im sayin a eclipse man gsx.. can beat the deals you can get on em and the aftermarket parts they make for is just speechless
Test drive the certain ones you like. I drove an srt4 and loved it compared to my friend's wrx. Don't go with a gsx or a 3000gt. DSM's are great and have a large aftermarket but equal problems in the future, especially with the chassis rust. Srt4's are good cars but are the second highest on insurance (evo is first), so check with your insurance company before buying one. The wrx is an all around great car just a tad bit expensive. My buddy is on his second engine and the price of everything is killing him, but the scooby's are great and dependable vehicles. All around I would actually pick up a cobalt ss/sc. The LSJ and drivetrain are bulletproof, modifications are cheap and don't affect the driveability that much and it's a very well done interior. I don't know a lot about mazdaspeed's but the 3 version (turbo) is very fast and I'd personally trust a mazda. Don't buy an s4, way too expensive. Hope that helps you out a little. (Btw after driving an evo, wrx, srt4, b6 s4 and cobalt ss/sc, the cobalt was by far my favorite car.)

I wish I would have just put the money down on a used one when I had the chance. I have yet to hear anyone talk about the cobalt ss/sc in any bad way, everything has been positive. IHATEU how much was your car payment per month? Insurance about average also? I thought I read that they weren't bad for insurance compared to a majority of other sports cars.
find a clean gsx parts are everywhere for them hell there are full motors going everyday around here for 500 or less stock mind you but its nice to have a back up motor and one you can just start building. when i was looking for one i found atleast 10 super clean gsx's around here one thing to look for is the under lining that was a option from the dealer it will save you from dealing with the rust and rott
i bought mine new with the G85 performance package (LSD, recaro seats) sunroof and side curtain air bags and i think it was in the mid $300 range but i always paid $400 a month, that was with like $3000 down. the insurance was not bad, i have a clean record though, i think it was around $170 a month. the side curtain air bags was a $300 option and it saved me $40 a month on insurance.
Sorry you didn't get to keep it... hopefully you can get it back (or something better) down the road.
