one of my friends is looking at getting a new car. He doesent want a race car so sorry no RX-7's Supra's or Skylines . We live in Western PA so he wants somthing that is good all year round yet still has some power. I wanted him to get a WRX but they seem to be out of his price range. He has 11-13 grand to spend. What do you guy's think would be good performance and good in all weather conditions? Thnaks for the help.

base model 4wd matrix....



Elantra GT from hyundai (it will fool you) great car, looks like a saab, 10 year warranty, 3/4 of my family drives them and they are great cars.



If he can find a celica all-trac turbo that would be nice

 

should be able to find an Audi A4 for that

Uh... an Acura??

 

uhmm talon AWD or eclipsa AWD 1st gen are really cheap with same powerplant as the second gens with few modifications



i own a 1st gen eclipse and other then the clutch and exhaust i haven't had any problems over the past 2 years that i've had it???





any comments on that?

 

Nissan Sentra SE-R...I drove a 2003 and that car was damn amazing....I'd assume you could get a late 90s model for that kind of money, and it'd be nearly as good.

 

i drove one of those mazda 6's they are nice. handle great. ride nice. i like a 9 in my book the only car that gets a 10 in my book is a rx7

 

I was thinking the same thing, but they are like 16k new, I think.

 

subaru svx

 

You may be able to find a WRX for $14K if you're lucky.. That would be my choice. If not, I say get a 2nd gen. Oh yea, the weather conditions.. humm..

Yea, I keep seeing these in the autotrader mags. What's so great about them?
