SpecV, GT, EX, or 2.5rs

hi guys im new here. i'm gonna buy a car in a couple of months(need to save up for Down payment) and i need a lot of feedback on which is the better buy for me. my budget is around 20g's and so far i'm lookin at the:

2002 Sentra SE-R Spec V
2002 Celica GT
2002 Civic EX
2001 2dr Subaru 2.5RS

i live in a city of riceburners (the san fernando valley) and spend the weekends on the freeway. please give some pros and cons or just tell me which is best. THANKS:)

take the civic EX out of there. t hats not even a performance car. the EX is a crap box econo car. the se-r spec V is a Si and SVT fighter. the celica GT is not as good as the GT-S sooo the SE-R spec V can beat that as well. sooo that pretty much leads to the 2.5 RS and the SE-R.

dang i hoped for more responses than one. ah well thanks for the help TatII. these i will consider;)

Spec V

175HP w/175TQ; 6 spd manual; LSD for about $17-18K...that's a nice package.

Impreza 2.5 RS

I dont know if they still made a 2dr Impreza 2.5RS in 2001...but those have nice modifiability...some cool turbo kits out there for them.

My choice...depends on if you are going to modifiy the car at all...if we are looking NA wise...go w/the Sentra SE-R Spec V....but if you have the money and want to go turbo...go w/the Impreza 2.5 RS...it has been around longer and has more aftermarket support.

KEEP IT SLIDEWAYS!!!

the 2001 2.5 RS looks like the last generation WRX's. sooo they come in either coupe or sedan. they look mean as hell. but too bad in stock form it cna't back up that mean look with its performance. however it does have AWD. soo that makes up for it.
