What car should I get
I'm looking at cars in the 2004+ range around $20k. I had my mind made up on an srt but now there isnt any at dealers around here so I started looking else where and the VW R32 caught my eye. Something about a 240hp V6 with a 6speed and AWD is intreguing so what do you guys think about the choices? Anyone have any other suggestions on cars?

Re: What car should I get
I LOVE the VW R32. One of my favorites. Not to mention its going to gain value if you keep low miles and in good condition. Have you seen the interior? great quality. i would go w/ the R32 most deffinately.

Re: What car should I get
r32 isn't legal in canada but I found this report on them. Pretty decent but I'd still take the evo or sti

Re: What car should I get
Evos and stis are more than I can afford unless anyone can find a cheap one in southern to middle minnesota. I forgot to mention the car has to be a daily driver in Minnesota

Re: What car should I get
I agree with the R32...those things are bad...I would take one....how much are you working with as far as price goes?

Re: What car should I get
Sorry but the r32 is not much of a manly car. What are you looking for in a car?
That is why I am selling my talon....time to hop into somthing a bit more mature....e46 coupe baby!

Re: What car should I get
Well I am kind of lookin for a 4 door but a roomy 2 door will work to. I want something with some good numbers from the factory because I cant afford to mod it right away. I'd really like to stay in the forced induction area espically turbod but there arent many options and I'm not willing to get a wrx unless its an STi but I cant afford one of those
 I have about $20k to play with and so far my top choices are a 05 SRT-4, 04 R32, 06 Cobalt SS Supercharged, and a 01-04 IS300. All of which would be manuals and for colors I like black and blue. the srt4 gets points for being 4 doors having probably the most power on the list having a good warentee and being the easiest to mod. the r32 gets rare points and awd and a 6 speed are awsome to. The cobalt is a fun car with a blower but still looks like a cavi in a way but is quick none the less. The IS300 gets rare points 4 doors and the best luxery on the list. So I'm probably just going to go drive all of them and see what I like the best

Re: What car should I get
VW for the gay. I most definately wouldnt get any VW reguardless of which one. If no SRT, I would say go S/C Cobalt, S2000, RX8, Evo, STi, Civic Si, or RSX.

Re: What car should I get
I cant do a 2 seater, evos and stis are out of my range I'm not a big fan of hondas and to be honest I dont really like rx-8s. I think right now I'm torn between a srt and an IS300

Re: What car should I get
I take that back, I wouldnt drive an Si either, but I think RSX's are pretty badass. I dont have a problem with IS 300's but I would take an SRT over it. I would just test drive both, see which one you like better and go with it. If you dont like one over the other, find the best deal between the two and pounce.
