Looking for a good, fast, reliable, used car under 8k?

Get a civic. Most reliable cars on the road(IMO). Also make sure to get either a B16 engine or a B20 with a B16 head. Honestly Honda's are the biggest "bang" for your buck. There are many after market parts for them, and they look a hell of a lot better than a stealth or crown v.. Im not talking riced out trash though. If you want a goof, fast reliable car go Honda they are light, cheap to fix, easy to maintain and will run you well over 200,000 miles.
