I'd say the 2.5RS simply because AWD >> FWD... but if you get the Civic, what year is it?

i like the subaru (sti).....but i don't think your gonna buy a more reliable, tunable ride than a civic (plus your resale value will kick ***).

My friend has a subaru RS (it's an auto) and that thing is slow as f***. Have you considered the integra or accord?

oh man, STi is my dream car! Imagine driving those 300 horses, damn. But I think the impreza might be better choice because of the awd and but like most of us say, the civic is the most tuneable car.

(the sentra se-r spec V has 175 standard hp!)

have you considered getting a 240sx? Although, it's no good for winter, it is very tuneable, and it definately hauls ***!

if you want performance and cheap price. nothing can beat the SRT-4. That thing is amazing. Handling is awsome and it has lots of power. It will smoke any of the cars you listed. There was a test drive event that dodge/chrysler put on, and they had professional drivers take you around a track in an SRT-4 (and a Viper). Very fast.

It may be fast, but I really doubt that it's reliable. Give it 60k miles, and I bet that stuff will start breaking on that car. If you want something good, get an evo or 350Z - those are way more fun. Always remember the old saying - "you get what you pay for"
