What do you get for this kind of money that's fun and looks gorgeous. Maybe a very used hot hatch?
I agree, you can't find a better car for the money without having to kick in more cash or living with a new monthly payment you didn't have before. I still get at least one compliment from total strangers (which is saying something in NJ) on nearly every top down drive. Little do they know they could have the car for less than the price of a Hyundai Sonata, sorry a used Sonata.

I overhauled my suspension recently, and although pricey this is one fix people should do sooner than later. It really leaves the car handling like a brand new, right off the showroom car.
