The Nissan Maxima was a station wagon. It was a 6 cylinder engine that burned oil and gas like a big rig and had less power than my 2.5RS. The engine struggled to go up a hilly incline and had to shift from 3rd (highest gear) to 2nd in order to coax power out of it. When you go up a hill, it sounded like rocks were rattling inside of the engine.
At least your cars were newer models! haha

did you see the mercury sable entry?
newer doesn't equal better. it leaked coolant (and by leak, i mean poured out) so much that it would be empty after uhh.. 5 mins of driving around town. the burning coolant fumes would enter the cabin. the brakes were warped and it would make a bald spot (yes, one spot on the tire). plus i looked weird driving it.

wait, how am i bringing up bs points? using rubens criteria of '6 speed and hids' there arent very many choices. especially if its going to be under 33k which from my last conversation with ruben, that was his limit.
so with that said, 6 speed/hids/>33k leaves you with
1- civic coupe si
2- rsx type s
3- mini cooper s ( i didnt bring this up since ruben said that cars for biatches)
then we get this...

Ruben's crash was due to this
Laoba was due to plastic cam gears and distractions like this in his car
