Looking for first car!

[karisma]

Hi,

Im not sure if this is a noob question or not but i put it in here just in case. =]

So yeah im looking for buy my first car, so i can practice manual. I was thinking of getting either a Civic Vti-r, Integra Vti-r or Prelude Vti-r. Im not too sure about all the CXi, GSi etc and all them other models. I really want to get one with a vtec engine and low KM's but spend under $10,000. I think i saw some Integras GSi for under 10? Can anyone tell me which one would be the best, and the cheapest.

thanks in advance! =]

a decent vtec one will probably be few a few gran over $10k

i was gonna go for a civic vtir but then decided to get a prelude because it looks so much nicer inside and out.
teg is too round...civic is sorta too round as well and the interiors suck imo...lol and then i was like...1.6L vs 2.2...gonna go 2.2L !! fuel usuage is not bad...i get between 10-10.5/100 with mixed city/hwy driving.
go around, sit in a few and then decide which interior/shape you like...
that's what i did

haha thanks for the reply

im not too picky about the interior and stuff lol, i just want to get a nice car for under 10 thousand =] um a prelude seems abit expensive lol.. my parents wouldnt get me a car that expensive as a first car.

Your price range probably suits a good EK Civic VTi-R ('96-'00), you can find average/high km VTi-R DC2 Integras ('93-'99) and BB6 Preludes ('97-'00 I think) for a couple grand more.

Clean low km late model examples should be 14k+
