07-09 Honda Civic SI sedan with Navigation 02-06 Camry SE 4 cylinder manual or V6 automatic 07-09 Camry SE 4 cylinder/manual transmission 00-05 Lexus GS300 02-05 Lexus IS300 manual (would have to be white) 04-06 Acura MDX (Touring) 03-06 Saab 9-3 02-06 BMW 330 (manual with sport package) 02-03 TL Type S 04-06 TL manual transmission Some are more and some are less than my budget. It just seems hard to find what I am looking for in the right color with the right options. I also considered a RSX Type S but after driving one a few days I realize that I really need a car with 4 doors. It just makes it easier and less hassle with my 5 year old,

But then you go and throw 2 Camrys, a Lexus GS, and an MDX at us when one of you requirements is fun-to-drive?? By the way, I know its not widespread, but the tranny troubles with that generation TL would keep me away, personally. Especially with all the power of the Type S routing through it. by the way, if you are willing to consider a 4-cyl Camry, I would certainly expand your BMW search to include the 325. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 04, 2009 3:06 pm) I would consider an Audi A3 manual but the reliability concerns me. Today Gee suggested the A3 or a CRV 07+. I know we are all over the place but this tends to happen when we start car hunting. If it doesn't fall into our lap we go back and forth until we come across a spectacular deal.

Replying to: british_rover (Nov 04, 2009 3:10 pm) Only the '04+ TLs offered manuals.

Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 04, 2009 3:23 pm) So, the deal is more important than the car? If Camry is on the list then any V6 Camry would probably tick enough boxes within your budget. Of course if your budget is flexible... |

Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 04, 2009 3:23 pm) Everything else on your list is derivative of what you have.... and, not what you really want.. To go Euro, you have to give up the idea of Honda/Toyo reliability.. Just drink the Kool-Aid... it'll be okay... Life is short.. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 04, 2009 3:51 am) OK, so I called Village about the M3. The sales guy tells me that it's an '03, they are cleaning it up, and they are fitting two new rear tires- and they haven't put a price on it yet. Then he asks, "You interested in buying it?" I almost said, "No, I just call every dealer that has a used M3 on the lot; I want to make sure that they all go to good homes." I'm calling again tomorrow, as they allegedly will have an asking price by then. Here's hoping that the only options are Xenons, H-K, and the cold weather package...
