Looking into a new vehicle

Alighty so right now I'm driving a 1979 ford ranchero as my daily driving but its a real gas pig and i need a good vehicle to have fun with and good for driving to the university and to work. i was looking into some sort of import but need some direction. i was looking into a 94' mitsubishi 3000gt but decided that wouldnt be the best decision for wisconsin winters. the next things i was looking into was either a late 90's to 2000's vw jetta with the vr6 or a subaru wrx with the 2 liter turbo but would like ohter options. Let me know your opinion and any cars that might be better or just as good of a decision, i'm looking for something fast and very customizible but somewat efficent to. thanks  

The WRX sounded like the best pick out of what you're interested in. You know, even a Cobalt SS Turbo would be pretty nice, aside from being almost as much to ensure as a Viper. Although, i know all about shitty winters, i live in Minnesota. You may want a car thats a bit bigger and heavier. For that you may want like, a 3000GT, even an older BMW M3 if you're into that type of thing.
