I vote Lexus IS.. should be completely reliable and very safe. Not a huge fan of the Evo personally.

Or a WRX Sti, that's another great car with the amazing boxer engine. Those things sound unbelievable with an exhaust.

Imagine a GMR run with one of those they'll always come up top.

I've been in a modded one and it did feel like it was on rails but if this video is true then this car really handles.

Also the BMW 135 compares well to the evo too. Both are turbo and tuning for extra power is a breeze.

Or if you want a more "mature" car you could go for a M3, the E46. The insurance on those is extremely cheap also. Not to mention it's a p***y magnet.

E46 M3, I wish.

But I was looking at the 2004 STi's and EVO 8 or 9.

And older IS's like 2003-2005.


I've always wanted a STi as a kid, and still do. Then again, take the fact in that I'm only 16. I can't start payments on a C63 lmao

16?? Damn, your insurance is gonna be the same price as your car payment.

That car is soo easy to mod. Literally with 6k you can turn it into a 600hp car if not more. 2k on the suspension and you have a extremely fast car that can out handle almost anything.

i'm 24 and i think you guys would sh*t if you knew how much i pay for insurance, lol

how about when i first got my car in June, the first 6 months was $195 per month so $1170 for 6 months, then my first ticket from 2005 dropped off(5 year rule) and it went down to $146 per month, $876 per 6 months, which is what i'm paying now. this is with 1 ticket and 1 accident from a ways back.

YOU'RE 16? I am no longer the youngest on here I'm 17. FYI insurance is going to kill you to insure a STi. I am 17 and the insurance on the M3 is relatively cheap. sub $100.
