Financially, its viable.

In reality, its not a good choice.

In terms of street cred, it is SLOWer than your friends Accord, Camry, Altima and any family sedan with a V6 above 2.5 litre...its NOT a good choice to fck around.

Why don't you get a used VW 1.8T (Golf/Jetta). They are relatively cheaper, easy on gas, and can haul *** if you want...
check out www.vwvortex.com forums for more advices

Hope this helps.
