(I apologize in advance for another one of these threads)

So im thinking its time for a change in cars, and I am having a hard time deciding what I want. Looking for pros, cons, strengths, weaknesses, and owner views on this list:

GC8 Subaru WRX
Evo I and II
Toyota MR2
Celica GT4
BMW E36
Other Options maybe?

Price is going to be $10000 and under I think.

Thanks

Can't comment on E36's

GC8/ST205's are bulletproof and an extremely fun car to drive

Evos are very fun cars, however I see almost every single talon having a rebuilt or an overhauled engine. before 150k

I think best bang for buck is the GC8, you can get a good one for under 7500, evos are more expensive, ST205's are a bit more expensive, extremely rare if you are getting the 94 WRC model

I was also thinking of a S14 as well. I think it would suit me more than my S13.

I was really close to buying an E36, but the seller started being all weird and I decided I didnt want to buy another RHD, so I decided to keep my car and buy an ATV instead to have fun with while I finish school.

In conclusion I think I am way too picky with what I want so im just going to wait until I finish SAIT and start working more than 25 hours a week to save up.

Theres a few sub 40k cars ill be thinking about in early 2012.
