Life's too short to not enjoy my DD, so I bought a Fiat.

$13,000. It's a 2016 with 6000 miles on it with auto climate, heated seats, and bluetooth/xm. My insurance is $200 a month with lots of coverage, I've gotten a couple of speeding tickets in the last 2 years and used my insurance to fix some paint damage a year ago, so my rates have gone up a little compared to in the past. The WRX cost $100 more a month with equal coverage. I'm 28, male, unmarried, blah blah.
I haven't driven it enough to have a feel for mileage, but my 2012 averaged around 28 mpg with lots of city driving and full throttle.

That is damn cheap. Do they require premium fuel?

$29,000 with 8000 miles on it, I can't say that I'm sorry to see it go. It was fast, but the power wasn't usable without hitting go to jail speeds, I can rip through three gears up to redline in the Abarf without breaking the law, plus it sounds great. The handling is so immediate, there's a stark difference between the two cars though the WRX soaks up bumps MUCH better, you feel every bump and imperfection in the Abarth.

At $29k trade in you didn't get totally boned on the Subaru.

My GF still has her Renegade. I'll be keeping an eye out for a Wrangler for ~$20k or maybe a truck, but clean trucks are expensive with 4x4 and can't trail ride as well.
There seem to be a good amount of them around here, the Fiat diller that I bought it from was busy, I had to wait in line for finance.
