is this a chicks car ?? help needed

[Mr. dB]

Traffic ? lol..... Come here buddy and spend a week in downton Montreal and trust me, the word traffic will take a new meaning. And still no one drives a 1.1L around here. But to answer your question (and assuming I was into econo boxes), I'd take a Toyota any day of the week over a Renault, Citroen, peugeot, Seat..... Echo hatchback used or a Yaris. But for $2000, you can get a used Mazda MX3 V6 1.8L. More hp and torque (which is what cares after all for traffic) and faster on the 0-60 while being very conservative with fuel consumption...

Uh, who said they have MORE traffic???

I bet driving in Montreal is not much different from any other North American city of similar size.

As for being "into econo boxes", what other choice does an impecunious young Scot have? They don't have muscle cars or big trucks over there.

I remember the little V6 MX3. Whopping 115 lb-ft of torque, you had to practically row it with the gear lever. It made a Honda seem like a stump-puller. And they're getting pretty long in the tooth, the V6 version was only sold in '92-'94.

North American members, myself included, are probably not able to give an informed opinion on this thread.

My first car was a MX3 GS lol. They made them from 92 to 96 (North America). For $2000 it's probably one of the best option for a small hatchback. 130hp and 115lbs at 4000rpm if im correct but only 1100kg... lol Still faster than a Civic EX (have you ever tired a 92-95 Civic at least ?). 4 disc brake (shitvics had rear drums), pretty good tranny and electric package unlike the Civics HB back then. And for peanuts, you could swap a KLZE bolt-on inside (200hp). I had so much with this little bug...(i know its a chick car lol).

Btw they have other choices there. It's pretty much like Spain, France, UK so they have access to the regular line-up including some trucks (Nissan, Toyota...).

he doesn't want a truck - he wants a small economical car.

I personally wouldn't get the car he is looking at, but I don't laugh at his choice.

In the USA the V6 was gone after '94.
