in my opinion,

1) dont take out a loan that you dont need to;

2) Buy an older car but in good shape.

3) Work your @$$ off and swap it out later or build it up.

4) Dont listen to me and use those $4400 and just go put a down payment on a Mitsubishi Evo or a Subaru STi.

I like the last choice!

since you dont like hatches and judging by what you stated that you wanted, i would say find a cheap 93 prelude vtec.

to me they look good and they are fast enough (to me) stock.

crx's are not ugly at all, they are gorgeous but anyway, i say if you want original styling get a clean 240 swap an sr20det, or do a 92-95 civic 4 dr and swap a b series.

put it in the bank and buy a mo-ped!
down the road you can swap it out for a two stroke engine or something!
as picky as you are maybe you should buy a years worth of bus tickets and commute
