in search of a new car.., need some input. Options

[yellowxboy]

i guess my dad's stock went up or something because he asked me earlier today if i wanted to buy a new car (w/o selling my celica) and i was like 'sure! why not!' (he normally doesn't spoil me like this )

anywho, the max he is going to spend is about $19-$20k ... nothing hardcore like an Evo or WRS or RSX .. just something that i can use to drive to school and such. i dont know much about other cars so i am asking for peeps opinions/suggestions. for sure i know i dont want a honda. i'm lookin for a 2door car, nice and has some decent HP.

cars i've looked into:

05 mustang
05 celica

wut else should i be looking at ??

Go with solara, corolla XRS, matrix XRS, or scion TC. The XRS's are gonna give you the most hp unless you get a v6 solara. But if you really want a 2 door car then solara or TC, except solara is gonna be more luxurious. Can't go wrong with Toyota, they're too good, too good for their own good.
