The turbo adventure?

HI guys,

to go turbo or not? I'm 19 years old and just wonderin how expensive these
turbos can be? like insurance wise and fuel wise? Am i better of getting a
non turbo? to avoid these problems? also which si better to have? the 4 door
or the 2 door? mainly to do with getting spare parts?
Any info would be appreciated?

Turbo will give you the economy of a small engine when you are gently
cruising. I get about 32 to 33 mpgUS at a steady 75mph as long as I do
not try to suddenly accelerate or push up hill (if I slow a little ok.
but I can maintain a 75 mph cruising speed with a 2.3l 4.

But when I want power it is there and plenty of it.That's where the
turbo advantage is.

On two door vs. four. four doors have retained their value and are
easier to re-sell for as long as I can remember.

My first car was a prewar (in Canada ) 1939 Cadillac convertible . Now
that baby could consume gas!
