    Nope, it's a 4.
    It's the old Renault Clio. Mine is 1996. You can drive the new one in Forza Motorsport.
    1.2 liter (which is ~73 cubic inches).
    well, i mostly do in-town drives (towns are limited to 50 kmph ~31 mph in my country) so i dont need more.

    Get ready for it to break down.... and eventually start burning oil at 70K miles. Speaking of breaking down. My Taurus is in the shop probably going to get a new head gasket or new head because radiator fluid leaks into 1st cylinder...

    I drive a Chevy Blazer during the week, but on the weekends I drive my sweet 62' VW Karmann Ghia.

    There's a really cool exotic car dealer near my house that always has a few used low mileage Porsches, I toyed with the idea of getting a black 1988 944. It was in my price range, but the damned maintenance would probably have killed me.

    I advise you to watch the Top Gear episode where there is a challenge of buying a Porsche with 15.000 pounds max. Hammond buys a 924 for 7.500, May buys a 944 for 9.500 and Clarkson gets a 928 for 15.000.

    After some tests they came to a conclusion that buying old porsches was not a good idea :icon_bigg
