Hold on, you're getting a NEW car for college? Are you serious? My parents bought me a beater for college, because its college. But since you want some ideas for a car under 20K. I would say maybe a wrx? You can definately go out and get an is300 or an Audi TT. But I'd look for an EVO. screw gas mileage man. You want gas mileage get a Yaris or a civic.

You ain't going to get something good on gas and fast

WRX.

Gas is meant to be burned. might as well have fun while doing it

Dude, get a scion tc. They might not be as fast as a wrx or an is, but they're not expensive. And you can part it to hell with TRD stuff w/o voiding the warranty. Do it.

Not unless you can promise that you won't give up the celi!

Get a 07 CBR 600rr and a Yaris or Versa, i think thats about 20k right there.

personally can't think of too many parents that just buy their kid a cbr 600... It would be awesome but unusual

you want somethin fast and looks good for under 20k? go out and get a ls1 camaro, trans am, or a firebird...fastest cars for the money...also look at the new supercharged cobalts...there sexy...a wrx would be nice as well...but you want quick? and ls1 t/a or camaro would be your best bet

Ewwww. Domestics. Fail.

This is a no brainer.

Spend $10,000 making your Celica one kick ass example. This is the wet dream of every person on this site.

Then give the other 10k back to your parents, with your sincere thanks.

Not to mention it would then easily blow the doors off of a ****balt SS.. err cobalt that is.

My parents never bought me a car outright.. my mom has helped me with money towards a car.. but not just like outright said here's thousands of dollars have fun! lol

Anyway, the Scion TC ain't bad.. friend has one it's pretty quick and it's insanely good on gas... isn't a "sports" car .. turbo'd or anything so insurance should be pretty cheap.. specially since you are doing a cash deal it seems and won't have to worry about having super maximum insurance bc of a bank loan.

They do make a TRD supercharger for those right? I heard that at like 8PSI those damn things have 300hp.

actually insurance is still pretty pricy, at least thats what we found out when my friend was looking into a TC. 1 accident on the record of a 19 yr old would be like 300/month (liability only).

But if you can afford it, I'd take it into consideration. Or, just put the money into the Celica!

good gas milage + fast is not likely for 20k.

the TRD supercharger will bring you to 200 hp at 7 psi.

whether or not 300 is achievable, i don't know, but it will take more tweaking than you initially think, and youll probably have to void your warranty anyways if you want serious power.

wow that sucks.. I've been in 2 accidents.. none of which were my fault. I'm 22 and paid like 80/month for liability when i had the 94 GT. I have Nationwide and I'm in their best tier.
