All Night Long Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm in the market for a new car and need to get something that is going to be loud for daily driving and to bassrace with. I'd like to get a used car for around $5000 and it has to be a hatch or something of similar style. I would prefer a car with decent mpg, like around 24+ per gallon. What suggestions do you all have for me? Right now I'm looking at a Mercury Cougar and also a Ford Focus ZX3. Any help would be cool cause I want to get the car as soon as I can, but I wanted to know if there are any cars I might have overlooked. I know there are other hatches that I didn't mention, but I want opinios from other people. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&W ROOTBEER Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 if you want it for mainly system results get a crx..great gas mileage too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Night Long Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 that is the obvious choice, but I want something a little newer and with less miles than you'll find on a used crx. Most of them I've seen lately are going for outrageous prices too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trappin859 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 1996-1998 Civic hatchback is a good choice and in your price range.
