Which would you drive in college?

[staygold24]

All right guys so I recently got rid of my 2005 GTO and am looking to get rid of my older modified 240sx to get a new and exciting DD for college. Im looking for something semi practical, fun to drive and an all around fun car. I am torn though. I like a plethora of different vehicles and they all have their benefits and drawbacks. I like some coupes but you cant exactly throw too much into them when moving around. I also like some 4-doors as well, but they arent exactly good looking. Im working with around $22k and would like to not lose a shit ton on the car when I have to sell it in the future.

My choices which I've sort of decided upon are either: 2003/2004 Ford Mustang Cobra, Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru STi, or some other badass car that is swapped but a relatively common swap. For example an SC300 with a 2jz or LS1 Rx7. Id like it to retain AC and PS though and not have to be checked on everyday to make sure it's doing all right.

The Cobra will most likely become a port/pulley/tune car over time and I like the fact that it can remain relatively stock and still be badass. The only drawback is that, well, it's a mustang and pretty much everyone and their mom has one. It also doesnt have too much space for me to put stuff in it to move around.

The STi and Evo are relatively similar in the fact they are AWD and 4 door but they can seem kind of childish and immature overall. The Evo is more badass with the stronger internals, but also lacks in build quality. The Subaru has better build quality but you have to worry about the rings going out.

The badass swapped car idea has lots of benefits. Low insurance on an older car while it still being quick as hell to enjoy on a daily basis. However, with a swapped car it can sometimes be a headache to maintain and narrow down little problems with the vehicle. I'd like to get a USDM swapped vehicle so that parts are easy to find and mechanics can figure out the issue with ease if required. I'm open to ideas on a good swapped car though. I could only think of sc300 is300 or ls1 Rx7 but those can get kind of pricey.

Now this isnt a decide my car for me thread. I would really just like some input from other car guys on what a good, fun DD would be. If you have any other ideas for a good vehicle please explain for me the benefits and drawbacks and personal experience if any.

Thanks guys

Oh yeah, I'm trying to set up a poll, but Im not too forum savvy so dont yell at me if I mess it up.
