Depends on what the car is for.. and it depends you plan on doing with it.. and yes, i mean those as two different things. i.e. weekend car that will be taken out for a spirited drive every now and then, or daily driver that may be taken off-road (yeah, i know, deals with trucks) or a daily driver that you look at lightly modding..

if the latter, i'd take a look into the new 2005 Legacy's.. something similar to those..

if a weekend car, hmm.. that requires a bit more thinking..
