Im planning on buying a new car and need some experts opinions. A white automatic gsx with 90,000 miles or a silver gs-t manual with 50,000 thousand miles. half of my friends say go for the gsx just because of the all wheel drive. But i think the gst would be better becuse of the low miles. what do you guys think. And is all wheel drive that big of a deal. there also both 1999.

this is on you man. the GST for responsibility wise and DD would be better. it will get better MPG and will last you longer. if you looking for a car to build up tune and possibly race you want the GSX. so its up to you and what you want out of it.

All good. I'd say it comes down to, which do you like to dirve better? For me, i was going to get a manual. Hands down. So, if you like manual... suck it up and deal with the FWD. Lucky for me, i got both manual and awd... :D

you'll have a hell of a time finding another turbo with that low of miles, 50,000 i'd say just get the FWD and if you really decide to build it later do the AWD conversion.

since your not replying i don't know how interested you are.

here's the bottom line.

Racing in your blood, get the GSX, building it up, GSX.

Nice fast more reliable car, GST, lasting you a while GST.

GST if your looking for a daily driver, GSX for a weekend warrior. It all depends on what you are wanting out of it.

that's why I went with auto. If you want to race it shifts quicker, plants more torque and is easier to launch.

Driving an automatic sports car should be illegal unless you are medically incapable of driving a manual. Period.
