Good day to all Boys and Grrls.

I need your views. Opinion's what ever.
:D

Before I ask heres the deal.
for those who know I had this Tx-5 turbo for my daily. Well I finally lifted the head on it. Now I'm going to use it to get my Mx-6 fixed or at least runing again. The mx-6 is the weekend and well is going in for some body repairs once it's going again and few other things. I try to keep it stock as.

But now I have no daily.

The Ba astina V6 hardtop is nice to drvie it is auto but it's not me. It's a little cramped for my large head. I like it but it's not for me.

So Now I'm slowly looking around for another car for daily use. now I loved the Tx-5 sleeper. Eg WRx didn't know what hit it. But I'm over it really, I'm getting old or at least sick of sydney traffic.

So i'm looking for opinons on your 323's V6 I dont' mind but so far two models are in my mind 323 Sp - BA 323 hatch both BP 5 speed.
the Ba only because I don't mind have two of the same car it makes it easy on som parts and the like. which is why a hatch V6 speed is not bad but. I preffer the ease of the 4 cylinder when it comes to fixing stuff.
I dont' mind the latter models I just don't like the 1.6L - not enough go. The 2.0L are too much IMO - as for that money I'll buy 2nd hand fleet car.

But do give me your opinoin or views on the car.

At the moment I'm very temped to go buy a Mx-5 but the question of load space is in my mind.


Main issues I'd like ot know is handling - braking and economey covering fuel and breaking bits. I know the basic costs but just the unknown bits. Like dizzys on 1st sereis 2nd gen 626 mx-6's with the KL engine etc.

Buy a BA 1.8L I4 as your cheap run around, if your willing to spead $5K-$9K

Good braking and economy. Handling is average but cheaply upgradable to zoom-zoom packages.

Engine bay is easy to get into, except left side where all belts are, but not too bad, just annoying. The BP engines also have cheap parts available as the engine series was used for over 10 years, and in many different cars across North America, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Europe and Australia.

Buy a manual version for the 1.8L I4 and you'll probably want to sell the 2.0L V6 within 3 months.
