Preferable Car?
If i could do it over again, i'd probably grab a ford thunderbird supercoupe again. Fairly sleek lookin car. Has a decent amount of power. Is a bit of a sleeper, and rediculously comfortable.
There's not a ton of them around, but i've seen a few of them lately with lower km's...like 100k or 115. You should generally have no issues with the car up until maybe 180km or so, then you may have to replace a few things.
- v6 3.8L supercharged- so not toooo bad on gas (though that depends how ya drive)
- 210hp - wear + any upgrades. 6.2s 0-60mph
- Supercharged (thats just cool right there - some love the sound, some not as much)
- Ride control is nice for comfort, car is rock solid at 200k (though does run a bit warm, so living in a warm spot like the okanagan in BC or similar wouldn't help it)
- Fun car all in all!
- Not very good in winter (had 15 cinderblocks in the back of mine and it still sucked).
Threw a quick picture of my car in there, stock looking apart from some clear corner lens's and some minor window tinting.

Do your own research. Buying a car is a HUGE decision..you should be doing the deciding yourself.
I think your being unrealistic about the body kit thing..work on getting a car first, 4 wheels and a motor. Also..2 doors are WAY more expensive on insurance. You think cars are expensive..try paying for gas and insurance on a 2 door. Worry about all that tuner crap later.

Well, I found myself in a similar dilema, and lucked out.
I had and aging '85 Accord, and I wanted something more useful, that I can put a decent system in, and go camping, or hold cargo.
I ended up with a '97 Saturn SW2. My choice came from high recommendations of that series engine (timing chain, not belt), and overall satisfaction.
So far, I'm very pleased with it, the door speakers are designed for oversize 6-1/2. so Morels will go perfect.
I hope your search goes well.
