Im looking for my first car and like the 2002 Acura RSX base model (Honda Integra) , 2001 Toyota celica, 2000 Mazda miata (Mazda Mx-5).
Which one would be best when thinking of (in order):
exterior appeal, Performance / fun to drive, Fuel Economy, other features such as safety, interior appeal and space.
And any other car that could be good similar to these??? (keeping in mind that I’m in Australia and Turbos/Superchargers in a petrol and V8s+ are not allowed for P platers)
Thanks!
Integra is great car but check with your insurance company. They have become popular with the “tuners” and have been getting stolen and wrecked more often causing the rates to go way up.
the mazda is a fun car due to it’s low center of gravity and 50-50 weight distribution.
it’s getting hard to find a celica that hasn’t been rode hard and put up wet.
You’re not going to like this answer – but – which do you like best? You’re the one who will drive it day after day. As far as your choices – you can’t go wrong – all three are great cars; dependable, sporty, fun – I’m partial to the MX-5 as I’ve owned them for twenty years and they’re great. Advice is good, but when it comes to cars it’s a question of what you feel good in, what puts a smile on your face, gives you pride of ownership – and I just can’t help with that!
