i would look for any car that has a large amount of parts available in the wreckers , especialy if it's a car that u are going to learn on.

when u break something u want to be able to get the parts with out waiting a few years or paying threw the nose.
new or used

although AWD Turbo DSM's are rare at wreckers...trust me I know...you can amass parts very inexpensively if you look around and know which parts you will be beating up on during your McCrae endeavours...

All AWD cars are pricey to repair. They're usuall heavier, and the drivetrain usually takes a beating.

So if AWD cars are xpensive to repair, and there is alot of beating on the drive train it begs the question.. should one just use a FWD car? and if so what one?

if you are planning to do performance rallying, a FWD car isn't a bad choice to start in. VW Golfs are popular FWD rally cars.

Don't you have to rally in the kick ass class if you're running a 4wd car?
