Alright, I'll just get right to the point. I'm young, and I need/want a car. After working a couple years, my parents agreed to match up the money I've made from working. This, and money from my relatives adds up to around $13000.
I'm not getting an Evo, due to expenses, and the fact that I don't want to crash the Evo as my first car. However, using bad logic, I'll just say that because I love the Evo, and others here do, that there will be similar tastes.
I need an all-wheel drive, manual transmission sedan. I think I'm going to go for an Asian car, but a German car would do fine if I can't seem to find an Asian car I'd want.
I've been hearing to get a Jetta, A4 or a Civic. But ... I'd like a broader range than that. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I realize there are multiple people asking a similar question, I'm just trying to narrow it down for myself.

BTW: Awesome site.

 

Damn when did Asia start making cars??? damn time flys by.

 

That's ... not funny

 

You might want to consider a 2007 WRX. It's a really nice car for the price. for about 1500 dollars you can make this sucker pretty fast.

 

yea the WRX would be a good car... also the civic and jetta donte AWD.... the a4 is also a good choice... you can mod it up a bit... depends on what you want... speed or first car... or both haha... but even though i love my evo... the WRX would be a great choice... evo skillz is right.. just put in like an extra 1800 dollars... and it might pull... or just do what i did... wait for a while longer and get the money right and buy a EVO
