i challange anyone to have a better beater then mine because i have the ultimate beater! A beautiful 1982 1.3L carburated civic hatchback! I paid $150 for it and it runs great and i get almost 40mpg. it is also fully loaded including no radio, no window rollers(vice grips are used instead,ha), missing lock cylinder on passenger side door, and a broken one on the drivers side, missing hatch lock(yea so every time i hit a bump my hatch flys up a bit and makes a loud bang), no AC, broken hydralic lifters for the hatch, and to top it off includes a 4 speed manual transmission. yea and the only lock that does work on the car with the key is the one on the gas door, so i dont have to worry about anyone stealing my gas! well if anyone has a better beater then mine id like to know about it. but in all seriousness, every day getting in that POS and driving it all day knowing that i have a FD back at my garage that i cant drive right now really is depressing

After 8 years of Daily Driving my FD, I finally bought a Daily Beater: 1991 Integra AT I must admit that I like 20+MPG and the cushy suspension.
I also have a 91 CBR 600 F2

1993 super awesome stock color green 5sp SL2 Saturn DOHC with neon light under my driver seat (my parents gave it to me for a stocking stuffer, and just felt bad if i didn't use it somewhere). I get about 27-30 mpg, has been really reliable, never had any major problems with it, since our family bought way back in 1994.

Yeah, I have a slushbox white '94 SL-2 bought new in Feb '94. Great daily driver. Reliable transportation and cheap to maintain. 30 mpg on low grade unleaded gas :bigthumb:

PhoenixDownVII 08-10-04 10:41 AM

My DD is a 92 Integra LS with Leather and all power options. I get 29-34mpg.

I am trying to justify having a 2nd 2-seater and get a MKI Mr2 NA (35mpg!). However, RWD 2 seater as a DD and winter car as backup to a...turbocharged RWD 2 seater...doesn't seem to add up ;)

1992 Mazda Miata

I'm surprised almost no FD guys have Miatas. If you live in a place with good weather, don't need to haul a lot of stuff around and are confident in your masculinity you can't have more fun on the street than with a Miata. I'd sell my FD first.

MichaelFregoe 08-12-04 06:19 AM

Beater.... Anything made in the USA (common domesitic) or that has a 1950's piece reciprocating of "technology" that has 8 cylinders configured in a V pattern that would be more suited for a boat anchor.

I seriously thought about buying a $2500 Miata as a DD. But it was not practical to buy yet another car with NO cargo space and not be able to get me to Tahoe for the Snowboarding season. As luck would have it, my GF bought a 2004 G35 AWD and sold me her old 91 Integra w/ 92k miles for $2500. She has never had a problem with and probably never drove faster than 75 mph::rolleyes:

after having it for about 2 months now and no problems, yesterday it had its first. i was on I-95 North and i lost half my exhaust. from the cat back there is nothing. DAMN now i actually have to put some money into it. im gonna leave the whole piece that broke off in my car until i get pulled over for not having a muffler on there so i can tell the cop that it just broke off a hour ago, then ill get it fixed
