Just wondering about this, as I've wanted one of these cars since I first started driving back in 2000. I'm now at that point in my life where I can afford one as a toy, specifically a 1998-2005 "NB" model, of course with the clutch pedal. Color and condition is more important than specific model type, options, etc. I'd take a base model over a loaded one if it were in nicer condition. About the only options I care about are the ones that affect the driving experience, like ABS brakes, limited slip diff, bigger wheels/tires, etc.
Anyways, why does this car get a bad rap about being an effiminet gay man's car???? The handling is simply sublime, I can't think of another car that drives this direct for any price IMO.
Plus if I were to buy a basic "NA" 1st gen model, I'd rather have one without power steering or a/c, crank windows, etc, just more basic and lighter.
Granted these cars aren't fast in a straight line stock, but that isn't the point, the sublime handling, the fact that you can actually push this car near its limit on a public road without going to jail or killing yourself is the main appeal IMO
