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
