im in the 20-22K price range and these are the cars i have to choose from.
I want a good balance of looks, power, fuel efficiency and also a car that will last long and decent priced repairs
I also live up north so there is alot of driving in snowy and icy conditions.

Would really appreciate your input

1) 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart.. 4 cylinder turbo, AWD, leather seats, heated seats, decent on gas
2) 2011 Nissan Altima Fully loaded.. 4 cylinder, FWD, leather seats, sunroof, navigation, heated seats, good on gas
3) 2010 Infiniti G37.. V6 leather seats, navi, heated seats, sunroof, AWD
4) 2010 Mercedes C- class C250 4 Matic..V6 full loaded and luxury AWD

Most on this forum would agree, Nissan Sentra

Go for the altima then imo . Don't vet the lancer or the merc

Why isn't there a WRX on that list...?

You can nab a 2011 widebody WRX for 20-22 easily...Better than every car on that list by far.

wrx sti was in my top two... but i cant find one that is in my budget.. ill look again but the wrx sti's are expensive

Volvo R Wagon. V70

Turbo. AWD. 300 ponies. 6 speed. Luxury and plenty of get up.

My friends mother drives one here, in northern NY, where for reference we got 120" of snow in December alone. That car ate that shit for supper. Lovely vehicle.

You don't need a WRX STi...a standard WRX is fine....

There's plenty of 06 and under stis for under 20k these days too.
