Drivable in 4 seasons.
Something I can take to the track on the odd day.
Fun to drive.
Manual Or Auto.
Reliable & Cheap for repairs.
Not a truck.
Under 5000$ canadian.

Get something cheap on gas. Everyone on here will say Audi, or Subaru, although they are sweet cars, I'd personally get me something that I have to fill up every 2 weeks.

Late 90's 3 series, or get a 5 series if you wanna feel like more of a baller.
You should be able to score a 5 series with the m sport package in your price range.

so when you wreck it and the shop sends your insurance the bill with a bunch of sti parts on it that your insurance company has never seen before they're going to pay for it right?

Oh, ahaha. Well in my city, you can't get a used BMW, like the ones you said for under 5k. In the US you probably could.

Why do you need a car? There are no roads between the kitchen and the bed room.

This. My dad drives one of these, he's had it for 8 years now I think and hasn't really had any problems with it and it still runs great. It also handles well in the snow. It's not too big, but plenty big to fit a bunch of skis in or even a bike or two.

I'm not sure what years or prices to look at, but definitely something to look into.

excuse me, but isn't an sti engine high compression? thus needing a high octane gasoline?
