What's your daily driver?

I drive a 1993 Geo Prizm. It has a 108hp 1.6 dohc 4 banger. It atleast has a 5 speed despite the crappy clutch. It has alot of valve clatter, looks like crap, doesn't help me get laid, but it has ice cold a/c and gets 35mpg, what else could you want? I used to drive a 1987 iroc-z camaro, but I sold it to one of my friends. And while my 240 is down for the summer/fall until i can complete the rb20 swap, i'm stuck driving this go-kart.

Oh, did I mention it has an 11:1 4A-FE, forged internals, ported head, 4-2-1 header, downpipe, 2.5in catback, cold air intake? LOL, yes a geo prizm will own your stock 240.

I daily'd the s12 for about a year and finally, finally it died on me. It seems like a pretty simple fix such as the fuel filter or whatever it may be, but it's perfect timing since the KA is going in this month. Here she is

so that prizm has a toyota corola engine right? i doubt it would own a stock 240, but if you insist i'll take your word for it.

i drive an '89 240, a 2000 vw jetta and am looking to buy a '96-98' maxima or altima. nissan ftw

my wife drove a stock 95 corolla with the same engine(i think) and yeah, i doubt it would own a stock 240. hell i was scared to even merge into heavy traffic in that car with the lack of power.

My 240SX is my daily driver. That said, I work from home, so I don't necessarily drive daily

I currently daily drive a 2001 Chevy Cavalier, red. If I get this job I'm going for an interview for today, I'll buy myself something else, I don't know what, I was thinking RX7 for a little while, but the Stig needs something that keeps his image . . . .sooooo . . . it'll probably be European.

I drive for a living, so my daily driver needs to be reliable. I have a 97 mazda protege with a 1.5 liter. It's pretty boring, but it never fails, and you cant argue with 42 mpg either. The only thing that has gone wrong was the radiator dying at around 100k.

A friend of mine had a earlier model prizm(the square body style) with a 4A. He put springs, struts and Azenis on it and decimated some people you wouldn't think that he would have at autocross. Never pre-judge a book by it's cover.

Oh yeah, my 240SX is my daily driver. I don't go out much so it's pretty much down the street to work and back.
