Thanks

I don't think the Mini cooper S with a turbocharged engine, six speeds, and 34/29 gas mileage is a chick car at all. Especially with nice racing stripes.
The thing with the cobalt is that it's going to be phased out soon, the looks are boring, and it doesn't pack anymore punch than that mini cooper s. It's still on the list, but I would consider the civic SI ont he same level, for reliability. I've heard stories of stock turbocharged engines and their maintenance issues after 2 or 3 years.
The RSX used to be my favorite car...before they killed it. I wouldn't go used for a car as basic as that. It would have to be something that I otherwise wouldn't be able to get with my price range, like a 335i or GTO.

I'm thinking right now, in order from top to bottom:
Camaro
Mini Cooper S
Challenger
GT Mustang
2006 Yukon Denali used (My dad's that he is either going to give away or sell. It's fully loaded but gas will be a bitch)
Basic WRX, won't be able to get many options
Civic Si/Cobalt SS
