Next car

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a new car to buy. I previously owned a 3000GT VR-4, a great car in my opinion, which was recently totaled because somebody ran into me. I do want a fast car, something which my last car definitely was. I do live up north, so I kind of want an AWD car as well. My budget is around $14,500. I've been looking at 2002 WRXs and 2000 S4s and stuff like that. The S4 is really nice but it's hard to find one for this price with low miles. I also want a reliable car; the VR-4 did have some problems, I think it may have been burning oil and the ABS wasn't working. I know that if I get a newer car it will more likely be more reliable. I really like how fast and relatively cheap the SRT-4s are, but I don't like how they look and they are FWD. A4s are also nice imo, but they seem to be really slow. Does anyone know any other possible cars which fit these criteria, or which of these cars are better than others? Thanks.

Any suggestions? Sorry, I know these are kinda tough criteria to meet. Thanks.
