A: "Best" is subjective unless you want to base it on hard numbers such as 0-60 times for example.
The Mazda and Honda will both smoke the Scion so if your main criteria is acceleration, rule the tC out.
As far as reliability is concerned, all 3 makes have good reputations but keep in mind that the Mazda V6 is a new motor. It has yet to prove itself while the other 2 engines have been around for a while.
Q: Which car should I buy?
I am planning to buy a new (automatic transmission) car in a month. I have narrowed down my choice to these 4 cars.
1) 2010 Mazda Mazda3 s Grand Touring:
Pros: Good reviews for the 1st gen. model. Compact (I am 5'6'', I am the only one sitting in the car 90% of the time, so don't need a bigger car now). Considered to be fun to drive, has good power, acceleration, handling.
Cons: It has been in the market just for 2 weeks, so hasn't been tested thoroughly yet . One dealer was asking $25000 with the moon roof and tech. nav. package (which I want on this car if I buy this car).
2) 2009 Acura TSX:
Pros: has 35hp more than Mazda3. Reliability. 2009 top safety pick (excellent NHTSA and iihs ratings). I have been to one dealer and without any negotiation, he was selling it for $27000 (without the tech package).
Cons: The car is bigger and doesn't look like a compact car it used to be . Requires premium fuel. I don't know if maintenance/oil changes are expensive.
3) 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6:
Pros: Reliability. Power. I am getting it for $24,800 (without the nav).
Cons: It's too big. I don't know if it's fun to drive, would like to know the fun factor compared to Mazda3.
4) 2009 Toyota Rav4 limited V6:
Pros: Four wheel drive. Reliability. SUV feel. Moderate dimensions (it's smaller than Accord). Power. Last month I was getting it for $28000.
Cons: gas mileage. I don't need a SUV now.
Please share your thoughts on these cars based on fun-to-drive factor, acceleration, quality, reliability, overall value for money. Thanks.
A: try looking at the Honda Civic or the Subaru Impreza
Q: what is a good street racing car?
i have seen all the fast and furious movies and fell inlove with them. i have especially taken a liking to the tokyo drift. after leaning about drifting and testing it out in my, not so fun, 95 geo tracker, i fell inlove with the sport. only drawback is, it only drifts when its wet, snow, and it tends to tip. warning label on the visor warns of tipping, so i tend only to drift in the snow. but the car is falling apart and i want to find a new car. so far ive been fairly picky, wanting only RWD cars, but no so much anymore. i have considerd any good tuner and am broadinging my horisons. my car wont last long so help me out fast. i need to find someone with good knowladge of the tuning sport and need suggestions on what kind of car is good for tuning, and what mods and engine parts i should apply to it.
ive been looking for a:
- 97 nissan 240sx,
- a 99-02 mustang,(can u get a turbo for one of these??? if so where?)
- an earlier model mitsubishi ecplise,
- a 94+ toyota supra,
- a mazda rx-7, (love the vilside fortune rx-7 widebody kit shown in tokyo drift)
-and even been looking for a nice kit car such as lambo and ferrari for cheap.
i have a min. wage job and about 3k right now. but i plan on buying a car hopefully soon, like around 5-6k dollars in hand. any suggestions from tuning experts or guys who just know thier cars?
also, is it better to get manual? i want the thrill of manual and the conection with the car, but is it just the same as driving an automatic with things such as accelteration and top speed? in my opionion i always thought manual would be better and faster.
any assist?

A: Technically all of those cars are decent tuners/drifters. American muscle has been beginning to bring in the numbers now compared to the traditional Jap tuner, but the easiest and best car to drift with is an AE86 Toyota Corolla/Sprinter with the 4AGZE Supercharged engine. Nice and light, but the 4AGZE is Toyota's racing engine. Pretty high-revving, lots of torque. This car is the most popular for beginner drifters but it's a weapon when used in the right hands. Also Manual is better than Auto for drifting or any type of motorsport in particular. The Sprinter, being such a popular drifter, also has loads of parts available for you to chuck on it to make it handle better and go quicker. Out of your list the Nissan 240SX is the most popular that I have seen, the Mustang was born a natural drifter, the Supra (especially twin turbo) is a weapon for drag but not really drift, the Eclipse is not really that strong or that good handling (AWD lets it down for drifting), and the RX7 not only looks the shiz (although that WBK is going to be costing you more than the car itself, better off looking at RE Amemiya bits), the 13B Twin Turbo is a beast when fed the right parts.
AWD is also starting to rise up in the D1 drift scene. Team Orange used to have two WRXs in the team but now theres an MY07 Subaru WRX STi and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX (both AWD), and they're doing pretty sweet.
And finally any model Nissan Skyline is a great drifter (Especially R32 GT-R with it's ATTESA AWD system that only puts the power to the front wheels when it needs it). The RWD ones you'll find are easier to drift being RWD (duh), but there are loads of people that shoe-horn in an RB26DETT to get some extra power of it.
