Here is a comparison of '09 sport compacts provided by Car and Driver. I know alot of people here recomend mid 90's 240sx's and Eclipse GSX's etc. But if you are looking for a new car perhaps this can help.
Seventh: '09 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart
Sixth: '09 Mini John Cooper Works Clubman
Fifth: '09 Honda Civic Si
Fourth: '09 Subaru Impreza WRX
Third: '09 Chevrolet Cobalt SS
Second: '09 Volkswagen GTI
First: '09 Mazdaspeed 3 Grand Touring

That's a very good question... I can't even make an argument of price comparison there

Their argument is that the Rally Art is too heavy and the WRX suspension is to soft. But I don't really buy it. The Speed3 has 280 hp but going to the front wheels isn't going to help much.

what. no. your power rating is backwards. the speed 3 has 263bhp and 280tq. if they had made it awd like the speed 6, i would call it one of the top 3 cars.

Oh yeah, torque. I drive a honda so I am not used to torque being higher than hp.

Cutting your own hair. That's cheap. Civics are "affordable".

im with justin on this. the wrx and the lancer are only $22000-$26000. thats about the same price as a civic si. i will take the turbo awd car over any of those.
