Thanks `Mike,
Which one would you choose `if you were looking ?

I'd choose the Audi TT or Camaro




Or I would get a BRAND NEW SCION FR-S for about the same price. (* I do like the Mazda RX8 for handling, but don't like the power of the rotary engine or the poor MPG's) Thanks `Mike for posting/sharing

A new FR-S would be awesome, but GM has been a mainstay for me since I picked up my first wrench at age 5 so the Camaro would be at the top of the list.

Thanks `Mike for your reply...
I respect your loyalty to GM, but has GM been loyal to you ?

I'm still in shock at the prices of new cars & also clean used one...
The list of sports cars on your link are all great cars, but the price is still high for the average person...

I would only consider buying a used sport car `if I knew the owner & how it was driven & maintained...Otherwise `it's just a major gamble.
That's why for $25K I'd want the FR-S with a good proven boxer engine & a new factory warranty + + + The reports are all great on them..and I love a car that handles/brakes/shifts/ and has decent power for what it is + decent MPG's... I think the FR-S is a fun car on a budget 4-Sure...My friend Beach Bum Tommy is trying to deal on one..He now has a Scion tC & it's a fun car, but once he drove the RWD 6 speed stick FR-S he fell in love.

Hi `Mike, I thought 4-Sure that you would've `gone for the Mustang LOL
I guess then that I'll just have to get one & then we can line them `up and see which one is better I do like them both...& `if I had to choose between the two it would depend on condition & miles/options etc `if they were both around the same price ?

I would go for the audi TT or the Nissan 350z.

I have nothing against the camaro or the mustang, but if you stand on a street corner in any town you will see 5 or more drive by in under 5 minutes. The audi and the Nissan on the other hand are a tad more rare.

It's nice to stand out in the crowd once in a while

I would definitely go for the Audi. I have loved the look of Audi cars since I started play GT5 and seeing a lot of them lol. I do also like the fact that you don't see them as often as the camaro or mustang.

Like the only Nismo 370z I have ever seen is my moms haha, not a car you see too often.
