Default Looking for suggestions on a new car.

So in a few weeks I'm getting about $10,000 to $15,000 and want to put it towards my first manual car. (I bought an Avalon when I was in High School.. I don't know why)

At first I was looking at RX8s then I found that they had major engine problems in the 2004-2006 models and they were the only ones in my price range.. Now I'm looking at a 2007 Tiburon SE v6 6speed, I test drove it and I'm really liking the car but I'm down for any other suggestions that I might not have thought up yet.

why dont you just get the car that you like and stop asking to what other people like. when you find a car that you like look it up on google regarding problems and recalls.

I was assuming the poster was trying to figure out if this kid worked for the money or if mommy and daddy were just buying it for him instead, lol.

i could care less if his parents buy him a brand new veyron, good for him. The point i'm trying to get at is if the money is being given to him as a lumpsum, not to spend it all on a car, it's not worth it. Save half the money and invest.
