Sold my 951!! hat do I get now?
I sold my car today for $12,000 to someone in Canada, now I am looking to buy a new car so I don't have to have anymore headaches, anyone have any suggestions?? I definitely don't want an EVO or WRX, the insurance is waaay to high, I am looking at the Mazdaspeed3, anyone familiar??

I like the mazdaspeed3, I wanted 4wd so I got a Subaru Legacy GT, 2.5 Litre Turbo 250hp, comfortable,
handles pretty good, get rid of the stock tires though, 5 spd shifts pretty smooth, cheap insurance,
much better than the WRX I had before it.

The regular WRX doesn't have 300hp, only the STI. In fact the brand-new WRX uses the exact same engine as the Legacy GT.

Mazdas are awesome, I had a 2002 Protege 5 about 3 years ago, I loved it, handled great for a FWD! My mother had a Mazda 1993 MX3 for 8 years and she loved it, my bother has a 2001 Ford Escape with the Mazda 3.0 V6 that he uses for work and he has 196K on it and still drives great, my best friend just bought a CX-7 and he adores it!

Hmm, well, I doubt you'll really be able to leave the car alone for long. All of us are afflicted with the "disease".
However, what are your requirements? Do you need a wagon, all wheel drive, hatchback, sedan, etc, etc...
There are some really nice cars out there, like an E36 M3 which are cheap to buy used and cheap to maintain...

I just looked at the 2005 Subaru Legacy GT and it did 0-60 in 5.7 seconds with stock 13.5 psi, not bad for AWD! The 2007 model has 243 hp but it starts at $28K
