What's the best rwd or awd car for under 20k? This is what I'm looking for

Moar?

The 09 sport sti seems to fit this, but knowing people they most likely will overprice it
Indeed
I don't want a 335i that's the point

But it seems like that's exactly what you want

The repair bills would rape my wallet. If I had the time and willingness to DIY than I would consider it. If I can find a 14-15 under warranty for sub 20k than maybe but that's so unlikely it's not even worth thinking about

The evo and wrx don't come with leather seats

>335i maintenance would rape my wallet
>no objection to evo or sti
nigga what

The 335i is a very nice car but i'd recommend alcantara seats instead of leather

I'm still looking into it, I didn't say I want either one. But leather seats are a must

Why is that?

Alcantara feels nice and is easy to maintain
Leather on the other hand:
>too hot and sweaty in summer
>really cold in winter
>known issues: heavy wear on lumbar support area and ripping/ cracking seat covers
It's also a little bit heavier but that would be benchracing

I don't know what engines they offer in the US but the NA inline-6 are breddy reliable

'79-'81 Z28.
For that price you can get one in great condition, probably even with a little souped up engine like a 383 stroker.
Alternatively an IROC-Z.
