Are you talking about a new one? good luck finding an SE-R spec-V for 15K and you might be able to find a normal Impreza not a WRX or STI for that little.

a mustang GT could be found second hand.
the tiburon is a proper sports coupe (according to top gear)
a second hand Sentra SpecV
a girly MR2
Mazda speed protege.. great car for 15k if im not wrong too

300ZXs are going for more than that and a VR-4 will be hard to find cheap

Hay i would much rather have an MR2 than any of the other cars you mentioned, and you can find a good used 2000 mr2 with low miles for well below 15k
but i would go with the impreza. and murder the rest of these cars on b roads, and snow

hey zevolv instead of just talkin trash why don´t you actually suggest a car in the price range...I´d say go look for a tuburon...a friend of mine has one and it´s a really good car, and it looks good too...but of course if you can find an imprezza go for that
