Are you looking for new or used?

What about the 2 door Hyundai Genesis. I hear people say, "It's just a RWD Tiburon."

So? I think they look great and even the less powerful one would be more fun than a barrel of monkeys, imo.

I've mentioned it before, but the 2011 V6 Mustang with the Track Pack sounds like a great car to me. Cheaper than the GT, decent handling, 305hp and decently light for being big enough to carry four huuuuge American asses.

I've been a big fan of WRXs ever since I had one. And now their even better now that they have 260hp.

hahahaha wow!!! Well thank you everyone for your opinions!!!

As a College senior I decided on a cheap car to drive for a year or two, and then make the decision on what to get!!!

I love MINIs and I will definitely own another. But probably not before I get an RX-8!! lol.

The MINI's replacement was purchased yesterday. It is a 2001 BMW 325Ci. I LOOOOOVE it so far!!!

Thanks Guys (and gals!?)!!!

Not a bad choice! I've had two E46s (sedan & convertible) and they were both great cars. I hope its a manual and has the sport package...Those two options make ALL the difference in the world! Make sure you get the sub-frame inspected or at least find out that the previous owner did.

1. The RX-8 gets better gas mileage than any previous rotary, because there is no longer overlap in the ports. It still gets worse fuel economy than a similar output piston engine.

2. High octane fuel isn't required (you can use it), because this car doesn't have a turbo.

3. 'A lot of power' is very subjective, from the factory, the manual transmission version, and newer automatics, have 238 hp. Take that as a lot or a little based on your own frame of reference.
