ets say the budget is low 20's max. Less would be nice. New or used doesn't
matter all that much, but it has to be a daily driver in the snow belt. Has
to have a manual tranny and has to be suitable for occasional family hauling
so 4 doors required. (And I did so want a MINI Cooper S.) Small is good.
I'm partial to rear or all-wheel drive but open-minded.
I'm thinking:
New WRX (current front runner)
95-98 E36 3-Series (I could keep my extra wheels)
New Protigi 5
98-2000 A4 Quattro
2nd place; Subaru 2.5RS----They also come with 4 doors, don't they? More
torque than WRX; might be better in the snow.
Foci are having LOTS of quality/recall problems. Nice car but I wouldn't buy
one.
