You really think that Nickstam?

MaXtUneD it's a very nice car - fairly reliable, comfortable, and can even be very nicely equipped. However it is going to lack the power you'd see in even a 3rd Gen Maxima. If you have the money I say get a '92-'94 SE 5spd, you will love it. I am considering trading mine in for one of those.

hmm after a few seconds of Edmunds reserach, I found out it's an Inline 5. I've never heard of that before. I would stay with even cyliners

Yeah I've always though that 1 cylinder just throws everything off.

Vyrus: your car is too pretty to trade in, but at least you made a good choice.

There are a few brands that offer 5 cyl engines, the ones I know for sure are

Volvo
Acura
Volkswagen(diesel engines)
Mercedes(diesel engines)

alot of european brands use it as well

Not a bad design, but it's commonly said that one extra cylinder will unbalance the engine, but if you look at the cars listed above, they are not cars with horrible maintenance, except maybe Mercedes, I've had one, nice cars, but horrible maintenance, especially after a few years.

I've read around that you can make a custom turbo for a vigor and its easy due to alot of space in the hood...
