what kind of car should i get??
ok well here's the story. my parents promised to pay for any car i wanted under 25k if i get into this honor society thing before i graduate from highschool. well i got in and i really have no idea what car i should get. the only this is they dont want me to get a 2-door car. so if anyone has any suggestions please tell me!
and i dont wanna hear anyone say the whole thing abt me being a spoiled lil kid. the past year and half ive been drivin a 93 corolla with no air condition, and i live in texas. can u imagine how hot it is in my car when i get in it durin the summer??

WRX is 4 doors.
Can you get a used car? You could probably get a car that would be 30-35k new for under 25k used.
Just an option.

Rep Power: 328 Let me ask the intelligent question that no one else seems to: What do you enjoy doing in your car? What do you want it to do? Be fast? Luxurious? Do you want to go 4wheeling with it?
For luxury, go with a TSX or a slightly used, lower end BMW, Mercedes or Lexus. You want fast? A used 2000 or so Camaro SS will fly, and cost about 20k. New, but not nearly as quick is an SRT-4, WRX, or RSX-S.
Totally different image that somewhat fulfuls both? Go with a Dodge Magnum, or Chrysler 300M.
You like 4wheeling or SUVs? Get a Jeep Liberty or Wrangler Sahara.

Rep Power: 0 ok, just some clarifications..
you are in the states right? i suppose you are talking about 25k USD...
you could do quite a lot with that...
for 28k, you could get an EVO...
or go with a WRX...the new Legacy is great as well....

Ok man there are people who dont even own cars and ride busses to college like my dad did until he was 28. It can be worse than that too BUT this guy is sayiing that he doesnt care if u flame him about it and what he really is sayin that he is humble about getting a new car. Not like some kid who gets a car and returns it for the color or some crap. There

OK, sorry to write non-sense. Umm.... 25K, new, 4 door, a lot of the sporty sedans are bit more than $25K. Mazda 3 or maybe Corolla XRS would be my choice.

Whats your style big 4 door or small 4 door
luxury or fast and sporty.
Show or go
put 23,000 down and go get the sti wrx,
right now there ain't no car stock thats stopping it under 30,000 $
in quarter mile it reads 13.3
bmw m3 reads 13.2
all the facts you need right there.
get a job and pay for the rest.
You won't abuse it as much being that you are still paying for it.
