I'm really looking for a car and NOT a subaru. Everyone and their hippy brother has one in Vermont. It's terrible. Only one I would consider is a 04 or newer sti, but I can't afford that.
I guess the options are slim. I'm really looking for an s4. I read consumer reviews of them and all were very positive. My room mate has an a4 now and has about 180k miles on it, only thing outside of regular mantaince was a wheel bearing.
Not looking for an suv or even a small suv. I want a car. Something I can have a little fun to drive. HAS to be a manual.
And it will stay pretty much stock. Nothing more then an intake or exhaust.
I'm coming to realize that my options are pretty slim. Living in New England can suck. If I were to be somewhere where it doesn't usually snow, I wouldn't need awd, and could get something more fun...

I am biased AGAINST VWs (and, as such Audis, since they are essentially the same). My buddy had one, and he and I sat down and figured out the total cost of ownership of the car and came to the conclusion he could have bought an M5 for about $45 more a month.
How about an Eclipse GSX? Other than that, I am thinking WRX STi.

Yeah VR4's are really cool, but trying to find one is really tough. Even tougher then finding an s4

i know u didn't want a small suv but if u can find a used jeep compass there not bad.
my dad has one 4wd w/ a dohc 2.4L(w/ 172hp) i think. i drove it upstate a few times and was great on hills. great on gas and i think u can get them in awd too.
his is stock but i saw i nice one w/ dual exaust, so i guess ppl mod them.
