What?? Isn't Miata the clear winner in any of these what car? threads.

If you are in your 40s balding and under 5 feet 6 inches tall....then yes. (joke guys don't take offense)

And it's just gonna be a cheap dd no matter what the case, I could potentially be moving to Washington DC or be part of the armed forces within the next few months as well. So somethign that I don't really have to care all that much about lol. I'm in DC right now and all I see are older cars with lots of dings and dents....not a good sign for someone who loves their cars.

Really? Those are your only two options? I think you are overlooking suicide as a viable alternative to living with either of those.

Nope, kicking you square in the go-nads is another option

There are two particular cars in great shape that I have found, I still have to sell my Mustang in the time between. But what would the oh so great giant purple Bob Costas recommend?

That $4k WRX I mentioned is in DC.

I think the comment about the unpopularity of that gen of si is over dramatic. Honda fanbois are not the only market for honda cars, or even the biggest, only the most vocal. The car will sell on its merits, and i think it will be much easier to sell than the same saab, especially as the value of cars go continually down and repair prices stay the same or go up, the honda will likely end up being more 'worth fixing' for longer than the Saab.

I'd take the Saab over the Civic any day, but then again, I'd walk before I'd own a Honda.
