Well, I'll be moving out REAL soon, and I'll be needing a car of my own. I know that I could afford a WRX, but in all reality I can't own that car. I'd modify it, and soon enough it wouldn't be a reliable daily driver anymore. So my basic requirments are:
manual, reliable, cheap.
This is probably suicide on the boards, but I'm considering a Civic, Focus, and *gasp* Saturn. They aren't status worthy cars, but a reliable daily driver while I'm in school.
I'm leaning towards Civic, but next in line is the Focus.
Main goal is reliablity.

Well the saturn isn't a bad mix of performance and reliablity, if you get the twin cam'r and a 5-speed it'll have some balls to it, not gonna kick a mustang's a$$ but good for a little 4 banger. I like the focus a lot but they seem to have some problems with them staying together. I don't like honda, period

New Sentra SE-R or V-spec. Test drove one with my Fiancee' (will be her car) and it was a nice car. Fully loaded under $20K.

I can hook you up with Chrysler Friends & Family discount if you want, Andy. Maybe a Neon SRT-4 or Stratus RT? PM if interested.

Hmm...well...
I'm looking to spend between 12 and 14. After this summer, I could probably put down around $8,000, a decent downpayment? I was thinkin of a SVTF or maybe that SRT. But, it's gonna be the same case as the WRX...
