mmz.. depends on what your intentions are when you get the car really?
Are you going to spend $$ on it for looks or speed? or ... just to save $$ on petrol?
good luck with the choice...
at the end of the day its your first car.... not the last!
Awesome thread dude - theres so many choices out there
Maybe choose a car that is not so likely to be done up - but make sure theres enough aftermarket parts for it..
