WRX TR, is a great bargain for a nice car. The only thing you will have to deal with is subarus glass 5 speed transmissions.

Actually, Mugen is joining up with Honda and building a limited edition Mugen-spec Civic Si Sedan. I think they had one in sema, and already comes modifed out of the factory with everything under warranty. Look into one of those if you have your heart set on an si sedan.

Insurance is high on the WRX. It's like #4 on the list of most expensive cars to insure.

My rates aren't horrible, but I'm older than you are and have great credit.

why does it have to be a brand new car? I started with a Honda Del Sol! I used it as my beater and learned to drive stick with that, snowmants is right, starting with an Evo is not a good idea. Save up your money and just take your time!

Hey man, some brand new cars aren't reliable anyway. Find a good used car and drive that baby until it falls apart then get you an Evo. By then you'll probably be finish with school. Only thing you have to worry about then is the Evo payments and paying off those student loans

Probably the most un-thought out response ever. Those FD rotary motors are garbage at best without sinking a ton fo money into them to make them reliable, they are always blow Apex seals....not to mention for a mid 90;s Rx-7 its like still a fortune. Ive seen ones in good condition go for 18k.

Liking a car because it shoots flames is a pretty lame thing.

the guy that i was checking out - It was converted to single turbo (gt40 if you're curious).. mint condition, engine rebuilt 500 miles ago
Total = 11,000$.. ?
I'm just saying it shoots flames - cool.. but the truth is more about the RAREness and the handling is just ... SICK!...
