Tough Decision

Well Wensday im going to go get my new car.. I have found a 4runner exactly the way i wanted it.. But now i hav ea decision to make. This car i was wanting to get has finally came in. Which it is a mazdaspeed protege. I looked at it the other night and the thing is PHAT as hell. Im torn between which i should go for. To go for the fast, turbocharged car or the off roading SUV. Eventually i would want to have both but I dont have that kind of money right now. What do you guys think? I am kinda wanting to get the car cause The 4runner is really something i want to have when i ahve the money to fix it up but the car is already fixed up and everything i want in a car

Sounds to me like you already answered your own question...

In order to have the most fun driving the car you pretty much have to speed and risk tickets. Tons of fun can be had in a Runner at crawling around at 2-5 MPH and no laws have to be broken.

You are probably asking the wrong group of people.

our opinion is going to be a little biased

I would agree with tomus, But I would look at what you do in day to day life. Do you ever need to have a SUV? For example, do you go up in the mountains or at least where it snows? Also consider gas milage. If you commute day to day then the car might be better for you. I would look at your needs and make a decision based on that.

I think that you need the best of both worlds! I am into off road, but my buddy is really into street racing! He just goes nuts for the Subaru WRX!!!! Fast on the road and a hell of a rally car!

Is the 4Runner you're looking at a 3rd gen? If it is, mount up a supercharger and it will be fast as hell too!

Yeah i would be getting a 3rd .. And Where i live you can do both the mountain thing and the beach cruising thing (good thing about north carolina) and Girl wise there hot girls on both sides. Only big difference is mazda = 20k 4runner = 15.5k but i would also be putting about 5 k in modifications.. And yes the ticket thing sucks but around here u get tickets for gay things like yesterday i got a ticket for being under the light when it was red but i was already going when it was yellow.. Gay ass cop now i have 125 dollar ticket to pay
