how about a used RX-7 or 300Z? you might be able to get a supra TT or a 3000 GT for 20G.

 

Apparently no one bothered to care that you have a cap and want something new.

Go to edmunds.com and pick the cars in your price range, decide what you like of what is out there, narrow it down and then ask for opinions and you'll have better luck getting a real answer.

 

Exactly

My suggestion will be....crap, I can't think of anything that's not FWD in this price range for new

 

How about Mini.... it's really fun to drive..

 

A4
Matrix
Golf
Passat
Galant
Corolla
Mirage
Lancer
etc

 

Isn't the ralliart lancer going to come in at about $19k? There you get awd and decent power. Might be worth waiting for.

 

you can buy my wrx for 19,500 its a 2003 with 6500 miles on it....im getting rid of it to buy an evo....yes im conforming

 

That right there is you best bang for the buck.
6500 miles is nice and low, as good as new.
