I am reccomending a brand new Subaru Baja Turbo. It's a new version of the Subaru Brat, except it look a lot nicer, and has a lot more HP (about 200 HP I think). Either you like it or you don't. We have a 2002 Baja non turbo model, so it doesn't have as much power (140 HP). Both base models are about the same price range though. We test drove a new Baja Turbo, and it was pretty fast. They are unique cars also. In 3 years, I've only seen about 5 or 6 on the road. Great off road vehicles also.
