Default I'm teh noob

What up? I just thought I'd say howdy and that I'll probably be browsing the boards here for awhile. I've been a member of a few other car clubs so I'm not a total noob to how this whole thing works. Anyways currently I drive a 1997 dodge avenger, indy red w hid projectors, lowered, wheels and some interior mods. I'm getting tired of the whole ****ty gas hogging V6 automatic in it so I've been considering getting a 318ti after I saw one in the campus parking lot. I've yet to drive one though... so while I wait to find one you all can feel free to convince me Talk to ya all soon!

Welcome to the site.

Hmm i can't convince you to buy one,all i can say is drive one and that should speak for itself. It's not nearly as quick as your dodge but it is a great little car and is fun to drive.

yeah about that. it's quicker than my dodge. my car makes about 125 whp, fwd, 3100lbs. nope. it's definately quicker lol. but yeah mostly I just want the fun factor. I'm tired of an automatic and the venge is pretty much a boat.

btw I'm from saginaw michigan

Get rid of your Dodge and go for German -- better engineering and handling.
Go for a manual shift too.

If you can get a 318ti with the sports package; the handling is awesome!
