Going to Let go of Big Mama

[grandprix17]

Hey Guys,

Haven't been on here in a while. Been busy with college.....but I am going to try and get rid of Big Mama this summer. She has a mind of her own when it comes to running, staying on and gas milage. So she's gonna get the boot when I get some money sadly. It's been a good 2 and a half years. Just wanted some suggestions of things to possibly replace her with. Part of me wants a Mini Cooper. I'm not sure. Something used, under about 8 grand or so. Goood on gas, kinda sporty, reliable. Prefer a coupe. Got an email saying I hadn't posted in a while so I decided on this sad one. Thanks for the help

Well, you could go with a Golf GTI.

Cobalt.

Actually, i'll back this. Coupe, good gas mileage, blue would say it's reliable, and they can be had for cheap anymore.

Turbalt if you're gonna fork out the money for a homo cooper

haters gon hate. cooper is an awesome ride, as long as you get the S version.

Get a Cooper S and forget what everyone else was saying. Those cars are stupid fun! I wshi we would have test drove one before getting my wife her Beetle Turbo S back in the day, but nobody had them in stock. Now, we have a family and they dont have enough room.

If you need room, grab a WRX, or, and I'm playing devil's advocate.... Volvo V70R. You can get one for around $6500 or less in great shape if you look.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Here's the deal. I'm about 6'2, my brother is also. He's 15. I gotta pick him up from school, practice, etc. Gotta have space for him and myself. I never use the backseat or the trunk in Big Mama. All of her steel really goes to waste. I always put groceries inside of the car, never the trunk. My budget now seems to be about $6,000. I did test drive a Mini Cooper and it was VERY fun to drive. And it was a base 115 hp model. A little go kart. Don't like the Cobalt at all. So it's a no.....any other suggestions are appreciated

And gas milage and upkeep are MAJOR concerns!!! I'm a broke college student haha
