navi, under 60k, right around 13 and 04/05 was before they dropped the HP so you'd get 270.

Me personally tho I'd go find an IS 300/350 from a quick search I see TONS of choices under 13k


Or go get a boxster S like this one here

Make a few mods to that 250hp engine and get it up over 300


Oh from what I've seen in our area (and we had like 20-30 inches of snow last year) RWD/FWD both suck lol which is why our family isn't getting something even sweeter like a cts-v or c63 amg or m3/m5

Hmm, the TL looks like a good car to look into. I'll have to check them out. I'm not sure how I feel about a Boxster. As said below, I think that they S2000 is a better car for the money. Then again, I haven't driven either.

I'm really starting to dig the new TL's. A lot of people hate the body styling but it's growing on me...and the interior is gorgeous! Did I mention AWD and push button igntion!!

A lot of debate has been thrown into the mix about the Boxster. It usually ends with..Well, it's a Porsche. This is true, but I think the S2000 beats it out. They are both priced around the same now and relatively affordable. The S2000 interior completely blows away the Porsche's. Again, it will be argued that it is a Porsche so it wins hands down, but don't rule out Honda. NSXPrime is loaded with former Ferrari owners that decided to go with an NSX.

Wow!

That's a world of difference. The Boxster looks cheap by comparison. I'm going to have to drive the S2000 and see that I think. I've heard it's a great chassis, but I hear it has an extremely narrow powerband. I'm not one to care about a name plate so much as if I like the car. It would be nice to have a Porsche, but I think I would rather have a slightly older 911 over a newer Boxster.

Get a Subura Impressa!

AWD.

I got a 2009 with 15k on it.

For less look at 2006 and 2007 which have an awsome body style.

If I was to get another sporty car, it'd be a WRX or just a Impressa.
Subura kicks arse, in the snow/ ice/ rain.

An Impreza is an option, but I'm still hung up about changing the spark plugs. Plus it's hard to find them around here with decent mileage or finding one that hasn't been molested by people that don't know what they are doing. Which is the same reason I'm not holding out for an Evo either.
