Want some ideas for a fun car
 
I realize these posts come up a lot. I'm not a 16 year old looking for a first car. After numerous discussions with my car guy friends about what car to get next, I've come to a point where I've run out of fun cars I get super excited over to a point where I have to own/drive/try it. Talk about first world problems. Throw some ideas around. Thanks guys.

Here are my basic requirements:
-rwd or rear based awd
-manual
-no sunroof, no targa, no convertible
-not a boat, ideally between 1000-1500kg
-no rust
-no solid axle
-LSD must, clutch type preferred, ok with torsen, settle with viscous
-a/c, heat
-electric windows
-central lock
-abs
-seats 4 ok
-2 dr, 4 dr, or wagon
-na or boosted
-250 hp and up
-no beaters
-can be DIY/tinkered with at home
-parts availability high preferred
-something I haven't owned before
-within $10-20k budget

...and I thought I had ADD when it came to car ownership...

Sorry, no suggestions. Everything I can think of either falls outside your price range or requirement list...

Edit: Fiero GT?

T4RAWR 08-23-2013 10:46 PM

my vote goes to the chaser.

Traum 08-23-2013 10:57 PM

Good luck with maintenance on the FD RX-7. As nice a driver's car as that may be, reliability is not a strong suit for that car, especially when even the newest example of those are already 10+ years old. On the other hand, since you haven't tried a rotrary yet, I would suggest giving a late model RX-8 some thoughts. The car is loads of fun and sufficiently reliable if you stick to the later model years.

Wow, you're looking for a very specific car.

2003-2005 AUDI B6 S4 AVANT Dolphin Grey

Meets almost all requirements... except sunroof?

godwin 08-23-2013 11:48 PM

RWD will take out most of the competition for parts availability.. BRZ.

xjc11 08-23-2013 11:49 PM

e46 m3

although a lot of them are probably over 20k.

Would agree with an X100 Chaser or R34 GT-T. I would say JDM GC8 STi ver.6 or Mitsubishi Legnum/Galant VR4, but I think both fail to meet some of the criteria.

Probably don't meet all your criteria, but I've always thought a Lotus Elise would be a fun little car to rip around in. Not fun to get in or out of, but fun once you're in it..

Lotus is too expensive.
