The Subaru is by far the best of the ones you've mentioned For those who are referencing the WRX, unless you go used, you'd be pretty tight with that budget and he mentioned the RS (which I think is now called the TS) anyway. The new 2.5's are really nice and are actually faster than the WRX's when scooting around town (2.5=lots of low end torque, WRX=power at much higher RPM's). Non-turbo would give you about 30mpg highway and should give good usability and durability (and maybe not such a disappointment as an auto). Just my $.02, (and I do own an impreza).
