nice and there are some nice kits out there although compared to the others is very small.nice cars tho and very nippy.

Other models i would look at are the

silvia s13

180sx

soarer

varietta

corolla

levin

evo

impreza

300zx

integra dc2 dc5

calibra

gt0/3000gt

how much space do you need? the chaser is a 4-door - think BMW M5, except in japanese. they're also pretty rare. so are supra's. On the other end of the spectrum are the EG6/EG9 (if you mean hatchback) and the CRX/del sol. they're pretty small, especially the CRX, which is strictly a 2-seater. you won't fit much else in it, besides you and a friend. the GT-R's a pretty tough find too, like the supra. however those 2 aren't very fuel-efficient, both having 3.0 motors i think, in a very small body.



so, if you need the space, find and get either a chaser, GT-R or an S14. if you just need to get from one place to the next, get the an EG hatchback then convert it into an EG9 or a CRX. Or a supra if you can find one, and if 3.0 twin-turbo is fuel efficient for you. for reliability, the hondas, the chaser and the S14 are your best bets. the supra and skyline may have been driven hard by previous owners. you may also wanna consider that there are tons of parts for the EG, CRX and S14. getting a chaser, supra or skyline makes you different, but that means more custom parts too.



if you're into rare, try finding a mitsubishi FTO as well. some models have AWD, and it's got a 2.0 V6 under the hood.

May i suggest an Acura rsx type-s. You're apparently into fast. The Type-s has insane top end, their easily modded, and get good gas mileage. I have an 02 type-s and get on average between 27 and 31 mpg. Plus I've hung with built EG's and del sol's. The eg6's are good cars too, with the right motor in it. By all means though, if you can afford an R32 or Supra then go for it man!! I'm a big fan of both, the only problem with those would be finding one, and the R32's are near impossible to get registered and insured in the US.

daily driver so it must be reliable, fuel efficient?



get a damn Hondas...

or

Nissan S14 aka 240sx in state

Acura RSX type S

Subaru Impreza WRX

Toyota MR2 89+



Those car are usually good budget, and easy to work on. And doesn't cost a lot of money. Its kinda easy on gas, and daily drivable, and quite fast at same time.



and no you can't buy a fast car with only $15,000 even if you did buy a skyline or supra for example it will cost you way more than that just to maintain, or repair.



FYI if you never driven a "fast" cars like at least 200hp, than any car you drive, it feels fast for you.

procuring a vehicle is a techniques greater acceptable than leasing. A pre-owned motor vehicle isn't a undesirable decision those days. exceptionally by way of intense cost of latest automobiles. in case you purchase a clean vehicle then be arranged for best money and intense priced insurance. in case you hire a vehicle you're making month-to-month money, they look after the upkeep on the motor vehicle and on the top of the hire the hire you have the alternative of procuring for the motor vehicle you purely leased. If it fairly is a hire purchase you're making the money then on the top of the hire you're making a balloon cost. procuring a used vehicle will mean decrease money. the only draw lower back is the better pastime cost. it is not that undesirable . on the easy approximately 15% pastime. optimal you could carry out a private loan on a used vehicle is 4 years. Reasoning the depreciating cost on the motor vehicle. Pay as lots down on the motor vehicle as available. The money additionally would be decrease. purchase your used vehicle at a broker, too. Reasoning: They super clean the motor vehicle, track it up, exchange the oil. They examine it out genuine solid. in addition they provide you 5 loose oil differences at maximum sellers. solid searching. Oh and verify your credit is powerful or you would be dropping yours and the sellers time.
