At 250-300k, newest Corolla or Civic you can buy are late 90's models. The VTi is probably the best choice amongst these. The Lynx Ghia is the most loaded and latest model in your price range, with good crash protection, safety equipment and, as said, nice handling. Only downside is certain electronic niggles (not any worse than Nissan or Mitsu) and somewhat poor fuel economy with an auto tranny.

but he wants manual, so i guess fuel eco is not an issue. i still prefer the Lynx.

ei, at 300k you can get a good looking Nissan Sentra GTS...

of all the Sentras it seems to be the one who best retains its value... upto now im seeing it in the 300k mark.... Exaltas have already depreciated to that price range as i observed but obviously they are newer.
