I'm currently sick at home and coughing a lung up, so lets do a Craigslist Challenge!

Today, we're going to be finding the best FWD car. The requirements are as follows:

Must be FWD

Must be street legal

Must be a car

Must be on Craigslist, Autotrader, Ebay

I'm starting off with these two. This one is a very very clean and nicely modified Honda Del Sol with around 250 HP. The only thing I'd do is remove the carbon fiber hood.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The other is this SEMA Hyundai Velositer. I like the color more than I should, but it's a pretty good car and a good deal for something with very low miles.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

So what can you find?

Hyundai Veloster with upgraded exhaust and intake for how much?

OH WUT $25,000 SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

CP. All day.

EDIT: I do realize that we are not supposed to factor asking price in our commentary, but I'm going to anyway. Because this is crazy pants.

I rode in Ferrero1911's a few days ago. The sound is glorious. It gurgles and pops and bangs and it's awesome.

Mechanical four wheel steering, lowest hood of any production car, set records for all the magazines slalom tests when it came out. Unless you've driven one you have no idea how awesome the system was...controlled rotation that was just unworldly.

Yo, I'm real happy and I'mma let you finish but the Fiesat ST is one of the best-handling FWD cars I've ever driven!

Considering a Velositer Turbo with tech package is $26,500 new, plus tax and license and all that stuff, that's a pretty good deal for a practically new car. Plus it has some mods that you could sell to make back some more money.

I want one. Like, really badly. I had a 500C as a rental for about a week, and even that was a lot of fun.

Why are used cars so expensive on your side?

$9,500 = £5860

Kinja'd!!!

Do you guys not pay tax on cars or something?

Not as much as you do. And these are two really expensive examples. Most Del Sols go for around $3000, but this one is really nice.

Hmm... $3,000 dollars is still quite a bit but then again maybe UK Del Sols prices are being driven down by the plentiful amount of cheap Civics.

They sticker for that, but you can find them pretty easily new in the low 20's.
