Problem of dealing with shit and most first cars are exaclty that.

Careful of geminis they have serious problems of head cracking and the 5 speeder can cook in them but still their faster out of the box then a datsun.

Be careful of datsuns they just about always have blown head gaskets and are poorly looked after which means the run like shit but their an easy rebuild and go great with minor mods.

Cortinas are plenty of fun but they seriously need suspension mods they where never built to take anything bigger then the 4 they rarely come with

Centuras are great if you can find one if you find one I have but one suggestion buy it you get a little french car with a 265 hemi in it massive potential to go fast there and if driven sedatly the little car gets fine ecconmy.

Ford lasers are ok but bland but they dont have a gay stigma the charade has.Cordias are not too bad celicas are ok and i loved my gazelle too but a bit expensive to rego because of them being "sports cars" but nothing shocking just a bit rude. And never write off a good rwd magna,bluebird or what ever happy transplant vehicles there.

And never write off a good van either you dont need to go fast just get a big sound system and a fridge and thats a top way to travel same with a gold ol station wagon

Big car little car hardly any diffrence all providing you look after them and drive them sedatly.
