Default Another what should i get threads!

Okay so right now im driving my little 4dr sedan volvo s70. Its a 1998, and pretty abused. The paint on the bumpers/fin is peeling or faded. The interior is a 7 out of 10. Its 10 yrs old and time to move on.

My aunt recently just passed away, and left me some money. I have been looking for a new car for quite some time, and by no means is my aunts passing a reason to get one. My dad wants me to purchase a new vehicle, and im not going to argue. What he wants me to do with the money im going to do. So if it came down to school, i would use it for that. By no means am i going to splurge.

So right now with a estimate of my car selling for about 3 grand minus the stereo tv blah blah, ill have around 15 down. Now, i want to stay in a somewhat luxery market but still have some speed, and decent gas milage. I dont really want anything in the v8 range, but more of a 4,5,6 cyl

My ideas so far, is a 03-04 volvo s60r. And for the right price im down to get one. But i want some other ideas on what to get. Im going to do a little modding e/i and some cosmetic stuff nothing to super

So i come to you tampa racing for ideas. And keep in mind i do want a payment to build some credit. im 20 and have paid for everything in cash all my life.

Seriously though, grab up a used S60R, since they're being discontinued (if you can afford that)

Another great option is a new STi Limited, which is a lot more refined than the normal STi. I know, I've driven my friend's. The new Volvo C30 is gonna be pretty badass, but you want a sedan, right? I'd rock a new GTI too, DSG is a blast. Audi A4 1.8t will leave you with money burning a hole in your pocket to modify, since it's so easy to get 50 more HP out of em, etc etc. Narrow down your choices

PS: personally I'd say don't go Volvo unless you want a C30. The new ones are soulless
