Default Re: What car to buy for under $20,000?

That Evo is hot. What kind of mileage etc?

I'm with Z63R as well, you could get a REAL nice regular WRX for that kind of money.

I dunno Drew, the Evo or the rex definitely are the most all around useful imo. Great performance, strong aftermarket, fine for the daily drive, 4 doors for hauling people and AWD for when we get the freak snow storms we get every year.

I absolutely love Mustang's so that gets a bias vote. Strong aftermarket, they aren't omg terrible on gas with a manual trans, but they still aren't great. All depends on how you drive it. Might as well forget about it on those freak snow storm days, but that happens like a whole 2 days a year.

I pass on the BMWs. They're awesome, but maintence costs on them aren't.

S2000 is a drivers car but not very practical.

Mazdaspeed3 is great budget speed. I love these cars.

A Mini Cooper would be fun as hell, but would you have as much fun in it as you would one of the cars with raw power?

The Scion TC is nice but it's definitely the oddball on your list performance wise. Even with the 2.4l, if you drive one of those other cars the Scion will leave A LOT to be desired.

SVTF is old faithful as you said
