Good news and bad news. Bad news is I will soon no longer be owning my Focus. The good news is it will be staying in my driveway. I'm giving my Focus to my dad. He drives a big POS 92 Plymouth Sundance. It's a great reliable car that has never given us any problems, it's just a heap and he wants something nicer. So I offered him my car, which is perfect. He drives ALL HIGHWAY to get to work. Anyways, on to myself. This leaves me open to get a new car. I'm looking at spending no more than $20,000. Some cars I am considering so far are:
Mini Cooper S
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII
Subaru Imprezza WRX STi
Honda S2000
BMW X5
BMW M3
Scion tC
Ford Focus SVT
Mazdaspeed 3
Ford Mustang GT

Things I have to consider are: This car will be daily driven in all kinds of weather. It must be reliable, and must be a manual transmission. I'm looking for a good blend of practicality and sport. Something I wont get bored of in a year.

Currently in the lead is the Evo8. I found a really nice blue on down in FL that is simply amazing looking.

But I want FocalJet's opinion. What would you guys get and why? Or what would you suggest? The majority of the cars listed will be used, but I'm also open to new cars like the Scion tC.
