1. It looks like a truck, even with full-coilovers and a body kit.
2. The engine is made in Mexico.
3. All I can think of is the old 'Hi.' commercials.
4. Enterprise has a fleet of them
5. You have now joined import haters central.
6. Passengers are confused by the 'Cranks' in the rear.
7. In 4 years your car will be worth 400 dollars.
8. No matter how hard you try, everyone will call it a Neon.
9. It may be fast, but it sure isnt pretty. You might as well go buy a 10-second Vega.

They also have some of the worst crash ratings in the industry. Fail miserably in the reliability department, and 90% are driven by women.

Ok...1sty...dunno if you're still checking this thread, but you should, just to see what I have to say 
I'm surprised that no one has thrown the WRX in the mix here. This way you could drive it year round, have great aftermarket support to tinker, and a really freakin reliable car in a subaru. I'm sure that you could find one new for around 22k. You could even get a used one for like 17-19k and still have an ass-ton of warranty on it.
However, if you stick with the above stated options:
SRT-4 in silver (every other color looks like bad nail polish!)
Get the calipers done red (or put brembos on w/ red calipers) as that looks really neat...then make it look like the neon rally/touring car (which looks better than the stock in my opinion) I'm not a huge fan of the rims either. As for the alternator...well...ID's install in that neon looked sick, so I think that speaks volumes for what the Audiophile end-user could do.

I already test drove a WRX and I didn't like it at all. The MP3-T is faster and the WRX handling is just shameful.Also the deal I worked out was for 21500

*grins* Of course!
I'd say go for the SRT-4. I previously owned 2 RX-7's and they were great. However, the RX-7 is a commitment. You have to constantly perform the maintenance and tinker with it to keep it running like a top. The first time you slack, you will have major problems. I had an '82 RX-7 with a 13B streetport running 12's and a '91 N/A. The '91 held up pretty well, but the engine blew its rear apex seal at about 140K. I eventually sold both of them. The '82 was basically a race car and I didn't run it much anymore. When the '91 died I was very busy and didn't have the time to pull the motor.
Which is damn good for a new WRX. The handling can be changed (at least the steering should have been tight) . Besides...You're looking at a Mustang and said you don't use the handling of the Mp3 that much, so I'm not sure why that would be a factor. Of course...it all comes down to being comfortable with what you drive. Of course...subaru is coming out with the B4 legacy in the states soon. It'll be a detuned version of the STi, but in the legacy body.
I have seen that legacy, very nice.
I found a dealer that will let the Mach I go for $23.5K but I still have this MP3 to sell. Chances say we will be well into the 04 model year on everything before it sells. I am going to sell the MP3 and dump what ever I make on it into what I owe on the P5.
Maybe next year I will have the available funds to get anything when I see a deal.
