PovertyDamn thats a poor selection of coupes. Id have to agree with blazing on this one.
Holy $^#@ the world ends and hell freezes over

YSSMAN...Have you considered the US-Spec Focus ST? It isnt as nice as the ol' Focus SVT, but she still has a sweet 160HP, and is still pretty fun to drive...
JCE3000GTThis brings me to an idea, can a moderator add the regular Civic coupe? Not the Si but the Civic EX coupe? Is that possible--just an idea...
DriftsterI'd take a SRT-4, or a Solara
I'd take
BlazinXtremeEhhh I don't know the Cobalt didn't feel nearly as refined as the Civic did, plus the Cobalts have had a ton of problems according to their owners.
SwiftIt's a first model year car. That's bound to happen.
The Vanishing Boy-> My best recomendation is to get either a used WRX sedan, RSX Type-S, and the Civic Si. Or better yet, the Accord EX V6 6-Speed, and the TSX.
SwiftCome on man. We're talking NEW coupes and under 20K. The WRX starts at about 24, but the RS is about 18 but of course, both are 4-door. The RSX-S is at least 24K and the other cars you mentioned are way out of the price range.
So, that's why nobody talked about the WRX, because it's not inside the criteria. Check the first post.
SwiftDone..
The Vanishing Boy-> Well I didn't say a new WRX, if you can read well, I said a certified used WRX. And by the way I read the whole first page. (:
And now for everyone else, let's try something new in messageboard history. Let's post something POSITIVE about each of the choices with nothing negative? Seriously, try and post something positive about them all--let me start.
SwiftWhere's the fun in that? Seriously, talking about the flaws of a car along with it's positive aspects is the only real way to critique a car, IMO.
JCE3000GTI'm trying to see who can actually be open minded enough TO post something positive about everything. Problem is, most of the people here don't post something positive along with the massive amounts of negative things about the subject. I think we're all a little guilty of that. 👍
Rogue SsvYes but my dad drove it and 5 things like fell off in my hand while I operated them
They stopped making them in 2001 I believe. And I think they started around the low 30's for a turbo base model. They are cool cars though.BlazinXtreme
YSSMANThe Mazda3 is a nice car, but I really think it is too expensive for what you get, which is dissapointing. The old Protoge was a great car... Cheap, fairly quick, and a blast to drive. The Mazda3 is just something else, kinda like The New Coke of the Mazda world...
ToronadoThey stopped making them in 2001 I believe. And I think they started around the low 30's for a turbo base model. They are cool cars though.
Also, something that will blow this whole poll open:
The Cobalt SS SC (which most people are refering to when they talk about the Cobalt), uhh... doesn't start at under 20k. It starts at 20,490 MSRP. Both the Acura RSX and Civic Si start at less.
You know what else? You can still get Mk. IV GTi V6's for less than 20 now that the new one is out. Maybe not everywhere, but I've seen them for sale around here.
GT4_RuleIt starts at $24,495 or something around that in Canada. Now someone who is a walking calculator do the math to US dollarsCanadian dollar is right now worth 90 cents US.
