Default BEAT: totally undecided on what my next car will be

so im in the process of buying a new car. well not brand new, but new to me.
ive owned an original vw rabbit gti, a heavily modified vw corrado VR6, and now an E36 M3.
i want something with 4 doors, factory turbo, manual tranny, and fun to drive. looking to spend $20-23K. the candidates are below.


heres my current ride:
95 M3



brag:
- 3.5" maf, big injectors, software, exhaust, coilovers, sways bars etc
- one of teh best handling cars ive driven
- ~230 hp to the wheels
- still one of the hottest looking cars on the road

beat:
-only 230 whp, aftermarket FI start at 8k
-130K miles
-stupid coolant leak/overheating problem that NOBODY can seem to figure out
-2 doors is getting to be a pain
-parts and labor are stupid expensive

variance:
on separate occasions have had a mirror, grill, and side skirt stolen or failed attempt to steal



candidate #1
'03-'05 Subaru STi


brag:
-rediculously fast
-capable of making huge power
-capable chassis

beat
-fugly. bugeyed, ricer wing




candidate #2
'01-'02 audi S4



brag:
-dead sexy looks, "grown up"
-cheapest car of the 3
-comfortable
-300hp is only a chip away
-can make really big power, good after market
-im pretty familair with the VAG aftermarket, have lots of connections/friends with vw's and audi's

beat
-handles like a pig. i'd have to have coilovers ordered before i even bought the car
-sluggish stock, really heavy
-$$$$for parts, $$$$$$for labor, a bitch to work on
-will have way more miles on average than the sti or evo

variance
-completely walked one of these on the highway in the M3. he was prob stock. got spanked by one in the corrado






candidate #3
'03-'05 MitsubishiEvo VIII



brag
- best handling car you can buy for the money. only car of the group that can turn faster lap times completely stock than my M3
- already quick with big aftermarket, cheap and easy to tune with huge potential
- engine has been around for a long time and has proven to be bullet proof
-awesome brakes
-cheap parts/labor compared to my current car

beat
-boy racer looks, ricer wing
-cheap interior

variance
- had a bone stock evo pull away from me by ~2 carlengths in a 65-120mph highway roll on



so what you think?

Subaru FTW...blew the doors off an 04 S4 in an 04 STi

#2 - Evo
#3 - S4
#4 - old M3

btw...If you dont like the spoiler on the Sti/Evo, they make really good looking lip spoilers and just smaller wings in general

It doesn't have to be this way man...




I cleaned mine up, took some stickers off, took the wing off, doesn't get much a second look until I put the gas down
