Craptastic ;(
It got worse.
Yes, that is fake wood on it. From the factory.

OR get a mid-to-late 80s Chevy Chevette. I have never driven one, but it's the same Chassis as my car, which i love
Audi Avants (ie A4/A6) are more plentiful than the BMWs, although I have ridden in a 325i wagon and own a 330i and can attest to how much fun they are to drive. Realistically though, with a daily driver mindset, I'd go for a late 90's LS400 or older LS430. These cars are bullet proof and will outlast the sun. My friend's dad has an '03 with 146k on it and it still starts without hesitation and runs smoothly; the only way you can tell how use the car is is by looking at the interior as he doesn't really clean it and lets his dogs in the car, etc. Honestly, I'd buy one with 50k+ on the clock without hesitation. Granted, they aren't the most fun cars in the world, but for a daily driver, they can't be beat.

just so i know what i should be thinking of here...
Fun car
Easy for DIY maintanence
1996+
modability but not somthing where you are easily gonna sink tons of money
manual transmission??!?!
based off that list i am thinking mostly american muscle. They will have DIY maintanence covered manual tranmissions and with proper application of monies can be made to go round bends... what about a 200 -2002 firebird? IRS easy to work on V8... stick shift... 15Kish...
also throwing out the mazdaspeed protege... easy to work on fun as fuck to drive and at around 7-8K cheap as a mother fucker for a 2003-2004
I know it's a college car, but how about an old civic coupe, they are pretty much bullet proof and have a lot of aftermarket stuff for tuning.... ?
Firebird is a stick axle but thats not my complaint on it. The interior quality and lack of storage capacity kills it for me.
The Protege has been on and off my list. Though I think I'll end up going more toward the protege5 as it's a hatch..
only problem with 240SX is drifter tax in both price and also the joy of trying to find one that has not been beaten to within and inch of it's life
bad motor
auto-tragic
fail-matic
