1993 Honda Civic Hatchback
1.5L In-line 4 cyl. 8 valve
5-speed manual
MPG: 35 city, 41 hwy
2-4 seats
70 HP, 91 TQ
Fair Purchase Price: $2,000
The '93 Civic and earlier models were outstanding with gas mileage. These cars would run 350-410 miles on a single tank of gas! While the HP sounds low, the cars are very easy to tune to crank out more power. The cars might seem small and inferior to a 03 Civic, but the cars are just as big and even faster/ The consumer rating is a very solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.

MPG: 16 city, 22 hwy
5 seats
340 HP, 302 TQ
Fair Purchase Price: 8,000
The '04 Audi S4 is an outstanding car that beats most of it's rival competitors. With a 4.2L V-8 pounding with 340 HP, it has great power that also comes with comfort, reliability, and luxury. Audi also outdid themselves by bringing in a fast sedan, a family wagon, and a weekend convertible. The car gets a perfect 5 out of 5 consumer rating, the only drawback being the small rear seat.

Cheap, fun, and fast cars #1: 2005-2007 Ford Mustang GT
Hey there guys! I'm putting up a special post for you people who love custom and fast cars.
The first one will be a 2005-2007 Mustang GT. These cars naturally come with a 4.6L V-8, which produces 300 HP stock. They can be bought for $13,000 or more, but they are great cars, saving 15-23 MPG.
Ok, so you have the car, and what now? Well, it is time to mod! For those of you on a budget, look for a cool-looking hood scoop, a cold-air intake, and find a cheap short-throw shifter. Then watch your car fly off. And, if you can't find a cheap, loud, and HP boosting exhaust, just go to your closest Autozone and buy some exhaust tips.
For those of you who have money to spend, I'd suggest an upgraded computer, single or twin turbos, cat-back or titanium exhaust, a body kit, short-throw shifter, platinum clutch, some weight loss (maybe lighter weight body), some new tires, and some nice spark plugs.
Now, if you want an awesome road and track car, put all the above mods, but you also might want a new engine. Maybe an old engine for a foxbody Mustang or a 490 cubic inch, 7.5L from an F-250. Why not a big-block from the 60's or 70's? Also, take out the A/C, radio, rear seats, and many other un-necessary things. But, if you want some music, you can either keep the radio, or find a huge boombox from your local Flea Market. Racing tires, new transmission, engine tuning, upgraded carburetor/fuel injectors, fuel system upgrades, and many other things.
Stock Mustangs should be at 300 HP, lightly-modded should be 310-330, heavier mods can make it reace 350-450 (maybe 500), and racing should be much higher than that. Try to get it 550+ if you want it road and track tuned.
