well dude....get what ya want. You gotta remember that opinions are like @ssholes and that everyone has one. I have a 7th gen civic (which yes I know is out of your price range) and I absolutely love my car....and I have NOTHING done to it. You gotta remember that you're buying you first car...it doesn't have to be the most spectacular thing in the world. No matter what you get and what you do to it, I can pretty much tell you that 10 yrs from now you're gonna look back at what you did to that car and think WTF was i thinking!?! So, I say do your homework on potential cars that you like the looks of and see if you can find any of those in your price range. Just don't let yourself get screwed over when finally buying one!
