Well guys,you all probaly seen this once you seen that i have posted in here,but why not a Srt-4?I mean,i'm not in any bashing any of the cars..But remember "bang for the buck"..
Se-R..i like them,especially the "Nismo" ones,nice interior,quality car,BUT if your looking into going fast for cheap...not the car(Not sure what you plan on doing with any of the cars)
The new Civic Si..Ugly as a sin,not a "generally HUGE" aftermarket for them,shifting on the dashboard isnt fun
MazdaSpeed..A buddy of mine had one,i liked this car,fun as shit,stock sound system KICKS ASS,with minimal mods he went 13.7 which isnt bad at all for that car,gotta be careful,past 12 psi on the stock(t25) turbo,motor will say bye bye..week internals hold this car back...ALOT,but a very nice/fun/quick car
Wrx-AWD=THE SHIT,HUGE aftermarket,but not cheap,interior is nice,shifts very smooth,boxer engine sounds great,they look nice also
Srt-4..good aftermarket,Stock LSD,interior is made nice by the complimenting "viper" seats,but also cheap by "random plastic"

..its a love it or hate it car

..Easily made fast..ive seen them go deep 12's with less than $1200 invested
