Well I converted

You should def. look into a 2003 Evolution or the subaru WRX,They have come down some in price and at least then you can rock the AWD and keep the turbo! :D

Toyota rocks, allan is retarded. I love my corolla.
Yeah, listen to these guys there is so much out there for that price range, def. get out and drive some other cars before making your decision.

well I drove a 2007 Subaru WRX wagon :D that was fun, 22k retail if I were to go with an 06 model. that is gettin up there in price, but Boost and AWD makes me happy :P
I guess I'll keep trying until I decide

Search the lots for a brand new leftover '06. Chances are you can get it cheaper than they are going for used, plus you'll get the full warranty and a lower loan rate.

Use www.edmunds.com to get quotes from all nearby dealerships; its the best way to start shopping for a new car IMO because then you can pit them against each other and really bargain them down in price.

side note on the Subaru thing. I've heard they are not as reliable as the steadfast Toyota or Honduh. and that they aquire some odd problems later in life

[Kracka]

They are not as reliable or as well built as Hondas or Toyotas, they are cheaper for comparable models. If you buy new or practically new with a warranty though I see no reason to worry. Subaru's seem to hold their value pretty well.

Get out and test drive a mazdaspeed 6! ;)

This is the best idea yet, I have seen them going for $22-24k brand new.

Fuck Toyota? Please tell me you're not serious... First of all do you know who makes Mazda's? If you want a long lasting cool looking car go with the TC.

Go out and drive a MazdaSpeed 6 is you are buying a new car and still want some boost. The Sports can be had cheap and they have all the comforts you will want, with the fun factor. PM me if you more info. Fuck toyota! :D

Mazda makes Mazda's in a joint venture. If you are looking at a Tc, I would look into a Spec V too. I do agree on the Speed6 though, it is a great bang for the buck.
