Re: new cars..under $25k...over 200hp
I would say there is absolutely no way you should drop the money on buying the brand new car.
Other than that, I would just suggest spending some money on a decent car and then spend the rest on upgrades. That is the same answer as anyone else here, we are not about dropping big money on the stock vehicle.

get a used 2000-2004 GTI 1.8T (anywhere between $1300-$1700 for a good low mileage under 50k) and toss on the APR stage 1 kit ($1700) and make 242hp/268lb-ft, or go stage 3 kit ($4499) and hit 290hp/296lb-ft or stage 3+ kit ($4999) and hit 340hp/320lb-ft.

Like I said a long while back. 1.8t motor is where it's at. The only downside is that those turbos can't hold more than 210whp or so, but its not that big of a problem. Oh yea, mustangs are the gay, but if you want to pay 900 dollars for a catback exhaust, go ahead.

A chip on those cars will give you 25-30whp.

If you have that much money available to you right away, why dont you buy like a honda (or any other realiable car for cheap) rebuild the engine turbo it and have it make more than 200hp. Im pretty sure that it would cost less than $25,000. Now that only if you already have that much available.
