I've gone over this so many times but long story short is they are fairly cheap to be had ($4k or under or so), RIDICULOUS amounts of aftermarket, can handle amazingly for cheap, can be FAST for cheap, and to top it off they are light rwd cars, so you can do just about anything with it. (drifting, drag racing, auto-x, road racing, whatever). Thats about it. Plus the sexy factor, they are just pretty. And mines not multi colored or falling apart, fyi.
