In that case for under $30,000 as far as all around performance the EVO can't be beat. The 2005 EVO RS which is the light weight versions of the EVO comes minus all the creature comforts a person is used to, but it is around 200Lbs less than a regular EVO and it prices are going for $26,000 to $28,000. Although I have heard of some people picking them up brand new for under $26,000. The 2005 EVO GSR has all the creature comforts, and costs around $29,000 to $30,000. All 2005 EVOs have more power than previous EVOs and seem to be better cars than the previous 2004 and 2003 models.

Also another good choice for under $30,000 is the new Mustang GT. These cars seem to be more polished overall vehicles than the previous generation. Plus it has 300HP and killer looks.

Also the SRT-4 is an awesome bargain, this car is cheap to mod, but FWD has it's limits.
