DC5 hands down, case closed
350z/STI wont fit ur budget unless u get an 03 one with higher milleage or US imported, G35 try lookin at $30g, s2k costs more as well
RX8 and 350z g35 will not treat ur wallet well in terms of gas consumption
GTI? blahhhh ur choice

If you can afford to get a new rabbit and you like it enough, go for it.
this is revscene and everyone has different tastes in what they feel is a practical car for your price range.
go out and test drive it and search up on different forums for the cars your considering. read some posts by other members in those specific forums to see if they have had any issues with the car.
it's your money so get what you want 
btw - any car you get will probably end up looking like a camry on RS anyways.

I think you mean 05-06 rsx because they never had any 07-08 rsx. Anyways I used to have a 05-06 RSX it was pretty good on gas and very reliable, never had any problems at all.
The rabbit will have more rear seat room then the rsx though.

If you want to spend ALL of that $20,000 (and likely a little more) I'd get a used TSX if I were in your position.

One tidbit of advice: Check the insurance cost yearly before you buy. You'd be surprised the premium of some of these cars suggested.

A review from a few days back http://www.canadiandriver.com/2009/0...-trendline.htm
A European car will usually offer a better interior with a quieter ride, and not to mention more torque. Any Japanese cars will usually be a high-reving one in your price range.
I drive a Golf myself so I might be a bit bias, but the MKV is a good car nonetheless.

buy dude, you used to drive a Ferrari haha
The rabbit should be pretty good for daily driving. The GTi feels like a underpowered car to me unless it's chipped. No offence but I would just drive a rabbit and save the extra money for something else.

Cobalt SS, if you dont mind payments they might be a good start out car, with little to no modification these cars are fun.
Now they'll run you 30g out the door with taxes and every thing included but its 0 percent fiancing, take your time to pay it all off.

VW`s are known to have problems.. but your buying one under warranty so it shouldnt matter.. RSX is a good choice, also is a celica, cobalt SS, srt-4, wrx.. id get the wrx

was seriously considering an wrx but the sticker price for those came close to 30G for an 06, and for older ones, your dealing with high interest in payments( for me anyways, didnt have the cash) and also no warranty

I was in a similar position. Had to decide between the rabbit and the imprezza 2.5 sport.
Got the Imprezza mostly because i go snowboarding a lot and the AWD really attracted me. Also the sales person was infinitely better at Subaru than at VW. Didn't prejudge me or anything like VW.

tbh if i ever spend more money on mods than your car, i'd probably not sell it cuz i just dont think its worth it. On the topic though, premiums should also be something that you should factor into while buying a car... for example a 95 civic is cheap and reliable, but the premium for those will totally outweigh the cheapness of the car. if i rmb right, the 88-95 civic is the most stolen vehicle in canada. |
