Prefer to spend around 10-15K So far I tried: BMW 3 series - I am not impressed - (besides chicks attraction factor) I think it's a lesser car than Tour (I tried up to 330Xi, may be 2wd 330 will be better) Mazda 6 - Nice but heavy. No secondaries Mazda 3 - nice, light, cheap. But - 4cyl, No secondaries. I got a deal where I get a car for S-Plan pricing and 5000$ for my tour. Around 15K out of pocket for the swap. Mazda RX8 - slow, expensive, high maintenance. Volvo S40 - slow. Honda - can't stand them. What other cars should I look at ? What I am looking for - 4 seats and 4 doors, Auto, Some warranty left. Something to drive to work everyday. 0-60 around 7 seconds. Kirill 98.5 Silver Frost Contour SE Sport (powered by Duratec) traded for 01 Audi A6 2.7T in September 04.

It doesn't sound like you'll be happy with anything else. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX
