Looking to replace my sedan - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

carbonBLUE · 01-11-2013, 02:35 PM

So guys my 08 camry crapped out just above its warranty (bad bearing)
the car still runs but im thinking about replacing the bearings and rings over the next couple weeks then selling it

i think the engine croaked because i drove it twice in 3 months because i couldnt get away from my FRS... lol

so the point is i still need a sedan of some sort because i do have children BUT it needs to be fun to drive still so i actually drive it

so here are my options

wait for a shooting brake (if it ever happens)

would be ok with 2 doors because of the added leg room

OR

a used lexus ISF (probably wont drive it but 2-3 times a week taking the kids around)

plus i havnt owned a v8 yet or even a v6 at that (i have modified 4 cyl cars to be faster though so im used to a car with that amount of power to weight)

thoughts?

I feel like you're dreaming a tad large here.

If you need a practical sporty people mover get a WRX. You wouldn't even need the STI. They are damn quick.

If you need a car with plenty of space then get a Charger R/T. They are great looking cars and they have some power. Not to mention they are fairly inexpensive.

Why spend that much on a used car when you can get new and just as much performance.

I vote Ford Focus ST or WRX. I like the Charger but not the reliability.

Alright, i guess every one is thinking it but wont put it out there-- i'll be 'that guy.' Here is what you should get:

The search is over-- shut down the thread.
