Mercedes makes the Smart car which being 6'4", I can tell you there is a surprising amount of room inside and the car is a blast to drive. I am seeing more and more of them on the road, and they are certainly good on fuel.

one of the engineer's at work bought a black smart car last april. it took 1 year to get it, he wants to sell it because he don't like it and the mileage is not as good as a geo metro. he can't give it away, they aren't anywhere near as popular or in demand as they want you to believe. anybody that wants a very nice black one i can hook you up in a hurry if you want to come to okla to pick it up.

No car's going to cover up your "youth :wink:


Please don't be offended, but a nice "subdued" sedan (AWD or FWD) will do the magic.
I don't think you will impress investors/important people with you (being early 20s) driving luxury "preowned" sport coupes.


six ...

you have some great potential with your academic degree ... your car choices are excellent however if i am a potential investor unless you have an impeccable pedigree, academic and extablished excellence in your field that is proven and you meet me sporting your rolex and driving a flash car ... going to have some hesitance (given the econmic times) to justify having my company invest in dollars to fund you.

your academic training is scientific and logical so be practical. a cardiac surgeon has the potential to make $$$ but an individual just out of medical school, just passing his boards is at least $300K in the hole there is not one medical manufacturing firm that fund any research projects without that surgeon being FACS, MD Ph.D and recognized as an authority in his field of medicine

but you might be an exception ...

oh your comment about the car salesman that was being a dick to you because you were young and he lost his sizeable commission ... if i was him i'd pass too not all of us "can get what we want when we want it and should get what we want when we want it" but your mom was right for you up grade your car to fit your immediate and post academic position

best in your search ... :wink:

So after everyone's kind comments (really helpful thx you all !)

I ended up purchasing a ( 09 civic si )

No ... its not the high end luxury I was looking for ...
but ya know what.. I'm young
:)

This will make a great car for the next few years.
+ it was a loooooot less expensive then the other cars I was looking for, and under a very nice warranty program.

Unfortunately I couldnt find an 09 mugen.. not sure if their even made an 09 version.
only thing I could find was late 08's being sold as "almost 09's"
buuuut for 3 grand more... I could get a brand new 09 so went for that.

and the 09 has a redesigned bodykit (front and back bumper)
while not as nice as the mugen body kit - its not far enough off to make me spend the extra $ on it - also from what I've read w/ specs the Mugen proformes the same as the 09 si.
