If you want good cheap imports hondas pretty good. Ford probes also are comparable with civics as are nissan 240s. I believe the 240 is more customizable with aftermarket support then honda then ford. 240s are really neat in the fact they are rear wheel drive and can have a small block v8 put in them with out much modification. But there are many many options as far as cars or even good trucks in that price range.

Honda/Acura anything. They're reliable when you do normal maintenance, and if you get the right model and year, you can also have a fast car.

Parts are also pretty cheap. But for the love of god, DON'T put a body kit on it. Keep the sleeper look.

I'm 6' 1" and I can fit inside the Acura Integra, and Honda Civic Si (2006 - Recent) pretty well. So if you're shorter than me, I don't see why you wouldn't fit, unless you're morbidly obese or something. Which I doubt since you play paintball...

Stop worrying about how you look, and start worrying about how you play. Get out on the field and play paintball the best you can, not stand at home in front of a mirror trying to figure out if your jersey matches your eyes.

I don't give a shit about the forums.

"The reason why i love paintball is simple when I'm on the paintball field and whooping ass anyone who said I can't do it, I'm to weak to do it, or that I suck at everything I do. Well when I'm on the paintball field all those people those who said, I couldn't well i can walk right up to them and say "Guess what mother fucker I DID IT!" and all those people i realize are the weak ones the one that can't do it."- AJ619

Subaru 2.5rs.

Its very practical, Even the 2 door has rear seats that can fit people. Also has a nice trunk. 4 wheel drive for winter is great as well. Also great fun to drive with a fair amount of aftermarket support.

Plus i think they look pretty good, even stock

^^^^^^ not sure if seriouse or trolling?

Also in the 4k range you could get a good camero such as the iroc or z28 just be prepaired to avoid the high output 305s. Mazda rx7 are in that price range aswell which are pretty cool with the rotory motor, good on gas and a very high rpm engine. Comes turboed and pretty dependable. Also they are rwd.

Well each to their own redcobra but that's kinda like buying the paintball marker befor the hopper and air tank. Bauzer honestly being that tall id say buy a truck like a diesel. Great milage, easy to work on, tons of power, and way more room. By great milage i m talkin 18 to 20+. Even 4wd trucks pluse they last 300,000 miles and up if maintained.

Although my buddy is 6 3 and he has a mitsubishi eclips and he fits in that but no one can sit behind him. The down side mitsu uses dodge/chrysler parts which are not very good so they require more work.

I'm extremely biased but go with a subaru. They don't die and they are good on snow and dirt roads with mud. I use to have a 96 legacy with 350,000 miles on it till I sold it for a security deposit for a new place to live. The only problem it had was the 420 code (O2 sensor that never clears but everything is actually working fine). It started up everyday for work on the base of mount Washington everyday for work and it brought me up the side of a mountain for work everyday as well.
