Need help choosing a car

<< If the WRX weren't so damn ugly, it would be the perfect car. >>



Damn if that wasn't the truth... he mentioned preferring body styles... the WRX belongs nowhere in this thread BTW, if you want bang-for-the-buck, I'd do the Altima 3.5SE easy. Or maybe even the RSX Type-S. But given the list of cars you mention, I'd go for a used M3 or wait for the Z.

<< I doubt anyone who hawks the WRX has actually ever driven one, just regurgitating what they read in magazines. Comparing those tin cans to Audi's and BMW's is pretty misguided, imo. From the sound of your choices, you want a fast car with some practicality. The S4 would be your best choice, it has a twin turbo V6 with AWD so it isn't too slow, and the interior rocks. The BMW would be a good choice too, but options add a lot to the price so your better off with the S4.
Supra's are cool, but good luck finding one that hasn't been modified to hell. Get ready to pay out the ass for repair bills if you get one. The S2000 is a pretty awesome car but probably not that practical. I would just get the S4 to get you some kick-ass transportation, then you can save your money to move out of your parents house and get a place with a 2 car garage, so you can get a Lotus Elise or a TVR or something cool like that.

edit: oh yeah, make sure you get a manaul tranny with whatever car you choose, or the pussy police will pimp slap you >>



Couldn't have said it better myself. Although I don't really consider the WRX a "tin can," I agree 100% that it is not in the league of the forementioned cars. And yes, I have driven the WRX.
