What Car Would YOU Pick?

[sodikartracer]

1st gen Mazda B series pickup, with a protege engine in it (been done). Good gas mileage, and you can hall stuff :-)

link to the build? sounds interesting!

if i cant have my festivas i dont want to live!!! :shock: lol jk

mini cooper (old one) (and if i could fit my 6'6" butt in there...)
crx or civic of some sort...
swift gt (1.3L) or a 1.0L turbo sprint
justy
mr2

without ever finding about the festiva and the bp and b6t motor swaps i had never heard about escort gt or 323 gt but if i had i would drive one of those too

or i would make a car that looks like the festiva and drive that

Protege5
VW Jetta wagon (diesel 5-speed)
original VW Scirocco or a new one (not available in the US)
Volvo 122 wagon

If I could pick/build any car it would have to be a 1G eclipse GSX with a 6 bolt block, evo 3 big 16g turbo and about 25psi of boost Gotta love AWD.

Loving my protege5. I LOVE the 90-93 accord wagons!!!!

If my car disappeared and I couldn't have a Festiva I think my next car will be a Volvo Wagon though.

I'd drive semi truck. Big and Bad a#*

What I would do:
Kenworth C500 tridem with 18.00-25 tire option and a triplecharged (2 turbo, 1 super)/NOS'd Detroit 8V92 as a daily driver. Anything worth doing is worth hideously overdoing.

Or for something a little more well-mannered, how about a Setra S417? First time I drove one I wanted nothing more than to take it home with me.

What Car Would YOU Pick?

….. If there were no Festivas and Aspires in the world today, what car would you pick that would have all the same basic qualities: Affordable, easy to work on, rugged and tough, good gas mileage, reasonably priced parts, etc. What would be the next best choice?? :?:

Thanks

While not really meeting those standards, I still love the VW Corrado Vr6. Had one back in the day and loved the styling, just hated the headaches and empty wallet it gave me!

[scitzz]

I like the new Kia Forte.

[festivaWES]

corolla or corona with tacoma 2.4/27

510 or 620 with a sr20 or vg30de

mirage or colt or summit with a 4g63t

[ckiesman]

I'd have to have my old 91 s10 back

[ShagFestiva]

Vauxhall chevette "Saloon"....with an sr20det swap of course

[blkfordsedan]

* Original Fiesta
* Pinto (already have a rust free '71)
* Mustang II (already have several)
* Maverick/Comet
*Granada/Monarch
* Ford Focus
* Fox body Fairmont (really love to have a 2dr sedan w/V8)
* Mazda 323

Although I'm all Ford, I really think an older 4-door K-Car w/turbo swap would be cool.
