I have been thinking and thinking… Here are my requirements and wants Must be: Import Not outragous to fix when it has issues year 2000 or newer $15,000 or less reliable Would like(not required): AWD ok gas milage 5 or 6 speed There was more that I can’t think of. I was thinking of spending a lil more and going with an 04 STI, but I would have to wait longer than I want to get it. I saw an audi that looked nice, but they have some real strange problems that I wouldn’t want to deal with. ---

Used EVO’s will be dipping down into the $15K range (thanks to age and mileage)once the IX start getting delivered. Already seen a few on Ebay private party. OTher than that, I would look for the Audi A4 1.8Ts, the 2002 can be had for about that price too now. Very plush (for the $$$) and reliable, full leather, good gas mileage, really nice. ---

> [@Rx3](#): > > I must have skimmed over that “not required” stuff. > > I don’t think Alex will be getting a Kia anytime soon though 😛 Lol, I know I wouldn’t buy another one. A Rio is damn light though. Throw a nice motor in there with 250-300 horse… you’ll beat most things out there. Could be ultra :snky:. Evo’s and STI’s would probably be more in that market that he’s looking for though. ---

I’ve always wanted an STI for some reason. Can’t afford one though… someday… but by then I’ll want bigger and better things. ---

I’d go with Scion TC. They start at around 15k new so you should be able to find one in your price range with some options. ---

a used evo seems to be the best deal out there right now. used srt-4’s are pretty cheap too. you can get one of those, and still have a couple bux left over for a motegi system exhaust. 🙂 ---

hahaha… The only thing keeping me from jumping all over a wrx is the glass tranny they threw in there. I might go drive one and see how I like it. I only drove an auto wrx wagon and that sucked balls. edit: I did drive an STI which was great 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/car-suggestion/3664.md?page=2)
