Ok so i'm over my boy racer phase and i'm selling my DC5 Type R Integra. I'm after some ideas. i'm looking for a car under the $15k mark that's comfortable and quiet but still has decent acceleration. Other than that, the criteria is open. except that I prefer Japanese cars.
Ideas! Suggiestions! Go :D

mitsi pajero v6 3000 manual, cheap to run and you get this real neat ticking sound coming from engine that keeps you occupied when the radio shits itself.

Mm yeah I like those too. although they don't seem to have the best reputation for reliability. or is that just the older models!

Its down to how they have been treated. My friend works for Cooke Howlison Toyota in Dunedin as a mechanic and has done for quite a few years now. He was looking for a newer car at the start of the year and looked and plenty of what Toyota had to offer but value for money, the Subaru won hands down. Its a very comfortable car, all the bells and whistles and about half the cost to buy as the same year Toyota with lower specs. When it comes to Subaru, peoples belief that they are unreliable just means you can pick one up cheaper;)

You may as well go for a turbo (or an H6 I guess) - the non turbo four is a letdown especially with the extra drivetrain loss and weight of AWD
Anyway I'd probably be looking at the E46 330i (ci if you prefer two doors)

Not a big fan of BWMs.
What about the 6 cyl Legacy!

The 3lt legacys are a very nice car.

I agree with the 3lt 6cyl legacy, try mind a manual one as well. or even a newer shape wrx, v7 sti or v8 wrx if you aren't a fan of the bugeye.
