sounds exactly like the price range of the miata/solstice/sky. All are rather sporty, RWD, and convertables. If he wanted to he could probably invest in a hardtop as well.My friend will be geting his first car next year. He will have around 18k(lucky bastard!) on account of a good job and nice ass parents. He would like sumthing kinda of sporty but probably wouldnt want to work on it too much. Any suggestions?

Note the word RWD and the word snow. They do not mix. I'd say go for the old WRX or an old Audi (you might even be able to find a quattro). Or, if he wants more luxury, more safety, and a slightly less manic ride, go for a used Legacy H6. Those are what I see a lot of in Vermont.

Depends what you want to do.
The A110s managed the snow quite nicely
But having to swap to snow tyres and studs when necessary might be too much hassle and then AWD is better

I'd still say go for the H6 legacy (3.0 flat-six). It's plenty fast enough for a first car, and without turbo lag it should be more rewarding to drive in Chicago.
