you could get a brand new 2.5i legacy for about 18k right now. they are clearing them out! not as fast as a wrx but faster then your cl and much more luxurious then an impreza. but since some mentioned a impreza. you could easily get a newer wrx for 15k. again faster but not luxorious. i know you want a manual also. so a 2nd gen tl or 3rd gen tl is out. that leaves a used lexus is or an accord.

ill say it again. 2001 lexus is300 5spd easily had for under 15k if you can find one. no 14 sec car, but fun to drive and faster then what you had.

You can find a 1st gen cl, if that is what you really want, just give it a minute.
I had an Integra, but it was stolen, they are too easy to break into (like all Hondas) but trying a newer cl might be what you are looking for, pleanty of room in the runk for your stuff, and definitely enough horsepower stock. I went from manual to the sprtshift, and it isn't great, but it isnt that bad. Otherwise

Maxima, BMW 325is, 2 dr accord (99-02), or buy an integra LS for cheap and put a turbo on it, you'll still have money left over if you go the integra route, but it has a higher chance of being stolen

There is a cyclone blue one near my crib for 9K, I'll check it out later for you. I don't understand why you having problems find another 1st Gen..I see them everywhere..I'll get you some choices soon..I agree with Mike an IS300 is a good choice a couple of subtle mods and you got a quick little sucker.

yeah im def taking a look at that RSX, but the 2nd 1, audi's have the highest repair costs of any vehicle, and im not into that lol. i was thinkin about it, a manual tsx would b a dream come true, but those suckers have such high resale value that their nowhere in my ballpark. There's a blue 1st gen at Pascack Auto Exchange over in washington township i gotta check out, that 1 might work for me.

oh man those integra's are great looking...too bad theyre highly desireable by thieves in my area, so buyin 1 would basically be like giving them a car, cuz they'd surely steal it the 1st chance they got. that RSX has alot of bullshit on it, id strip the exterior lol. is that audi manual or automatic? he has contradicting statements in his description

The Lexus SC300 is really nice and comes in a 5 speed. RWD in the winter isn't whole lot of fun, but that car looks sick with a drop and some 19's with a deep lip. Saw one like that the other day.
