I like the looks of the Q50S Infiniti. Paddle shifters though, no manual.
Subarus and VW golf's must be a regional thing. No one drives them in the south except maybe high school kids with loud exhausts.

Re: Suggest me a car with these criteria...
It's getting harder to find a nice "sporty" sedan with a manual transmission and rwd/awd (specially in the US) that's not a BMW or Audi. My original plan was (as already recommended in the thread), BMW 3 series CPO (maybe an E46 or E92 M3) or Audi S4 CPO. If going new, WRX (hoping we get a wagon again). Because of this, I've started to weigh on another option: keep/get a "people mover" car (my current Accord, small SUV or wagon, tacoma or ridgeline) and then add a 2 door fun car.
I need to try a manual Mini, GTI and Focus ST. I'm bias on having a fun car that is fwd (had an RSX and a Miata, prefered the Miata even though it was slower), but a lot of people say those three are really fun to drive.
A Subaru BRZ or 2015+ Mustang seem like fun, relatively cheap cars.

Re: Suggest me a car with these criteria...
You've never seen a lot of Subis unless you've been to CO. Between those, Jeeps and 4runners, there are basically no other vehicles on the road.

I have an 1.8T with APR chip / downpipe & exhaust + intake upgrades (+ suspension, spacers etc etc).
Fun car but finally getting too old.

Re: Suggest me a car with these criteria...
I had a GTI and a Rabbit. They get small quickly with kids.
If you are open to a wagon or X1, take a look at the new Mini Countryman.
Built on an X1 frame with an 8 speed auto 4 cylinder 2.0L.

I like the countryman a lot. Honestly, the interiors are nicer than most modern BMWs. I tried to convince my wife into one when her x1 for totalled, but she wanted a bigger ute.fastward wrote:I had a GTI and a Rabbit. They get small quickly with kids.

Golf/ GTI is a lot bigger than it used to be. Interior space is somewhere between the X1 and the Countryman, FYI.

That Fiat is butt-ugly.
Another vehicle I like is the Mazda CX-5. Wish they made a suped-up version.

Re: Suggest me a car with these criteria...
I'd say get a trick muffler or exhaust system if you want growl. They can make a six sound like an eight.
Not as much can be done for a four though. They typically get buzzy, though the 2.4-L on our RDX sounds kind of decent when you get on it. Not a growl. More of a scream.

I've thought about that several times. Every few years seems that someone at work gets hit and badly injured. Always puts a damper on that topic for me.Safetystop wrote:Retrieve your big boy panties from your wife's purse and, fuck it, get a motorcycle

CX-5 is nice and lots of bang for the buck.Bradystraps wrote:That Fiat is butt-ugly.

I was downsizing a few months ago and came close to getting one of these. I was coming from a caddy and in the end they made made me a great deal on my trade and a demo XT5 so went that way.
So, a recommendation for cx-5 and xt-5
