Default need a new car-- help me choose

Okay guys. I need another car and value your opinions. This is an add to the herd, not a replacement.

Here are the firm requirements:
–four doors
–manual transmission
–40,000 budget
-new car
-horsepower (i already have one useless car, don't need another)


I'm thinking GTI, Golf R, STI, or even SS if they can work a great deal.

Any thoughts, ideas? thanks!

Here is a good place to start

BMW 328i

Very lively turbo 4
Good gas mileage
Comes in manual
Very good 4 door
Good standard equipment
Can be haggled for more discount (since its high volume)
4 year, 50,000k miles paid maintenance

If you want more you can start with a base 320i
