looking for a for door sedan or even a 5 door. Needs to be awd, my main priority is speed (0-60) and reliablilty. price range under 10,000. All suggestions are greatly appreciated. And I can do simple and cheap modifactions to improve performance.

your best bet would probably be an 02-03 wrx. they should be about 10k. easy to mod. turboback + engine management will yield good power gains. 0-60 times stock are like high 5s maybe low 6s
