I agree on modding the WRX, a tune, exhaust and air intake can change a car a lot.

I as well agree with modifying the WRX.

He has a modified WRX. Check his sig, 305whp/330wtq. If I were OP I would keep the WRX as the second car.

Whoops, forgot about this thread. Thanks for the input everyone. And yes, the WRX is pretty heavily modified. I actually made a decision—I found a great deal on an 06 Impreza 2.5i with only 45k miles. I'm picking that up and getting a bunch of money back—which means lots of goodies for the BRZ.

i've got an '06 2.5i wagon. Love it. It's an auto, but it's still a blast to drive for what it is. I'll hit 100k in the next few days and it's been rock solid other than the AC Compressor dying a few weeks ago.

Good to know! I wish this one was a wagon—but atleast it's a manual.

Get a Fiat 500 so you can like carry it in your trunk for those times you want a smaller more practial car.

Pick up a base Mazda 3 skyactiv. Has great features for the price, handles pretty great for a run of the mill type car, and you can't beat the fuel efficiency. My last tank got me 720km(448 miles) on a 50 liter tank of mixed driving. Also, you can get it in a hatch so its super versatile!

I really like the new Mazda 3. Looks good and a good performer too.

I love the mazdas too! This one is my fourth. Had an '93 mx3, 2008 Mazda 3, 2010 Speed3, and now the 2012 skyactiv.

Just saw the new Mazda 6 on the road the other day. Looked really nice. I'm really liking the new Mazda's design philosophy. The 6 looks good, as well as the new 3 and even the CX-5 (is it?) looks really good. Good job Mazda!

I have a Honda Ridgeline as my second vehicle. It is nice to drive, can haul 5 people, pull a trailer, has a locking trunk, and has moderate 4x4 capabilities. I have had mine 8+ years and put 138,000 miles with zero issues. It goes 0-60 in 8 secs. Not to shabby! It handles well too because of the AWD, well for a bigger vehicle. I love mine.
