I hope your joking. SRT's,Evo,WRX don't get into the Hype situation about this cars. If you really wan't an AWD that is bang for your buck get a used GSX or TSi (Talon).

I have driven my share of front wheel drives this week. All were under 30k
Of course the one I liked was the MS protege. It has a quite a drive and has awesome handling. Fun to drive and looks good.
Mazda6: I didn't like because it felt bulky. Didn't seem fast at all. And looked very boring on the inside. The clutch was terrible. But if you want a nice daily drive get an Automatic.
Acura RSX: I tried this car because of the things people have been saying about it.
Probably the most over rated car I have ever been it. They want way too much for it. I drove a Type-S and it wasn't that fast. When you redline it, it sounded like it was going to explode! Very loud car, boring interior.
Honda Accord Coupe. Fast car. Good gas mileage and had it were it counted. Looks good on the outside and drove very well. Only thing was it costs alot for a nicely equipped V6 model.
I drove a couple other cars but none of the others were worth mentioning

Huh... I'm glad to get an unbiased opinion about the Mazda 6s. Everyone rants and raves about them but I just couldn't see how they could be that quick of cars when it hauls around... well, that much car. I think the MS protege's look pretty sleek too. I'd buy one if I were in the market for new FWD cars.

Integra TR: but only the one that is yellow; the paint makes it look faster.
if people are recommending accords and tsxs, why not the maxima? it lays more HP to the ground. and i'm sure clever nissan engineers have fix0red the handling problems that plagued the other versions (pre-2000).
oh oh, and if (newer) hyundai tiburons are fwd (i have no idea) i'd go for that!!! those dual exhausts look mean! its powered by korea; we might be tiny people, but we can sure build a cheap, shitty car.
