The car i really want is a WRX. With what i got right now, i can probably afford one that's around 02-03. But to me, the bug eye is a huge turn off. Everything about WRX is perfect to me except that. The great power...the AWD...the superb handling just makes me drool. I really want the newer WRX..but i can't afford it yet. My parents will let me pick a car of my choice for college, with the budget around 14-15k. I may be able to find a WRX that i like with that money but i want to consider some other options if i cant. I came up with the following:
99-00 Civic SI
i know..i know..why should this car even be in here? with only 160hp stock and FWD, it is rather weak. But i thought maybe this would be a great first manual transmission car for me. Maybe i can consider the 2.5RS, but that will be no fun because that's like owning a mini-WRX already...I dont know much about this gen's SI, how is the handling of this car?
GSX
The GSX is AWD, pretty powerful but i just dont like the way it looks...
RWD CARS:
240sx/300zx
cant find a relatively new ones, they are all pretty old and beat up already. Plus if their safety ratings arent that well and my insurance will skyrocket.
Well these are my opinions. What do you guys think?

a 160hp honda is nasty. hondas are alot of fun cuz they are so rev happy and reliable (except for fwd understeer that kinda sucks). gsx (fuck a gst cuz fwd)has a 4g63(same as evo) those motors are bullit proof and fast. ive seen videos of an old rs vs a 98 integra type r on a circuit and the rs ate it up cuz awd vs shitty understeering fwd... if i was you i would look for a 240sx cuz drifting is so fun and u cant drift awd or fwd
