I was in the same boat a few weeks ago. I had been thinking about getting something new (the LS had 81k miles and I was kind of tired of it) then the TC went. This killed the sell the LS plan for something new. I did look at and test the following. Oh, like you, I didnâ??t need a four door family hauler.

Acura RSX-S, I donâ??t have to comment on the build quality or the engine.
Mitsu Eclipse GTS, Built for a 5 7 girl. No head room soft suspension and no zip.
Sentra spec V Real cheap interior, no leather, too much torque steer.
Tiberon GT, 10 year 100k power train warrantee, no head room and no ABS without moon roof.
Celica GTs, under powered, cheap interior overpriced.
Civic coup. No power.

Couldnâ??t even look at a mustang because of my pledge not to give ford another nickel until they make good on my paint.

So in the end I fixed the tranny, replaced the struts and lower arm, a new set of tires and its better then new. All for $1600 (I did the labor myself).

What is wrong with your MTX and how much is it going to cost to fix?
