What New Car?

Hey everybody!
In a few months i will be looking to purchase a new car. I would love to own an evo but with my driving record my insurance would be through the roof. So what cars would you guys recomend? So a little bit about myself...First off im 20 years old and a full time college student... I wouldn't want to pay over $25,000 for the car. And the car doesnt need to be "fast" but i would like something quick, somewhere about 6 sec and under for the 0-60. I've been looking at the Chevy Cobalt SS supercharged and the SRT-4 and possibly a wrx impreza. However, I am a fairly big guy 6'4 around 200lbs so im not even sure if i would fit in any of those cars comfortably. But i do want a manual transmission and like i said would like some power and the car would probably be modded eventually. So what do you guys think?

Hey there Unforgiv3n, I know you said you couldn't afford and Evo right now and I don't know if that is b/c of your driving record or b/c of that and the cost of the car loan. I just wanted to let you know though that I have an '03 TB Evo that's for sale right now that's in your price range. let me know if your interested. Either e-mail me at woodsworth01@yahoo.com or PM me on here if you have any questions or comments.

Do they still have brand new SRT-4s left? I thought the car was discontinued in '05?

For the price, I'd take a hard look at the WRX. AWD > FWD, and it's a pretty fast car. Faster than most cars in that price range I think.
