I need some advice. Asked this in a thread earlier and got no

Go with the WRX. Pretty easy to work on and parts are fairly common. Audis and VWs are expensive and gay unless you love them. (I work on them and for the most part like them but you need special tools for almost everything). Infiniti g35 is decent choice too but everything is kind of crammed in there from what I've seen. I like space in my engine bays.

Pick one. Just get a civic for 3k and snow tires.

Cool thanks. Honestly I'd expect the wrx to be more cramped than a g35 but idk. And good call with the VAG propriety, my stepdad has a well equipped garage but he's always been about his BMWs and wouldn't have any Audi tools.

I'm not afraid of preventative maintenance, I'd be replacing components as per mfg suggestion. I know I can get less headaches from a civic but... I just don't want a civic. I don't have a good reason, they're just kind of soulless cars and entirely unappealing to me personally.

Drive one. They have great shifters and are very light and tossable on good tires. It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

If you can only afford 5k you can't afford any of those cars. The allroad will rape your wallet with the air suspension and timing belt. The wrx will blow headgaskets and spark plugs are a bitch to do and it's been abused by boyracers for 13-15 years. The G35 has probably been owned by boyracers or niggers and not been taken care of. The vq35 is also prone to burn oil and you've got the extra awd parts that wear and need to be replaced. Get a fucking civic and get a better car when you have more money.

Poorfags fuck off.

This guy also has info worth noting. >>16621259

I know you want something with soul or whatever but Hondas are great for multiple reasons. You learn all the basics of maintenance and if you fuck something up you can just go to the junkyard and there are 20 of your car's generation staring at you in the face. You could also go for a non-turbo Subaru with a manual transmission.

memes aside this is honestly better than any of OP's ideas. there might be something better out there if you find a deal but unlikely.

seriously just use the money you save to tighten up the suspension on the civic a little and have fun. don't waste your $$ on money pits and buy something better when you can afford it.

G37 > G35, most of the 35s are starting to fall apart at this point anyway so theyre not gonna be that great of an option much longer

Noted, I'll start looking for hondas. Especially agree about the allroad, seems like a financial time bomb.

>>16621328
I don't think I can find a 37 in my price range, or haven't been able to so far

>>16621299
I've had friends maintain their subies for nothing, while the 35 and a6 are out of the running I still think I could do ok with some permutation of an Impreza

>>16621985
Yea because a clean g37 is 16k+. 20-25k for a low mile one owner.
