How about a MazdaSpeed3 with 263hp, 280ft lbs of torque, 6spd manual for less than $25k?

We bought a 325i - 2003 with 50,000 miles for 15k = sport package/leather package - 17" wheels. It get's close to 30mpg on the highway - it's alot of car for the money.

Just bought today an '04 330i: CPO, 40k miles, premium, Harmon-Kardon sound, leather, sport wheels, and auto (wife insisted) for $21.5k. This will be our 2nd 3 series and first 3 ltr. Really looking forward to it.

Legacy GT...like a reliable B5 Audi S4.

drive one. they're really great.

Have you ever noticed the only thing that we seem to care about is how quick the car is.
You all are thinking to rich. My dad just bought an '07 Corolla 5spd for like 12,500 with 900miles on the clock. It is a rocket too, if anyone was to ask. I am 6ft and ride comfortably in the backseat.

So, what's your point? ;)

I just bought a debadged Subaru WRX, sticker with options just about 29K.
I walked out with haggling and incentives with the car for $25K

Ive had the car about 2 weeks, and am really impressed with it. Its really fast when you get into the loud pedal, though it has been averaging about 23 mpg in mixed driving, it indicates 38-30 mpg at cruise. Hand calculated mpg calcs reflect 23 mpg overall. Nice car, a bit snug for a family I would think.
