Thinkin about getting a new daily

Any suggestions for a relatively quick and good looking reliable cheap car probably not rwd? I love everything about my Eclipse GSX (good looking, good gas mileage, quick, loaded) other than multiple breaking things every week. I would most definitely keep it if I was a mechanic, but I'm not. I know a guy that does work in his garage (specifically on dsms) and that's the only reason I've been able to afford keeping it thus far, but there comes a point not having the car around to drive so many times and replacing things all the time gets old. My budget would be what I sell my Eclipse GSX for.

no for reals...thats kinda what to expect from a beater car. they need repairs. thats why theyre called beaters. what do you expect for your GSX? i would guess 6,000. so then get a V6 fbody. my red one had no problems.

Well, you say quick... thats hard to say.

But if I were to get a DD i'd most definately get a Honda. Probally a 95 or so Accord. Hell I could drop the motor and rebuild it in a few hours, they are so easy to work on its ridiculous, not to mention they live forever.
