There are no STI wagons in the US.

They are a blast to drive. You should go out and drive every car that you have on this poll. The only one I wouldn't own is the 350z. I can't stand the interior -- especially the door panels.

Id say a C5 Vette. Everytime I sit in one I feel at home. I have no idea why.

4 cylinders are gay, and the 350 isn't worth it. Drive all of them and you won't have to ask yourself if you should pick anything istead of a corvette.

My friend has one, and I've driven it. It's not a power house, but it feels faster than it is. The inside is nice, but set up awkwardly. Bad things are there is no spare tire, which means they have run flats and from what i've heard they way heavier than normal tires since it's thicker, and it's really expensive to have worked on. An oil change is like 168 bucks or something outrageous, and it's all because of that stupid light and the mileage you have left on that oil change.

well, if there was a C6 on that list, i would have voted for that. i honesltly cant stand the C5's unless its a Z06. the interiors are cheap looking and the exterior just seems dated.

i voted for the s2k, because, i love em'! on my second one, and i'm sure i'll be sticking with this car for a long time.

He'll only be able to afford a car with a million miles. Most of the cars in his price range will have been daily drivers in sub par condition. If he said he was looking to spend $25k, I would have been all over recommending a C5.

Yeah, 4 cylinder engines suck.

My dad is selling me his C5 real cheap, $14000. I think that's what i'm going for. It only had 2 old man owners and and has reciepts for all maintenance.
