My suggestion is a B5 A4 with the 1.8t motor. AWD for the winter and you can modify them to be decently quick for the fun aspect. Plus you cant beat the interior. ---

I know they are 165hp at the crank stock, which is probably 120-130awhp, if that thing only makes 160-180 wheel horse with a BUILT motor that would suck, but what would you want from NA 4cyl AWD. I wouldn’t pay over $6500 at the most for that. Unless he has receipts or you know what a stock one feels like ALOT of people claim built motors when they don’t have one. Don’t pay $7900 for a $5000 car, especially when it has a SLOW built motor. 02 WRX’s with 90k are in that price range!!!

I want to choke you for saying “funner” and for thinking that a reliable daily driveable example of any of those can be had for $8k or less with less than 80k miles, except maaaaybe for the cobra. But for a DD he’d be better off getting a new cleaner non-cobra GT for the money.
