Default What should my next car be?

I am a 17 year old High School Senior with 6-7k to spend on a car. I currently have a 1991 Celica GT auto with 95k miles. Should I keep this car till the wheels fall off, or buy a new one? I have looked at Integras, but too expensive....open to suggestions! Thanks


What I want in my new car:

Faster.
Handles Even Better.
More MPG
Manual (drive my dad's 1997 BMW 325 5sp more than I do my car)

I have heard that the Celicas get better MPG than the RSX and the older Integra's. But that just depends on the driver... I was looking for GSR's or maybe a VR6 Jetta. Who knows... I would like an S...maybe after college. Hey I'll be 18 at the end of the month, LOTTERY TIME

Keep your car. It's only reached it's half life. Save your money and, in time, who knows what will be out there. The auto industry is changing quickly every day.

look at a nissan 240 SX. They look great (IMO), plus they are RWD. They are pretty responsive to mods- if you're into that. Whatever you get though- pleeeease don't rice it out.
