What would be the most powerful care under $25000 that doesnt exceed 150-160 horsepower?

Question

my parents will get me a car but there are some limitations, so i was wondering what the best type of car to get would be, please sedan answers only

Answer 1

Go for a toyota matrix/Pontiac Vibe or scion.  This will leave plenty of money for specializing your car.  There are many factory kits and performance parts (maybe sneak a turbo in ;) ).

Answer 2

A Civic or a Corolla would be a great car for you. You could also get a nice pre-owned, late model Camry or Accord for under $25k. Any of those would be great. If you don't mind a 4-cylinder engine, and you don't have to have every available feature (cruise control, power windows, etc.) on your car, you could get a new Camry or Accord in your price range.

Answer 3

Explain to your parents that this lack of horse power could be dangerous  When your racing your friends with more horses your going to have to perform much more dangerous maneuvers to keep up with them endangering you and the other drivers on the road.  It's their civic duty to get you a high powered car.

Answer 4

Civic or Corolla. Both well under $25K. Powerful, yet hp does not exceed 150.
