im thinking of getting a SE but want to now if it is a good car to get. Can i do major upgrades as far as performance in a automatic? thanks

A couple things here...

1. a new car is NEVER an investment it is a depreciating asset

2. what do you consider a 'good car'? Base performance? Style? Resale? Comfort? etc, etc, etc

3. SEARCH will set you free

Is it a good investment? In short no.

Do you want a great car? '03 max! Find a new '02 for less.

Completely agree with the investment advice although clearly the person wants to know if 03 Max's are good cars to mod. Given the limited availability of aftermarket performance parts I would say no. You are better off with an 00 or 01 where a turbo or s/c is available.

I would say the 03 is a great car out of the box. But I wouldn't go into one wanting to mod it because there is really nothing available. Plus it is FWD.

IMO, get a used 00 or 01 with low miles and is just out of factory warranty. What's the point of modding a car and have to go through hoops getting it back to stock for a factory claim?
