THANK GOD

It's one of few cars that I can't consider buying because of the community. And it's not as good as the other choices.

yeah, neither could I. Now I need to justify to myself why any of the other 3 choices is the right one...
Jetta=VAG LOVE
Juke=DEM LOOKS
Mustang=POWEEEEEER
this is hard :\

Keep this in mind: If you ever take the juke to an automotive event, you'll be very popular. It's so...different.

ahh Brian, you are swaying my mind more and more towards the juke RS

I want to, I should do, I need to!

Noooo! The best one on your list by far, eliminated because of me?

Seriously though...

$25k, I see so many missed great cars.

v6 Camaro (Better than the stang)

BRZ/ FR-s

WRX

Genesis 2.0T

I'd scratch the Jetta now, unless you want to know the meaning of depreciation and unreliable 1 car in.

You said I wasn't that bad... :(

E92M3 > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power
07/19/2014 at 10:36

Ah ok. I think I would pick the Jetta in this case. It's down on power but looks the best out of all of them.

PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power > AthomSfere

Well, not in my opinion. I considered those too, but they all had something I didn't like. For example:

Camaro: Interior is just junk
BRZ/FRS too little power too much cost
WRX: While an awesome driving car, I like my interiors to be good, and the WRX doesn't do that...
Genesis 2.0T: I love this car. it's great fun, and it looks awesome. It just got overtaken by the mustang on my list since I like fords more

I also did just make the decision which one i'll get BTW

I DON'T LIKE CIVIC SIs!!!

But anyone on oppo who has one is automatically better.

god I'm so jealous of your problems. I've been saving up for months to get enough to plunk down like 3-4k on a car so I can get to and from drs appointments once school starts backup

That said, I'm from a honda family and love the civic si, however I had and loved the '99 si I owned, until it got t-boned.

Since you won't go with anything other than new tho happy you vetoed the SI, I wouldn't buy any after the 7th gen (2000-05)

07/19/2014 at 11:44

well, I actually made my choice, look for a bolded post with jukes in it! ;)

great call. I really hope you can find a juke with a manual. For some reason I've been obsessing over manual SUVs recently. Hoping to be able to find a Forester Manual in a month or two when I can afford one

PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power > CallMeTURBO
07/19/2014 at 11:50

oh I did. local dealer where a family friend works has 2 identical black nismo RS's right now, plus I found a 3rd one some 25mi away as a backup

thing is im on vacation in Europe, and can't buy the car for another 19 days

CallMeTURBO > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power
07/19/2014 at 11:55

good! I had read your post before and hoped you weren't gunna veto the juke cause you couldnt get the RS with the sound system or find a regular one with the manual. But good on you.

There needs to be more people who are willing to buy new manual SUVs cause 5-7 years down the road there will always be people like me willing to buy them hahah.

Did you know you can get a rwd Porche Cayenne GTS with a manual? So jalop I can't even stand it, plus, if you add more low, you basically have a more attractive wagon than the panamara

PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power > CallMeTURBO
07/19/2014 at 11:56

no I didn't! really? I knew you could get a manual cayenne, but not a RWD one!

CallMeTURBO > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power
07/19/2014 at 11:58

YES! I edited my original post cause I forgot to write "GTS" after cayenne. But seriously tho how awesome is that. How could anyone ever say porche is not an enthusiast brand anymore if they can still give us awesomes like that

CallMeTURBO > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power
07/19/2014 at 12:02

nevermind, I lied. Looks like I had seen someone do a front transaxle disconnect and make it a rwd by themselves. Still, it's possible

CallMeTURBO > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power
07/19/2014 at 12:06

Turns out you can get a rwd panamara S w/manual. Got the same v8 as the cayenne except a little but more ugly

Sorry, slow to come back here ;)

"mustang on my list since I like fords more"

Heathen! I mean, wut?!?!?! I will say I am biased here, I have owned 2 Fords and they were both complete and utter junk. But, I think Ford has turned around recently. I am not personally interested in a Mustang until 2015 though.

Which one did you choose?

I haven bought it yet, but the Juke!
