    that's a random car selection LOL

    If you fell in LOVE with teh rx-8 get that. DUH Get what appeals to you, rwd, awd, or fwd. Personally I'm a rwd person. AWD is fun and handles great, but lose too much power by the time it goes to the wheels. And I def wouldn't get a subie, that's a car I would NEVER try to work on.

    You know for 17k you could get a used g35 coupe, 6speed, 290 hp, 3.5l v-6. Aftermarket is huge, engines are strong for boost, nitrous, etc...
    I like looking good while going fast, quick, and luxury....

    I think he was referring to her BF, because he drives an evo... Evo's and STI's are always compared to each other.

    If you like the RX8 I'd test drive an S2k, very similar performance but I think the S2k handles a lot better... I think that would be the best choice imo!

    Either that or a Z/G

    im with this guy kinda. go test drive an s2K. better gas milege, better aftermarket selection, way better handling and power to weight ratio. better styling imo. but if u must have a 4 seater.... go with the 9Mr.

    those cars are in the same price range as a nice TSX with a supercharger from Comptech installed...

    have you driven a TSX? mmm, makes the baby jesus smile.
