Preferred:

-Small
-Hatchback or coupe
-Reasonable gas mileage (20mpg min)
-Sporty... preferably a headturner
-1995 model or newer
-$6,000 max

That's all I can think of giving without getting too specific. I like the look at the 95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse, but something newer and more reliable would be preferred.

What makes of cars might fit this criteria? Seriously though, I want it to look awesome.

A car I had that fit all those criteria was a 1988 Dodge Colt DL with an imported Mitsubishi 4 cyl engine. Reinforced engine housing and converted auto transmission. The screepmeter only went up to 95mph, but I've been pulled over doing 140 in that thing.

What did the needle do?

Also. I forgot to mention that I like the slick look of the eclipse. Sleek and fast looking. Yes.

Keep dreaming dreamer.

Older people generally sell good cars though, now that I'm thinking about it I was thinking of buying my friend's 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT. But the guido had to try and race it and ended up busting a cylinder, fffffffff.

I don't have to dream.
