What car fits this mold?

A buddy of mine is looking for suggestions for his next car:

Budget $12-23,000 (depending on year and mileage of course)

-It needs to be reliable and reasonable in regard to maintenance and repair
(This means don't suggest a B5 S4)

-It needs to have a solid bang for buck performance ratio

-It needs to seat 5 and have space to put stuff (doesn't mean hatch, just a good sized trunk and what not

-It needs to be all season capable (Not, oh just throw 500lbs of sand in the back and have chains on the tires and drive 2mph and you'lle be fine)

If he can find a stock or close to stock evo

Or, if he can find a used '09 wrx (or wait it out till he can find a used one) By the looks of it '08 was a flop but they redeemed themselves in '09. Great bang for the buck IMO

or '07-'08ish charger r/t awd 340hp

STI or Evo.

Pass on the WRX, it's inferior in everyway compared to the STI. It has weaker powertrain, suspensions, brakes, interior/exterior, bushings, dash, wheels and tires, and a whole list of other things. It's not like buying a RS evo, where the powertrain is the same.
