a 620 is way cooler than any s13 or is300. I'm actually thinking about buying a 521 myself. Old cars are usually more expensive to maintain than newer cars, but datsuns are so simple that there's not much to break. Plus it is a truck, so it's more practical, as long as it's not some stupid stance rat. And you get to play with carburetors, which is a lot more satisfying than EFI.

real.

If you want to feel like you own/drive a 'drivers' sports car, this is it. Can't beat the price. I think they look cool too.

First, you need something you can afford, not sure about insurance prices there, but here is expensive as f**k if youre newbie.
Also, for afford I mean insurance, parts and maintenance, if you have a friend that can fix parts for you, thats good.

Also, the first crash will probably be the worst, making your car useless, and something not powerful, 100-150 hp would be cool.

I would say some FWD, S13 are hard to maintain, cause if you don't prepare them, they use to break, especially the cilinder head..

The best option, if you dont want a Focus nor a european car, I would take an EG5 without doubt!

agree, price of the car itself isn't the most expensive thing about having a car, you have to buy petrol, pay for car insurance, summer and winter tires, oil change and such
an those are only things you have to pay for if everything works properly

Don't buy a car and then plan to invest money in it
unless you know deep down in your soul that this car is the one
odds are in 3 years tops you will have to get a new one
and it will probably happen within the first year

I know its s**tty advice but use this first car just as a point a to b car and keep saving
then when the first car breaks upgrade to something more fun that you tune and enjoy

It's different for us, we live where we pay taxes over taxes and taxes over insurance

oh and insurance

I had a golf Mk2 3 door 1.3L, had to insure it in my dads name it cost me so damn much

Then out in Canada I got a truck, but never really got it running well


but there is definitely a difference in how easy some types of cars are to get in different parts of the world
