did you know a lot of banks will finance any brand BUT GM and MITSUBISHI because they depreciate so fast? mitsu's are garbage. if you buy one, you BETTER GET GAP INSURANCE.

the new si is bad-ass, i drove a hand-built prototype on an autocross course. it reminded me of a prelude sh.

the scion tc drove like ass. stay away

350Zs are sweet, but nissan has always had interior quality and fit/finish issues. shitty interiors suck. you'll have fun with that car though.

mitsu's are are garbage.

pick up a used type-S and drop the itr lsd in it. 300 lbs. lighter, same engine, hatchback, and cheaper.

overall i would probably go with the sti. yeah it's ugly, but it's practical, fast, and subaru has really done well with the reputation for reliability recently.

by the way, for 06, honda has 3/36 bumper-bumper, and 5/60 powertrain. i sell hondas at a dealer.
