An inexpensive, fun and reliable ride is the 91-94 Sentra SE-R. Great
handling and very nice engine.The only problem it's butt-ugly. Tons of
aftermarket upgrades.

Subject: 16v is gone...
Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2001 20:21:43 -0400
Yesterday, the 1992 16v was sold...may she rest in peace. I think she
went in a good home because the guy is a mechanic and it's his fourth
dub (never owned a 16v tough...).
Anyway, I'm looking for a new car that would be a lot of fun to drive
but that wouldn't have the crazy insurance premium the 16v has. I was
thinking something like a a2vr6, a mazda 323 gtx or a CRX hybrid. I
thought I'd ask you guys because many of you own a few cars and have
owned quite a few. I even think someone on the list bought a gtx323 last
year.
Don't flame on me yet! I still have a few questions and a few points to
make.
-A2VR6 : Nice...are vr6 reliable? I've heard so much bad stuff about
them (especially OBD1). On a scale of 1/10 the 16v was a 4/10 just to
let you know where I'm standing
-323 GTx: awd, turbo, light FAST and nimble. Are parts really rare and
expensive? Is the awd feature just another trouble maker? How many miles
can I expect before the awd system fails? Should I run away from an old
turbo car if I care about reliability (even if the engine/turbo/tranny
are 5k old)?
-Crx : Yup it's a Honda...with a 160 or 180hp engine from the japanese
market it can be a blast to drive. Just have to find a clean body...and
they are SOOOO over-valued. We're talking 14sec quarter miles with the
honda lawnmower reliability and a light car.
Thanks guys, and I promise I will own a 16v once again when the cash
flows...sniff sniff poor little college student.
