With Driver’s Option (available in most states†) you choose how long you want the VW, pay your scheduled monthly payments, then you’ve got three options: • One: Pay off the balance of what the VW’s worth and keep it. • Two: Refinance the balance of the VW’s worth. That’s what I was referring to with the lease. I have been interested in used WRX’s whoever brought that up, I have heard nothing but good things about subaru’s… Oh and again, I’m certainly not looking to mod the shit out of something… ---

I cannot believe more people haven’t said it…WRX. Perfect for what you are looking for. Sporty but practical, for $1000 it makes way more reliable power and is perfect. Drive it year round without a care in the world. My wife drives a TSX. Its nice, but its a dog. She loves it, but there is no chance I would buy one for myself. ---

06-07 Subaru Impreza? 05-07 WRX? Either one of those with 50k or less should bring into your price range. ---

The WRX has been of quite high interest to me, as I said I don’t want to have to mod the shit out of it to be fun, and being that it already comes turbo, AWD, and very reliable it’s quite a candidate for this…I mean I’m coming from a 2.slow Jetta, it will be a lot more fun for sure… Anyone know how many miles WRX/other subaru’s can last with good maintenance? ---

What about a used 325i. Hell you could even find an older M3 in that range. ---
